What’s in My Travel Bag?

Whether I’m traveling abroad in Europe or simply on vacation in Palm Desert, when I’m away from home, it’s essential that I pack exactly what I might need. If you know me, I’m a planner. I like to make sure that I have all that I could possibly want or need—just in case.

Here are my top 5 favorite products that every travel bag of mine is equipped with!

1. Liz Claiborne Charging Wallet

I don’t know about you, but my phone dies so quickly! When I’m traveling, although I try my best to keep off social media and the like, I try to take as many photos as possible! The only problem is that this makes my phone battery quickly run out of steam. Luckily, I found this charging wallet and I’m obsessed. It’s perfect and charges my phone so quickly.

2. Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lip

While on vacation, you have to be ready for any photo opp, right? This little lip gloss is seriously my favorite that I’ve found. It stays on for hours and gives you that polished, chic look. And the price doesn’t get much better– only $6!

3. 2-in-1 Lips and Cheek

While I’m sightseeing, I want to take as many photos as possible so I can hold on to the memories! Unfortunately, a lot of times my makeup wears off and I’m not as “ready for the camera” as I’d hope to be. I love my 2-in-1 products by both Bobbi Brown and Illuminate Cosmetics to freshen me up when I’m on the go. A little blush and a little lipgloss really can help spruce up your look after a long day of traveling.

4. Caramel Peanut Butter Meal Bar

On our last vacation to Europe, these yummy bars from Nutrilite came in handy. Sometimes, you just have to much you want to see and do that you don’t have time to stop for a meal when hunger strikes! I never leave home without one of these in my bag and I’m so happy that I found a bar that keeps me full for hours. It’s low calorie, low fat, high in protein, AND it also tastes just like a candy bar. (I mean come on it doesn’t get much better!)

5. Sleep Mask

Ask anyone and they’ll tell you just how important sleep is to me. When I’m traveling, I especially have a hard time sleeping, so if I can do anything to help me catch some extra zzz’s I’m all about it. This sleep mask is essential to blocking out any light so that I can sleep whether I’m on the plane, train, or even in my hotel.
