I’ve been to all seven continents, jumped in the Antarctic Ocean, space trained in France, moseyed down the Great Wall of China, bungee jumped in Australia, and landed on a glacier in New Zealand. Basically, you name it, I’ve done it. And these days, there are essential things I need to do “it” (travel, that is) to streamline the experience. Take a look at what I’ll never leave home without for an international trip.
This tote looks chic and literally fits everything that you can cram in last minute — essential if you refuse to pack a checked bag, as I do.
Apple AirtagsYou can track your luggage wherever it goes — for peace of mind, or for those times when airlines lose it. You’ll neer have to stress again.
111 Skin Cryo De-Pufffing Eye Mask The gold standard. Put these babies on during a long-haul flight before bed and you’ll wake up looking rested. I promise.
The Jet Lag Essentials Kit Summer FridaysDiscover our award-winning Jet Lag Collection with four on-the-go minis to refresh, hydrate and soothe skin wherever you are.
Bose QuietComfort EarbudsThese babies deliver the same noise-canceling relief (essential regardless of WHAT noise it is — including your neighbor’s snoring) without messing up your hair. A win!
Beis The Carry-On RollerShay Mitchell’s travel brand gets it right on so many levels. This suitcase has pockets, a scale to tell you if it’s overweight, and a padded handle. It fits absolutely everything for a week-long trip; and there’s even an international-sized version as well. The most effective luggage I’ve ever used.
You’ll need an adaptor to use this overseas, but it’s worth it as there’s no chance your hair can singe off, and it makes getting ready on the go a breeze.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream, Travel Size
One of the best moisturizers to prevent your skin from getting that paper-like plane feel — and it supports cellular renewal thanks to the brand’s proprietary TFC8 complex.
The Skinny Confidential The Hot Mess Ice RollerIf you’re chronically plane puffy, this awesome device is an extra preventative measure to combat it in-air using the power of cold therapy to contour, tighten and de-puff your skin.
Ellis Brooklyn Bee travel perfumeEllis Brooklyn makes the absolute best travel-sized perfumes, though it’s hard to beat the Bee — a heady scent of honey warmed with dark rum and loaded with the addictive notes of vanilla bean, sandalwood, and cocoa absolute that will have you sniffing yourself all day long. (And you might need to on the plane).
Evie RingThe Oura isn’t the only game in town. Meet Evie, the jewelry you need day and night to accurately monitor sleep, activity, temperature, heart rate, and more — essential for changes to your schedule when traveling.
