The Gear (Luggage & Organization)
This is the best dupe for the expensive 'Away' suitcases. It glides through the airport so smoothly, fits perfectly in the overhead bin, and the hardshell protects everything inside. It looks way more expensive than it is.
Hardside Carry On Suitcase Gray - Open Story™: Spinner Wheels, Water- ...
I feel so put together having my passport, boarding pass, and cards all in one chic holder. It saves me from panic-digging through my bag at security. Plus, the custom initials make it so cute for photos.

No more untangling necklaces when you arrive at the hotel. This little velvet box keeps my rings and earrings secure and separate. It’s tiny but holds so much—a total travel essential
Velvet Jewelry Box
Stop buying single-use minis! These silicone bottles are leak-proof (actually!) and let me bring my favorite expensive shampoo and face wash from home without worrying about spills in my bag.

In-Flight Beauty (Sephora Must-Haves)
The most viral hand sanitizer for a reason. It doesn't smell like alcohol; it smells like perfume and doesn't dry out your hands. The flat shape fits perfectly in even the smallest purse or pocket.
Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer
Airplane air kills my lips. This balm is thick, hydrating, and not sticky. I apply a thick layer before takeoff and my lips stay soft the whole flight. The vanilla scent is so comforting.
Lip Butter Balm - Summer Fridays
Did you know UV rays are stronger on planes? I always wear this because it's completely invisible (no white cast!) and acts as a great makeup primer. The mini size is perfect for your liquids bag.
Supergoop!Mini Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50 Invisible Sun Protection for Face
This is my secret weapon for looking fresh after a long flight. One spritz wakes up my skin, tightens pores, and gives me a glow before I step off the plane. It feels like a mini spa moment in economy class.
Caudalie Mini Beauty Elixir Prep, Set, Glow Face Mist
Greasy travel hair is the worst. This dry shampoo actually cleans your hair without leaving that chalky white residue. It gives my hair volume and smells incredible.

Finally, a neck pillow that actually supports your head. I love that this one has a hood attached—it blocks out the light and gives you privacy so you can actually sleep on the plane
Hooded Travel Neck Pillows - Cozy & Comfortable
The perfect 'personal item' bag. It slides right over my suitcase handle so I don't have to carry it. It fits my laptop, snacks, and water bottle easily, and the canvas material is super durable.
Custom Logo Canvas Weekend Bag
You need to stay hydrated when traveling. The Owala is the best because the straw is built-in (no tilting your head back!). It keeps water ice-cold for 24 hours, which is a lifesaver at the beach or on tours.
Owala : Water Bottles
Tangled chargers are a nightmare. This organizer holds my phone charger, laptop cable, and headphones neatly. It looks super aesthetic and keeps my tech safe.
Leather Cord Pouch
Essential for blocking out cabin lights or adjusting to jet lag in a bright hotel room. Silk is gentle on the delicate skin around your eyes and doesn't leave sleep marks on your face
