After a cold, long and dark Canadian winter, the sun and warm weather is finally here. And you know what that means; summer vacation! But with any super-awesome summer getaway you mustn’t forget about travel essentials.
These things can come in handy at any part of your trip and hint hint, they may even allow you to pack less! These travel essentials will help you leave the overbearing luggage at home and let you enjoy your vacation to the max!
This travel essential includes bringing sample size products of all of your favorite makeup products. Brining full sized products is just a waste of space and it’s a guarantee that you won’t be needing an entire bottle of your favorite foundation.
Instead, hold on to the samples you get throughout the year. Sample perfumes, lipsticks and face products are very common and come in a large enough size to last you your trip.
Brining these smaller products also allows you to bring a couple of options of each because you have the space. If you don’t have a smaller version of your favorite, buy travel containers from the dollar store and bring your product in that or simply ask for a sample at your local beauty store.
Depending on where you’re hitting up for your vacay, you might not be able to drink tap water. There are many countries around the world that require people to drink either bottled or boiled water.
To save the cost of buying a water bottle every time you leave your hotel to explore the magnificent city you’re in, bring a foldable water bottle from home. This travel essential will save you money and space. Double win!
Cleansing wipes are the perfect travel essential because there’s so much you can do with them. You can wipe you face, hands and even the germy food table by your seat. Pro tip: get scented wipes to help you get in the vacation mood.
If you’re travelling to a warm destination, then a maxi dress is a must keep travel essential. The beauty of this item is that it can be worn in many different ways. It can be dressed down if paired with a denim jacket, made to look semi-formal with a cute pair of heels, jewelry and done-up hair.
It’s also perfect for the beach (even as a cover up) and is perfect for a midnight stroll. Why wouldn’t you want to pack a travel essential that can do so much?
To continue with the trend of versatility, another travel essential is white sneakers. Like the maxi dress, they can be worn with many different outfits and are the perfect, classy looking addition to your days look.
