Scented Cotton Balls
- Instead of lugging bulky, breakable perfume bottles, soak some cotton balls in your favorite scent and stuff them into empty film canisters. Then just use them one at a time - the airtight canisters keep the fragrance fresh!

Secondhand Backpack - Look 'Seasoned'
- Travelling for the first time and alone? Look at buying a backpack secondhand so that it does not look like you are a first time traveller. A used backpack will look as if you have been around the traps a bit.

Security Concerns
- Security is of utmost importance when traveling alone. I wish someone would do a feature 60-minute-type program on this issue. As a B&B owner, and as a single female traveler, here are some tips I've learned throughout my travels:

NEVER take a room in which the desk clerk has mentioned your room number out loud. Make them write the number down.
NEVER open your room door to ANYONE. i.e., maintenance, FLOWER delivery, etc., until you have called down to the front desk to verify the service. You may even ask that two people, one female, be sent should you be expecting anything.

Shopping Without Guilt
- Conveniently forget to pack certain necessary clothing - that way you will not need an excuse to buy it when you reach your 'end' destination. It then becomes a necessity. It eliminates any guilt feelings. A bit abstract, but it works for me!

Small Compact for Travel
- Mary Kay makes a compact that carries everything you could need - two eyeshadows, a blush, a lipgloss, and application brushes. The compact is relatively small - just perfect for travel - and you can pick your own colors. I NEVER travel without it, and I still look like I brought my whole makeup kit. You can add mascara and an eyelash curler for a truly stare-worthy look.
