Hi ladies, happy Friday! I won’t lie, this is a post I’ve been meaning to write for, well, let’s just say, a while. It’s been in my drafts/on my calendar since maybe even before the pandemic? Needless to say, it’s been a long time coming and I was so excited and motivated to finally put it together for you girls because I feel like I’m actually doing some traveling again! After my recent trip to Rome I knew it was time to finally pull this list together and it’s a good one! It’s truly a reflection of my own personal checklist of everything I have to have before I hop on a plane. I hope it’s helpful and gets you excited for your next trip!

I’m going to highlight a few of these items, but can we first just take a minute to appreciate this color palette? I mean, I feel like it’s me in a graphic, lol. Even with simple items and travel accessories I always seem to gravitate toward pinks and neutrals! Speaking of pink, I have to mention these packing cubes. If you’re not a packing cube girl yet, add these to your cart and never look back! I’ve been using them for years and just recently upgraded to this set and absolutely love them. I mentioned them in this post and shared I also bought a set for John and Louie!

If you’re in the market to upgrade your luggage, I cannot recommend this brand enough. I’ve had mine for years and they’re so lightweight yet durable. As for onboard essentials, y’all have been loving this tote, which is an oldie but a goodie. A large tote in general is just 100% necessary so you can fit a good lip balm, portable charger, the cutest water bottle, and all the other bits that help make travel more comfortable! Oh, and most importantly, don’t forget to wear something that’s comfortable! My go-to’s are oversized dresses or chic sweatsuits like this one!

Ready to hop on a plane and go somewhere?! I hope so! I can’t wait to keep traveling more this year and to share even more of my travel hacks, especially now that I’m a mom! Stay tuned for so much more! xo.
