    Book It! Series | Amazon Travel Essentials.

    These are some of my must-have travel essentials from Amazon.

    Stylin’ Sunnies: These sunnies are SO cute, versatile and such a good value under $15, so you don’t need to feel too bad if they get lost or broken by a toddler.

    All-In-One Travel Charger: This charger has been a game-changer. It charges your iPhone, Apple Watch and Airpods all at once (and very fast). It’s greatly reduced the bulky cords and plug-ins that I was previously carrying. A MUST HAVE!

    Collapsible Storage Tote: We use this tote ALL the time. It’s great for day-to-day (errands, road trip entertainment, soccer practice, etc. etc.), but also a great travel tote, as it collapses, so easy to stick into a suitcase pocket to use while you’re away.

    Dyson AirWrap Travel Case: I am obsessed with my AirWrap, which makes it hard to travel without it. The case it came with is beautiful, but unfortunately very bulky and sitting idle on a closet shelf. Previously, I was throwing all the attachments into a random bag and packing the AirWrap on its own, BUT this case holds it all and keeps my beloved investment safe.

    Packing Cubes: Ever since I started using packing cubes, I haven’t looked back. We have cubes in a few different colors, which makes it easy to differentiate between family members clothing when we’re all traveling together. They help keep everything organized, consolidated and you can easily throw them into drawers if you’re somewhere for a longer period and want to “move in” a bit. I also get weird about hotel drawers, so they act as a little barrier for you fellow germaphobes out there.

    Silicone Makeup Brush Holder: I used to work for a makeup brush company, so I have a ton of brushes and have used ALL the options for travel. This is by far the best holder I’ve found. It’s silicone, so easy to clean and it’s very lightweight (don’t need to waste my poundage on a makeup brush holder)! It’s large enough to hold the essentials, but not too large where you find yourself packing brushes you likely won’t need. Really helps you think through what is actually necessary to travel with!

    Compact Vitamin Organizer: LOVE this compact little organizer. I can fit a stash of meds and my vitamins in here vs. throwing the bottles into a bag.

    Luggage Scale: This is 100% a necessity for me. I maximize ALL the space and weight when I travel, so I need to know exactly how much I am working with to avoid the airport shuffle. The airport is already stressful enough, so avoid showing your fellow passengers your underwear in the check-in line 🙂

    Travel Toothbrush: I use a regular Sonicare at home, but it’s a little bulky to travel with. Enter the Sonicare One. It’s very slender and packs well, so you don’t have to sacrifice your dental health on the road.

    Note: I am a member of the Amazon Associates program and get a small cut of any sale purchased through my Amazon links.
