How to keep valuable hidden and safe on the beach. You may gaga a little. Eww. Well, it's an Instagram hack, but I gotta admit, itwould work for me! I usually go paddle boarding and bring my truck keys with me in a waterproof holder. But, sometimes I leave a chair on the beach, and, yep - there are keys and a phone in the back of the chair. It's been a few years since we toted along with a baby to the beach. But, willing to fake it ; ) How much do diapers cost these days anyway? Wondering if I could resell the to beachgoers as a security item?

This seems like a safe hack to me. What do you stink...er, I mean think! How do you keep your stuff safe on the beach? I'm not sure there's a crook on the planet willing to open what he/she thinks is a "poopy diaper" do you? You don't need to carry a fake baby, but it might help.


Taco Bell fans that are looking to show off their fandom while traveling (and yes, there clearly are some) will now be able to do so thanks to a new partnership with CALPAK.

Available via Taco Bell's Taco Shop and CALPAK's official website is a capsule luggage collection inspired by Taco Bell's classic hot sauce packets. Among the items in the collection are a carry-on suitcase, a duffle bag, a cross-body bag and five-piece packing cube set.

Taco Bell notes in their press release on the collection, "Taco Bell Fire Tier Rewards members will score early access to a selection of products on April 23, along with CALPAK VITs (Very Important Travelers) on April 25. On April 26, the new collection will be available to all US consumers."

Taco Bell added it is also "...releasing a summer collection on Taco Shop on May 3, while supplies last. This includes new travel-inspired items like FIRE!, HOT! and MILD! luggage tags and passport holders, along with the return of fan-favorites for warmer weather like sauce packet beach towels and koozies."

FIRE! carry on suitcase

"Compact enough to effortlessly slide into the overhead compartment, FIRE! is the perfect rolling cabin-sized companion. Soft-sided with a zippered front pocket, 360-degree spinner wheels and a removable zippered pouch, this spicy little number has all travel needs covered. It makes it easy as ever to be good to go from TSA to taxi with a TSA-accepted lock, plus a cushioned top and side handles."

HOT! duffel bag

"The must-have duffel bag is both lightweight and spacious. With a convenient zippered front pocket, large bottom compartment (the best place to pack your shoes!) and removable crossbody strap, the new HOT! Duffel Bag was made to make last-minute trips all the easier. The luggage sleeve is perfect for sliding onto a suitcase handle to stack packing gear, and its removable pouch and interior mesh pockets make organization a breeze."

DIABLO! cross-body bag

"Not your average crossbody, this bag is the perfect on the go partner. With zippered front and interior pockets and an adjustable shoulder strap, this bag makes any travel destination better."

MILD! 5-piece packing cube set

"Pack smarter with travel pouches that make staying organized all the more fulfilling. The set comes with one large, one medium and two smalls — plus a water-resistant envelope for all important essentials. A breathable mesh top, personal ID tag and back zippered pocket help seal the deal."
