Hi! Welcome to my blog. If you are planning on taking a trip soon you’ve come to the right place! Today I’m going to talk about things you should have for your next vacation to make it more enjoyable! Some items may not be for everyone, and that’s ok!

I hope this helps you in deciding what you need (or don’t) for your next vacation!

Let’s dive in!

First things first, of course you need a good luggage set.

A good luggage set is important because you want to be able to protect your belongings from getting wet or damaged. So many times fabric suitcases don’t protect your items from getting wet and are easier to get crushed because there is no hard shell. I love this set from Amazon because it is a good price for a set of 3, and it has a hard shell to protect our belongings. I think my favorite feature about them is that you can lock the suitcase. Keeping your items secure on the plane, in your hotel, etc.

Going along with that is luggage tags.

Luggage tags are important to have incase you lose your luggage and the airlines or someone who finds it can identify that it belongs to you. A pro tip that I like to do is get a luggage tag that is a very bright or neon color/pattern to easily identify your luggage in the baggage claim. It’s much easier to spot incase someone has the same luggage as you and that way they will know it’s not theres as well.

Next, travel size makeup wipes.

Maybe it’s just me but I love taking travel makeup wipes instead of lugging the whole pack with me on my trips. It allows me to take the perfect amount and take up a lot less space. Plus, these will never dry out since they are wrapped individually instead of in a pack that is just sealed with a sticker.

You can find them at Target and other places like that but here they are on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3sKNPdZ

Another good thing to have is laundry bags.

I love having these to keep track of what is clean and what is dirty during and when I come home from my trips. Instead of having things all over the hotel room you can just throw your dirty undergarments and clothes in the laundry bags. Super easy to unload and put them straight into the washer when you get home too!

Travel toothbrush!

Very helpful to have a travel toothbrush since it is compact and easy to pack. Especially these ones since they fold up your toothbrush head is covered. Protecting it from germs and also if it is wet and you need to leave but don’t want to put a wet toothbrush in your bag this works great!

Something to help with bug bites.

Even if you don’t think you will get bug bites it doesn’t hurt to bring something! I know i’ve been on trips where I didn’t expect to get any bug bites but I did! However, I HATE wearing bug spray. I hate the smell and the feeling of it so I needed something else. I found “The Bug Bite Thing”. I still don’t understand how it works but it does, and well too. It’s super simple, fast, painless, and relieves itching right away!

Lastly, we all love taking photos on our vacations so bring a tripod!

Honestly I hate going out of my way to find and ask strangers to take photos of me and my husband and 90% of the time I don’t even like how it turns out. You don’t need a camera to have a tripod, there are plenty for phones too! This tripod is so nice to have because it is compact and small and can easily fit in your luggage. It also comes with a remote to make it easy to snap some pictures quick. The remote is super helpful so you don’t have to run back and forth setting timers!
