Lightweight and easy to layer with skincare or makeup, which makes it one of those sunscreens I’d happily bring for a full day of exploring.

Easy to forget but definitely worth packing. Your lips need sun protection too, especially when you’re spending the day at the beach or outdoors.
Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 - Jack Black

A gentle face cleanser to pack for a Bali vacation, especially if your skin feels sweaty after a full day outside. It’s a simple addition to a travel skincare routine for hot and humid weather.
Hydrating Facial Cleanser

My go-to sunscreen for sunny destinations. I’d pack this for Bali because it feels lightweight enough for long days outside without making my skin feel too heavy.

One of those things you’ll be glad you packed once you’re around the beach, boat, or pool. Perfect for keeping your phone, wallet, and other small essentials away from water and sand.

TRAVEL TECH

I never want to be halfway through a day of exploring with a dying phone. A reliable power bank is especially useful when you’re using Google Maps, taking photos, booking rides, and checking tickets all day.
Anker Nano Power Bank (5K, MagGo, Slim)

Worth bringing if you’re traveling from a country with a different plug type. I like having one universal adapter instead of trying to figure out which one I’ll need for every trip.
Epicka Tech

A small travel essential that gives me extra peace of mind, especially when checking luggage or moving between airports, hotels, and different destinations.
