We’re all about to go into travel mode sometime soon (if we aren’t there already). In an ideal world I would pack super early and have time to add little touches like this Tocca Beauty Travel Candle Set ($42 exclusively at Sephora). I like this set because I four different scents Grace, Havana, Kyoto, and Cleopatra come in a boxed set a mood (matches included) so I can set whatever mood I like on the road.

There’s no doubt that we all need to wash our hands often (the threat of swine flu not withstanding). But when you’re in the office or out and about and  have to use that industrial strength hand soap it practically strips all the moisture from your hands as it cleanses. That’s why you need a major hydrator like L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream ($10) to pamper your hands and restore moisture. It’s like carrying a little bit of (affordable) luxury in your handbag. I love Shea Butter but if you’re adventurous, pick up the Hand Delice Kit ($25)  a set of three creams that includes  Lavender and Cherry Blossom in addition to Shea Butter.
