My Travel Essentials: Practical & Helpful Tips!

I’ve compiled a list of my travel essentials, and I hope you find it helpful and practical for your own travels!

For short trips, opting for toiletries in travel-sized containers under 3.7 oz can help you avoid checking luggage. Skipping checked bags saves time and reduces stress during the airport experience.

With TSA-approved items and no checked luggage, traveling through the airport becomes much faster and far more relaxed!


Back-up charger is a must for traveling especially when we depend on our phones for Uber and boarding passes – Only $20 HERE (Clip the coupon for $10 Off!)


This is the charger that I always use to charge my watch and phone simultaneously and I always take it along – $19.99 HERE

I love this carry on bag – I have an older version this one has a sleeve to slide on to your rolling luggage handle. It’s lightweight has great zippers and a pouch. Has handles and a strap. This bag is great quality will last you for years and is so sophisticated. It comes in a larger size as well I like this size since I’ll use it as my personal bag for travel but the larger one can function as your primary carry on.

It is available here for $275 (No sale – sorry!)

This one is travel sized so can be in your carry on – it costs $9.19 HERE

This one is only $13.00 From Sephora – HERE


Take along this adorable pill case for all your vitamins and meds – $12 HERE

Miamica Zippered Pill Case with 7-Day Removable Plastic Medicine Organizer, Yellow, 3.5” L x 2.75” W x 1.25” H – Keep Your Vitamins and Pills Organized – Compact and Sleek Pill Box

Remember to pack your AirPods if you want to listen/watch something on your phone and not disturb the passengers near you.
Many domestic flights have screens (JetBlue, Delta, and United) but many do not (Southwest, American, Spirit, etc…) On longer trips if they have a screen they will offer complimentary headphones (unless your flying Spirit where you pay to breathe or Frontier where there is no WiFi even to purchase!)


I skip neck pillows since I adjust the headrest instead—did you know it’s adjustable on most flights? I also don’t bring a blanket because I like to travel light, but a zip-up sweatshirt is a must. Planes can get chilly, and a cozy sweatshirt is perfect for staying warm and helping you sleep—plus, a hoodie adds an extra touch of comfort!
