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.

Clearly I am into thriller/mystery types, so if you have any good recommendations, let me know!
Major props to The Skinny Confidential for sharing w/ me Sriracha2Go, cause Sriracha makes everything better… even plane food (I hope!).
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?
In this Post
Oh my god, Sriracha to go? What an incredible invention.

Right! So obsessed ;)
Sounds like it is going to be an unreal trip!! Love this packing list too, the eye-covers are especially necessary haha.
Hope you got some sleep on the plane :)

Thanks hun!
Great post! I have loads of mini siracha keyrings hidden at home (for flavour emergencies) :) I love the marble notebook, but where is it from as the link doesn’t seem to work on my phone? x
Updated the link :) you can find it here
Brilliant, thank you :)
Erica – This post is AMAZING. I literally just bought the Selfie TRIPOD (!!!!) and the remote button from this post, thank you so much for sharing and give Kylie my regards. ;) The marble headphones are adorable. We have a big international trip coming up in January – and I am planning the outfits now, and you just get the planning struggle. I love Giada de Laurentiis and in her book Feel Good Food (SERIOUSLY my fave cookbook, incredible – a good one for you to check out – all healthy stuff with lifestyle mixed in) – she posts her trip planning tip but I found it online for you.. seems up your alley too: https://www.giadaweekly.com/issue35/Lead-the-Pack . Have so much fun with your man back in CPH – and have a few too many glasses of champagne on the plane, it helps with the anxiety, I promise! x
Haha- I will tell Kylie ;). I am going to definitely look into that book & I DEFINITELY indulged on the bubbly before the flight (such a huggggge help!).
Thanks for the link, reading it now! x
Great list!
I just got back from Europe and did a ton of reading on my travel days. I read the Gillian Flynn book, Sharp Objects. Such a good book! Dark Places is next on my list. Let us know how it is!
Have a great trip! Can’t wait to see the pics :)

I will! Sharp Objects was great!!
Love these picks! Marble everything is always a good choice :)
Love me some marble :) x
I need some of that Sriracha2Go ASAP!
Thanks for the links to the selfie timer and tripod — I’ve been looking for one because I literally refuse to buy a selfie stick. My dad has one and whenever he uses it in public, I feel a little part of my soul die.
xo, https://www.endlesspostcards.com
Haha, I feel ya girl! I have a selfie stick & only use it in private :) x
Ah tell me what you think about down the rabbit hole! I’m so curious, ha.
Love the marble here, and buying an eye mask ASAP. I also take melotonin when I am going oversees to help with my sleep scheduling (to fall asleep because otherwise I’ll be all sorts of crazy).
Have so much fun girl!

So far the book is good! I think I need to re-watch The Girls Next Door now so I can remember all the little details. I love my melotoninnnnn <3 such a lifesaver. x
