School is out for the summer, the sun is in full swing and now is the perfect time to head on a vacation! We are highlighting our favorite essentials for your beach vacation, visiting family, camping or just a weekend getaway. Here’s our travel essentials for body care and your on the go kit!
Body Care Essentials
- Toothpaste Tabs – Change tablets are just like paste without the waste. Perfect for travelling to bring the exact amount you need. Also, skip the tube!
- Body and Hair Care Bar Soaps – The perfect travel companion. Your luggage won’t suffer from soap spills AND solids are easier to travel with than the 3 oz limit of liquids.
- Travel Toothbrush – It’s a case AND your toothbrush! Made with bamboo and perfect for travelling sustainably.
- Bug Repellent – Chagrin Valley’s bug repellent is made with organic witch hazel and a special blend of essential oils with lemon eucalyptus, which is recommended by the CDC as an alternative to DEET.
- Refillable Sunscreen – It’s summer and there is no doubt you need sunscreen on your trip. Refill a travel size container in shop! It’s 35% aloe-based and 100% reef safe.
- Body Oil – A luxorious body oil to keep your skin shiny and moisturized.
- Castile Soap – This liquid packs a punch when travelling with 3 oz. This multi-purpose soap can be used to wash your body/ hands/ face, scrub dishes and clean anything last minute.
Your On-the-go Kit
- Cutlery Set – Skip the single-use plastic forks, straws and spoons! Plus, TSA won’t be giving you issues about a bamboo knife.
- Cloth Napkins – Great for spills, wiping sauce from your face and to blow your nose. Talk about multipurpose. We recommend keeping a lil mesh bag to store them.
- To Go Container – Holler out ” I brought my own!” when needing a container for your leftover take out.
- Silicone Bags – The possibilities are ENDLESS with ziptop reusable silicone bags. Our top picks for travelling: Wet bag for swimsuits, a snack container, a phone bag when on the water, storing haircare bar soaps, jewlery container, carrying leftovers and holding all your toiletries together.
Bonus Travel Essentials
- Ethically Made Sunglasses – While it’s easy to grab a quick pair of sunnies for a vacation, chances are their low quality will have them scratching and breaking after one trip! Opt for a pair ethically made sunnies with recycled materials that will last you!
- Reusable Face Masks – You never know, you may still need one! Better to be prepared than use a single-use mask last minute.
- Reusable Water Bottle – Say no to the countless plastic water bottles offered while travelling. We’ve even seen water refill stations all around the airport.
- Collapsible Tote Bag – You never know when you’ll need a reusable bag on a vacation. A collapsible one is a total space saver but any tote you already have at home will do the trick.
- Portable Charger – If you’ve got a portable charger, great! Remember you can borrow a charger from a friend too. If needing to purchase one new, grab a quality charger that will last you years. Bonus points if it’s a solar powered charger. Tech can leave a large footprint so always be conscious when purchasing.
