There is a good chance you are reading this while I am somewhere high in the air, hopefully sound asleep or soon waking up on the other side of the pond.

Yup yup, on my way to Scandinavia & pretty pumped. To kick of my #FLTravels, I wanted to share w/ you guys twenty of my top travel essentials.

For more packing tips be sure to check out my packing + outfit planning spreadsheets (yes, I’m pyscho), some more in flight travel essentials, tips on how to pack like a pro, & this super handy DIY jewelry roll!

Got any tips for me or travel recommendations in Malmo or Copenhagen! LMK. x, E

P.S. I am going to try to keep up the blogging, but be sure to follow all the adventures on Snapchat (un: Fashionlush) & Instagram!


The breakdown::

1. Smith’s Minted Rose Lip Balm

2.  Charged iPad w/ all my books (I will list ’em off below!)

3.  FujiFilm Instax Mini: I always bring this camera, along with my Rebel, on every trip! It’s the perfect little memory maker.

4.  Sony white headphones that I decorated w/ my signature marble contact paper for a little added Fashionlush-style flair.

5. Sriracha2Go: to hopefully make the plane food edible…

6. Passport (derr) & cute passport cover

7. My beloved & much needed Clubmaster reading glasses, cause I see double w/o them.

8. A picture of my little babe for when Z & I are missing her, which is every second.

9. HISY bluetooth remote that was personally (slash Instagram) recommended by Kylie Jenner. I use it with this tripod for the optimal vacay selfie situation. Selfie sticks are so last year.

10. Holly Golightly-esque sleep mask

11. Marble notebook + my fave pen, for doodles & memories not to be forgotten.

12. Travel size Downey Wrinkle Release spray cause I am somehow always wrinkled.

13. Travel Size bottle of Evian spritz, because planes are as drying for your skin as the Sahara Desert (#fact).

14. Kava drops, mentioned here & my go-to natural anxiety helper. 

15. Bach White Chestnut Flower Essence to keep negative thoughts from going round & round in my head.

16. Mini Tide-To-Go pen, cause I will most likely spill Sriracha on myself at some point.

17. Travel Advil to help w/ crying baby induced airplane headaches. Not mad about it, babies cry, but this is def. an on flight essential.

18. Hello Hair Hydrating Coconut Oil Mask: especially after my latest hair appointment, I am bringing this moisture miracle with me for sure.

19. Nip + Fab Dragons Blood Fix Plumping Serum (not pictured): I just got this in the mail & it’s MAJOR. It was also recommended by my BFF Kylie (I kid) & it 100% plumps your skin in a really Botox type way. Obsessed.

20. DIY hand sanitizer (not pictured), cause f*ck those nasty airplane germs & chemical filled Purell.

Zack & I love to doodle our adventures when on vacation & I have this weird obsession with Micron pens. They are so fine pointed and easy to write/draw with. P.S. raddest notebook ever, yes?
