Memorial Day is on the horizon, marking the unofficial start of Summer, extended getaways, and travels near and far. I always enjoy a good "life hack", one that makes things easier, more user-friendly, and especially more eco-friendly. Travel hacks are extra helpful, streamlining our belongings down to "just the essentials". When these essentials are sustainable as well- it's a win-win.

As our planning and day-dreaming commence, here are some simple ways to save your pocket book, while also minding the planet. Plus, don't miss the "secret weapon" in your multi-tasking arsenal.

8. Magic Molecule Hypochlorous Acid Spray: Hypochlorous Acid really is making a splash lately! The compound is made naturally by our own bodies- it's produced by our white blood cells to promote healing and repair. To replicate this outside of the body, an electrochemical process is used that combines water (H20), salt (NaCl) and an electrical current. The end result mimics our body's same magic healing power!
