An amazing trick! Our 1-minute video shows you how to easily retrieve anything that went down the drain…without a pipe wrench or a plumber.

As we packed for our return home from San Diego, I shot this 1-minute video showing one of the ways we use packing cubes to stay sane when we travel. The cubes we use are eBags’ Packing Cubes.Similar products include Rick Steves’ Cubesand these clear front cubes from Lewis N. Clark.So, click your buns off and start taming the travel clutter.

Apparently, super studly, best selling author, Tim Ferriss feels the same way. He recently bragged in his book The 4-Hour Workweekabout living in super plush apartments in Berlin and Buenos Aires for McDonald’s fry cook money. People cried foul, claiming $300 dollar a month luxury apartments are a myth.
You’ve all heard me extoll my laziness before. I’m going to do it again and this is a big one. Ready? Breastfeed. Hell, you’ve got everything you need. It’s easy. It’s cheap. It’s portable. It has no expiration date, and already comes in the perfect comfortable and attractive carrying case for easy travel.
Now before everybody starts berating me for being insensitive to those moms that have overwhelming physical or emotional obstacles to breastfeeding, let me say right up front that I’m not about to put them down — they have my support and understanding.
