Home Away From Home: Must-Have Items While on the Go.
Whether experiencing new places or old favorites, traveling is always an excellent way to enjoy what is arguably the best season of the year, summer. Sometimes trying to pack all your comforts of home is not feasible due to weight restraints, especially when flying or space when traveling by other means. Some of these travel items could make your next trip(s) feel like you still have everything you use at home while traveling.
Hotels and Air BnB provide clean towels, but it’s not enough, particularly for those who wear makeup. After check-in, you likely have to request extra towels, right? Clean Skin Club towels are disposable washcloths perfect for facial cleansing and makeup removal plus they’re lightweight, which means they can easily be packed in checked luggage or carry-on. These washcloths can increase the hygiene of your face (and body) cleansing process because they are single-use products. The double cleanse is vital when removing makeup, particularly long-wear foundation on top of sunscreen (because sun protection is a must) and the other products you use on your face. These are also useful for athletes (hello sports moms!) after those long game days to freshen up before getting on the road home and then toss it in the trash; a little less dirt in your car. This product is environmentally friendly, so you don’t have to feel bad about their one time use. When you can have convenience and “climate pledge friendly,” it’s easily an add-to-cart moment! You deserve ease while traveling for leisure or hauling kiddos here, there and everywhere. Technology is not the only thing that is a conduit for convenience; other products lend assistance, allowing you to enjoy and focus on being present.
Another great travel item is a stainless steel tumbler with a lid that completely closes. Add collapsible stainless steel straw plus a carrying case for extra points! Sidebar: many restaurants and bars are transitioning either to no straws or paper straws which is fantastic for the planet, not so much for the customer. Stainless steel tumblers allow for flexibility and necessity since you can use it for hot and cold beverages and can throw it in your personal bag, empty, of course, if traveling via plane and need to go through nobody’s favorite, TSA, or filled with your favorite mocktail or cocktail. This must-have item is friendly for environments like the beach or ballpark for those early mornings or late nights. Plus, you guessed it, it counts as environmentally conscious since it is washable (heads up, these are NOT typically dishwasher safe) and reusable. When staying in a hotel or other lodgings, having your cup comes in clutch because you know it’s clean and keeps your beverage at a desirable temperature. The little things can yield a significant impact especially, when traveling! These little things allow you to bring some of the luxuries of home with you on journeys while maintaining your peace of mind.
Safe travels!
