6 Things Women Will Want to Pack in their Carry-On

Winter break is coming up soon!  Are you planning to use that time to escape the chaos of every day life and embark upon an exciting adventure?  Whether you decide to head south for the warmer weather or take advantage of the seasonal activities that winter has to offer, packing smart will make things more comfortable and convenient.  Here’s a short list of TSA-approved items that you’ll want to include the next time you’re packing a carry-on bag.

MyCharge HubPlus

If there’s anyone who needs to make sure she’s connected even when she’s on vacation, it’s Mom.  You’re responsible for coordinating most things, so it’s essential that your phone be ready when needed.  And when your child’s tablet dies in the middle of a flight, you’re the one who is expected to come to the rescue. The myCharge Hub series has some of my very favorite portable chargers because they’ve got the cables built right in!

Their HubPlus 6700mAh charger includes an integrated Apple Lightning cable and micro-USB cable, so you never have to worry about losing them or forgetting them.  For added convenience, you also get an extra USB port for charging any USB device, and you can charge all three devices at once.  Plug it right into the wall to recharge, and you can even charge your devices at the same time you’re recharging the HubPlus.  It works up to 65% faster than competitors, and you can generally get a few charges out of it before you need to plug it in again.  To top it all off, it’s lightweight and compact enough to fit into your purse or other carry-on bag, so you can easily keep your devices powered up anywhere you go.

ZizzyBee Bags

These are amazing for organizing just about anything!  Seriously.  Use them for makeup; other toiletries; snacks; small toys for the kids; sunscreens; tech stuff like headphones, chargers, and cables, and anything else you can think of.  Me?  I travel with an assortment of hair brushes and combs (don’t ask), and I love this bag for keeping them all together.  The lightweight mesh material allows you to easily see what’s inside, and the zipper keeps items securely in place.  It comes in two sizes, and both have a handle that doubles as a hook.  There’s no end to how ZizzyBee bags can help you stay organized (and sane), but what really makes them special is that they’re also eco-friendly because they’re reusable, washable, and BPA and phthalate-free.  You’ll get these for traveling, and then you’ll find yourself using them all the time when you’re home.  They’re so handy to have, and they come in an assortment of fun colors and patterns.

Tree Hut Travel Kit

Don’t neglect your skin just because you’re away from home.  Take your beauty routine with you and keep your skin healthy, refreshed, and hydrated with the Tree Hut Coconut Lime Travel Kit.  You get a Moisturizing Body Wash, Shea Body Butter, Sugar Body Scrub, and an Extra-Rich Moisturizing Lotion in cute, mini travel sizes that fit into their own zip-up case.  (I especially love that the sugar scrub for keeping my elbows and feet in good condition!)  Each contains organic shea butter to deliver non-greasy moisture for soft, smooth skin no matter where your journey takes you.  Like all Tree Hut skincare products, this kit is made in the USA with only the best natural ingredients.

Simply Summer’s Eve Cleansing Cloths

The ability to stay fresh when you’re on the go can really brighten your whole day, but you don’t want to trust any old products with those sensitive areas.  Simply Summer’s Eve Cleansing Cloths are specially formulated to help maintain a natural pH and wipe away odor-causing bacteria, and they do that without any harsh chemicals, dyes, alcohol, or parabens.  The ingredients are simple so that you can feel good about what you’re putting on your body.  Available in Coconut Water & Mandarin Blossom scents, and in two sizes.  There’s a 24-count soft pack, but the 14-count package of individually wrapped cloths are ideal for traveling.

Dramamine Non-Drowsy Naturals

Motion sickness can ruin a trip, whether you’re traveling by car, boat, train, or plane.  Being knocked out from medication to prevent motion sickness isn’t much fun either.  You’re probably familiar with the Dramamine brand, but did you know that they now offer a natural, NON-DROWSY formula?  It contains a full clinical dose of ginger to prevent and relieve the nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness, and it doesn’t leave you with that fuzzy, “off” kind of feeling that other options can cause.   With this natural formula, you’ll be awake and ready to fully enjoy whatever adventures await you.
