As I was preparing for my extended \u00a0trip to Japan, I started to research what is the latest on unique travel accessories and how to make your long trip more pleasant.\u00a0 Aside from my long haul flight essentials<\/a> (I posted about them last year), here\u2019s a list of some ingenious travel gadgets to make your journey more pleasant.<\/p>\n Jabra MOVE Bluetooth Headphones:\u00a0<\/a> I must admit, I am not a huge fan of headphones. I am one of those people that always likes to be able to hear what\u2019s going on around me at all times.\u00a0 However, on a long flight that may not always be the case. One must find a way to tune out the noise, whether it is from a screaming child or talkative neighbor.\u00a0 The Jabra wireless headphones are light and comfortable, they also come with a cord, making it easy to use with the in-flight entertainment, and the sound quality is very good.\u00a0 I also liked that the headphones are smaller than the other wireless headphones out there and at $79.99 they are at a more affordable price point. The only point for improvement would be for Jabra to offer a case to come with the headphones to protect them from getting banged up in the carry-on bag.<\/p>\n Human Charger:\u00a0<\/a> Imagine a device that helps your beat jetlag by using light therapy through headphones.\u00a0 This is what The Human Charger does.\u00a0 I uploaded the Human Charger accompanying free app and started the light therapy a few days before my trip began and a few days after arriving at my destination.\u00a0 Given I was in the first trimester of my pregnancy and wanted to sleep ALL THE TIME during the test period, I didn\u2019t see a dramatic difference. However, I am intrigued by this technology and plan to give it a second chance now that my chronic fatigue has gone away. Human Charger, $219 for kit.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Happy Luxe:<\/a>\u00a0 Why are planes always so cold?\u00a0 Happy Luxe, a line of unique travel accessories came to the rescue with comfy eye masks, heated wraps, and pillows for your flight.\u00a0 I liked the selection of colors and how you can insert a portable hand warmer to your shawl to make it warm around your neck.\u00a0 The fabric is soft, like a good quality t-shirt, easy to wash, and very portable.\u00a0 The Happy Luxe line was invented by Leah Murakami, \u00a0a US Air Force fighter pilot turned commercial pilot who is keen on developing comfortable and unique travel accessories. Happy Luxe wrap, $29.95; Happy Luxe Eye Mask, $15.95<\/em><\/p>\n Bubi Water Bottle<\/a>:\u00a0 I always feel like I am being robbed by buying water at the airport.\u00a0 I used to always forget, but now I have been more diligent in carrying a reusable water bottle while traveling. Better for the environment and your wallet. The Bubi Water Bottle not only saves you money, it saves you space as well. It is made from a flexible plastic that allows you to fold it into a tiny package when not filled with water.\u00a0 The bottle is also dishwasher safe and BPA free. Aside from travel, I used Bubi Water Bottle at the gym and office.\u00a0 The only qualm I\u2019ve noticed is that it doesn\u2019t stand steady on uneven surfaces as the bottom is slightly rounded.\u00a0 Then again, with a hard bottom it would be difficult to roll up.\u00a0 I\u2019ll take portability over sturdiness when it comes to a travel water bottle.<\/p>\n<\/a>
