Personal bag necessities
My preferred long haul/international /longer trips personal item bag. I prefer a bag over backpack. The way things fit works better for me. This is popular for a reason! I wish there wasn’t a built in shoe bag and some individual pockets the from zip...
Luka Duffel
I can’t relax if I don’t wipe down my seat on airplane. I hardly ever get sick and when I do I can always track it back to post travel. You never know who was sitting in that seat before you. You don’t want their germs!
Individual Sanitizing Hand Wipes
If you’re messy. You need these when travel. I wish I didn’t need them, but I do! I buy them in bulk and always pack quite a few. So handy!
Stain Remover Wipes
We all know a power bank is a travel essential. I love this one because it holds a charge for multiple recharges of your devices and the key ring makes it simple to hook up to your personal item, so it’s always within easy reach on the plane!
Portable Charger on keyring
This little thing comes in really handy. Sometimes, your charger stops working and sometimes you need a different adapter and this tiny guy has you covered. I keep one in my work bag too. The cord is short, but when you’re in a bind something is bett...
USB Adapter
I love to sleep on a plane and noise cancelling headphones really elevate that experience. There are great options on the market! Costco always great deals on Bose! I definitely recommendation taking advantage because they are a great choice!
Noise Canceling Headphones
A pouch hates to see me coming. Since I use a bag most of the time as a personal item…I can’t stand when it comes an abyss of things free flowing and I’m digging around. There are never enough pockets/compartments for my liking in any bag I’ve found....
Hard Shell Zipper Cases
Just a little added protection against the recycled air on the plane. My throat always gets so dry and that can make me cough too, so this helps address all of those things.
Propolis Throat Spray by Beekeeper's Naturals
Carry on vibing
One European trip with a checked size bag was enough to know I would like to never do it again. I am also learning something new to improve my carry on game. Here is what I have so far!
After running through a couple cheaper carry on options and eyeballing the carry on my friends all had. I waited for a sale and finally bought an away bag. It is all the things everyone says it is. It is insane how much I can fit in it. And when I in...
The Bigger Carry-On
It took me awhile to become a compression cube believer, but I’ve been converted. Takes a little practice to get the right technique to maximum. But as a chronic overpacker. These are a game changer and I they are so vibrant and fun, so my suitcase l...
Compression Packing Cubes
I have gone through so many make up bags because I just end up digging through trying to find what I need and it drives me crazy. FINALLY, this one is great for me! It has compartments and because it opens up…it’s so much easier to see and grab what ...
Travel Makeup Bag
I really wanted the well known brand of this style case, but I just couldn’t justify the cost even though I wanted it SO bad. After searching around for something similar, I decided to try one. It’s a good quality, keeps things organized, and surpris...
Small Dual Compartment Makeup Bag
I prefer these over the plastic bottles because you can label what is in them and they hold just as much and take up less space and then once they are empty they just lay flat.
18 Pack Travel Pouches for Toiletries
I overpack every single time. Any space I can save is a win. This is so much thinner than most of the ones you’ll find. I almost didn’t get it because I already had a bulky one. But glad I did, it fits so nicely in my personal item bag.
Travel Adapter
I unfortunately can longer sleep without a sound machine. I used to play YouTube on my phone when I was traveling, but this is SO much better. The speaker is so good! Great sound quality and the volume on that little speaker is impressive. It never l...
Tiny Noise Sound Machine
The voltage converter is a cumbersome little attachment. After a couple EU trips, I decided to opt for a multi attachment dual voltage hair tool for all travel to make life easier. For a carry on, I pick which attachments I’ll use. It’s too bulky to ...
Dual Voltage Hair tool
I never even thought to look for a case, but if you’re traveling with the best lil noise machine. It’s a nice addition for organization and prevents the button from being activated in your bag!
Carrying Case for Babelio White Noise Machine
Favorite travel day fits
Comfort is key! These are lightweight and breathable. They don’t have pockets, so I like to pair them with a comfy tee and an oversized jean jacket. Some might say the perfect travel uniform.
High Waisted Crossover Flare Legging
There’s something about a wider leg that just feels elevated. My favorite way to wear is with a tank top and a cardigan. They are soft, stretchy, and they have pockets.
XTRA High Waisted Trouser
These have a barrel shape, so they fit baggy, but are flattering. Comfortable obviously. My favorite for a more casual look on a shorter flight. Mostly pair with hoodie or a cropped tee.
Waffle Jogger
I started using my lululemon Amex credits on essentials and these crew socks are so nice. If I’m hoping on a shorter flight. I love these.
Unisex Daily Essential Crew Socks 3 Pack
Hair care
My curls love water and I love this little fine mist water bottle when I travel. It’s not overly bulky and you travel with it empty in your carry on.
Small Travel Spray Bottle - Ultra Fine Mist
Whatever your favorite mousse is. Put it in here and take in your carry on! The travel sized branded ones are always so short and fat taking up more space than desired. These fit nicely!
2 Pack Foam Pump Bottle Travel
I love this lightweight leave in and it smells so good. It’s small, but enough to get me through a 2 weeks trip.
2.0 oz Leave In Conditioner
Adjustable satin lined shower cap is a MUST when traveling and every day life!
Aquior Shower Cap
Bring at least large scarf. It multi use and comes in so handy to tie up your hair on the plane and just a cute easy and fast hairstyle.
Large Head Scarf
Clothing
I love the bra free collection from Abercrombie. I invested in the basic neutrals in a few different styles. They make the perfect base for maximizing outfit options in your carry on.
