Winner will be chosen Friday (while I am at the airport probably!). Good luck babes. x, E
+ Herbivore Botanicals Skin Toning Elixir: toners are my jam, especially when I am on vacay! I keep this one from Herbivore Botanicals (love everything from this brand) in my travel bag to spritz on my face when on the plane/after the sun/when I wake up/etc. A facialist once told me an airplanes conditions are comparable to being in the Sahara desert, so a spritz or 10 of this hydrating spray (contains rosehip oil, carrot oil, argan oil, jojoba oil, & ylang ylang) will help restore the pH levels in your skin.
+ Twenty Four Blackbirds Chocolates: I’d like to say that I keep chocolate in my purse when going to the airport because I have low blood sugar, but no, I just love chocolate (like a lot). Twenty Four Blackbirds is a handmade artisanal chocolate company whose process is best described as “bean to bar”. Read about their rad chocolate making process here & wait till you try it– you will taste the difference.
+ Public – Supply Notebooks: I ALWAYS bring a notebook with me when travelling to document the experience. It’s also helpful when noting down travel points (experiences, restaurants, etc.) that I want to blog about. Zack & I will also draw funny pictures in my notebooks & play endless rounds of “DOTS” (remember that game?) or Hangman. Public – Supply notebooks are my favorite for a few reasons: they are quality notebooks, come in a variety of chic/minimalistic designs, & the company donates 25% of their profit to public schools to bring creativity back into the classroom. Cool, right?
+ Ursa Major Essentials Facial Balm: Ursa Major products are seriously MAJOR. I started off with the facial balm when I saw it at Urban Outfitters, & was so impressed, I pretty much got the whole line. The facial balm is a fast-drying & lightweight serum that provides intense moisture for your skin. It also contains aloe, so it’s especially great after a long day in the hot sun.
+ Ursa Major Essentials Fantastic Face Wash: By far, one of the best face washes I have ever used! WOW. I can’t say enough good things about this stuff. I have the big bottle at home, but never travel w/o the smaller sized version. It’s a foaming gel cleanser & it literally wipes your pores squeaky clean without drying out your skin.
+ Ursa Major Essentials Face Wipes: When things are really go-go-go on vacay, these wipes come in handy big time. They cleanse, tone, exfoliate, & moisturize your skin in just a few swipes. Also great when on a really long flight & show your skin some love!
+ Matteo Los Angeles: Call me weird, but I like to bring my own washcloth with me when travelling. Either the hotel doesn’t have washcloths or they are super rough on your skin & who knows how many times they’ve been used by strangers. I am very very very anal about my skin, so I only let the softest washcloth by Matteo Home touch my skin. So diva of me, but so worth it. TRUST!
+ Skinny Coconut Oil: I’ve blogged about this coconut oil before, & I swear it’s the best of the best in the world of coconut oils. Skinny coconut oil is cold pressed, raw, pesticide free, wild harvested, etc. etc. I bring a little tub with me on trips & I use it to take off my make-up, moisturize dry skin, soothe sunburns, & I even eat a spoonful in the AM for a burst of energy.
