I am so excited! It has been years since I have gone on a week long Vacay! Let me just say it is much needed! I wanted to share with y’all some of my must have travel essentials. Having an autoimmune diesels I bring a lot of different stuff for different reasons.
Also will be including some ways to save money and other travel tips at the end!
Must Have Travel Products:
- Neck pillow! especially with my autoimmune, I do not travel with out this!
- Liquid IV! This is another item I need for my autoimmune, but also its super important to stay hydrated while traveling!
- Water bottle! I always bring a refillable water bottle with me on all my trips!
- Make up case. This is an amazon find! I got it for Christmas and its so good! Holds all my make up!
- Portable charger. This is super important and I highly recommend bringing one with you

- Packing squares! Okay I cannot say enough good things about these! Helped keep you suit case organized!
- Jewelry travel case! Mine was given to me a s a gift. But I linked a smilier one! I don’t travel without this!
Packing:
Okay when I am packing I aways Make a list first, I write down what I want to bring with me. Including mediations, accessories, shoes, food, etc.
TIP: When Packing keep outfits together if you can. This will help you while your on your trip.
When I first begin to pack. I will lay all of the outfits out on my bad. Making sure they all are complete! Shoes, jewelry, accessories, and proper undergarments etc.! This way I know I have a complete outfit for each day!
TIP:Remember you can re-wear jeans and leggings! This will save you some room when packing!
I usually start by putting all my undergarments, socks, belts and other accessories in the top zipper pouch of my suitcase. Then I just start to lay the outfits in the suit case. Once all the outfits are in I will lay my shoes and bags that I am bring with me.
TIP: Lay shoes flat and into each other. Like the some in the shoe box.
Once I am done with that I will start to add in my makeup case, Jewelry case, any other beauty or cosmetic item Is need.
TIP: be sure to put any kind of liquid in a baggie, so if it does leak it doesn’t get all over.
