download offline maps of your destination in case service is spotty. grab apps for local transport, currency conversion, or translation—future you will thank you.
make a packing list (and stick to it)
a game-changer for staying organized. write down everything you plan to bring, from clothing to toiletries to electronics. this will keep you on track and prevent you from scrambling at the last minute. as you pack, check off items so nothing gets left behind.
clean your brushes and makeup sponges
do it before you leave so you’re not packing bacteria-covered beauty tools. plus, it’s so satisfying to come back to them fresh and ready to use.
plan your outfits (and keep it simple)
lay out your outfits ahead of time. go for pieces that mix and match easily, and try to stick to a color palette so everything works together. it’ll save space (and stress).
prepare travel-size toiletries
pour your favorite products into mini containers or buy travel-size versions. it saves space, and you’ll still feel like yourself on the road.
charge all devices
charge everything before you leave. bring a portable charger, cords, and a universal adapter if you’re going abroad. stay powered up.
bring something to do on the plane
download movies, bring a book, get a playlist ready, or pack a journal. headphones = non-negotiable.
pack a travel day kit
snacks, lip balm, headphones, a travel pillow, gum, hand sanitizer—just a little kit that makes long flights or train rides feel less terrible.
