Summer Fun Products to Add to Your Travels
Timi & Leslie Bag
When I was first asked if I wanted a sample of the Timi &
Leslie diaper bags – used by many celebrities – I was quick to turn it down.
Then, on the PR rep’s urging, I took a look at the bags on the site and I was
sold. They are beautiful and functional as both diaper bags and travel bags.
I recently took my Hannah Pastel bag on my Croatia trip and
I loved it. It has a separate zippered sac and clutch purse, and lots of
pockets. I loved the outside pockets for my water bottle and cell phone.
For those of you that actually need a diaper bag, it also
has a changing pad, an insulated bottle tote, and a stroller strap.
. I love the lilac and navy.
Yes, this all natural gel appears to work. I had it on for
two nights and did not get a single bite, despite it being a mosquito filled
summer (thanks to the rain). The only downside is that it does smell slightly
like bug spray, but much less than others and it’s gentler on your skin.

Kenny Chesney's Blue Chair Bay has two new rums and they are well worth picking up. The Banana Rum Cream is a cocktail of its own and, in the lazy days of summer, it’s nice to just pour something over ice and not have to start mixing.
The Blue Chair Bay Vanilla Rum is also quite good, though I found it too sweet on its own. Pour in some soda – plain was fine for me – and you’ll be good to go.
Visit the Blue Chair Bay Rum website for more information.
I know many people say that gin and tonic is a summertime
drink, but it happens to be my favorite cocktail any time of year. I had yet to
try Nolet’s Silver Gin and was excited when I received the bottle. It didn’t
let me down. It’s a nice combo of floral and fruit, but enough juniper that you
have no doubt what spirit it is.
See more of Nolet’s Gins on their website.
If you are looking for an inexpensive ($7.50) wine for summer barbecues that will work on its own or fruity for sangria, look no further than Oliver Winery’s Soft Red. It’s a bit sweet and a bit fruity, but neither is powerful. It’s a very easy drinking wine.

Here’s the answer for those who prefer the whites.
Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi not only has a selection of low budget white
wines, but they come in 1.5 leader bottles. The Pinot Grigio is a nice light
one you can drink on its own, or mix into a white sangria. (I love white
sangria with peaches and pears.)

liter Woodbridge wines available.
I remember when the Corksicle came out. I thought it was a
great invention and I still do. Now, I’ve got VinOice in front of me. It works
in a similar method, chilling the wine from within quickly, without diluting
it. The difference is that this product also has a pouring spot that closes to
keep the wine fresher. I’ve also found that I can get more uses out of it than
I did the Corksicle so at under $30, it’s a good deal.

One of the most important things I’ve learned about
traveling is staying hydrated, especially when drinking wine. I confess that
I’ve done my damage on the landfills with plastic water bottles. ZeroWater
Tumbler has changed that for me.
This container is not only BPA-free and leak resistant, but
it filters the water for me, an important step because I drink a lot of water
and I’m choosy about the taste. At only $15 it will save you from purchasing
many plastic water bottles.
