I thrive on a good wellness routine. At home, it's nonnegotiable for me to do my yoga and Pilates, drink my greens, and take a probiotic. But throw a packed Google calendar and travel plans into the mix, and it can be difficult to stay consistent. To make it easier for myself, I made a packing list of must-haves to always keep on hand so I can complete my routine with ease when I’m traveling. And of course, I need to look cute while I’m at it. Keep scrolling to see the wellness items I can’t travel without and a few fashion and beauty essentials that you’ll always find in my suitcase.

This popular suitcase has almost 7000 five-star reviews and is only $218.

Even when I’m doing Pilates, I need my gold necklaces. 

This is the best yoga mat out there, period. It’s sleek, travel-friendly, and has the perfect amount of grip. I literally can’t use any other mat.

I feel like I’m walking on a cloud when I wear these sneakers. I love their versatility—you can wear them to the airport, to work out, or with any outfit.

This leather tote is stylish and quite capacious. It’s the perfect carry-on bag.

I love swimming in the ocean or taking a dip in the pool, so a classic one-piece is essential on trips. I love this creamy ivory color.

The iconic Jet Lag Mask is a travel essential. It rejuvenates my tired, dehydrated skin with its blend of niacinamide, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid. 

My jaw is legit on the floor. I’m wearing these leggings everywhere.

You probably already know that greens are essential for good health. This greens powder is next level—it has vitamins, minerals, superfoods, probiotics, and enzymes. They even come in cute little travel packs.

 

A black bustier is the ideal staple top for vacation. You can dress it up with a silk slip skirt or keep it casual with denim shorts.  

How cute are these floral nail strips?! I’m totally going to have a self-care moment on the plane and apply these and a face mask.

This chic passport holder should get you an upgrade to first class.

Your earring stack needs these huggies. They’ll add a dainty touch to every vacation outfit.

The OG lightweight moisturizer that literally drenches your skin in hydrating ingredients such as aloe and hyaluronic acid. I take the travel size everywhere I go.

Whenever I travel, I always need to pack multiple sports bras for both workouts and just lounging around. This neon-pink one is a no-brainer. 

With ingredients ​such as coconut oil, banana extract, and aloe, this sunscreen moisturizes your skin and smells like summery beach nostalgia. Bonus: It’s TSA-friendly.

Brighten up your do with a neon claw clip. I’m living for this punchy lime hue that’s so perfect for summer.

Navy leggings are a chic alternative to basic black. 

Sakara is the gold standard of wellness. Its probiotic keeps your gut health in check when travel tries to throw it off.

Freshwater pearls are the perfect addition to your beach outfit.

These sandals are versatile and take up virtually no space in my suitcase.

A convertible nude bra is the only bra I’ll bring on vacation (aside from the aforementioned sports bras). It’s an absolute essential because it works with every single outfit regardless of the neckline or strap situation.

Transparent shades are so modern. These even have an iridescent shimmer that glistens in the sunshine.

Out of the hundreds of lip balms I’ve tried, this is my favorite. The refreshing watermelon flavor is quintessential for summer.

A sparkly tennis chain instantly elevates every vacation outfit. You’ll look like a million bucks.

I love a sporty baseball cap to protect my face from the sun.

Let’s be honest: Oversize hoodies are better. I’ll be wearing this one to stay warm on the plane.

Scrunchies are so playful and nostalgic, not to mention a travel necessity.

I love sparkly huggies. These can work with every outfit on vacation.

I’m a vegetarian, so this app helps me make sure I’m getting enough protein while I’m eating out.

These nail strips are super easy to apply, so you can effortlessly change up your mani mid-vacation.
