12 Carry-On Essentials

Hello everyone! The summer is finally here, and with that comes (hopefully) many summer vacations! I am heading to Italy with my lovely Mimi and Mom and have been getting my bags ready for the last few days. Our trip starts the minute we land so there’s no time to handle the jet lag. Stay fresh, organized, and most importantly, entertained for any flight with my list of carry-on essentials…

1. Fossil Preston Large Backpack in Seaglass- I just got this bag for graduation and I am already obsessed! It’s the perfect size and comes in great summer colors.
2. Yves Saint Laurent ‘L’Homme’ Travel Set- Although L’Homme translates directly to, “the man” this scent has been my go-to since high school (and does not smell manly at all!).
3. GoPro Hero 4
4. Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo Travel Size- My hair always seems to exit the plane a little greasier than when I got on, freshen up your locks with this dry shampoo.
5. Mophie Juice Pack Air- Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal…whatever your streaming preference is, keep your beats alive all flight long with double the battery power.
6. Powerbeats 2 Wireless Headphones- Why be bothered with a wire? Rumor has it the newest iPhone will not have a headphone port and will rely entirely on wireless headphones- get yours before the rest 😉
7. Erin Condren LifePlanner– I can’t go anywhere without it!
8. RayBan Round Frames– Airports may be the only place where wearing sunnies inside is acceptable (especially for those early morning flights).
9. Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus- Keep your lips soft and hydrated with a light tint.
10. Snag Free Hair Ties
11. S’well 17oz in Gold- You’re going to have to balance out the free wine with some water, might as well be cold! 
12. Amazon Kindle (newest model here)- I inherited my very elderly kindle from my Mimi, but the newest versions are even better and not too pricey!

I’m beyond excited for this trip! Check back soon for posts on my Italian adventure. If anyone has any tips for traveling to Italy or there own carry-on essentials please leave a comment 🙂

……….

Happy Travels!
