*NEW* 25 GENIUS Travel Essentials from Amazon! (Must-Haves You Need)

I have 25 of the best Amazon travel must-haves. These are essentials that you need to make travel so much easier, not only for yourself if you're traveling solo, but for a family. If you're new here, I am a family of six and I have four kids ages 5 through 11. So when we travel, it's called a trip, not a vacation. Thumbs up if you can relate to me on that one. You need a vacation after your trip. All of these genius gadgets are perfect for airplane travel or road trip travel. Whatever the problem is, I've got you covered. If you're watching from your TV or your iPad, you can go ahead and scan the QR code on screen. It will take you to everything in this video. There's one nice link in the description box below that will take you to all of these goodies because my friend, you know I have more than 25 best-selling travel must-haves. I don't want you to miss out. But I ordered them very nicely within the list so you'll be able to find everything really easy, plus maybe some goodies that you hadn't thought about. Number one in no particular order is this phone for an airplane travel holder, whatever you want to call it. I've also been using this for my tripod because you can screw it into a tripod. We're going to get to something a little bit later in this video that's going to be super helpful if you struggle with getting photos with you and your partner and you're trying to find a random stranger to take a photo for you or you and your family. No, no, no, I have got you covered. I've kind of mastered the game at that one, being a solopreneur, if you will. But anyway, so you can open this up and you can attach it to the drop-down tray when you are on the airplane. You can use this in your home. You can use this in your kitchen. You can use it in your bathroom, basically anywhere. It is grippy, my friend. So that phone should not be falling out. Also, I love this little lanyard on here. So you can tuck it away in a purse, tuck it away in a backpack, loop it, use a carabiner, whatever you want to make your life easier. This rotates and swivels. So if you want to watch from a vertical landscape or a horizontal landscape, you certainly can. You can tilt it up. You can tilt it down. There's also a rechargeable light here on the side. I know, genius. Tap it twice, one, two, and you can adjust the brightness of it. This is so good. I wasn't planning on using it for all my filming, but it's worked great, especially my Amazon Lives, which I go live every Sunday at 10 a.m. Central Standard and every Tuesday at 8 p.m. Central Standard. If you ever want to join me live, all things Amazon, things that I typically don't share here. And the price point on this at the time of filming is around $11 to $12. I've already gotten my money for it. And yeah, this is good. I am so excited to thank the sponsor of today's video, Merit Beauty. I am obsessed with Merit Beauty products, especially just turning 41, living in Minnesota where our climates are a bit drying, intense. Let's just say not the best on your complexion. I've been using Merit Beauty products every single day for almost a year now. I want to say some product, some shape or form. In fact, my daughter, who's almost 12, has also been using Merit Beauty products because I trust the quality. And well, they accentuate her natural beauty, which is what I think Merit Beauty is all about, accentuating what you already have. However, if you do want that full face glam look, you certainly can get that. Today, I did a no makeup makeup look using all of my favorite Merit Beauty products. I have curated some limited edition sets. So if you click that link in the description box below, you're going to be able to save $23. And the only way to get that discount is by clicking the link down below. First of all, can we just talk about the high quality packaging? I mean, it looks gorgeous. It feels gorgeous on the skin. In fact, this is the second bottle of the Great Skin Instant Glow Serum. I use this every single day before I put on my foundation or my makeup. It will literally give your skin this hydrated, nice glow that's non-greasy. It just absorbs into your skin. Love this. Thankful that I now have a second bottle of it. Something else that I'm almost out of that I go through and use every single day is this bronzing bulb. And I love the application of it. What's incredible about Merit Beauty products is they're extremely blendable. Meaning if you just want a light, natural glow up, shall we say, you can certainly obtain that. However, if you want a little bit more of an intense makeup look, you can do that. They feel incredibly creamy on the skin. Not just this bronzing balm, but all of the products. Literally like silk in your skin. If you've never tried this blush balm, you're going to want to try it. So smooth, so silky, completely buildable, blendable. This blush is absolutely gorgeous. My 11 year old and almost 12 year old, oh my gosh, loves using it as well. I enjoy that she loves doing her makeup. It's fun. I always loved makeup at that age too. But I don't want her to look overdone and Merit Beauty products allow her to have that natural look at the same time. In fact, I don't know that I have met a Merit Beauty product that I do not love. This right here is the Minimalist. This is, I want to say the star of the show, but they're all stars of the show. I love using this in my under eye area so that I can cover up any sort of dark spots, look a little bit more vibrant and youthful. You can use it anywhere that you, I don't know, have a zit, want to cover something up, but you don't want it to necessarily look like cake on your skin, which it will not because of the creamy texture. Minimalist, that's a great word for this because it's like minimalist, however, it does a lot. Minimal effort, big bang. I don't know what you'd call it, but it works. Can we talk about the mascara for a second? This is my first time using the Merit Beauty mascara and I have tried a lot of mascaras and this hands down has to be one of my favorites. One, the wand is awesome. Two, the application is super easy. It gets all the lashes. You can see that I have it on right now. This is definitely going to be a repurchase in my book. I am so thankful and if anyone asks me what lash mascara that I use because I do get asked that a lot, this is what I'm going to say because it's good. And the lip care, ah, beautiful shades of lipstick and look at the packaging on this, such high quality. I'm wearing one of them right now. What one am I wearing? I'm wearing the baby is what it's called. Look at that. So chic, so gorgeous, smooth on the lips, very hydrating, good texture, easy to apply, goes with everything. This one right here is called ginger, but they have so many other gorgeous colors available. So if you're looking to bring out your natural beauty, cover up any areas that you choose not to have on display, such as the under eye area, especially for me. You want products that feel good on the skin, that are blendable, that are buildable, that are high quality. You're going to want to make sure that you get your hands on some Merit Beauty products. In fact, I rarely ever see discounts on the products. So make sure that you click that link in the description box below so that you can get $23 off your order. I was just talking to someone the other day and they said, Oh yeah, I got my mom and my sister, the minimalist for Christmas. And they absolutely love it. We had a whole conversation with a stranger about Merit Beauty products. I am so happy. I'm so excited. I will continue to wear these on repeat. And you know that I try a lot of products on this channel. They sit right here, ride or die, true to my heart, amazing quality. Thank you again to Merit Beauty for sponsoring today's video. In order to get $23 off your order, which is awesome, make sure that you click that link in the description box below. This is a number one new release, my friend. It's this family passport holder. My, my, my, does this hold a lot? It also has this beautiful carrying strap on it so you can wear it as a crossbody. So you have easy access to all the important things that you need. Lots of zippers in here. Lots of places that you can put all your passports. Now this could be for more than just passports. So something that you would want easy access to. I mean, you could even link something right here, keys or something like that. But on the inside, there are protectors for your passports and for your credit cards. Keeping them safe, should this get water damage of any sort, extra protection and RFID protection, which is something that, well, gives me peace of mind, especially when I'm traveling. The price point on this number one new release item, about $8, $7.99. Insane for how many problems this solves and makes your travel much easier and easier to access the important things that you need. These hand pops, absolutely amazing and genius. It comes in a rather large box with all of these, but I've been using them since this summer because I keep them in my car. I keep them in my purse. I keep them in a backpack. I keep them upstairs. Now I want to show you on camera how nice this works. You can see a little bit of fluid on the inside there. So these are great for your purse. They're not going to dry out, which often happens if you're using hand wipes or Lysol wipes, depending upon when you open the container. But all you need to do is push this down. You'll hear a popping sound. And then you just watch it grow literally before your eyes on camera. And then you just pull this out. I like to make sure all the liquid gets there on that little towelette. This could be perfect if you needed to clean up something. We've used this more times than I can count. In fact, I need to order a whole new box here for our upcoming travels. You open this up. You can wipe mouthes. You can wipe mouth. You can wipe faces. You can wipe many mouths. Just like a nice, fresh, lemony scent, if you will. I love these. They fit in a pocket. They fit really anywhere. They're so cute. This right here, this is a hands down. If you have kids with screens and you're traveling because those screens get real nasty. I mean, ours get nasty just being in our house. As you can see here from the two iPads that I'm showing you, they're absolutely disgusting. I did go in after I cleaned them with the screen cleaner and sanitized the back with a Lysol wipe because this was long overdue. But the size on this is awesome. You can put it in your purse. You can put it in, I don't know, a travel bag. Anywhere, really. But it's all in one. And really, I only needed about one to two squirts per device. This is also great for your cell phone. You can use this to clean glasses. You can clean stuck on stuff on your screens to a pretty good extent. But this is awesome. I've had this on hand and it's one of my go-tos whenever I need to clean a screen. And the price point, like under $7, $8 of how much use that I have gotten from this little gem right here. This next one might be my favorite. I don't know. They're all really good because they solve everyday travel problems. But, well, let me show you. And it is a number one new release item on top of that. It's this hair bag. I love the little handle on it. I love the detail. I love the closure. In here, I have all of my girls' hair heating supplies because I do their hair every single morning. I don't always heat it, but I do often. Especially my youngest. She has very fine hair. So I need to give it a little body. I can fit so much in here. Currently, I have two curling irons, a Teemo. It's like an automatic twirling curling wand, which I showed in a previous video, and a flat iron all in here. I could probably fit one more item. And this is so cute. So when you are traveling, everything's together. Everything is saving space. It looks cute. You can easily access. You can easily put everything away when it's time to go home. Now, there are several different versions of this hair tool bag. So if you had a Dyson or a Shark, and there was different attachments, you could store them in here. So again, great for travel. But also, I'm using it in my everyday life for storage and organization, which I cannot get enough of with four children. I love all the organization that I can get. In that master list, I'm going to link some other variations of this because there are some really cool ones out there. But I wanted to give you the number one new release item. And I approve. I'm very happy with this. Packing cubes. I discovered packing cubes, well, not early on enough, maybe in my mid-30s. And I will be, well, by the time you watch this, I will have turned 41. But these are a lifesaver, not only for your own belongings, but if you're packing for a family like I am. And it's also great to designate by colors, whose is who, what belongs to whom. They can keep things organized. You save so much space when you have these packing cubes. And then when you get to your hotel or your destination, it's so easy to find what you need because you can organize it by, I don't know, compartment, product, article of clothing, day of the week, adventure that you're going on. Everything is in here. A dirty clothes bag, a bra bag, lots of different compartments. Now, I've tried a lot of different packing cubes, but I brought this one to you because, well, it's very gorgeous, easy to clean. It's by a great brand. And it's a number one bestseller. This does come in a ton of different color option as well. And the price point is phenomenal. There's a shoe bag. There's a toiletry bag. There's a little bit of everything. I could have tore up my entire bedroom and closet to put items in here, but I don't want to have to put them all away. So trust me when I say this is good. Which reminds me, if you're not following me on Instagram, make sure you do it. Andrea Jean Coe, because I share behind the scenes. When we do take our family trip around spring break, I will be using all of these items and showing you in real time how I use them. This bag, smart, large toiletry bag. I love the puffer detail on it. It's easy to clean. There's also a wet compartment here in the back if you had some wet shampoos or lotions or what may have you. Lots of places to store things such as your makeup brushes, your makeup. And then on the inside, you could put all your lotions and your shampoos. And the possibilities are endless. I love how this sits upright. So then all your product is essentially sitting upright. And that's how it's designed to be in your suitcase. But again, suitcase gets tousled on conveyor belts, in trunks or whatnot. But also, if you're in a hotel, it's going to sit upright on the bathroom counter or your Airbnb or wherever you're staying so you can easily get what you need. If you need to take the things out of the bathroom, let's say you're sharing a bathroom and you're staying at someone's house or whatnot, you can easily do that and pack things up again. This comes in so many beautiful color options, a purple, a green, a gray, a blue. Possibilities are endless. I kind of, you know what, I think I'm going to get one of these for my 11-year-old daughter. She would love this. And she tends to overpack. So I can say to her, well, only what you can fit in here, honey, can you bring? Comes to beauty, makeup, and toiletries. That's so smart. I hadn't thought about this until I started talking with you. So thank you. These pillow blankets, absolute must-have. Not only is it a pillow, it can also turn into a blanket. It's compact. There is a, well, I don't know what you would call this, little hole here that you can put on the back of your suitcase so you can be hands-free. We also clip these to our backpacks. They hold up very nice. They also wash up very nice. I have gotten one for almost every single person in my family. Each person has a different color. I think the only person that doesn't have one is my husband. But I love this for airplane travel. I know there's an airplane on it. But I also use it for road trips because one, sometimes you just need a pillow to rest against the windows, you know, when you're sleeping. Or if it gets a little bit chilly when you're in your vehicle because my husband likes it cool, I like it warm. You can just open this up and use the really soft plush blanket on the inside. I even use this in the hotel room when I get there. I don't want to say I'm a germaphobe, but, well, I struggle when it comes to sharing pillows in beds with, like, hundreds of other people who have slept in the same spot. So I have a solution for you here coming up. It's very, very good. I only recently started using these last year and I'm like, why have I not been using these sooner? But I will often still use this blanket, throw it over the pillow, just get really cozy, have that warm, well, it is warm, but have that, I don't know, you smell of your own house, you know what I mean? I just like that comfort. I guess mama still has a blankie. You're never too old for a blankie. I know it's a little bit early to be thinking about this, but graduation will come up upon us and lots of things for this summer. These would be really great pieces for someone that is going off to college, someone that is graduating because whether they're in a dorm, they're living in an apartment, they're traveling away. These right here, making life easier. Moving into a number one bestseller, and again, by the brand BagSmart, they are an excellent brand. It's this large puffer tote. Now, this is great for an airport because you can hook it over the handle of your suitcase so that you are hands-free on the side and you can put your water bottles in there or anything that you want kept upright. You can put your computer in there. You could also put things that you would need to easily access up front. Now, when you get to your destination, not only did this serve you well to get to and from the destination, but if you're like me, your kids have a lot of stuff, you're going down to the beach, this is great because it easily wipes clean. You're going to the pool, you want to throw things in here. You could even, you know, put some sodas in here and some drinks in here if you didn't want to hide the beverages at the resort or wherever it is that you're staying, save a little money or maybe they just don't have what you like in particular. For me, we usually try to pack things especially, well, really anywhere we go because my kids don't, I mean, they eat the same things basically. So, I don't want to pay $30 for chicken tenders that they're going to have like two bites of it, you know what I mean? So, this is great for that and just work stuff. I've used this as a work bag as well. Price point's awesome. The quality is amazing and it comes in a lot of different colors. All right, this collapsible tripod. You may think that you don't need this. I actually bought it for work-related things and it has served me so well. It is magnetic. There's also a Bluetooth little handheld snapper available. I think this is what it's originally intended for. So, that way you can set your phone up on it, use the little remote if you wanted to snap it like in your pocket discreetly and then have it automatically take the picture. Now, you certainly can set a timer on your phone up to 10 seconds at least on the iPhone and we often will do that but it's nice to have a little Bluetooth so you're not like running to get in your spot to get your family photo or your couple's pic. You can do this horizontally. You can do this vertically. The head on this tripod is amazing. Every single direction that you could possibly want which makes it a dream for content creators such as myself and all I have to do is just snap my phone. I just put it up there and the hold is so strong. I've never had any issues with it. In fact, I used it for my Amazon lives for several weeks until I got a new system involved. I won't get into the details why but I still use this tripod every single day especially for filming YouTube shorts and Instagram reels and I'm going to be taking it on our next vacation because, well, you can get any picture that you want even though you may not have an extra person on hand to photograph all of your adventures. It's under $30 and it's as tall, almost as tall as me which is what I loved about that. It's hard to find a tripod that can get that tall. It's awesome. This magnetic charger, so, so good. I love that it just magnetizes if you have a magnet on your iPhone. I have an iPhone 16, iPhone 17 and they both are magnetic so that you can use your phone while it's charging and not have to like have this weird cord attached to it. This also pops out the kickstand which is great so you can watch things on it while you're charging and you can just set it up really nicely. This opens up so you can also charge a watch, everything that you need when you're on your travels and then all you need to do is charge it up should you need to. The battery life on this is really good. It also has the cords built into it right here so just use your adapter, plug it in the wall and you are set. This is awesome. I want this in more colors. Does it come in more colors? Heck yes, it does. It has a green, sort of a peachy color and a black. Now I can designate which one's mine, which one's my husband and well, thank God my 11 year old doesn't have a cell phone yet. We are holding off as long as humanly possible. She does have an Apple Watch so we can text her and get a hold of her and track her and all that good stuff. I'm holding off on the cell phone because I know she's going to be glued to it as any teenage girl that I've met before and I can't say I would have been any different as a teenager myself, although I didn't have cell phones that long ago. Oh my gosh, I feel like my parents, back in the day, you know, when I was growing up and here I am saying those same lines. These travel toiletry bottles, this is perfect. It has little labels on there so you can label it conditioner, sunscreen, shampoo, body wash. It's nice and compact. In this silicone sleeve that you can easily slip on and off. It even comes with a funnel so that you can transport, transport? So that you can transfer your lotions to this and well, I was going to say vice versa, but you probably wouldn't transfer it back to the big bottle. What I often do is I'll keep little things like this on hand. That way if I'm going on a quick trip, I can just grab it and throw it into my weekender bag or that tote bag that I just showed you from Bagsmart or my suitcase, but so, so cute. And you can just easily set this on the countertop wherever you're staying. Should you want to do that because of the nice silicone grip here, it's going to stay put much better. They do come in several cute color options. So you can do one for yourself. I can do one for my 11 year old. I could get one for my husband. Meow, meow. Oh my word. Meow, just imagine. I have cats on the brain because we're going to be getting two cats. Not anytime soon, but within the next year. So hopefully next summer. But anyway, you know, that's what I like about cats because they're easy to travel with because you just have someone check on them depending how long you're gone, make sure they have enough food, water, all that good stuff. But anyway, back to the travel goodies. These caffeine eye masks. I recently shared them and I have been absolutely loving them. This brand makes a variety of different eye masks, but you're going to want something. I use them every single day. I share this on Instagram stories. You often see me bright and early with my eye masks on, whether it's the caffeine ones or the regular hydrating ones. I honestly can't tell the difference, but the idea of the caffeine ones just make me feel better. I believe the packaging says to leave them on your under eyes for about 20 minutes or so, but you can usually tell when you need to take them off anyway because they're all, you know, dried up essentially because the product has absorbed into your under eye area. And ladies, especially as we get older and it gets colder out, we want to make sure that we are saturating this area right in here. So it's part of my morning routine. So of course I take it on travel, but oftentimes when you are traveling, you may not look and feel your best. I don't know about you. I often get quite bloated because, well, I get constipated when I travel. I don't know. My body is like the day that I'm leaving is like you are not going to take a number two for the next week and a half until you come home basically. I know. TMI. I shared a product in a previous travel video. Docalox is something I always have to pack with me. And thankfully I learned through the comment section that many of you also experience that when you travel. It's just weird. It's like your body is like pull up, hold a break. Something's different. You're on a routine like this can't happen. And I'm like, this should definitely be happening, especially if you're going to be in a bathing suit, like, oh my gosh, like it's a whole to do. So luckily I have solutions in place, but needless to say, I don't know how we got on the topic of bloated and number twos and well, looking and feeling your best eye masks. Thank you eye masks for getting me down that rabbit hole. So more of the story. You may not feel good in this area, but at least this area will be nice and rejuvenated. Rejuvenated. You'd think that I had some sort of speech impediment. Maybe I do. You know what it is. My brain thinks so fast, my mouth can't keep up with how fast my brain is processing information and the whole, it comes out like that sometimes. So bear with me. And when I try to speak slower, I really feel like I'm a snail. Like we're going to fall asleep. The Lumify eye drops. I recently shared this in a 100k review or sold within the past month video. And this has been on there. This is awesome, especially for travel. Look at how cute and compact this is. You want to look and feel your best, but a lot of times to travel, depending if you're on really long flights, you're on an overnight, you're a red eye. You have to get up really early. You're just like sitting in airports. You know what I mean? Like the idea of traveling seems really nice, but like the actual traveling can be very exhausting, especially traveling with four children. That's like incredibly exhausting. Like just taking care of myself in the travel excursions is enough. And then I got three other people, plus my husband. Prep yourself, honey. Put on that seatbelt because you're in for a long haul. You know, I feel like I was lied to when I first had my children. We went on several vacations and they were so stinking stressful, grand. They were quite young, but you see these beautiful pictures on Instagram of everybody and their families just smiling, splashing, having fun. So that's what I envisioned when I had four kids, that we'd be traveling, smiling, splashing, having fun. And we do. However, however, if you're a mom, you know deep down in your heart what I'm talking about. It is stressful, but the memories, the memories are worth it. That's what they say. No, I'm just kidding. They absolutely are. But I just know going into travel with a family and kids, at least the age of my kids, they're getting better. They're getting older. It's getting a little bit easier, but still, still tantrums, fighting, bickering with each other. I digress. I'm supposed to be getting you pumped up for your trip. Okay, part of the reason is it is stressful to travel as a big family and it's very expensive. So I love to have things around me that just take care of those little problems. You know what I mean? Like if you can handle those, I feel a little bit more in control, a little bit more at ease. So there we go. This wash me dirty clothes bag too came in a pack. And in fact, my daughter can fit inside one of these because they are that large. So what we do when we're at our destination, we put all of our dirty clothes in here. So they're all contained now back in your suitcase, just monkeying and dirty things up. And typically we take everything out of the suitcase such that you have more room in your hotel room. And then you have the packing cubes, which I showed you previously. You put them in the drawers, depending on where you're staying, assuming you're at like an Airbnb in a hotel or something like this. But these are awesome. And then you just take all your dirty clothes and you put this massive bag back into your suitcase. Then you get home. And in my case, I drag this. I lug these up the steps or ask my husband to bring them up the steps because they can get quite heavy. I think this holds four loads of laundry. I think the Amazon, I don't, it holds a lot. And the fact that you get two of them, amazing. I mean, you could even use this for like college, for a dorm. They're very durable. I mean, I've had these for, I want to say two or three years now and use them multiple times a year. Still holding up. And they easily clean and wipe off should you need to do that. And currently like $7, $8 for two of these. Steals and deals. I pay more for a sweater than I wear only a few times. You know what I mean? Oh, that's sad to think about, but it's true. This mirror, it is so good. I use it every single day. In fact, I had it down here to prep me for filming and I'm getting ready in the morning. Like where is my mirror? My husband, I just found this out actually today. Honest truth. He's like, where is that little mirror? Like, what do you mean? And I found out he also uses this every single day. And I don't actually think I do know for what like little hairs, hairline on the back of his neck. I think he mentioned to me something like that. I don't know. It lights up, which is awesome. There's a very heavy duty magnifying. If you want to get really close, which I often like, I'm already seeing right here an eyebrow that needs to be plucked and pulled. Like sometimes you don't want to get that close because you're like, God, I just made more work for myself. But this is wonderful. How I typically use this is to look at the back of my hair in a mirror. So I just hold it up so that I can see the back of the hair. If I did a style I didn't do, just make sure the hair is laying right. So functional, so compact, perfect. The battery life on this has lasted for eternity. Bringing you a second mirror that we also use every single day. This fits really nicely into a suitcase. This is a larger mirror that you can set up and we'll often set it up on the desk. If we're in a hotel room, you know, most hotels have a desk and then I'll do my makeup there and get ready because sometimes it's nicer to sit down than stand in the bathroom. Although I do stand every day when I get ready in the morning because I don't have a vanity. I want one, but just spacing. So when I'm at a hotel, I like this, but my daughter uses this every single day. She'll bring this in the car to get ready on her way to school or she'll sit here at the kitchen counter up here and do her makeup. But there's an on and off button should you want to use the light on it. And then you could do a warm light. I don't know, a regular light. And then like a blue light, cool toned light, if you want to call it that. And then you just turn it off and you flip it. So good. Literally, we've had this for three years or so. Still holding up, being used every single day. This 18 piece makeup brush set. I recently showed this, but this is perfect for travel. Especially if you're not going to want to be washing your brushes while you're on vacation, depending upon how long you're gone. Now, many more came in this. The other half is in that BagSmart toiletry bag that I showed you previously, where you could put your brushes in there. But if you didn't want to do that, you could just grab this. You can use this in your everyday use. It has every possible brush that you could possibly need. And then for travel, you just pop the lid on here and then you can throw this in your suitcase or you could even fit at any of these bags that I showed you here today. Nice hard top on it to protect your brushes and everything's contained. Also, it's so nice because in your bathroom or wherever you're getting ready, a desk, like I mentioned, you can set this on there and you can just easily grab your brushes as you're getting ready, right? It's not laying in a dirty counter or something like that. This is the number one bestseller, by the way, and you are going to like pee your pants when you hear the price on this. $10 for all of these. And the brushes are great. Okay, this is a new to me. Actually, well, last year, it's these disposable pillowcase covers. They also make them in bed sheets. I think they make them in fitted sheets and flat sheets. I've used the flat sheet before, but this is what I mostly care about. Now, the pillowcases are washed when you're at a hotel, assumingly, but I don't think the pillows are ever washed. And the pillowcase generally isn't that great of a barrier between, well, what has seeped into the contents of that pillow. You know what I mean? Drool, sweat, God knows what else. But these are awesome. They fit all sizes of pillows. A ton come in a pack. I've used half this pack already. I took my boys on a little trip at the end of last school year, but these, I will not travel without these anymore. Now I'm like, why? I mean, I survived, right? But I just feel so much better about it now. This Tatcha serum stick. I bring this to you because this is perfect for travel. You can keep it in your purse, your carry-on or whatever, but you're going to want to stay hydrated when you are traveling. Whether it's cold weather or warm weather, this works like a charm. It is worth every single penny. A little goes a long way. You can use it under your eyes, which is typically where I use it, but you can use it all over your face for that added hydration. Oftentimes, if we're not hydrating, we're not drinking enough, which often happens to me when I'm traveling and I'm just not thinking about it. You just start to look older and like wrinkly like a raisin, I feel like. So this does wonders. Or after sun care, you just need a little bit moisture on your face. I love this. This is actually the second time that I purchased this stick, and it's amazing. And can I say the packaging is so pretty? These New Balance tennies. I have had these for four years, maybe, and they come in a lot of different colors. I have them in a blue version. They are so comfortable. New Balance generally are notorious for being good on your feet, and I have to say they absolutely are. So I like to wear a nice pair of tennis shoes, usually when I'm going through the airport and then getting to your destination. And then when you are at your destination and you're doing a lot of walking around, a lot of sightseeing, these are it. And they go with so many different outfits. Great brand, great quality. They hold up. I cannot say enough good things about them. And they are so cute. Essential. This next one makes me so happy. I mean, they all make me happy, but it's these mini clear makeup bags. Now you can use them for makeup as extra protection to keep things organized in your suitcase, or I don't know, any little odds and ends, but here's how I use them both for travel and in my everyday life. I put swimsuits in them, especially if you have two pieces, you can keep them all organized in here. I even have coverups that I put in here. I use these in my room. I use these in my girl's room. You can easily find the swimsuit that you want. I just think this is genius. I saw some other influencer a couple years ago who did this with these clear bags, and I'm sure she saw it from somebody else, or maybe she just geniusly thought of it. I don't know. She definitely could have done that, but so good. And you're saving space because it's nice and compact in there, and you can easily grab your swimsuits. You don't have to pull them out of your suitcase. You don't have to pull them out of your packing cube. I mean, you probably put them in your packing cubes, but you could save space in your packing cubes and then just leave these in the suitcase if you wanted to do that. I like to bring a swimsuit with me in my carry-on because I've never had my luggage, knock on wood, not arrive when I arrived. So just in case that were to happen, at least you have a swimsuit available and ready to enjoy, assuming you're at a beach or some warm weather destination. Organized on vacation, organized at home. This travel backpack. Now, I posted this on Instagram over a year ago, and I'm suddenly getting a lot of requests again for this backpack. This is a really great backpack because you can put so much in it. You could use it for a weekend. This would be a great graduation gift. You could use it alongside your carry-on if you have a suitcase, and then your one personal item is your backpack, which I like to do. And then you can put your purse in the backpack, but you could put an entire change of clothes. You could probably put a whole weeks of clothes depending upon who you are. I don't know that I could possibly do that, but maybe I could. I would be up for the challenge. A lot of space in this backpack. It's very comfortable. It holds up so nicely, and it does come in several different color options. Now, there's a high sell at risk for this backpack because it is very popular because it's that good. So I'm gonna link one that is almost identical in the event it sells out. You can use this for work stuff. You can use this for workout stuff. Basically anything, and lots of color options. One for each person in the family, I feel like. Not a bad idea. And last but not least, I mentioned I'm a bit of a germaphobe. These hand sanitizers. I love them. They smell so good. I mean, they're just different than your regular old standard hand sanitizer that just smells kind of, I don't know, clean, but not refreshing. These come in a lot of different scents, if you will. You can fit them in a pocket. You can easily fit them in a purse. They're worth every penny because they're so cute. They make me want to sanitize even more. But I am, I don't want to say I'm obsessed with hand sanitizers. I wouldn't go quite that far. However, am I the only weirdo that goes out in public and then has hand sanitizer in their car and I always hand sanitize my hands when I get in my car after being in a public place? Does anyone else do that? I have a little pump in the door of my car. I don't know. I've trained myself. I started at a gas station. You're pumping gas and then you get inside and you're like, how many people have touched that gas pump handle? Then I just started doing it. So here we are. Long story short, these are awesome. They're so cute. They make excellent gift ideas as well. I always keep a bunch on hand because they're so, so good. It's hydrating to your hands, so it's not going to overly dry them out, which is awesome, especially for my girls. Their knuckles and hands tend to get pretty dry and these have not caused any issues and they just smell like heaven. Let me know your favorite travel essential in that comments box below or if you are traveling somewhere fun or on your bucket list, there's somewhere that you want to travel. I have a very large bucket list, but when my kids are a bit older, just to travel, like that's something I want to do desperately. New Zealand, Australia, London, Paris, all the places. I'm telling you, I just lost my thoughts there for a second. Oh, it's also really nice about these travel pieces. They are an investment, although many of them are relatively inexpensive for high quality things. You're going to continue to use them year after year, like I have attested to with these products.
