Travel Passport Wallet
I throw these on for any flight above like 3 hours and they help so much with swelling and blood flow! Highly recommend, especially with the risk of blood clots on airplanes.
Reminder to get up, move around, and stretch while traveling! And hydrate hydrate hydrate!
Compression Socks
Hear me out!! Not only is this a great everyday bag that goes with every outfit, I also use it for every single flight. I value having foot space, so instead of putting my carry-on underneath the seat in front of me, I have began taking things out li...
**I have never had an issue with having too many bags, but if I get nervous sometimes I will leave some space in my carry-on bag to store it until I board or literally just put my bag on underneath a sweatshirt or jacket until I am physically on the ...
Medium Nylon Crescent Bag Black
Owala ily! Water bottles in the airport are so expensive, but it is key to hydrate while traveling so bringing a water bottle from home is always essential! I bring my 24 oz Owala with me when I travel, because it fits nicely in the pocket of my trav...
FreeSip® Water Bottle
I love to fill this with all of my makeup, skincare, hair care, contact lenses, etc in one nice square instead of in various pouches! And if you happen to not shut a product closely enough and it leaks inside, it won't leak through to any of the rest...
Toiletry Bags
This power bank is a recent purchase that I have since incorporated into my day-to-day essentials because I love it so much! I especially appreciate that it's small and NOT HEAVY

HOKA® Shoes
Motion sickness girlies rise up…I especially need this when it comes to ubers and taxis. It doesn't matter the city or country, I get so motion sick if I don't take these. Don't let motion sickness stop you from enjoying things!!
Dramamine®
I began using these in the last year because it was so common for me to get sick from the airport or flying! I like the raspberry flavor!!

I don't let travel stop me from bringing a soap bar with me! Simply let it dry out before putting it in your toiletry bag and you are good to go!

Fave travel size products!
My fave everyday perfume! I have this in a travel size and bring it everywhere with me.
Note: Always be considerate of those around you while traveling in a tight space. Although many of us love perfumes and scented products, others may have allergies or difficulty around scented products :)

This product can be pricey in full-size form, so I decided to go with the travel size, and it has lasted me so long!

If you are a chronic over-packer like me and don't want to pay for overweight fees at the airport, this little gadget allows you to weigh and re-organize if needed at home!
Best Luggage Scales
Genuinely changed my life LOL
These have never failed to help me maximize space, while allowing me to bring everything I wanted! I even use these for my backpack, especially when flying budget airlines.
Tips:
Organize certain types of clothes in different cubes to make it easier once you arrive to your destination (Ex: I use the largest one for pants, the smallest one for socks and underwear)
I always roll my clothes, and stuff socks/underwear in shoes if I really want to save space!
Packing Cubes
I added this to my luggage this summer for international travel! When going on trips abroad, I already KNOW I am gonna have a full suitcase or even 2 on the way home, so having a carry-on to slip over the handle of my big suitcase made my life so muc...
Highlights:
-sleeve to slip over the handle of a suitcase for easy transportation
pocket on the outside to store laptop/iPad
-spacious inside with multiple pockets, and a laptop/iPad pocket
-2 soft handles or long strap to carry
CALPAK Luka Duffel Bag
I have a medium and large suitcase set from Calpak that has been all over the world with me for years now! I always aim for a hard-shell case, in case of any weather, unexpected leaks from other luggage, and to protect against beg bugs. When I got th...
Suitcase Sets
My tried and true backpack for years! It's great for domestic and international travel, or even if you want to use it everyday for office commutes!
Tips:
The bottom compartment is the perfect size for a pair of shoes, or a makeup pouch!
