BRING THE EXPERIENCE 

ROBB Vices

The luxe magazine ROBB Report now offers ROBB Vices, a member box around $80 a month shipped right to your door or place of travel to help you cultivate celebration on a regular basis. Each big black box brings unique experiences to your door to remind you that you don't need to celebrate just over the holidays, but well, just whenever you can! The selection is for the sophisticated consumer with exquisite taste. Products curated include fine spirits, handmade leather goods, high quality foods and other rare finds.

In our first ROBB Vices box, we decapitated a bottle of champagne on the beach with a beautiful sabre from the iconic Georg Jensen company of Copenhagen. In honor of our third date which basically launched our relationship at sunset in Malibu, we recreated that special day. Our box included an artful functional silver sword, with delicious (I mean incredibly delicious) Robb Vices Reserve French Sparkling Wine, and a ripe, blackcurrant berry liquor from Creme de Cassis from Dijon, France, a nice accompaniment to our bubbly. I later learned from the accompanying book that helps you understand the story of each selection, that the liquor was made famous by the Kir Royale cocktail.

If you can't jetset, each box will feel like a surprise where you can "travel" to different experiences right in your own home. You can even gift the box. I mean, shouldn't we all be celebrating life whenever we can?

Air Pods

Move away clunky headphones, and dance your way through travel nightmares and long lines with the new lightweight Air Pods that fit conveniently in each ear with no wires. Hook up your favorite playlist on your iPhone and feel like there is a personal concert going on in your mind. The AirPods charge in a little case, and when you take them out they instantly turn on and connect to your iPhone, Apple Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac. Music pauses when you take them out.

BEAUTIFY YOURSELF

Liz Jones Makeup Kits

Forgo your makeup bag full of beauty products you probably won't wear that take up way too much room, and take the all-in-one kit from Liz Jones on your next trip. She is a leading Australian makeup artist and founder of Liz Jones Cosmetics. Her all-in-one makeup kits come with video instructions. The Bronze Face Kit is my favorite including healthy summer tones with concise step by step instructions. Snap the case open and look in the kit's mirror to apply Bronzer, Eye Shadow, Lip gloss, Concealer, Eye pencil, and Mascara with an assortment of specific brushes.

Arcona Triad Pads 2 Go

Arcona's yummy smelling cranberry toner is now in convenient travel packets to-go. Remove make-up with the pads when too tired, or use them to refresh after a workout or a long flight. The multi-purpose cranberry milk infused pads cleanse, tone, and hydrate skin infusing your skin with protective antioxidants to leave it glowing and refreshed. The cranberry extract, containing vitamins, phyto-nutrients and essential fatty acids help protect and clarify skin. The 'magic' pads also neutralize free radicals with vitamin E tocopherols and tocotrienols while nourishing and restoring skin with omegas 3, 6 and 9 and rice milk. That has to be good!

Away Suitcase with Charger 

What a hassle to have to be chained to the wall of an airport while you charge your phone when the new sturdy Away Bag created by two Warby Parker alums allows you two power up from your roller bag in route. Half the price of their competitors, the carry-on versions allow you to remove the 10,000 mAh battery and two USB ports so that you can recharge a phone or tablet with ease and be compliant with airplane rules. There's even a monogram edition.

ACBC, a customizable travel shoe 

ACBC or Advanced Commuter Basic Concept is a new Italian shoe company that has designed eco-friendly, modular, customizable shoes for men and women that take less space than a T-shirt. Perfect for packing in a carry-on! Their latest collection is based on functionality and use: Street Style, Business, and Active. ACBC offers 16 skin styles and 61 color combinations so you can transform your travel style, from an every day sneaker to a tennis shoe to a casual shoe to a dress shoe. The shoes can even be recycled when the soles wear out, reducing your carbon footprint.

In 3 steps, you can create your 'sole mate' by:

  1. Select your sole
    2. Pair it with your Skin (upper) of choice
    3. Zip them together to create a pair for any occasion.

The Italians know shoes, so it is no surprise that no detail has gone unnoticed.  Each pair of ACBC shoes is made with top-of-the-line materials, including full grain leather, flexible and ultra-light fly-knits, an anti-shock and anti-odor insole, an ergonomic zipper puller, and a waterproof zipper that protects the interior of the shoe from water and humidity.
