CARRY-ON COMFORTS
-
I love this shawl—it’s one of my most-used travel companions. It works beautifully as an evening wrap, a cozy blanket on the plane, or even a makeshift pillow or lumbar support during long travel days. Lightweight yet warm, it rolls up small and always lives in my carry-on.
-
Self-Inflating with Memory Foam: This compact seat cushion has become one of my go-to travel comforts. It’s perfect for long flights when you need a little extra softness in your seat or some gentle lumbar support. Lightweight and easy to fold, it fits easily into your carry-on.
-
I always keep a few of these magnesium drink packets in my travel kit. They help me unwind after long days and ease muscle tension—especially helpful for sleep and preventing leg cramps after flights.
-
With Washable Cover and Carrying Case: This neck pillow is a staple in my carry-on. It inflates quickly, adjusts to the support you need, and then deflates to fit neatly back into its compact carrying case. I love that it comes with a case and a washable cover.
-
Washable and Travel-Friendly: I recently started using this heated eye mask to help with my dry, watery eyes—and it’s quickly become part of my wind-down routine. It’s gentle, cordless, and deeply relaxing, especially after a day of travel or screen time.

TRAVEL TECH

These are incredibly useful for keeping track of your essentials while traveling. I use them in my luggage, purse, and passport holder to give me peace of mind in airports and crowded areas.
-
With Dual USB & USB-C Ports: This adapter set worked perfectly on our recent trip to Europe. It’s compact but powerful, with dual USB, USB-C, and two U.S. outlets, so we could charge multiple devices at once. It includes plug types for Europe, Asia, Australia, Japan, and more, making it a reliable choice for international travel.
-
Magnetic & Adjustable: This slim, foldable tripod is perfect for taking group photos while traveling—no need to ask strangers or prop your phone against a water bottle. A small but super useful tool for solo or group adventures.
