You Can’t Leave Home Without It

Just a few quick things that you don't want to travel without.

You Can't Leave Home Without It 1

1. Comfy Shoes

If your family is like mine, then you probably get more steps in on vacation than any other time. For me the perfect pair of flip flops is a must.  I've tried several but nothing holds up to my Vionics. Designed by a podiatrist with orthaheel technology it provides such comfort that they have replaced most of my flip flops.

2. Jewelry Case

When packing my clothes I always try to organize my jewelry with each outfit and when that doesn't work, I use to throw it all in my luggage only to get angry when it is tangled when I arrived. I love this jewelry case, the magbag, because it comes it various sizes and holds so much despite being thin as a magazine.

3. Sunscreen

Never leave home without protecting your skin. I love raw shea butter but you can't carry a tub of it around. I was happy to discover Nature's Gate Sun care. Fragrance free, paraben free, phthalate free, oxybenzone free, and cruelty free- basically free of everything that you don't want on your family. I love how easy it is to apply and that it actually hydrates the skin.

4. Travel Towel

The Discovery Trekking Extreme Ultralite is a towel, blanket, sun-protective sarong and more. This quickly drying silky towel is perfect for when you don't have a cover up and want to pop into a restaurant for a quick bite. It doesn't attract sand, so you will not need to worry about bringing sand into your room or car. I love that I can use it repeatedly without having to worry about any musty smells thanks to the odor control fabric.

5. Protect your luggage
