17 Hotel Hacks from BuzzFeed
Hello, Hello!!
A Bee-U-Tee-Full Fall day here on Long Island!! So what am I doing today? Well, the first thing I'll be doing is heading out to get a freshly squeezed juice. I have been trying to drink one every day (or thereabouts) as I've already packed my juicers away for the big move. Although I vary things, my usual (and favorite) is: Celery, Strawberry, Orange, Carrot, Green Apple and Kiwi. It's yummy and healthy!! 
Moving right along...
I had to share the COOLEST travel hack I found on BuzzFeed.com. These suggestions are practical, creative and quite useful! Tell us what you think!
17 Hotel Hacks You Really Need To Know
Before Your Next Trip 
How cool is this - if your curtains don't close all the way!! (photo credit: buzzfeed.com)
1. No bottle opener in your hotel room? Check your door — it might do the trick.
2. If you're just going away for a day or two and don't want to lug all your cosmetics and moisturizers with you, a contact lens case makes the perfect little container for whatever you'll need.
3. Nowhere sanitary to stash your toothbrush in the hotel? Take a paper cup , turn upside down and stab right through it. 4. Are you the type who always leaves your charger in the hotel? Attach your car keys to the charger — you literally won't be able to leave the hotel without it. 5. Are you grossed out by touching those germy hotel TV remotes? Take one of the plastic liners from the ice bucket, and wrap that nasty thing up.

6. Not enough counter space in your hotel room? There's probably an ironing board in the closet you can break out.
7. If your hotel room doesn't have a fridge, grab your ice bucket and fill up the bathroom sink instead. 8. If your hotel doesn't have a nightstand, a simple fold in the sheets on the side of your bed can come in handy. 9. If you're packing bottles with caps that can easily pop open, wrap a little saran wrap underneath the caps to prevent any shampoo-related disasters in your suitcase. 10. Y'know those hotel power switches that force you to put your key card in the slot? Yeah, any card or thick piece of paper will get you power — not just your key. Now you can charge your electronics while you go out and explore the city!

11. A daily pill box makes for a great way to transport necklaces and bracelets without them getting tangled together into one giant knot.
12. If the curtains in your hotel room don't close all the way, check the closet for one of those hangers with clips. 13. If you're traveling internationally, instead of bringing multiple power adapters for all your electronics, just bring one adapter — and a power strip. 14. Need a good, safe place to stash your cash while sightseeing? An empty tube of lip balm can do the trick. 15. Packing something that wrinkles easily? A plastic file folder doubles as a cheap and effective way to protect those items.

16. If you're on a long plane ride with no in-flight TVs, a crushed soda can makes a decent impromptu phone stand.
17. Or stick your phone in a plastic baggie and hang it from the seat in front of you. Magic! That's all folks - have a super saturday!! -Travelin' Elisa xoxo
