Tips from a Flight Attendant[/caption]
Flight Attendant Keri has spent the past six years of her life traveling for a living, and boy has she picked up some great tips for staying beautiful in flight! Read on for our interview with her!
Nomaterra: What airline do you work for?
KL: I work for United Airlines, what used to be the old Continental.
N: How long have you been working for them?
KL: I've been with them for six years!
N: Where do you fly often?
KL: I've been doing only international flights for the past 4years. I just transferred this month back to domestic flying. So normally I am all over Europe but I would work a lot of trips to Scotland, Ireland, and England.
N: What have been your favorite places to visit?
KL: I love Edinburgh! It's such an amazing city. Dublin is always a fun time. Athens was amazing and the food was to die for. Hong Kong is also really cool. And of course Paris never gets old!
N: How long do you normally get to stay in a given place?
KL: It depends on where we fly, internationally the layovers are usually 24 hours. But domestically it can be anywhere from 8 hours to 30 hours. It's always changing
N: What are your top three favorite US cities and why?
KL: That's so hard! I'm going to have to narrow it down to four:
San Francisco
Los Angeles: I just love the west coast. The vibe, the beach, the weather. It's a nice break
Austin: I'm a Texas girl and Austin is where it's at!
NYC: This one is just obvious. Everyone loves New York and I've been living here since I started this job. It's everything you could ever want on a tiny island.
N: What beauty secrets do you have for keeping skin and hair looking great in spite of constantly traveling?
KL: It's definitely a challenge because the air is so dry up there. So staying hydrated is a must! Drink lots of water, always have lotion, Chapstick, and eye drops. And baby powder for the hair.
N: Are you allowed to wear fragrance when you fly, and if so what do you wear?
KL: We are allowed to as long as it isn't over bearing. It can be a disaster if there's too many different smells going on. My favorite perfume is Estes Lauder Pleasures. But in the summer I'll wear more floral perfume like Gucci Flora.
N: What are your travel product essentials?
KL: Well I've become an expert packer. I always have my bag packed for any weather because things change so often that you could end up somewhere you weren't expecting. So I always have a bathing suit, gym clothes, long and short sleeve clothing, light sweater, extra under garments, make up, make up remover wipes, lotions, perfume, my watch, and a pen.
Nomaterra was thrilled to be a part of Missionelle's Art of Seduction event at Toshi's Penthouse in the Flatiron Hotel last night! Our founder, Aggie Burnett, was invited to speak as part of a panel of fashion and beauty experts about the art of seduction. There was a lot of fantastic advice to be had, with gems like celebrity hairstylist Aleksandra Sasha Nesterchuk's insistence that to be seductive "you have to want to have sex with yourself!"
Following the panel, Nomaterra set up a fragrance corner where guests could try out a variety of different aphrodisiac blends. The blends were made with essential oils that are known aphrodisiacs such as lavender, ylang ylang, and jasmine. We also provided custom samples of our blends to guests so that they could test them out at home!
Thanks so much to everyone that came out and to Missionelle for allowing us to share our expertise. Happy Friday everyone!

Pike Place Market Seattle[/caption]
It's a well known fact that New Yorkers are constantly on the move, and that constant business requires great amounts of caffeine! So it goes without saying that we're all pretty big coffee junkies. That said, we're super excited about this weeks Travel Shot Tuesday post about
Pike Place Market in Seattle, WA. This super cool market is the home of one of Starbucks's classic blends, and is a great spot to check out on a lazy weekend afternoon!
The concept for this store was conceived in 1998 a flight somewhere between New York and Paris by two business travelers, John Sencion and Brad John. Be the first to find this fantastic travel store to win a bottle of Nomaterra's Miami fragrance! Be sure to send a photo of yourself with the bottle to admin@nomaterra.com!
