After reflecting on my travels these past couple of months I realized there are things I could leave behind and some things I really do need to make my wanderlust life easier. I get asked all the time what my top must have’s are so here they are. These six essentials are a must for myself and I think would be very much appreciated by you too. If you are traveling for a 15 plus hours on a plane or even a two hour flight…these will be your babies every time you get on that transit. *Note: Click the link to buy 🙂
If you don’t already know, now you know. The away bags are nothing like you’ve ever had before. They are long lasting, durable, stylish and the CEO of the company is a total inspiring boss babe. Once you’ve owned one of these, you will never go back. I have had lots of experience with different travel bags and different brands and nothing compares to these. Do yourself a favor and get you one. You’ll love me forever. 😉
I definitely love a good neck pillow but they are hard to come by. Im a huge fan of this travel set because it’s lightweight, silk and it’s easy on the hair and skin. These neck pillows get pretty dirty traveling and being put on not so clean spaces but Calpak makes these easy to clean as well. Let’s also mention that it’s Rose Gold which I’m a huge sucker for. Because it’s silk, it will also feel semi cool on your skin. Probably a bit pricier than usual but it’s totally worth it.
Wherever you may travel to you need some closed toed comfy sneakers. You need a pair that will go with almost anything in your closet and everything that you will be packing. My Stanley Smith’s are actually one of my all time favorite travel staples because they are comfortable AF, stylish and they can be dressed up or down. You can wear them with jeans, shorts or even dresses. Walk or run all day in them. They are my favorites for 4 years now and probably for another 4 too. Pretty sure they be in style for years to come.
Packing Cubes. What a traveling life saver. I literally could have not survived traveling for six months with my backpack without these things. You can literally fill up one cube with a weeks wardrobe and more. Every single person who travels at least once a year needs these. They save space, helped you stay organized and they’re cute as hell. Boys, there are also some for you on Amazon. I got you. 😉 Anndddd the breathable mesh front lets you easily identify what’s inside.
Foam Roller Water Bottle | Mobot
I have no words for this water bottle. We all know the importance of staying hydrated but also what’s better than staying hydrated and getting your muscles and body in tune for your next workout. This baby does it all. The reason why I love this so much is also because after a couple of hours traveling you want to stretch out and get your body back to normal. What’s better than to have access to a foam roller at all times?! The smaller diameter is perfect to carry with you as it fits most backpack sleeves and gym equipment. It’s one of my all time favorite things at the moment. Get yourself one.
We all know that moment when you finally get to your destination and all your clothes are wrinkled and then you realize the Airbnb doesn’t have an iron or the hotel you’re at has one but then you have to get out the iron board, get a table for the iron, etc, etc. We don’t have time for that! 🙂 I love my Sunbeam mini steamer because it doesn’t take up much space in my luggage and it works so damn good. You save time, energy and space. If you don’t have one already please invest in one. It’s the best $25 dollar purchase you’ll ever make. You’re welcome.
Much love always, x
