Travel tip: avoid paying $.99 for travel sized soap
Make yourself an ultra mini travel soap container: use the plastic case of the QTip purse pack hard case (you can also get these at Target in the travel toiletries section), take out the QTips, when you are down to the last bit of bar soap in the shower at home (a.k.a. the part that likes to slip off the soap dish) put that in your QTip container.
Voila.
Mini travel soap dish.
Its smaller and lighter than travel soap containers (and cheaper than travel sized soaps) that you buy as you probably don’t need to be carrying around that much soap on a trip anyway.

Message:Hi guys, I like your product, but here is why i won’t be buying it.
1. I have a solio that started off the same way (requiring specific adapters and selling a USB as an option rather than including it)
2. All of my devices have USB adapters, so buying specific adapters is basically spending extra money when the device will probably be gone in a short amount of time (you know how that works)
3. for 100$ the few features that I will be using renders this product a niche product.
So basically, what I am looking for is a USB charging station (hub functionality would be good as well) for my 5-10 items that have the USB capability.
Thanks, fredlet

Season your cast-iron skillet
[found here and copied for brevity's sake]
Instructions
* STEP 1: Scrub a new skillet with steel wool to remove its protective coating, and wash with mild, soapy water. (If re-seasoning an old skillet, just scrub with hot water and a brush.)
* STEP 2: Use a paper towel to coat the skillet with vegetable oil.
* STEP 3: Heat, uncovered, for 2 hours in an oven at 250 degrees F.
* STEP 4: Let cool before use.
Warnings
* Once you’ve seasoned a skillet, avoid washing it with soap whenever possible. Clean instead by wiping with a damp cloth after each use. If you must wash it, clean with mild soap, avoiding detergents and scouring pads; rinse and wipe dry immediately after washing, then oil lightly with vegetable oil.
* If food sticks to the skillet after cooking, rub with a paper towel and an abrasive such as salt, then reapply vegetable oil. Store uncovered.
* If food starts sticking to the skillet during cooking, re-season it.
