By integrating these essentials into your packing routine, you’ll find that your travels become more enjoyable and stress-free. Don’t leave home without these tried-and-true companions that will serve you well on your adventures!

1. The perfect Electric Toothbrush

I love the slim design of this Pop Sonic Electric Toothbrush that come with a convienent travel case. Plus who doesn’t love a good toothbrush. Also like that it has a sensitive speed and comes with an extra brush head. Bonus- it is battery operated so it lasts forever. This has been on tons of trips with me and I have never needed to replace the battery yet. Plus it's purple! https://amzn.to/4mGpJf

2. Portable Containers for your liquids

The Savvy Traveler is a carry on Queen so you know I have to have portable refillable containers so I can leave full size products at home and not have to worry about buying travel size for every trip. These portable containers are great for things you don’t need 3 oz of like moisturizer, face cream, eye cream. This set is nice because it comes in assorted sizes. I tend to use the 1.25 oz size but I use bigger ones for moisturizer or conditoner and the smaller ones for eye creams. I've tried and don’t like the silicone ones as they tend to leak a little. https://amzn.to/4kOpfCk

Another great option are these portable pump jars. I use these for serums and liquids because the serums do leak in the other containers https://amzn.to/43UyQ4G

3. Label Maker for the Organizers like me

Now you gotta label those portable containers. Trust me don’t bother writing it with marker or ink. It eventually fades or liquid smears it. This thing is awesome! The OCD diva in me wants to label everything in the house. It is small so it's easy to store, it connects to an app on your phone so it's easy to use, and it even cuts the label for you and is easy to peel .Did I mention how easy it is? https://amzn.to/4jADY2F

4. Pill Cases

Of course you need a good ole standard liket this https://amzn.to/4dOxBYs, but also get a smaller portable one for throwing in your purse/bag. It's perfect to have on hand on the plane, throw it in your beach bag or purse so you always have emergency and daily meds on you. (If you know me, you know this is where my Excedrin is) https://amzn.to/43Ii8Va

5. Electrolytes are a necessity when traveling

These Flywell electrolytes are now my favorite brand, especially for travelling. They are great for jetlag, circulation, hydration, digestion, immunity and promoting calmness. They sound perfect right? They are sugar free and have tons of healthy minerals and vitamins in them. Plus they are also great for getting in extra hydration when you are drinking alcohol. https://amzn.to/3HmM9Ce

For an alternative these Liquid IV sticks sound fun in Popsicle Firecracker https://amzn.to/4mLX9ti. I personally think these work a little better when you are drinking alcohol or for a hang over because they have sugar in them.

For a sugar free version these are good too https://amzn.to/3HlxHuo

6. Eye masks are a must!

Not only it helps you sleep on a plane but could also be helpful if the room you are staying in has too much light or someone has the TV on. I like the shape of this one with the eye socket areas and find it super comfortable. https://amzn.to/3ZJ7v2

7. Portable Hair Tools

Tymo Portable Cordless Straightening brush is lightweight, heats up quick, easy to charge and is a space saver replacing my straighter and hairbrush. Plus it doesn’t blow the international plugs!

I have it In pink https://amzn.to/43Gxidw

Also in Black https://amzn.to/4kgDmQV

8. Jewelry Case

This one has tons of space and lays so flat so doesn’t take a lot of room in your suitcase. https://amzn.to/4kO5YB2

9. Must have Travel Pouch

Another must is a little pouch to hold a few essentials on the plane. Yes, you have that personal size item under the seat but it’s a pain to keep going in to get stuff in and out of and plus everyone is rushing you to sit when you get on the plane. Get a pouch like this to keep a few things you know you will need like airpods, chargers, gum, meds, etc..and keep it in the seatpocket. Trust me, makes life much easier. https://amzn.to/3ZHrqiM

10. Portable Phone Carger is a lifesaver

You know your phone is going to die quicker on vacation as the battery drains from maps/directions, taking pics, etc..and you are going to want a portable phone charger on hand. I've tried a few but this is my favorite because it's light, super thin and easy to use. Plus I love that it's magnetic/Magsave and I can snap off my magnetic pop socket and throw this one on. I have this one from Casely https://amzn.to/4kOAqdY but this one looks pretty similar and also looks like a great option https://amzn.to/43I2ucb

Bonus Item

Selfie Stick

Okay, so maybe this one isn't a travel necessity like the rest of the list but it does make life easier when trying to get that perfect group shot or taking the best selfie or groupie. I mean you want to capture those memories right? Happy Photo Snapping! https://amzn.to/4kOAqdY
