Summer is in full swing, and travel is ON. IIn this episode, I’m sharing my key carry-on essentials-- matter your destination, these carry-on travel winners will be everything you need for road trips, staycations, long weekends, and more!
1:13 - Calpak Packing Cubes 5-Piece Set - This 5-piece travel cube set is essential for staying organized and keeping track of your items during a trip. I use this set for shoe storage, important document storage, outfit storage, and so much more. I even use a separate cube for technology pieces—chargers, cords, external hard drives, etc. These travel packing cubes help you visualize where your items are, so you don’t have to go ripping through your bag in search of a small item.
2:02 - Saint James Breton Striped Shirt - The Minquiers striped shirt is lightweight, versatile, and embodies the ideal French vacay state of mind. I love this top because it’s a masculine fit in the waist and hips, but the full-length sleeves make it feel perfect for travel. It’s very chic and pairs perfectly with shorts, straight-leg denim, skirts, anything! It’s great to pack in your carry-on bag for whatever the days (and nights!) throw your way.
3:00 - Cadence Capsules - The Cadence travel toiletry capsules are 100% TSA compliant, leak-proof and non-absorbent containers. They can hold everything from skincare to makeup, from medicine to accessories. These capsules let you bring your personal essentials on the go with you, effortlessly. They’re magnetic, meaning you can line them up and put them on a countertop. I use the Cadence capsules to store things like serums, vitamins, earrings, and critical medications whilst traveling.
4:05 - Saje Natural Wellness Pocket Farmacy Oil Blend Kit - This is a collection of 5 relieving oil roll-ons of the best-smelling scents including Peppermint Halo, Fortify, Gutzy, Stress Release, and Pain Release. When I’m traveling in TSA queues, it can be stressful. So I just apply a swipe of one of my Pocket Farmacy faves to my head and a swipe inside my face mask for an instant spa moment. I keep these oil blends in my carry-on at all times for my travels for an instant, natural relief.
5:30 - Snacks! Bring your own snacks! Don’t get caught paying $9 for pretzels and $14 for a dry sandwich at the airport. Make sure you have snacks as part of your travel on essentials because hanger and planes don’t mix.
6:00 - A book and a journal - Make sure you have at least one book or magazine in your carry-on at all times. Travel with a book you’ll actually WANT to read. I recommend the Leuchtturm 1917 journals from Paper Source.
