Noise Cancelling Headphones

Whether you're working during transit, tuning into an important meeting, or taking a moment for some serious R&R, headphones are a must have for every entrepreneur's travel list. Take a look at my round up of some of the best noise cancelling headphones on the market. I made sure to include a variety of different styles, colors, and tech features that will ma...

When traveling, I'm 100% for choosing items that are an asset to my trip and are complementary to my brand and personal style. 

Which is why I selected this particular style of Beats headphones. 

Not only do these headphones have a rich and immersive sound, but they have three different sound profiles to enhance your listening experience (which I love for listening to music, when trying to quiet my mind, or for podcasts to make sure I don't m...

If you're looking for a all in one headphone that's aesthetically pleasing, functional, and comfortable then I would recommend the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Noise Cancelling Headphones.

These headphones act as an assistant with an on/off head detection feature and a disconnect feature when you lay them flat. Additionally, they have an AI based background noise suppression feature for amazingly clear calls (making meetings and client...

If you're looking for headphones that offer a variety of captivating colors AND overdeliver on functionality, then I highly recommend investing in the Bose QuietComfort Headphones.

These headphones are more affordable than the Bose Ultra Wireless Headphones (located on the left), but they eliminate distractions just as well!

I personally like this pair because it focuses solely on noise cancellation whereas the upgraded version of these headphones focus on all parts of the hands free listening experience.

I feel like entrepreneurs that work in the music industry would benefit the most from these headphones because they allow you to fully immerse yourself in the music and become one with the vocals/beat.

If you're like me and adore headphones that offer a multipoint connection for up to 3 devices, then I think you'll want to consider these Reference Class earbuds for your upcoming trip.

If that's not enough, in addition to the multipoint connection, these headphones offer voice focus AI technology that brings you reduced noise reduction not only during speaking, when listening as well.

Although headphones are extremely trendy again, there are some people that still love and enjoy a good earbud.

I'm not really an earbud user, but I do like these Pi8 ones from Bowers & Wilkins due to their captivating design and crystal clear call quality.

If you're an entrepreneur with a more active lifestyle then I found the perfect pair of compact headphones for you. 

I think you'll enjoy these Devialet Gemini Wireless headphones because they are water and sweat resistant to any light splashes (just please keep in mind that you can't submerge them in water). 

Additionally, they have 22 hours of battery life making them perfect for long workouts, creating fitness content, and taking calls in between your busy schedule.

If you're looking for a more budget friendly option for headphones, then I recommend the JBL Live Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones.

Although this brand isn't as highly recommended as Bose, Sony, and Beats, it can still keep up with them in terms of quality and functionality. 

I like pretty much everything about these headphones (the beautiful aesthetic at an affordable price point and the high resolution audio that makes playlists and podcast feel more engaging), but my absolute favorite feature is the app controls that c... 

So having the option to make small, simple tweaks to my earcups make me want to rush and add this to my cart!

If you have a goal of spending less than $100 on headphones but you still want a quality listening experience, then these headphones by JBL would be my recommendation.

They have an extensive battery life giving you up to 76 hours of uninterrupted listening time and they come with a detachable cable  so you can continue listening to music if your battery runs out. 

What's more is you can customize your listening experience by downloading the JBL Headphones app (it's free!). 

If that's not enough, these headphones let you experience multipoint connectivity allowing you to switch between your phone and tablet without missing a beat (surely you got the pun?). 

It's almost hard to believe that you can get all of these amazing features and a pretty nice headphone design for under $100. I encourage you to run and purchase these!

If you're looking to spend a pretty penny on a pair of headphones, then I recommend these Flagship Nose Cancelling headphones by Bowers & Wilkins.

I love them for their luxury and vintage look, but I think you'll love them for their premium materials, smart features, and exceptional performance.

Garment Care Traveling Essentials

If you're an entrepreneur that takes frequent business trips that require you to stay somewhere for months or weeks at a time, then I highly recommend packing a full size bottle of laundry detergent to take with you on your work trip. 

Doing so ensures that you have access to clean clothing around the clock and that you're prepared in case of an emergency (delayed/canceled flights, an unexpected blackout, identity theft, etc.). 

This specific detergent is one that I personally love and use daily. It works wonders for sensitive skin, contains no harmful chemicals, and this particular scent gives your clothing the crisp and comforting scent of freshly laundered linens (no wond...

Whether it's a weekend trip, overnight trip, or you have plans to be gone for an extended period time, don't forget to pack laundry detergent. 

Laundry detergent is good to have on hand for emergency situations. In a time where we're experiencing an uptick in power outages, cancelled and delayed flights, and uncertainty of natural disasters happening, it's important to have some detergent on...

Packing laundry detergent can also help save on bag fees (one quick wash on your trip instantly restores outfits reducing how many garments you need to bring).

If you're planning on taking a business trip where you plan to stay somewhere for a pretty lengthy amount of time, then I recommend bringing a full size bottle of laundry detergent along with you.

Bringing along a full size bottle of laundry detergent will not only ensure that your packed luggage is fresh at all times, but it's also going to ensure that you're staying consistent with your signature scent. 

Many times we're much more consistent with our signature scent when we're in the comfort of our home state, but when we venture out to a new country or state, it can be tricky to be maintain the consistency of that signature scent because it becomes ... 

Having a bottle of laundry detergent in your luggage makes being consistent a little bit easier because you can refresh your clothes whenever you need to and keep that signature scent active. 

As I stated with the Fresh Linen scent, I absolutely adore this brand and French Rose is the signature scent that I personally use for my clothing. I highly recommend it (or the other scents on this list) if you're going on a trip that requires you t...

As an entrepreneur you know (or should know) how important it is to look immaculate whenever you step out of your hotel room. After all, you never know when you'll meet your next client, business partner, or record content, so you need to be ready at...

That's why it's essential to travel with a bottle of stain remover. Doing so allows you to tackle stains as soon as they happen which increases your chances of getting the stain gone as quickly as possible. That way you won't have to push content day...

I personally love this stain remover because it's the perfect size for traveling, it's toxin free, and it gives you professional results while on the go (I would highly recommend having a washer and dryer available to you for peak results though!).

Sometimes getting to a washing machine isn't always feasible on a trip and that's why it's always wise to pack fabric refresher (bonus points if it's sustainable and made with natural ingredients!). 

As you can probably gather from the name, fabric refreshers can be used to refresh your clothing in a pinch so that you're smelling fresh for every client meeting and event.

Fabric refreshers also buy you time until you're able to get to washer and dryer and thoroughly wash your clothes.

Ditch packing the lint roller and opt for a durable clothing brush for your trips instead.  

Clothing brushes will lift hair and dirt without leaving behind sticky residue. Plus, you don't have to worry about replacing or running out of adhesive sheets during the trip because a clothing brush is reusable and only requires a deep clean every 1-3 months (making it perfect for short and long term trips). 

I highly recommend it if you own a lot of quality/expensive fabrics, suits, blazers, co-ords, etc. (as this garment care tool will last a lifetime with the proper care!).

One of the most underrated things to pack for a trip is clothing tape. 

Clothing tape is the perfect way to prevent a wardrobe malfunction because it: firmly secures strapless tops and plunging necklines, closes gaps between buttons, and hides visible bra straps.  

Not to mention it can be a short term solution if you need to hem something quickly and it's damage free because it leaves no holes or residue on delicate/quality fabrics. 

If I had to rank this list clothing tape would easily be in the top 5 products. It's something that male and female entrepreneurs need.

Fabric shavers are a useful tool to have in your luggage especially if you're traveling in the fall/winter. 

We all know how annoying (and unsightly) clothing pills can be, but the good news is that you can quickly tackle them before you make any type of public appearance (as long as you pack your fabric shaver!).

I personally like this shaver because it's electric (which saves so much time), it's portable (meaning it will take up little to no space in your luggage), and it comes with six different blades to maximize efficiency (that just screams less time add...
