The carry-on that started a revolution in travel luggage. Hardshell, lightweight, TSA-approved lock, and the smoothest spinner wheels I have ever used. It glides through airports. I have used mine for years and it looks brand new.
The Carry-On in Jet Black | Away
For trips longer than four days when the standard carry-on is not quite enough. Still cabin-sized for most airlines, still has the built-in battery and TSA lock. The expansion zipper adds the extra inch you need without checking a bag. This is for the girlies who take 4 pairs of shoes and 10 outs fits for a 4 day trip. You know who you are. Own it proudly ladies!
The Bigger Carry-On in Jet Black | Away
These changed the packing game for me and how I pack completely. Compression cubes compress clothing to half the size and keep everything organized by category. I fit what used to take a checked bag into a carry-on using these. Non-negotiable for eve...
Compression Packing Cubes for Travel | Eagle Creek
The most stylish carry-on personal item available. It fits under every airline seat I have tried, expands when needed, and the organization inside is genuinely brilliant. I use this for weekend trips and as my personal item on longer flights. As a Private Family Assistant/Newborn Care Specialist, I can throw the baby's favorite things in with no problem.

MATEIN Carry On Expandable Travel Backpack 40L
The pillow that actually lets you sleep upright on a flight. It wraps around your neck and holds your head in a supported position; not the horseshoe shape that does nothing. I have arrived at long-haul destinations actually rested because of this.
Trtl Travel Neck Pillow
Being a frequent flyer, you get to learn the airplane temp is not always ideal. Plus, if you're on a long flight, a little shut eye is going to be necessary; that's where the EverSnug Travel Blanket/Pillow comes in. Long gone are the days when the airlines gave you a blanket. The blanket is so soft and it also dubs as a pillow. Don't worry about squeezing it into your luggage, you can attach it on to the handle of your luggage. So convenient. It comes in multiple colors. Get your favorite one.
EverSnug Travel Blanket & Pillow - Light Pink
Complete blackout and zero pressure on the eyes. The silk is gentle enough that I wake up without the indent marks cheaper masks leave. I use this on every flight and every hotel stay where the blackout curtains do not quite work. A must have for sure.
SLEEP MASKS - Slip
I bring this for hotel stays. Hotel pillowcases are rough on hair and skin. Rolling up a silk pillowcase takes almost no space and the difference in how my hair and skin feel after a full night on silk versus cotton is significant. Yes, this is crucial.
Slip® - Anti Aging. Anti Sleep Crease. Anti Bed Head.™
This is on my festival must haves list and for good reason. The airlines will not allow you to bring in bottles of water, but you can get filtered waater at most of the airports for free. If you ask nicely, one of the restaurants will give you ice orr you can carry your coffee or favorite tea. It comes in different sizes and colors. I really don't leave home without it.

It comes in a few colors, but this is my favorite and when I start to get this together, I instantly get excited because I know I'll be traveling. Enjoy!

I could not complete my list without GUM! Yes, the savior of take off and landing. I am so uncomfortable when my ears get clogged up from the altitude change. I use the Neuro Energy & Focus Gum. It's energy free, packeted with benefits and taste great. I love the peppermint flavor.
Neuro Energy & Focus Gum - 40mg Caffeine, L-Theanine, B Vitamins, Sugar Free, Vegan, Peppermint - 90ct
The noise cancelling on these is so good it makes the middle seat bearable. I put them on at the gate and I do not hear the engine, the crying babies, or the person next to me. The best travel investment I have made in years.
WH-1000XM5 | Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Sony UK
One in every bag, one on my keys, one in my passport holder. Since I started using AirTags I have never lost luggage. I tracked a delayed bag from my phone before the airline even knew where it was. Essential for every traveler. I like it for little kids as well.

I add a few drops of lavender oil and place this on the hotel nightstand. It transforms any generic hotel room into a space that feels calm and familiar. Better sleep in unfamiliar environments every time. I love it. I'm definitely a smell girlie.
