My Travel Essentials

We just got home from our Spring Break and Ava’s Birthday trip, as I’m re-capping my thoughts from each adventure it made me think of all my favorite travel essentials! I’ve rounded up my favorites today, these items make traveling easier in my opinion and are so helpful to have!


Ifly carry on suitcase- I got this hard side carry on suit case last October and I’ve been so please with the quality of this! I usually only do a carry on and I almost never check luggage so this size is perfect for me! I also love the rose gold color, but this brand also has other colors and sizes available too!

small portable charger- This is something I recently got for our trip to NYC. I knew we’d be walking a lot during the day and not heading back our hotel to take breaks, I knew I didn’t want to run out of phone battery taking pics and videos. This charger plugs into your wall, and only takes a few hours to fully charge. It’s nice light weight and doesn’t make your phone to heavy when it’s plugged in! Great for on the go!

silicone travel bottles- I like to have my own shampoo, conditioner, etc. when I travel, these work great for using your own products, they don’t leak and I like that they are flexible and you don’t have to worry about them cracking.

dr. scholls slip on sneaker- I wanted a good walking shoe that would be comfortable to take to NYC that was stylish as well, I’m so glad I found these! They were really comfortable for walking around the City!

belt bag- This Amazon belt bag has been such a great find, I use it almost daily! But it’s also great for traveling too, it’s adjustable and comes in a variety of colors!

woven tote- I usually don’t go for a non structured tote, but this one hag a structured bottom, and a large pouch that is re moveable to hold smaller items. I like having a bigger tote to travel in airports and bring a smaller bag as well. This tote is so well made, holds its shape well and a pretty neutral color.

packing cubes- These packing cubes are a lifesaver, and so helpful! Each of my kids and I have a set and they work well! We’ve had them for several trips now, and they have held up great!

I truly love all these items when I travel, I hope you’ve found them helpful too! Comment below your fave travel items or hacks!
