We FA’s hoard magazines. If you were to look inside a FA’s tote at any given time you would find a ton of magazines. We don’t buy them. We find them. We walk through the cabin after you leave, and we find them. They’re usually your regular “trash”….People, US Weekly, OK, they’re fun to read but the real scores for me are Oprah, or travel magazines. There are a lot of great ideas inside those. I do try to read and pass them on before I get home….my husband appreciates this….they tend to accumulate pretty quickly.

Anyway, her are a few good ideas I found recently.

FOR KIDS: This is so great it’s a blanket, pillow and stuffed animal all in one! Zafaru the girraffe ($39. @ http://www.chloeinstyle.com/jafaru-giraffe-p-1176.html

TOO COOL: Here is a way to get around the no liquids rule. http://www.irvs.com sells “sheets” of shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, and laundry soap….just add water! $5.

CLEVER: Next time you travel with your kids string froot loops or fruity cheerios on dental floss to make a necklace. It becomes a “self” serve snack. A little trick to pull out in case of a “rough” patch, and what the heck have them floss there teeth when they’re done!
