Travel Essentials Guide | Luggage
Beis Luggage
This brand of monochromatic stylish luggage is sure to turn heads in the airport. They are great for men and women and come in many colors and styles. Beis even has a line of children’s luggage now that is so adorable. These luggage pieces are trendy, stylish, but also functional and some of the best quality pieces I have ever owned (and I have tried a lot of suitcases) My favorite pieces from them are their rolling suitcases. I have them in all sizes and I never carry any other suitcase now. They come with a waterproof pouch on the inside for wet items, a laundry bag, coded lock, padded handle, and they even have a built in scale in the handle that will let you know if your bag is overweight. These luggage pieces are worth every penny.
Keep scrolling for my favorite pieces.
Calpak Luka Duffel
I am obsessed with this Calpak Luka Duffel. I have been carrying this religiously for almost 2 years now. It is great to use on flights because it fits under the seat which means it can be used as your personal item. The fabric is a slicky, waterproof fabric that makes for easy cleaning. It has trolley pass through to slide over the handle of your rolling bag. It also has a zip shoe compartment on the bottom of the bag. This bag holds a ton. I typically put my laptop, makeup, purse, headphones and other airplane essentials in the bag, along with a change of clothes, and it holds it all without any issue. The quality is fantastic. I have put this bag through the wringer and it still looks brand new.
The duffel comes in a bunch of amazing colors and they are always coming out with new ones. There is even a metallic gold and silver now.
Aerotrunk Packing Cubes
All packing cubes are not created equal, and I mean that. I have tried so many packing cubes and these compression cubes by Aerotrunk are the best. The are sturdy, great quality thick fabric and not flimsy. They compress down to help save space when packing. Honestly, when I get to my destination, I leave most of my clothes in them and they act as a little drawer and help keep my hotel room organized.
Travel Essentials Guide | Toiletry Bags
I have a few favorite toiletry bags, so I am going to share my top 3 toiletry bags and why I love them.
Calpak Toiletry Bag
I love this Calpak toiletry bag because it doubles as a two in one. You can put makeup on one side and hair and other toiletry products on the other side. The bag is great because it zips all of the way around and lays flat on the counter which I love.
Kenz Kustomz Train Case
I love a train case because I find the way it opens, makes it easy to see all of the products that you need. The specific one that I have is the “HAIR” train case which holds full size products and if I am taking a long trip, then I want to have full size products with me. This bag will hold full size products, my flat iron and my hairbrush easily.
Toiletry Bag from Amazon
This makeup bag is great if you need something smaller to fit in your carry on or personal item. I use it often, and it actually holds a lot of products. The sides zip all of the way down so you can have easier access to see and grab your makeup.
Travel Essentials Guide | Gadgets
Gadgets, specifically travel gadgets, are some of my favorite things to purchase. They help make my travel days and trips go more smoothly.
portable phone charger
This portable phone charger is a must to pack on every trip. You will be using your phone a lot more than you think. Taking pictures, recording videos, googling things, and using your maps often will run the battery down quickly. This phone charger is my absolute favorite. I love it because it plugs right into the wall for easy charging, and it has 3 different charging ports for all of your tech needs.
travel tripod
I take this tripod on every single trip. It is so nice to have and not have to worry about asking strangers on the street to take that group photo that you will want while on vacation. This one condenses down fairly small and will stand 60 inches. It will hold your cell phone or your camera.
LED travel mirror
This travel mirror is one of my most used travel products. We all know hotel lighting is not always the best. We also know that sometimes there is not enough bathroom or counter top space so this rechargeable travel mirror makes it much easier to sit on the bed and do you makeup.
Travel Essentials | for the plane
Speaking of flying, these travel essentials are a must for airplane travel. They make my flight so much more enjoyable.
Headphones
These are my favorite headphones to wear on the plane. They are from target and not expensive. The headphones are noise canceling and wireless. I prefer over the ear headphones as opposed to ear buds, especially on longer flights, because ear buds tend to hurt my ears after wearing them a while. These are a great option for someone not looking to spend a couple of hundred bucks on headphones.
Cosmetic Bag
This little cosmetic bag may not seem like much, but I LOVE this thing. It is from Amazon and I used it for all of the small items that I want to toss in my personal item for the airplane. I put my lip gloss, hand sanitizer, pill organizer, lotion, phone chargers, etc in here.
Pill Organizer
Speaking of pill organizer…this is my favorite one I have purchased from Amazon. I love the look, the color, the compartments and the magnetic closure.
Travel Pillow and Blanket
I love this travel pillow/blanket combo. It is the softest pillow, or you can unzip it and have a blanket for the plane. It also has a trolley pass through so you can slide it on the top of your rolling luggage.
Sleep Mask
This memory foam sleep mask is a MUST if you have a long flight or an overnight flight. It’s comfy and doesn’t allow any light to creep in.
Travel Essentials | From Amazon
I get a ton of my travel essentials off of Amazon. They are affordable, practical and have helped me have a smooth travel experience for years.
Travel Steamer
This travel steamer is my number 1 most used travel product. I truly don’t know what I did before I started traveling with a steamer. It folds up more compactly, making it easier to pack. Never have wrinkled clothes from your suitcase again.
Travel Hangers
I always toss these travel hangers in my bag. We all know there are never enough hangers in a hotel closet, especially if you are traveling with your family or sharing a hotel room on a girls trip. These are a handy must.
Travel Fan
I don’t know about you, but I cannot sleep without a fan. I love to have the noise so I try to always travel with a fan so I can get a good night’s sleep. This is my favorite one from Amazon.
travel sunglasses case
This sunglasses case from Amazon holds 5 different pair of sunglasses. I have used this thing over and over, especially on beach vacations when you want to change your sunglasses to match your OOTD. This is such a great find.
