As a flight attendant for five years I’ve tried things that work, and things that don’t. This is a list of things i absolutely cannot travel without from hygiene to packing xo
A portable floss pick!!! I’m huge on flossing lately and I don’t go anywhere without my floss pick. It’s small and doesn’t take up much space and holds a charge GREAT! Even mix in a little mouth wash with the water and it’s even better.
Portable Floss Pik
THESE!!!!!! Had them for almost two years now and only one has started to show some wear and tear. There are so many sizes too that I can mix match them as needed. Also a variety of colors but I stuck with the pink 🩷
Packing Cubes
These are great especially because you never know what’s gonna hit you and when. Sometimes I’ve woken up with a cold, a fever, you name it. This pack covers a huge variety of what I need.
Travel Size Medicine Packets
Obviously this is a little too big to carry around so what I do is take a couple travel sized ones and pour them into there. It’s great for just freshening up your clothes when needed and I even add a little fabric sanitizer into mine.
Clothes Freshener Spray
IYKYK these are a life saver! Definitely go for one with a furry outside though. That’s the only thing I wish I could change about mine. When mine gives out I’ll definitely get one with a softer outside texture.
Heating Pad Water
Travel size lint roller for on the go???? YES.
Travel Lint Roller
A travel size sound machine. Saves my phone battery and is so compact I can carry it in my smaller bag or even clip it onto the outside of my bag.
Portable Travel Sound Machines
Obviously these are a need and it’s just even better that it’s pink hehe
