My Ride or Die Travel Accessories
Whether it is traveling for work or for fun, I love finding things that make the experience as seamless as possible so we can be the kind people in the airport, it doesn’t have to bring out the worst in us haha. I will try every new tote, amazon gadget and outfit so you don’t have to. But for now here are a few things I never travel without.
COMPRESSION SOCKS
I know what you are thinking, Paige they sound SEXAAAAAY. But if you are traveling on a plane for longer than 3 hours I highly recommend bringing compression socks along for the trip. If you have a super cute outfit and these are NOT the vibe, bring them in your bag and put them on right before boarding or when you board. These help reduce swelling for me and are great to avoid other health issues from your long journey!
You Totes Need These
Sorry for the bad pun but a good tote bag is key to a smooth travel experience. I have two bags that I switch between. I go based on how much I can fit in these without them being impossible to carry.
The MZ Wallace one has ALL the pockets which is convenient for different steps in the airport and you aren’t worried about digging around when you want to move quick to get to the lounge for a free cocktail! It also has a pocket that can be turned into a sleeve to go over your roller suitcase.
The Marc Jacobs large tote fits literally everything! If you are a checked bag girlie but need to manage in a carry-on this is a MUST. It fits so much but is sturdy so you aren’t struggling to carry and sits nicely on top of a roller bag.
Drain Your Social Battery, Not Your Phone Battery
You need not one but two portable chargers. I use the one from my Away suitcase and have a backup on me at all times, in case one dies. There are never enough outlets in the airport and we want make sure we are being safe and always have a charged phone!
Ice, Ice Baby
I have no shame. I will ice roll wherever. Part of it is to depuff, the other part is that it simply calms my nervous system. If you’ve read my beauty tips you know the Skinny Confidential Hot Mess Roller is a staple in my every day life but when traveling it’s my comfort blanket. So toss the roller in your hotel freezer and if you have too many cocktails or just don’t sleep great this will sure help combat it all.
