What's in my everyday carry tote bag
Toiletries/Dopp Kit
Luggage and Packing
These are the items I travel with for each trip.
Sturdy and reliable. Great for international travel. I've never had issues with the wheels or other hardware breaking. I use the Medium for most trips, since I can check my bags for free. Mine are pink and lavender for easy identification on the lugg...

My favorite packing cubes. They have great structure, they're expandable and fit well in both my carry on and medium-sized luggage.
Thule Packing Cubes
Great quality, looks great, and has the functionality you need to help you have easy access to your items.

Affordable, packs down to nothing, and fits so much, has a luggage pass-through, and slides easily under most airplane seats (even when standing up).

Love this brush for quiet and beautiful hairstyling I can do in about 10 minutes! It smooths out my hair and makes it so shiny.

Pant Hangers
Lifesaver for long walks through airports and wherever else, so you don't have to lug a bag. It also fits under the airplane seat.
Backpack Trolley Wheeled Cart with Strap
Must-have for helping you look put together in very little time. The reservoir holds a lot of water (I use bottled water) for batch steaming all your clothes. It's great for getting wrinkles out of your clothes in minutes, and works well for delicate...
Conair Turbo Extreme Steam Handheld Steamer
Essential for keeping the germs out. Just make sure you wash it frequently to prevent mold build-up in the mouthpiece areas.
Owala: FreeSip
Tech Accessories
I always leave room (and weight) in my bags for these because they make working more comfortable. They're also nice for working in other areas when you can't/don't want to be at your desk.
My favorite keyboard for travel; it's so quiet with the Blush switches. It fits perfectly over my MacBook Pro's keyboard, but not quite on my Lenovo's.

I used to carry around a pocket tripod for FaceTime calls and photos/videos, and this has been such a great solution for me. I've had it for a year and a half, and it still works perfectly. I love how compact it is and it doesn't take up room when I'...
MOFT Phone Tripod Stand Selfie Stick iPhone
I need these for the plane, and they help me with noisy distractions throughout my travel day to keep me sane. The noise cancellation works great, and they're comfortable on my ears for longtime wear. I like how easily they connect and switch between...
Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen Wireless
These are very durable and the different colors help me identify them more easily. I always have several that I carry with me.
Anker Silicone USB-C cables
I love how lightweight and portable this laptop stand is. Everyone asks me about it. It's been very durable and folds down flat to store easily in any bag. It helps bring my laptop up to eye level so my neck and shoulders don't hurt. I bring it to me...
