WHAT’S IN MY CARRY ON BAG – HEALTH AND BEAUTY EDITION

I’m currently sitting inside Caffe Nero at the airport, waiting for my sister to arrive so we can push start on our annual family trip! Another pinch me moment. I feel so lucky that my sister and I both have jobs that allow for traveling as often as we do, and getting to take mom with us is just another big bonus! I remember the day I got hired as a flight attendant, the first thing I thought of was how excited I was to give back to my mom and everything she’s sacrificed for me and my sister. /FEELS.

So today, I wanted to show you guys what I packed in my carry on – health and beauty related. Let’s jump in!

  1. Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Paper Mask
    • What better time to use a face mask than on a 10 hour flight? And with sheet masks, you’ve got no clean up!
  2. Cocokind Skincare Matcha and Turmeric Sticks
    • Matcha is great for your undereye area, especially after a long flight. I also love using it as lip balm and on dry patches, as well as on my cuticles. The turmeric stick is amazing for skin recovery. While the cabin’s dark, paint your face with this yellow magic wand and remove with a wet cotton pad 30 min. later. Pro tip: I like to leave mine on longer, mostly cause I hate going into the lavatory. Ha!
  3. Kiehl’s Cactus Flower & Tibetan Ginseng Hydrating Mist
    • Officially my holy grail. I had a stuffy nose and EVERYTHING felt so dry and so uncomfortable. With a few spritz of this guy, I immediately felt so much better.
  4. Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream
    • I like to pack heavier moisturizers for flights. Your skin will thank you for it later!
  5. Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Corrector Serum
    • Skincare is so important, especially on long flights. Perfect time to pack on serums, especially since I don’t wear makeup on long flights.
  6. Sunday Riley C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum
    • See above!
  7. Clear Eyes Triple Action Eye Drops
    • I also have a case of dry eyes, so you better believe these are a MUST on flights.
  8. Murad Rapid Relief Spot Treatment
    • When I’m breaking out, I like to dab on a spot treatment in needed areas. This guy was my life saver this flight.
  9. The Honest Company Hand Sanitizer 
    • I think this one’s self explanatory!
  10. Tony Moly Magic Food Banana Hand Milk
    • I make it a habit to use hand cream after every hand wash. The hand soap on airplanes are super drying!
  11. Supergoop! Mint Fusion Lip Balm
    • Always a good idea to lather your lips with a good lip balm when flying.
  12. C.O. Bigelow Mouthwash
    • Packing travel size mouthwash for a quick pick me up is always a good thing. No regrets, that’s for sure!

Notes:

  • Being inflight is SO DRYING. Make sure to pack lots of moisturizers and balms for your skin and lips.
  • Try to avoid wearing makeup if you can, so you can really pamper yourself with a skincare regimen.
  • Now is a good time to bring those samples  you’ve been meaning to try! I get a ton of samples from my Sephora Play monthly subscription box and I love bringing serums and creams from my boxes. It’s easy to dispose of and will lighten your load throughout your trip.

  1. Healthy Human Life Water Bottle
    • Always bring a reusable water bottle! Not only are you doing good for the environment but, life hack: you can always ask your flight attendant to fill your water up for you. Free water beats $5 water bottles at the airport. I love that mine can double up as a blender bottle as well!

  2. Rootz Nutrition Paleo Protein-Superfood mixed with Further Food Collagen Peptides
    • Being on the go means it’s harder to get all your nutrients in. That’s why I love combining my favorite protein powder (contains SO MANY superfoods) plus collagen peptides for more protein and benefits. Rootz Nutrition coupon code: KALEINTHECLOUDS & Further Food coupon code: KALEINTHECLOUDS10
  3. Eating Evolved Coconut Butter Cups
    • My favorite chocolate! Perfect sweet treat with minimal ingredients. Makes resisting candy at the airport checkouts so easy.
  4. Square Organics Protein Bars
    • Absolutely love these bars. They’re basically a candy bar in protein bar form – AND ORGANIC. What could be better? Square Organics coupon code: KALEINTHECLOUDS
  5. Emergen-C
    • I always pack Emergen-C with me when I’m traveling. Traveling is already so hard on your body. Think about the jet lag, lack of sleep, but also all the germs at the airports and on the plane. Take note from a flight attendant!
  6. Yogi Tea [Skin Detox, Immune Support, Probiotic Balance]
    • My favorite teas! These three are bound to keep you in tip top shape.
  7. Amazing Grass Green Superfood Tabs
    • A. MUST. I bought this on a whim at the checkout at Whole Foods, and I’m so glad I did. Each tab contains one serving of vegetables and fruit. You add it to your water and that’s it! It even tastes yummy!
  8. Bulletproof Collagen Protein Bar
    • Just discovered these and I won’t go back. They’re packed with quality ingredients and keep me satisfied, all while containing the benefits of collagen (check out my last blog post for more info).
  9. Kyolic Kyo-Dophilus Digestion and Immune Health Probiotic Supplement 
    • I take these every day so it’s definitely going in my carry on bag.
  10. Trader Joe’s Ginger and Turmeric Tea
    • My favorite tea when I’m feeling blah.
  11. Golden Root Turmeric Latte Mix
    • A sweet treat with all the benefits of turmeric! I literally CRAVE these.
  12. RX Bar
    • One of my favorite protein bars, so it’s gotta come with! They taste like bliss balls but in bar form!
  13. Zipfizz
    • With jet lag, I love keeping these on me for some quick B12 vitamins. It gives me just enough energy to keep going – and no crash!

Notes:

  • I’m not getting paid to promote any of these brands. They are brands I truly enjoy on a daily basis and get to share with my friends for a discounted price! Score!
  • Packing your own sweets and snacks makes it easy to not give into temptation at the airport. Make sure to pack your FAVORITES so you know the love is real.
  • Always pack your daily vitamins. Traveling is already hard enough on your body so you want to try to keep everything else consistent.
  • Packing your own tea is a good penny pincher life hack. It’s also a great way to take a little piece of home with you!

Hope you guys find this useful! Safe travels to all you on the go babes.
