Today I’ve partnered with Jawbone to share with you my in flight essentials. These are the goodies that I always take with me whenever I am on a flight, and most go with me wherever I go anyway. Some people would argue that there should be more, and I’m sure it varies by person. I also add in some snacks or a protein bar sometimes, depending on the length of the flight.

1. Jawbone UP MOVE / I take this everywhere with me. It helps me keep track of my fitness on the go. I lead a very active lifestyle and can’t always do more traditional workouts, so the Smart Coach function on this is very helpful and even provides tips for improvement.
2. Touch Up Powder / This bareMinerals powder has been a godsend for me. I tend to get oily on warm planes and this is the perfect touch up so I don’t actually look like I just walked off of a plane. I also use it sometimes to touch up any oil in my hair, though I’m not sure if it would work on darker hair.
3. Portable Charger / I know there are more stylish looking options out there, but most of them only charge your phone once. This bad boy will recharge your phone quite a few times, and has dual USB slots if you’d like to help a friend out or charge a different device at the same time.
4. Water Bottle / I hate having to buy water at the airport, and when I do I just end up refilling the bottle anyway. I like to bring my own water bottle to skip the process and save a little dough so I don’t get dehydrated on the plane.
5. Lip Balm / This is the most luxurious lip crème I’ve ever tried, and it’s perfect for keeping your lips moisturized in flight. Plus, it smells nice too.
6. Sunglasses / I never travel without one (or three) good pair(s) of shades. They usually dim the light enough so I can catch some shut-eye on the flight, and not have to take up extra space in my bag.
7. Coiled Hair Ties / I already raved about these in my travel with long hair post, but they deserve another mention. I don’t think I can go back to normal hair ties.
8. Light Scarf / This item easily doubles as a blanket or neck pillow if I need it to. At my destination it can be a scarf for cold weather or a sarong for warmer weather.
9. Tablet / I don’t travel with a laptop since I pre-schedule content for the blog when I’m on the go. It’s less stressful and I can usually get most of my work done on a tablet anyway.
10. Cozy Socks / Planes can get so cold, keeping your feet warm will help. Plus, if you want to kick off your shoes it keeps them covered as well. I don’t think anyone likes to see bare feet on a plane.
11. Folding Headphones / I am big over comfortable earphones over earbuds. They seem to drown out more noise as well. I know they take up more space, but I still have not found a pair of earbuds that I like.
12. Shoulder Bag / This is my main bag. I carry it everywhere and that just naturally carries over to travel. I find it has just enough space for my essentials (even my camera fits) and no more. And, you’re ready to go!
