Travel Essentials
Hi everyone, I wanted to share a few of my travel essentials that I think are really useful for
every trip! Over the years of I've discovered so many tips and tricks that aid me when I travel so I just wanted to share them.
First off, Always wear comfy shoes for traveling.. I suggest a sock sneaker with a pair of socks inside. I love my Balenciaga sock runners because they are comfortable, sturdy and easy to pull on and off but there are many brands that have the similar look for less and I recommend a sock inside because you can avoid walking on the cold and dirty ground during TSA.
Sock shoes:
I also love to wear leggings when traveling because not only do they keep me warm but they are the most comfortable when sitting through a long flight. Pro tip: Wear leggings with pockets in the sides to keep your ID/Passport and phone or boarding pass for easy access when in the airport! I linked a few leggings that are great for traveling below:
Now on to the In flight essentials:
A comfy small blanket - This makes flights so much more cozy especially if it is a cold flight. My favorite blanket is one I bought on a Jetblue flight for $5 that I take on every flight and love because it is the perfect size for the plane! Any small blanket however will do so that it is enough to cover up your body but not take up too much space in your carry on!
Eye Mask- This is definitely an essential especially for early morning and red eye flights to block out all the light when inflight and you wanna catch a snooze! You can find at target, Riley rose, Dollar stores and if your Lucky some flights will offer them for free so hold on to it!
Wipes- These are super important because you are sitting in a seat tons of people have sat in before you and most of the time its minimally cleaned before you.. so to avoid catching a cold or picking up any unnecessary bacteria, wipes are always a good idea.
Socks- If you didn't wear socks on the plane I suggest having a pair in your bag because they make your feet much more comfortable for kicking back and relaxing.
Standard Earphones (round tip)- Flights these days are charging for every and anything including earphones so my suggestion is to always have standard earphones packed in your bag to avoid missing out on inflight movies and paying for a pair.
Food (long flights)- This is something I definitely recommend because ain't nobody got time for the tasteless food on a 5 hr flight. I am definitely an eater so any snack I can bring with me I def take along with me and if I can get a whole meal before I will. Airport food is usually over priced and not that good so I usually buy before hand or even fill up before your flight so your full for the beginning of the trip.
Water (Bought in airport) - Obviously you can't bring water through TSA but one in airport purchase should definitely be a bottle of water, we can get easily dehydrated during flights so I think it is something to have!
Lip Balm- I love having lip balm because my lips always get dry during flight. My favorite is Blistex!
Face Mask - Any face mask of your choice will work just to ensure your skin stays hydrated and you come off the plane looking better than you got on! I recommend sheets masks or my favorite travel mask Summer Fridays Jet Lag mask!
Neck pillow- I have never actually owned or used a neck pillow but I have heard that they make sleeping on flights much comfier! I will definitely confirm this when I find the perfect one for me! Pro tip: Purchase a neck pillow from Ross or Tj Maxx to avoid paying the higher prices at the airport. Also hook on your bag instead of putting it inside to save space!
These are some of my travel essentials that make my trips as enjoyable as possible if you have any tips please feel free to share and have a happy Tuesday!!
