Travel season is coming. I am sure many of you are excited to take some time off. Going away for a little while is refreshing, but there are limits on what you can take. So we need to prioritize. Here, I share the top 10 things I always bring on trips.
Silk Sleep Mask
I have been using Slip products for several years now; a pillowcase, scrunchies, Silk Wash, etc. And I always take Slip Silk Sleep Mask when traveling. Whether on an airplane or in hotels, wearing this Sleep Mask helps me relax and sleep. It is a definite must-have for me!
Eye Patches
I love CHANEL LE LIFT Firming – Anti-Wrinkle Flash Eye Revitalizer, and I always have them on my vanity. These eye masks are your best friend when you oversleep, under-sleep, or when your hormones make you feel not quite like yourself. So, of course, I need to take a few of them with me!
Makeup Remover Wipes
Another beauty item I always take for trips is this Bioderma Sensibio H2O Wipes. As I said previously, I love a good double cleanse, but during travels, I might be out way too late or tired at night, so the cleansing wipes come in handy. Also, unlike other makeup removers or cleansers, wipes are TSA-friendly, which is a big plus (we beauty lovers always need to be smart about those liquid limits).
Universal Portable Diffuser
I know many universal diffuser attachments these days, and I hear they are great. However, I stick with this old-school favorite; Hot Sock The Ultralight Diffuser. It takes no room in my bag, and I love that.
Adaptogens
If you have read my Sun Potion article, you already know my love for adaptogens. For traveling, I use these Moon Juice Moon Dust Sachets for convenience because they are mess free and pre-mixed.
Eyedrops
Ever since I got my Lasik surgery done several years ago, I have been a regular artificial tear user. I love SYSTANE® ULTRA Preservative-Free Eye Drops. This brand and this formula have been working well for me, so I do not take a chance of not having the same ones, just like prescribed meds.
Bandages
Because I tend to walk more than usual during trips, I can get blisters. I like BAND-AID® HYDRO SEAL® because the built-in cushion comforts me while protecting my feet. I also take other bandages for little injuries. And I make sure to include my favorite Nexcare™ Waterproof Bandages. They are the best waterproof bandages that I have tried!
Mini Sewing Kit
I shared this MUJI Portable Sewing Set in my previous MUJI article, but this little sewing kit would save your life. When you are attending someone’s destination wedding, you would not want any dress malfunctions!
Resealable Bags
I am obsessed with this organizer… and like everything packed in a dedicated pouch, case, or resealable bag. I like these The Container Store Reclosable Bags or any sizes I find that are not in my Amazon collection. Not only do I always take the organizer with me, but I also bring extras just in case (they do come in handy in many ways, believe me!).
Bag Tracker
Nothing is worse than losing your luggage, so we use Apple AirTag for extra insurance. We also use it to track our son when he wants to leave our hotel room to get a snack or go to the lobby alone for whatever reason.
These are my must-haves for travel! What are the things you always take with you? Are they similar to the ones on my list?? Please let us know if you have anything else that we should know about and where to find them. We always love a good recommendation!!
