Getting ready for a packed season of weekend excursions and business trips, but don’t want to sacrifice your personal hygiene regime while on the road?

William Roam is an American-made brand focused on crafting high-quality travel essentials for hoteliers and gents on the go. While folks can buy individual toiletries from the website (including shower gels, moisturizers, shampoos, lotions, and everything in between), the company also boasts a range of travel sets that mix-n-match products for a more streamlined user experience.

One such set is the aforementioned Steam Travel Set, which features 15 different products from the William Roam line. While this number might seem like a lot, it’s pretty evenly split between fun-sized toiletries (like aloe soap, body lotion, shaving cream, toothpaste, bath salts, shampoo, and conditioner) and practical must-haves (shower cap, mending kit, shoe mitten, cotton swabs, shave kit, and toothbrush). Long story short: No matter the journey, the Steam set aims to have you covered. In fact, one of our editors took the kit to Europe last week to see how it would fair and found it to be more than enough for a week’s trip.

Though the collection is indeed diverse, the toiletry items do share one defining characteristic — they all feature Meadowfoam oil sourced directly from the Willamette Valley in Oregon (The Manual’s home state). The oil is well-known for its skin-softening and antioxidant properties and has been shown to lock-in moisture for all-day comfort. In addition to these exfoliating benefits, the substance also has a warm fragrance that’s cozy without being too pungent.

But where oh where to store these fantastic ointments, tinctures, and balms? Luckily, William Roam has you covered. All the products come packaged in a personal ditty bag, which features a nylon lining and satin zipper pull. Plop the kit on your hotel bathroom counter and let your new self-care routine spill forth!

The STEAM set currently retails for $35. For more on the collection, check it out at William Roam!

Travel tips: How to maintain your skincare routine when you’re on the go

Skincare routine travel tips that you can actually follow anywhere and everywhere

skincare products in the sand

Travel can be considered a form of self-care. Research from 2021 showed that travel could boost happiness, and a small study from 2020 had similar findings. Mental health is important, but what about skin health? Jet lag, days out in the sun, changing climates, and early morning wake-up calls can do a number on your skin. Think puffy eyes, sunburn, dark circles, and dryness.

Of course, you’ll probably be snapping photos of yourself in front of all the landmarks or beaches you visit. These days, iPhone cameras are essentially as good as the real deal, picking up on all of last night’s big sins. There’s no shame in wanting to look as good as you feel. A solid skincare routine is critical.

Seriously, you don't want to be caught in Thailand trying to find the items that normally come in a laundry kit when you could purchase the thing before your flight!

Think about it. Most people put considerable thought into packing the stuff they want to take on a trip, but less so when it comes to how they're going to get laundry done. In the article below, we've put together some ideas about how you can do your laundry when traveling at home and abroad.
How should you wash your clothes when traveling?
There are a few different ways you can do your laundry when on a trip. Much depends on your budget, the country you're traveling in, and your overall travel style.
Use the services of a hotel
Why not do your laundry while staying at a hotel once you reach your destination? Many provide laundry and dry cleaning services, so you should definitely ask. If the hotel offers these services, you should find a form in your hotel room along with a laundry bag.

Humanrace Skincare Review: Inside Pharrell Williams’s New Grooming Line

humanrace pharrell skincare product review 2019 essence festival day 3

We weren't surprised when Pharrell launched his skincare line, Humanrace, this past November. If anything, we were surprised it took this long! The 47-year-old entertainer and entrepreneur can easily be mistaken for half his age. What's the secret to his vitality? Is it just good genetics, or does he have a mirror hidden in an attic ala Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray?
Both Pharrell and I share the same hometown, Virginia Beach, and I've always hoped that it was just something in the Atlantic ocean that could also give me the same youthful glow. Now, we know that a key to his well-preserved skin is Humanrace's 3-step grooming routine dubbed the "three-minute facial." Although we can now confirm the Virginia Beach water doesn't sprout from the fountain of youth, I luckily now have my hands on the next best thing. Here's why you should get it, too.
