Hello, beautiful people! When I travel, there are a few must-have travel essentials that I have to have with me. It’s not a life or death situation, but I refuse to travel without them. I like to carry these items because they are essential for me when I am away from home. I carry them everytime I go away and I am going to explain the what and why’s of each product! Let’s begin shall we?
Camera. I have to have my camera with me. If you don’t know, I am a blogger and vlogger so I love capturing the beautiful things around me. Yes, you will remember what you did and where you went, but nothing beats capturing the moments in action. I carry my Canon camera around as well as my vlogging camera, which is the Sony a5000.
A Good Read. I love listening to music especially when I’m on the airplane or working out. But reading helps make the time go by fast as well. Usually, I will pick up a magazine from the Hudson News Stand or Walmart if I remember the day before. I’ve been wanting to read Steve Harvey’s “Jump” book for a while. I saw it on the stand at the airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico and had to get it. It is so inspiring and full of knowledge and wisdom for those who are looking to take a leap of faith. I’m halfway through and it’s very insightful.
Apple Watch. I carry my apple watch with me everywhere because I track my steps daily. I make it a daily goal to take 5,000+ steps a day. If I didn’t, that means I wasn’t active that day so it pushes me to stay active daily. Plus it’s like my backup phone when I don’t feel like pulling out my phone.
Wallet. Of course, I have to make sure my wallet is with me. I may come across something I like and want to buy so I make sure I have that on me. I also love this wallet because I can leave my big purse behind and carry this around as my clutch.
Water. I have to have water on me. I carry around water in my purse everywhere I go lol. My goal is to drink 64+ oz. of water daily because I have to stay hydrated and it is really good for my hair and skin. I try to remember to keep it closed before going through TSA but I get so thirsty before that I forget and have to throw it away. So you know what I do, go through TSA and purchase another one lol. But seriously, I love water and I keep with me always while traveling. Even at restaurants. Not only is it free there, but it’s good for you!
Stool Softener. Now, I know you are like “Girl, why are you telling us this?” Well, I don’t want to lie and act like I don’t carry this with me when I travel. It’s simply because when I go to different places, I am trying new foods. Sometimes, it’s hard for my body to process and break it down so it stays in me and makes me feel and look full. There was somebody who asked if I was pregnant one time on vacation. I told them no of course, but in my mind, I was like, “no fool, I’m just backed up.” I don’t like that feeling and it usually makes me feel miserable so I take those to help flush me out and make me feel better again!
Shades. Journal. Beats. EOS Balm. Those are my miscellaneous items that I must take. I can’t stand being away or at the gym without headphones. You know I got to make sure my lips stay moisturized especially in different climates. I like to protect my eyes from the sun. And I love journaling about my day, writing down my thoughts and prayers, and making sure I don’t forget to do something by writing it down.
These are a few of my must-have items to take. Let me know what are some of your must-have items to take.
