I travel A LOT, and after years of flights, adventures, packing struggles, and figuring out what’s actually worth bringing, I’ve learned which travel essentials I genuinely rely on. I put together my personal list of tried-and-true favorites from packing must-haves and flight essentials to things I use on adventures around the world. These are the products, gear, and little travel finds that have made my trips easier, more comfortable, and a whole lot more enjoyable. If it comes with me on my travels, there’s probably a reason it made the list. Consider this my personal travel cheat sheet for packing smarter and being ready for whatever adventure comes next!

I loved burgundy before it became the color of 2026. 🍷 From burgundy fashion and accessories to beauty and lifestyle finds, here are all my favorite burgundy-colored must-haves for anyone who loves this timeless, rich shade as much as I do.

I have naturally curly hair, but I straighten it practically every day so keeping it healthy, smooth, and protected from heat is a MUST. These are the hair products I actually use to help protect, strengthen, hydrate, and keep my hair looking good despite all the heat styling.

Renting a car on vacation? 🚗✈️ After a rental-car break-in in Chile left us without our luggage, MacBook, hair tools and more, I have a VERY different approach to road-trip essentials. These are the things I acturecommend having with you when you're traveling by rental car from trackers and luggage essentials to tech, organization and little things that can make a big difference when you're miles from home. Because “we'll only be five minutes” is apparently not a security strategy. Save this list before your next road trip!

Because airplanes, airports, hotel rooms, and rental cars can be… questionable. 😂 These are the things I bring to keep my travel world a little cleaner and more comfortable.

Obsessed with your fur babies? Same! 🐶🐱 From personalized gifts to everyday favorites featuring my furbaby’s face, here are all the adorable, custom pet finds I’ve gotten and love. Perfect for fellow pet parents who want to show off their four-legged besties!

Planning a glacier hike in Iceland? I’ve been glacier hiking in Iceland and put together the things I’d recommend having with you for the experience—from what to wear and pack to the little essentials that can make a cold, wet, and adventurous day much more comfortable. This is my personal list of glacier hiking essentials and what I’d pack before heading out onto the ice. Iceland’s weather can change quickly, so being prepared is key!

My husband doesn’t just buy things—he researches the heck out of them! Here’s a roundup of his tried-and-true favorites, carefully researched and husband-approved.
