2023 Summer Travel Products Guide
Summer travel is here. I’ve discovered the following items to help my travels stay secure, organized, refreshed and ready to go. Here are my favorites to take to Los Cabos and the Galápagos Islands this summer.

The Ultimate Travel Bag

1. CONMIGO ULTI Messenger Bag is touted as ‘the anti-theft, anti-fatigue, and the anti-boring travel bag.’ It’s a stylish tote that offers everything you need to keep your items safe and organized for on-the-go. Here’s what I like about the ULTI Messenger Tote when I travel:

ULTI Messenger Tote

 
  • Trolley sleeve that allows you to effortlessly slide the ULTI Messenger Tote over the handle of a rolling suitcase, making transport a breeze.
  • Lightweight only 3.7 pounds.
  • The seat cushion attached to the bag to sit on while your bag stays safe behind your legs on an airplane or hard subway or metro seat.
  • Airline Under Seat Size Compliant- 16.5 x 13.5 x7.5″
  • TSA-approved detachable electronic portfolio. The padded electronics sleeve holds a 13″ device. Main padded compartment holds a 17″ device.
  • Made with a water resistant shell.
  • Built in cell phone compartment on the shoulder strap.
  • Built in seat cushion allows you to neatly and securely tuck your bag under your legs while waiting in airports, on trains, and more
  • It’s a minority, woman-owned company that is determined to improve travel and the world. With each purchase CONMIGO is donating a portion from each sale of the ULTI Messenger Tote bag to the American Veterinary Medical Foundation.

BEAUTY REGIME 

2. KAI offers travel friendly products that are sized for TSA-approval. Their intoxicating gardenia scent keeps you refreshed when you use the shampoo and conditioner, body wash bathing bubbles and body lotion.  

Sold in exclusive boutiques and spas around the world, it’s a cult favorite for many celebrities including Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and Mila Kunis. All products are vegan, cruelty-free and formulated without sulfates, paragons, gluten, phosphates, aluminum, micro-beads and phthalates. The kai travel set is $49.

Giving back to those in need, kai teamed up with the jimmy miller memorial foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to help people affected by mental illness to experience the joy of surfing and the healing powers of the ocean. kai has committed to donating a portion of the sale proceeds to this organization to support the healing of mental and physical illness and the protection, preservation, appreciation, and safe enjoyment of the oceans, beaches, and marine environment.

ANTI-AGING WHILE TRAVELING

3. Timeless skin care

Summer weather leads to skin breakouts. Some notice an increase in oil and sweat due to humidity and warmer temperatures, while others notice that summer air and sun can cause dry skin. Hyaluronic Acid can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it the number one, go-to ingredient for hydration.

Peaceful Sleep is scientifically formulated with nutrients to support calmness, and relaxation to help fall asleep faster when you experience jet lag and increase your sleep time. Here’s why I like Chewsy:

  • More good for you nutrients than traditional gummies. No artificial colors or flavors.
  • One simple chew per serving, with only 3 grams of sugar. Filled with fruits and vegetable to provide vitamins and minerals.
  • Individually wrapped to stay sanitary, won’t clump together in your travel bag.
