In reflecting on 2014, I realized we travel a whole lot (last year we visited India, London, Norway, New York, Michigan, Missouri, Utah and California). All that travel has made me much more savvy when it come to what I carry in my bag. I was inspired by Rue La La’s handbag guide to share what’s inside my purse when I’m on the go. When I’m traveling or in tourist mode I only want the bare essentials – no time for digging around a purse for this girl so I opt for a tote or hobo bag. But even the bare essentials takes some planning. Below are my key items for making any trip (even if it’s just to the grocery store) a cinch!
1. Neutrogena face wipes $1.99 at Target
5. Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint $40 on Birchbox
There is absolutely no reason to wear heavy foundation when traveling. I like to opt for something light and airy like Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint. It has spf 20 so you don’t have to worry if you get a bit of sun plus it’s packed with antioxidants. The end result is a soft glow that gives you a put together look – even when you’re stuck on a long flight.
6. Emergen-C Vitamin C 1,000 MG $12 on Amzaon
Something about traveling (maybe the stress, time spent in airports or gas stations, the junk food I eat) always runs down my immune system. So to keep from catching a nasty bug I always travel with a few of the Emergen-C Vitamin C packets in my purse. They dissolve in a water bottle and are pretty good tasting – making it easy to stay healthy on the go.
7. Aviators Sunglasses $7.99 on Target
It’s my personal policy never to buy expensive sunglasses because when you travel a lot the odds are you’ll end up losing them. These aviators look cute & their price tag will keep you from shedding any tears if they decide to disappear.
8. LSTN Headphones Cherry Wood Bowerys $50
Not only do these headphones look awesome because they are made from reclaimed wood, but they sound amazing. Not to mention when you buy a pair they donate to help restore hearing for a person in need.
So there you have it! All the fun stuff I keep with me when I’m on the go. I always love it when people share their tips with me so post below any of the items that you simply cannot live without when traveling
