When I’m traveling, there are a few specific “needs” that I plan for
First things first: The bag. Your closest companion and in-flight BFF.Lately, I’ve been using my favorite bag. It’s big — not baggy — holds up well and fits everything I like to carry.
Here’s what’s in my bag when I travel:
Essentials:
- Phone, keys, wallet.
- More specifically: To organize receipts, cash and cards.
- Cute and colorful passport holder.
Electronics:
Because, well, duh.
- Tablet or iPad.
- Macbook (with a protective).
- Mophie charger and/or iPhone 6s.
- For long flights, a Brookstone, power bank.
- headphones,
- If I’m bringing my cameras: DSLR. 700D
- For international travel, functional adapter
.Comfort:
- A cozy, reversible scarf or snood.
- Sunglasses: Whether they’re aviators or classics, sunnies are essential.
- I travel wearing my bulkiest shoes, so I pack a pair of foldable flats, too.
- For long flights: extra socks, an eye mask, memory foam travel pillow and travel blanket
.Beauty & make-up musts:
Because sunglasses only hide so much — and you never know who you’ll meet…
- Chapstick and/or lip ice lip balm
- Origins GinZing refreshing eye cream
- browbar by w7,
- Toothbrush and mini toothpaste
- gentle cleansing wipes
- organikare Turmeric body butter — my favorite!
- olive-oil.
- Make-up musts: Tinted moisturizer, NARS face, cheek & eye palette and mascara.
- lipstick & lip gloss by professional makeup collection, which are ideal for on-the-go touch-ups.
- perfume
- NARS matte lip pencils — I am always wearing “Never Say Never.”
Health:
Sometimes traveling places are fucking disgusting. As a result, I need hand sanitizer and tissues to go — always.
- Aspirin
- Vitamins
- Hand sanitizer
- Emerge-C packets
- Tissues (I’ve been using Puffs Purse Packs and SoftPacks — love both).
- Tampons/ pads, band-aids and Visine are also good to have.
Sustenance:
- Water bottle: I carry one with me and fill it once I’m through security.
- Fruit and produce if I’m traveling domestically. You can’t bring those across the border, though. (I’ve learned the hard way.)
- Nourish Snacks: I’ve blogged about these portion-control snack packs before, and with good reason. Each is 200 calories (or less) and made with all-natural, non-GMO ingredients.
Miscellaneous:
Here are some nice-to-haves:
- Umbrella
- Laundry bag
Of course, we all have different needs and travel styles. Your list probably varies based on your destination, length of travel and the like.
Regardless, though I hope you found this helpful.
What’s one essential item that’s got a guaranteed spot on your packing list? let me know.
