🔫 My secret trick for hotel hair dryers

It's teeny tiny and I keep it in my carry-on.

Hi! Sorry for the TIBAAC after dark late newsletter tonight (shout-out to

Emily Sundberg

).

I just got back from a mini vacay in the Berkshires where it was beautiful and verdant but hot. It was nice to be away, but I’m happy to be reunited with my full-size products, Reid’s playpen and my favorite breakfast sandwiches.

🔫 My super secret hotel hair dryer trick

Hotel dryers suck. We know this. But we also know we don’t want to waste carry-on real estate with a bulky dryer.

I aspire to air-dried hair, but I’m not yet at a point where I can do that every day of vacay. My texture is too varied and I can’t handle that kind of strand unpredictability so I bring something that keeps my hair looking super smooth and healthy, even when I’m using a dryer with technology from sans ions, from eons ago. Unless you’ve reported backstage at fashion week (how I discovered this little gem), you probably haven’t heard about it. I’m dishing on it below for paid subscribers this week.

PS:

This cutwork sweatshirt in green (though it’s also stunning in red) is so up my alley, it’s mugging me.

I’ve been waiting for this swimsuit, highly recommended by

, to be restocked in green and it’s finally available!

I love the angle I can achieve with this adhesive laptop stand that lives under my laptop.
