Travel Essentials

Fenty - everyone has their take but I love the thickness, hydration, application, wear, and the balance of shine without being sticky

Blissy - basically everyone has one except you! Save your hair, your skin, your sanity

Nesugar - to make sure you show up 'top notch' this garment steamer is a WINNER!

Oneadaptr - you're welcome to try and find a better one...but you won't!

Zara - carry ONE metallic item in case you need to dress up. This knit dress can be stuffed anywhere

Gonex - BEST RATED compression bags that come as a 4-pk. Use the SMALLEST one to pack a tee+bottom in your carry on just in case... thank me later!

Chipolo - it's like the Apple Airtag only less expensive. I have them on everything I carry

Comrad - the stewardess asked where I got mine; they are a Godsend on any flight over 3 hours

Uniqlo - $18 for something to toss on that fits your stuff so you ca be handsfree - a WIN!

JBL - instantly turn your hotel room into a mini club or set the mood...

Oliver Bonas - a colorful, lightweight scarves cures any monochromatic look and wards off coughs from your neighbor!

Twelve South - the original, SKIP the headphone jack and use this to listen with your wireless headphones. WINNING!

Rothys - I go to these because they are machine washable so can be cleaned easily. They have boots, clogs, sneakers, loafers... perfect in a pinch

Sennheiser - beautiful looking and gorgeous sound...for when any baby is crying!

Quince - this time of year I love a sweatshirt and this is an elevated , shrunken cashmere version. YES!

Otterbox - has 20,000mAH and can charge just about anything

Anker - you don't want pretty, you want power so have at least 20,000mAH. This has 24K!

Amazon - a packable jacket is perfect for adventure/outdoorsy trips

Calpak - this softside duffel is a WIN because you can "overstuff it" but squish it underneath your seat in a pinch

Rimowa (best) - you're paying for legacy and elitism, and it's nearly indestructible!

Away (good) - they are on everyone's list and have even added an aluminum version to compete with the BEST

Monos (better) - when packed right, you can carry a weeks' (maybe even 10 days) worth of travel!

Bellroy - if you need to be more organized with your tech peripherals then this is your baby (it's the one I carry)!

Quince - I believe in layering and having something that can add "polish" in a pinch so these knit blazers are a YES

Parker Thatch - honestly, it's NEVER cool to have your cables and cords randomly tossed about in your bag (and they're hard to find)

Ipanema - flip flops are a must because the world (and hotel floors) are DIRTY!

Paravel - if you're an overpacker, then you need these! They help you to compress items and with a quad, once it's full you likely have enough for a long weekend!

Caudalie - a vegan, hydrating face mist that will have you deplaning and still glowing!

Spanx - your travel outfit, you're welcome! The next best thing to pjs but 100x more stylish!

Ries - TSA-compliant, leak resistant, airless pump (and Black-owned)
