If you're like me, luggage space is at a premium when you travel; after all, you need an outfit for every possible situation! But lack of space in your suitcase for a pair of running shoes isn't a good excuse to skip on a workout while you travel. Whether you've forgotten to pack your gear or don't have any space to add your fitness travel essentials, here are three workouts you can do using only what you've got in your hotel room!
Glide it: SLT Yoga trainer and Under Armour model Natalie Uhling loves using hand towels or washcloths in place of gliders (one for each foot) to do this effective move almost anywhere when she doesn't have that much time to exercise. "On any slick surface, do sets of 20 knee into your tricep [to work] your obliques and your glutes," she recommends. If your hotel room is carpeted, use the floor in the bathroom or room foyer to do this move.
Video workout: If you have a laptop, follow along to our workouts that use props you already have in your room. Try this hotel room video workout, or grab those towels again and do this total-body towel workout from Madonna's trainer.
Pilates: A mat workout like Pilates helps you tone your entire body in a small space. Natalie recommends doing sets of the Pilates classic move Hundreds whenever you get a chance; you can do these anywhere on your hotel room floor.

If you read my book Lauren Conrad Style, then you may already know that I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to traveling. While I love jetting off for a vacation, I can't say that I like the dozens of red-eye flights and security checks that I deal with when flying somewhere. To ease the pain of traveling, I like to keep my look simple and smart. I say smart because there are so many things you can do to cut down on potential security screenings and make the act of traveling more comfortable. Today I will be sharing my smart style tips for traveling since I figured that many of you might be making journeys in the air this holiday season . . .

'Tis the season to be jolly but also, to jump on a plane and take a much-needed holiday. When it comes to travel, it's important to downsize on the products, but that doesn't mean compromising on quality. A holiday is about rest and relaxation, so why not give the gift of hassle-free, plane-ready beauty goods this Christmas? They key ingredients to good holiday skin include hydration in the form of miracle face and body oils, beauty balms and bronzed makeup. Come fly with me?
Travelling on a plane can leave you feeling tired, dirty, and dehydrated — which is nobody's idea of fun. If you want to step off the plane looking and feeling your best over the holidays, stash these purse-sized beauty necessities in your carry-on bag. The next time you fly, you'll alight and be positively glowing. For a hydrating mist as effective as the one shown in this video, try Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist ($24).

And don't forget your hand sanitiser!

Keeping a travel diary for Vogue US (some people have all the luck), Kate let slip, calling Michael her fiancé. "On our first day in Seoul, my fiancé, Michael Polish, and I venture out to discover Changdeokgung Palace. As soon as we enter, it is like magically being transported to a different world — this awe-inspiring, sprawling place was originally built in 1405,” Kate wrote on Aug. 1. Michael was happy to back it up, tweeting on Aug 4. "August 4, 2012... What dreams are made of @katebosworth”. Too cute — congratulations to the happy couple!
