- Travel Backpack- Tumi is my favorite! Tumi has so many styles and colors to choose from, plus mine has a cell phone pocket and for security, a zipper pocket with RFID protection. Check out their website or benefit from resale sites like Poshmark and The RealReal for a deal!

- Liquids Bag- This bag is perfect for security checkpoints & is also approved by TSA!
- DripDrop and LMNT-Sometimes it is hard to stay hydrated while traveling. I have tried several hydration products and found that I liked these the best for two reasons. First, they mix well and second, the flavors since if it doesn't taste good, I am not going to drink it!

- Portable Speaker- We have had a Bose portable speaker for years and love it!
- In an effort to get away from my cell phone through the night I purchased this alarm clock, it was easy to set and who am I kidding, easy to hit snooze!
- Pantry and food Rubbermaid Storage Containers Plastic and Glass, these are EVERYTHING! I really like how they stack in my pantry.
- Paint Markers-What don't I use these on? I love that depending on the contents I can choose a color easily seen. The best part, it almost always washes off in the dishwasher. For containers that store my flours or sugars, items that last longer, occasionally I have to use a little bit of Goo Gone to get the final bit off. No biggie!
