Who doesn’t love to travel ?! I LOVE to travel. I think just knowing that I have no real life adult obligations the following day is my favorite part of traveling. I get to indulge into leisure activities, I get to sleep, I get to take pictures, I get to eat, ….I mean what else could a girl ask for?! Lol . but on a serious note, I get to tap into my inner wallflower and take in the parts of the world that others miss, creating new memories and experiences.

Before I list off my must- haves let me drop some facts for you guys.
♡ I travel very often
♡ I only like tropical vacations
♡ Delta is my favorite airline
♡ I’ve only checked a suitcase once lol
♡ I’ve never missed a flight because I was late to the airport
Moving on, as do most people there are some things I cannot travel without. You know like cereal with no milk, lips with no lip-gloss, life without nursing? Yeah, like die hard necessities !
♡ Chapstick/lip-gloss
· Let me let you in on something, my lips are NEVER dry. I cannot travel anywhere without my chapstick and lip-gloss. Not even to the bathroom okay? Also my chapstick of choice never changes and it’s the Burt's Bees Original Beeswax. Sometimes I switch up my lip-glosses but I always return back to my favorite which is the clear lipgloss from elf.
♡ Blanket
· So this is a little weird.
i. I only like tropical vacations, but I hate the summertime
ii. Winter is my favorite season but I’m always cold
So with that being said, no matter where I’m traveling my pink blanket is always with me because I’m always cold, especially on airplanes. I actually got mine from five and below for $5 but it looks like its sold out so I hyperlinked one very similar to mine from target for just 4 extra bucks 🙂
♡ Laptop
· Take my phone , take my wallet, take me, but please leave my laptop. The MacBook I have is the rose gold MacBook air, but as I was writing this blog I discovered it was discontinued 😲
♡ Facial cleanser
· For the past year I’ve been using a facial wash called The Amber Glow Cleanser, from a spa located in Atlanta called The Art Of Beauty Spa. This cleanser is my favorite! it doesn’t leave my skin stripped of its natural oils (because I already have dry skin), its scent free and it literally has helped me keep my face as clear as a sunny day. So when traveling, I pour some into a travel container and bada bing bada boom.
♡ Head-tie /Scarf
· This is simple. My 👏🏽 edges 👏🏽 need👏🏽 to👏🏽 be👏🏽laid👏🏽 sis. On the plane, off the plane, in the clouds, in bed etc etc. you catch my drift. This one I got from my local beauty supply store but i linked one from Target for you guys.
♡ Eyelashes/Brows
. Unless I'm traveling with my friends, I typically don't like to do makeup. So I always make sure i have my brow products and eyelashes ON DECK okay ?! I use KerlaMarieBeauty lashes style "1993" and Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade in "ebony". With those two, I'm Unstoppable!
♡ Headphones
· Only because if I don’t have them I’m more annoyed than anything. I’m not necessarily always listening to something, but my ears feel completely naked without them. I need to upgrade to ear pods real soon, but I still haven’t completely rationalized the price in my head so im still rocking the traditional headphones haha
♡ Slides
· I know most people like to travel and look cute but I am not one of them honey. Plus, keeping it real, there’s no in between with me. I’m either completely glamorous or horribly homeless. And when I’m traveling a bodysuit/leggings , hoodie and slides are perfect for me. I have all different types of slides; leather, fur, pink, designer, flimsy etc etc. The ones tagged here are pretty old so I couldn't find the exact link, but I found some similar ones just different color.
Well there you have it folks. My 8 travel must-haves. Everything else that’s not listed are either not important to me (like a neck pillow) or obvious necessities (like money).
What are some of your must- haves ?
