Customized ROAM Suitcase ROAM is the world's first and only fully color-customizable luggage brand, and it comes in fun, fashion-forward colors. I am a big fan of purple, so I customized mine with a purple frame, pink wheels, and tan zipper. It's so easy for me to retrieve my luggage, because I can quickly spot it on the carousel amid a sea of black suitcases. My initials are embossed into the leather cardholder. The built-in TSAapproved locking system means I don't have to carry around an extra lock when traveling. The hardest part of ordering my luggage was choosing from the many vibrant colors ROAM offers.

Centric Activewear People often ask me how I can travel so much, flit through time zones, devour new adventures at a gluttonous pace, and come through it fully energized and ready for more. My secret is yoga. I’ve had a daily practice since I was a teenager. It goes with me wherever I wander. That said, yoga fashion plays an integral role in my life, and there’s always room for yoga attire in my suitcase. While I am not a person who ever wears yoga clothing all day, I have one brand that feels so good and flatters so well, I’d wear it to a cocktail party, if necessary. Centric Activewear, my go-to yoga ensemble, comes in bright colors and uses revolutionary fabric technologies for performance, comfort, and support. Prices vary at us.centricwear.com
