Travel Tips . . .

To make your next trip even more comfortable,

you might want to consider:

Filtered Breathing.  Face it . . . the person next to you on an airplane, bus, subway, cruise ship, or train wasn’t thinking about protecting your health when they boarded!  These people can be sick and so self-absorbed with accomplishing their own goals that they feel it is their right to subject others to their illness.  Or, they can be unwitting and innocent “carriers” that “share” quite by accident.  Either way, you get what they got.  It has taken decades for non-smokers to finally demand their rights to “breathe fresh.”  Now, it’s time for travelers to also take control of their environment and protect their own health . . . and to assume personal responsibility for doing so.  In February 2004, Elaine C. Jong, MD., Clinical Professor of Medicine and Travel and Co-Director of Tropical medicine Service, University of Washington School of Medicine issued the 10 Commandments of Travel Medicine (Audio-Digest Family Practice, Volume 52, Issue 06, February 14, 2004); and Commandment number 9 was “Thou shalt wear thy mask.”  The EnviroAir FaceIt Fashions Designer mask offers a triple filtration system—that can easily be upgraded to an impressive NIOSH 95 rated filtration system.  Peace of mind, something that every traveler should pack!

Ear plugs and flying.  Ear plugs can be a great way to cut down on the fatigue associated with traveling.  The noise of jet engines can literally be exhausting to listen to for a prolonged period of time—and smaller turboprop commuter airplanes tend to even be louder.  A good set of ear plugs can dramatically cut down on the amount of aircraft noise your brain and body has to deal with . . . and in the unlucky event you wind up having an inconsolable, screaming baby on the same flight as you . . . a set of good ear plugs could also help you keep your sanity!  With the EnviroAir FaceIt Fashions Designer Mask, you’ve always got your earplugs at the ready!

Sleep masks.  Truth is, travel can be exhausting.  It’s strange how we can be so self-conscious that we won’t allow ourselves to use a sleep mask and get some much needed shut-eye. When we think about our situation rationally . . . it only makes sense to use a sleep mask, get some rest, and forget about what others think.  If you don’t have a sleep mask, you have to deal with adjacent passengers flipping reading lights on and off—and the flight crew flipping cabin lights on and off!   Plus, there is always that enterprising fellow passenger who carries a huge flashlight just to make sure they can see in the dark!  Some of us are also afraid that if we put on a sleep mask, we’ll wind up missing meals—or worse yet, we’ll wind up sleeping through a landing and miss a connecting flight!  That’s why the EnviroAir FaceIt Fashions Designer Mask has a flip-up eye flap that blocks out light—with a neat sign that says “Do Not Disturb”—and on which you can also pin a note to wake you for meals—or to wake you upon landing!  FaceIt, you deserve the rest you need so that you can be fresh, alert and ready for action when you land.

Cold Therapy.  Are you a migraine or tension headache sufferer?  If so, you’ve probably seen a number of products that use cold compresses to help relieve some of the pain associated with a migraine.  That’s why we’ve included a handy gel compress that can be chilled and taken along on your travels!  Our compress fits into a handy pocket on our FaceIt Fashions Designer Mask—which then conveniently flips up to soothe puffy eyes and an aching head!  Have you ever sprinted the length of an airport concourse, just made it to the gate prior to them closing the aircraft door . . . only to wind up stuck on the tarmac for an hour in the middle of a sweltering August heat-wave on an aircraft where someone seemingly forgot where the “on switch” was?  It’s at times like those that you’ll discover what a relief our cool gel compress can be!  Plus, don’t forget that there are also hotel rooms, rental cars (when you’re a passenger-not the driver), and conference rooms where it’s great to chill out and relax with a little “cold therapy.”

Aroma therapy.  If you’ve ever traveled with a cold or allergies . . . you know how your misery can be compounded by the cramped re-circulated quarters of an airplane, the stuffiness of a hotel room, and the host of odors that fellow passengers seem all too willing to share!  It’s amazing how much comfort the Eucalyptus oil that comes with the EnviroAir FaceIt Fashions Designer Mask can bring!  Just one or two drops of Eucalyptus oil on the disposable filter element provide soothing aroma therapy.  A true road-warrior needs to be armed with every level of travel comfort they can find—and the EnviroAir FaceIt Fashions is a veritable “Swiss Army knife” for protecting the health and ensuring the comfort of the frequent traveler!
