27 Products To Make You The Happiest Little Clam On Your Next Trip
A travel "flossing" toothbrush with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! A pair of wide-leg high-waisted yoga pants for the *ultimate* in travel comfort — particularly since these are basically work pants in camouflage. Are they for yoga class or corporate nonsense?? That's nobody's business but yours and your booty's. 🥰 A set of feather-light, super durable compression packing cubes you can use to significantly decrease the bulk of your clothing to save space on trips. This particular set is a cut above the others because it comes with a mesh outside that allows you to see what's in each bag without popping them all open to find something. An electric travel kettle for all the tea, coffee, and oatmeal monsters out there who want instant, portable access to their lifeblood. People love this for at-home use when they're not traveling, too — it boils SUPER fast for quick cuppas, and has a small profile that makes it easy to put away. A set of easy-to-use, super adaptable "luggage bungees" so you can attach pillows, duffel bags, and backpacks to your wheeled suitcases and zip through the airport without lugging a bunch of things in your hands. (You need those hands to hold your lukewarm airport coffee!) A portable, extendable power strip to save your technologically-dependent butt when you end up in a hotel with one (1) measly outlet. Even if it's an absurd distance from the bed, this will extend so your gadgets are all close by, and easily charge all of them at once. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. A fast-drying on-the-go "air towel" you can attach to your backpack or purse for all kinds of miscellaneous needs, like wiping down wet benches, mopping up sweat, cleaning your phone, opening door handles, and drying your hands. Béis's Crescent Weekender Bag, the latest launch from Shay Mitchell's Instagram-beloved, reviewer-fave travel accessories brand. This elevated, versatile bag is ridiiiiculously roomy and built for all kinds of travel scenarios, whether it's a weekend trip on its own, or mounted on a wheeling bag using the built-in trolley strap. A carefully designed FlyHugz travel pillow to alleviate neck strain while you're sleeping on long flights, drives, and train rides so you can comfortably snooze sitting upright. A pack of clear disposable placemats a lot of parents *swear* by for traveling, so kids can go to clown town on the airplane or in restaurants with their snacks and art supplies without having to clean up a big mess after. This is also a great way to ensure you're eating and working off a germ-free surface! Olay Cleansing Melts + Retinol Face Cleanser for a two-in-one skincare punch — these water-activated melts only have eight ingredients to give your skin a deep clean without irritating it, with a gentle micro-foam up to clean, tone, and refresh your complexion. Reviewers especially love these for traveling, since they're so portable! A pair of investmentworthy Loop Quiet 2 "hidden" earplugs designed with traveling in mind — this newly updated version is lightweight and flexible for a barely there fit that still manages to effectively muffle noise, whether you're trying to get some shut-eye on a flight, focus during a work trip, or relax in a noisy city hotel. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents. A crossbody iPhone wallet that's a *much* more cost-effective solution than the $98 Bandolier version, with all the same cuteness and functionality. A lightweight backpack poncho for anyone who takes the motto "rain or shine" to heart — this hands-free rain gear is ideal for adventurers who don't want to miss a single moment of traveling in a new city or trekking while camping. Reviewers especially love this option because it's ventilated and doesn't overheat you when you're on the move! A clever Altoids tin pill insert you can use for discreet storage of medications, or just to save packing space on trips. You can get it eight different "cubby" styles, including a seven-day one, to suit your needs. And a cute-as-a-button portable pill container with seven deep compartments and a handy dispenser lid to make it easier than ever to pop out vitamins and medications on the go. A travel-size version of The Knot Dr. by Conair, which is an all-in-one hairdryer brush that looked at the mega-expensive Dyson AirWrap and said, "Game, set, MATCH." This affordable option works on all hair types so you can give yourself a full volumized blow-out at home in the fraction of the time it takes with an ordinary blow-dryer, without spending the big buckaroonies on expensive hair tools. A tiny 3-in-1 portable charger that folds down to the size of a little macaron, but cleverly expands to charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time. If you have trips on the horizon or you're a busy human in general, you need to get yourself one of these adorable UFOs, fast. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without worrying about losing or damaging them on long trips. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price. An anti-theft "sock wallet" that laughs in the face of pickpockets who think you left your valuables in your shorts like a common tourist. These are also made with breathable, lightly cushioned, blister-preventive material so you can run and bike in them with ease! A fully adjustable Stanley bottle crossbody bag, because hydration is never not the hottest accessory. This sleek, leakproof, double-insulated bottle will keep liquid ice cold or toasty warm for hours, and thanks to this comfy crossbody strap, you can take a sip whenever you want. (No backpack wrangling required!) Athleta's Jetset Bomber, the ultimate in versatile travel layers that was recently updated with a *ton* of lovely new shades. This soft, wind-resistant, water-repellent bomber travels small without getting wrinkly, and even has a stowable hood. A long-lasting, travel-friendly waterless lotion bar you can take on flights without worrying about lotion soaking into all your clothes. All you have to do is rub this quick-absorbing bar on your skin, and you'll have all the hydration and protection of moisturizer with none of the hassle. A phone umbrella you can suction to the back for *instant* shade when you're trying to reduce sun glare outdoors (or text in the rain 🫠). Reviewers especially love this for their Kindles when they're trying to read at the beach or the pool. The "handle" of the umbrella even doubles as a phone stand to prop it up on long flights! Aaaand a roomy sandproof mesh tote bag so you can take all your belongings to and from the beach *without* taking half the beach home with you. 🫠

Everything Our Deals Experts Recommend From Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing, and our deals experts have curated a list of the best deals happening right now. This year's sale includes over 6,000 discounts on top brands like Béis, Ray-Ban and Supergoop. Among the sea of offers, we've also found markdowns on editor-favorite products, including 40% off our pick for the most comfortable sandals for standing and 38% off our favorite blow dry brush for fine hair. Our deals team has been tracking the best markdowns during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTOS: RETAILER The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will be live through August 3, but its most coveted deals typically sell out in specific sizes and colorways. We highly recommend shopping sooner rather than later in order to get the best selection of offers before they're gone. Up ahead, we've listed the best deals currently available and separated them by category for easy browsing. Solawave Wrinkle Retreat LED Face Mask: Now $244, Was $349 (30% Off) Osea Cleanse & Glow Body Set: Now $62, Was $104 (40% Off) La Mer Mini Miracles Moisturizing Cream Skincare Set: Now $98, Was $174 (44% Off) Lancôme Cils Booster XL Mascara Gift Set: Now $38, Was $68 (44% Off) Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Supercharged Gel Eye Cream Duo: Now $96, Was $148 (35% Off) Nécessaire The Body Lotion: Now $32, Was $48 (33% Off) Elemis Jumbo Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm: Now $89, Was $120 (26% Off) T3 Curlwrap Curling Iron: Now $135, Was $210 (36% Off) NuFace Trinity+ Complete: Now $399, Was $595 (33% Off) Oribe Gold Lust Set: Now $102, Was $152 (33% Off) Supergoop Invisible Icons SPF Set: Now $54, Was $80 (33% Off) 'I have a lot of items in my Nordstrom cart, but the product I'm most excited to order is these Dolce Vita shoes,' says deals and coupons writer Bianca Alvarez. 'After hearing from my friends and family how comfortable they are, I knew I needed to get a pair.' These everyday sneakers are available in four colors and multiple sizes—Nordstrom recommends ordering 1/2 size up. 'I'm not kidding when I say I own (and have tried) most of T3's catalogue, and one of my absolute favorites is this styling brush,' shares Alvarez. 'With multiple heat and airflow settings, I can turn my freshly showered hair into a smooth, salon-like blowout in just a few minutes. I love gifting this to everyone because of how user-friendly it is (regardless of their skill level or hair type).' This reusable water bottle is large enough to hold tons of water and ice, but the best part is that it keeps drinks cold for hours. That's because it has a double-wall insulation that maintains cold temperatures for up to 24 hours (and hot drinks for up to 12 hours). Béis makes some of our favorite luggage, and Alvarez never goes on any long trips without this suitcase. This check-in roller offers a durable polycarbonate shell, 360-degree wheels, a telescoping handle, internal organization components and TSA-approved locks. Even after going on countless vacations, all of its features look and function like brand new, making it worth the splurge. 'This lip and cheek stain has quickly become a summer staple in my makeup routine,' says deals editor Maya Gandara. 'I can apply it wherever I want a little pop of color and not worry about it fading or slipping off—even on super sweaty days.' Zella's leggings are some of the most durable options on the market—Alvarez still owns her first pair from high school. These are supportive, stretchy and have a buttery feel that makes it extremely comfortable for working out and lounging around the house. 'Hourglass's makeup brushes are by far my favorite because of how soft and versatile they are,' says Alvarez. 'With this double-ended brush, I'm able to gently powder my face and reach smaller areas (like my under-eyes) with precision. The setting powder melts into my skin, keeping my makeup on for hours without looking overdone—the ultimate goal.' 'If I could only wear one sock brand for the rest of my life, it would be Bombas,' says Gandara. 'They hold up well through repeated wears and runs through the washing machine, and offer a level of comfort all other pairs in my drawer have yet to beat. I'll personally be stocking up on this set that features one of my favorite ankle sock designs from the brand.' Pura makes chic and effective diffusers for your home and car. This car set is an editor favorite since it's easy to use and releases just enough scent to make a noticeable difference without overwhelming the space. It includes the rechargeable smart diffuser and a smart fragrance vial featuring one of Pura's signature scents. Up your loungewear game with these super cozy and soft Ugg slippers that are perfect for puttering around the house. Hint: These also make a fantastic holiday gift, so stock up while they're on sale. It doesn't get more classic than these leather Sperry boat shoes. The soles are designed to offer ample traction on wet or dry surfaces, and the cushioned footbed brings plenty of comfort. Choose from tan, light green or navy. As summer transitions into fall, you'll be glad you invested in this pair of leather riding boots. With a stable block heel and grippy rubber sole, they're easy to walk in—plus, they come in a wide option for thicker calves. This wedge offers enhanced arch support, ample cushioning and a molded EVA footbed, a great balance of comfort and style for all-day wear. Four different colorways are currently on sale with this 38% discount. Flats are a great travel and summer shoe. This popular Rothy's style is flexible, has a stylish square toe box and can be tossed in the washing machine when it needs a refresh. It's currently on sale in four colors, including the above pictured black. Whether you're running errands, working from home or heading to the pickleball courts, this tennis skort will keep you feeling comfortable—but also looking polished. It's on sale in three colors as part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. There is nothing like quality cozy loungewear. This pajama set from Barefoot Dreams features an ultra-soft boat-neck sweater and matching pants. Available in three colors (Jave, Sand Dune and Faded Brick), this set already has me planning my next movie marathon. If you need a new suit, consider this option from Canali, a brand with roots tracing back to 1930s Italy. The Siena Suit, in particular, has a navy hue and traditional fit that provides a clean look to take with you to the office or your next formal event. This soft cotton shirt is perfect for both casual and dressier occasions, thanks to its slim fit, button-up design and framed cuffs and hems. You can style it on its own or layer it with an additional top underneath. It's currently on sale in three neutral colors. This durable and soft shirt-jacket is a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The wool-blend double-cloth keeps you warm while the interior cotton lining makes it extra cozy. Pair it with jeans or slacks to take you everywhere, from running errands to dinner. A trench coat is a timeless fashion staple, and this one from Barbour is ideal for rainy weather thanks to its waterproof cotton-polyamide blend. We also love its chic spread collar and belted waist. Here's the perfect opportunity to hop on the LED face mask train. After rigorously testing nine LED face masks, our beauty team named this SolaWave model the best flexible option. During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it's on sale for the lowest price we've seen yet. This skincare set includes two full-size products, the Undaria Algae Body Wash and Undaria Algae Body Oil, as well as a travel-size version of the body oil. The two-part routine is designed to support the skin's moisture barrier and leave it feeling silky smooth. If you're always looking for ways to stay moisturized while traveling, this mini moisturizing cream skincare set includes four luxurious bestsellers from La Mer in travel-sizes: The Treatment Lotion (0.5 ounces), The Renewal Oil Face Oil (0.17 ounces), Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream (0.5 ounces) and Rejuvenating Night Cream (0.24 ounces). A bundled gift set gives you the chance to try out a couple products for less. This Lancôme gift set features a primer and volumizing mascara that work in tandem to lift and lengthen each individual lash, producing a stunning, fanned-out eye look that's free of unwanted clumps. Estée Lauder is known for its high-quality skincare, and this Gel Eye Cream Duo is specifically formulated to brighten the appearance of dark circles in as little as two weeks, according to the brand. Ideal for all skin types (and discounted by $52), it's worth picking up this set for less. If you keep hearing about Nécessaire but haven't tried any of its products yet, Nordstrom's current markdowns may be your chance. Reviewers say this fragrance-free lotion is rich and moisturizing but doesn't leave your skin feeling heavy or sticky. This popular cleansing balm is sort of a three-in-one product. You can use it to remove makeup, as a daily cleanser and as a weekly face mask. The nourishing formula cleans, soothes and moisturizes. Stock up on a jumbo size during Nordstrom's sale. The popular T3 Curlwrap Curling Iron makes styling your hair a breeze thanks to a two-way AutoTwist switch that literally curls your hair for you. There are nine heat settings and even a timer option to create the perfect curl. Plus, the sleek styling tool looks good, even if it's left out on your countertop. This 3-in-1 microccurent tool is tested and approved by our editors. The set includes the Trinity+ device, a detailing attachment, and an LED red light option so you can sculpt, smooth, lift and tone your skin from the comfort of home. Give your hair A-list treatment with this shampoo and conditioner set, complete with both full and travel-size bottles of Gold Lust Repair & Restore formula. The shampoo gently cleanses and balances your scalp, while the conditioner deeply hydrates and nourishes for all-day shine. Supergoop is our go-to for lightweight, non-greasy sunscreens, and this box set stocks you up on two of the brands most popular products—the Unseen Sunscreen and the Unseen Sunscreen Stick. Both formulas melt effortlessly into the skin, and the stick is particularly useful for reapplying on the go. If you gravitate towards a specific blade and use it for just about everything, it may be time to diversify your collection. This set from Viking packs in all you could need in one block: a chef's knife, bread knife, carving knife, utility knife, paring knife, six steak knives, sharpening steel and kitchen shears. From braising to searing, a good cast iron pan is a kitchen workhorse. This option from Viking is 10.5 inches wide with steep sides to cook meat and vegetables alike. Plus, it's currently on sale for $100 less than its usual price. Welcome the sweet, citrus smells of summer into your home with this candle trio from Lovery. You get three scents—Vanilla Madagascar, Lemon Bergamot and Orange Blossom—each made of soy wax and long-lasting cotton wicks. Give your bed (and skin) the luxe treatment with this pair of Blissy Mulberry silk pillowcases. The hypoallergenic covers are available in over 20 colors and come in Standard, Queen and King size options. If you didn't get your Le Creuset mystery box, quite a few pieces are on sale for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. This classic Dutch oven is perfect for summer dinner parties and those low-and-slow meals as the weather cools. The pot is gorgeous, durable and versatile, truly a buy-it-for-life kitchen staple. Barefoot Dreams' CozyChic Rib Throw isn't your average blanket. Its luxuriously soft, cozy texture has gained a significant fanbase, and it comes in four dreamy hues: Terra, Moonwater, Umber and Sable. Right now, you can shop this celebrity-loved throw for 33% off. Voluspa's candles are high-quality and downright gorgeous. This set of five mini candles comes in elegant tin vessels embossed with the brand's Maison pattern. Scents include Santal Vanille, Baltic Amber, Forbidden Fig, Temple Moss and French Cade Lavender. Place them around your home or give them individually as gifts. Stokke's high-end highchair excels in style and versatility. It has a cool minimalist aesthetic, comes in several colorways and transitions to accommodate your child as they age. This discount includes a tray and cushions, which are not always bundled in with the chair itself. This sale is a great time to refresh your kid's winter wardrobe. Keep your little one warm with this puffer jacket from Save The Duck. It's water-resistant and lined to protect them against the elements. Plus, it's machine washable, so you can toss it in with other dirties. Leaving the house with young kids is like packing for a weekend trip, but the right bag can make a huge difference. This backpack-style diaper bag from Wayb features a plethora of pockets to help you stay organized when you're on the go. Its padded straps also make it comfortable for all-day wear. Making your own homemade baby food has never been easier thanks to this sleek appliance; it's a steamer, blender, defroster and warmer all-in-one. The container is generously sized to hold over 5 cups, so you can make plenty at once and freeze it for later. This set is cute but also includes important features for your convenience (and baby's comfort), like 100% cotton materials and an elastic waist. Everything is also machine-washable and can be tossed in the dryer without shrinking. This highly rated car seat and stroller system is designed to make travel with a baby easier. The stroller has four modes of use and is easily collapsible, while the lightweight car seat has a steel-reinforced pipaFIX rigid latch that makes installation a breeze. If you're on the hunt for new luggage, take a peek at this 2-piece set from Delsey Paris. Its durable design is super lightweight and strong enough to withstand the rigors of international travel. Why not complete the set while you're at it? A rolling case is great, but a duffel is perfect for those quick weekend getaways or to add a carry-on companion to your checked luggage. It's also easier to access mid-travel, so it's great for storing things you might need during long flights, like toiletries, entertainment and a change of clothes. Available in four colorways, this Samsonite set includes a classic roller and a customizable carry case that can be used as a packing cube, worn as a crossbody or strapped to your luggage. The interior of the luggage has several zippered pockets, including a WetPak pocket, and compression straps to help keep you organized. This Herschel duffel sets itself apart with its exterior shoe compartment, where you can stash shoes or other items you don't want mingling with the rest of your belongings. The entire bag can fit in an overhead bin on a plane and has a removable padded shoulder strap for added comfort. If you're traveling with kids, the right gear can make or break a long travel day. This ride-on suitcase can be converted to push or pull, or your kid can take a seat and cruise through the airport. Once you're on the plane, the carry-on can also transform into a bed with a mattress and side panels to create a cozy sleep setup. These chic oval sunglasses are an early 2000s callback. They're sleek, minimalist and offer 100% UV protection. They're also compatible with prescriptions, if needed. These leather charms are a fun way to add a little extra personal touch to your bag, keys or wallet (and to safely stash an Apple AirTag). They're made of leftover cuts of the brand's sustainable DriTan leather and include nice details like polished brass hardware. Choose from 11 fruits, including tomato, strawberry and the pear shown above. A peach and an orange are also sale on a separate page. Offering a 0.06-ctw lab diamond on an 18k gold chain, this delicate necklace is a perfect understated piece for everyday wear. It can standalone as a pendant or be layered with your other favorites to create a stackable look. A classic tote is a purse staple. This gorgeous Coach bag is made of pebbled leather with clean lines and a small gold brand emblem that gives the bag its sleek and minimalist aesthetic. It also has a magnetic-snap closure and a zippered internal pocket to keep your essentials safe. Smartwatches are incredibly useful, but they're not always the most aesthetic piece in your wardrobe. These Posh Tech watchbands let you change up your style to match the occasion. This set includes a leather band, a polished stainless steal band and an athletic nylon option.

Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale is a smaller bi-annual event that typically occurs once in the spring and once in the fall. Its Anniversary Sale takes place once a year over the summer and is known for major price cuts across all categories. Both sales always have notable offers, but the Anniversary Sale typically includes steeper discounts on more coveted items, as well as deals on fall and winter styles.

Each membership tier, determined by how much you've spent at the department store over the past year, is allotted an early shopping window leading up to the sale.

Pack Like—Béis Founder Shay Mitchell
Pack Like is a column in which Forbes Vetted asks some of the most well-traveled entrepreneurs and tastemakers about the essential items they reach for when they're on the go. Next time you're headed on an adventure, look no further for ideas and inspiration. Actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell caught the travel bug early in life. Growing up in Canada, she often took road trips and cruises with her parents and younger brother with the understanding that traveling to a new city and getting out of your comfort zone could not only be enjoyable, but a path to self-growth. 'My mom and dad would say 'Go places, explore the culture, meet new people, get lost, discover things about the world and then come back with an entirely new perspective," she says. 'So that's what I did. Shay Mitchell posing with items from the new Béis campus collection. Courtesy Of Béis After high school, Mitchell decided to forgo college to explore Thailand and Hong Kong. Modeling and acting gigs followed in her twenties, including landing the role of Emily Fields in the cult-favorite Freeform series, Pretty Little Liars , which allowed her to see the world on a much larger scale. And as the packing and unpacking became more frequent, Mitchell noticed that she struggled to find products that kept up with her fast-paced wanderlust. 'I realized I could easily find luggage that was really loud and inexpensive or I could get something that was super out of my budget that didn't have the functionality that I needed,' she says. 'But there was a no man's land when it came to bags that were affordable, stylish and durable. That's when the light bulb went off—I could talk about bags all day, I loved to travel and I had the experience and passion to explore what a great product could look like.' In 2018, Mitchell officially launched Béis, a luggage and lifestyle company that quickly disrupted the $17 billion luggage industry with its modern designs and social media savvy. Most recently, the brand unveiled their Campus collection, jam-packed with sleek book totes, backpacks, messengers, roller bags and more, in rich fall-ready colors and patterns like burgundy and tapestry. And as a founder and chief creative officer, Mitchell has also become somewhat of a viral packing whiz herself, often showcasing her travel tips and tricks to Béis' 1.2 million Instagram followers. Her packing specialty? Knowing just the right amount of stuff to bring for quick trips, so that you have everything you need without feeling weighed down. 'Even though I consider myself an overpacker, I still get by with a Carry-On Roller and a bag topper, like our East To West Tote, plus a Sport Sling or crossbody for a quick trip,' she says. 'Why? Because I can fit all of my clothes, shoes and some toiletries in my carry-on. In my tote, I store my jewelry and sunglasses, any expensive designer bags, my tech kit, snacks and then my In Flight Cosmetics Set where I keep all the little things I'll need in transit. And then I do a Sport Sling so I can pop in my water bottle and explore an area hands-free. It's my go-to, especially when I'm juggling my two kids [Atlas and Rome] while on the road.' As for her in-flight must-haves, Mitchell relies on a rotation of quality tech gadgets and soothing self-care items to pass the time, including an iPad and AirPods to catch up on her TV shows, a light-blocking sleep mask, moisturizing chamomile hand cream and a travel tumbler filled with HydraLyte.

OGX Repair & Protect Bond Protein Repair Sealing Serum $10 A Top-Rated Carry-On With Compression Technology 'For my luggage, I often do a more monochromatic vibe with a camel carry-on and a camel bag topper, but Béis fans have been asking for burgundy and I'm so excited we just launched this shade in our new Campus collection. I'm going to use the burgundy carry-on for the first time on a trip this month and I love how well it goes with the new tapestry bags.' Béis The Carry-On Roller $268 A Leakproof Water Tumbler 'I love this water bottle—the handle and sealable straw on the lid seals the deal,' she says of the Hydrojug Traveler that's available in more than 20 colors and keeps beverages hot or cold for 24 hours. 'I always have a jug that I bring with me because I don't love to drink out of plastic. So I fill up my bottle at the airport and then I have wellness drops that I dump in there, too.' Hydrojug Traveler $40 A Delicious Way To Stay Hydrated 'Sitting on a plane is hard work—your body will feel better if you stay hydrated. I always have my Lemon and Passion Fruit HydraLyte in my carry-on so I can stock up on needed electrolytes before landing.' Shay Mitchell x HydraLyte Advance Hydration Lemon Squeeze $25 A Deeply Moisturizing Sheet Mask 'After a long day outside I love to sleep in this sheet mask under an eye mask—it's perfection,' says Mitchell of the low-molecular weight collagen mask by Biodance that minimizes the look of pores and increases skin elasticity. Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask $19 A Waterproof Mascara That Stays Put On Long Flights 'If I had to choose my favorite makeup items to bring on a flight, it would be a brow pencil and then a mascara. This classic and flawless formula makes even my shorter eyelashes look sky high.' Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara $8 A Brow Pencil For Quick Touch Ups 'I only trust one person with my brows and if I can't have her, then this brow pencil is the next best thing,' she says. The ultra-fine pencil comes in three shades and makes it easy to fill and shape brows on the go. Kelley Baker Brow Defining Pencil $26 A Portable Charger To Stay Powered Up 'The best gift anybody could ever give me is a portable charger. I can never have enough. In fact, I always travel with two extra ones because you always end up needing a backup,' says Mitchell. Her most recent favorite is this Anker 337 device that charges gadgets twice as fast as a standard power bank. Anker 337 Power Bank $65 A Soothing Hand Cream For Less Than $20 'I have to travel with hand lotion because I hate dry hands,' says Mitchell, who notes that this Glysomed Hand Cream with chamomile and glycerine gets the job done. 'I usually have a few different lotions all over the place and especially in my In Flight Kit, so I can just moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.' Glysomed Hand Cream $10 A 100% Light-Blocking Silk Sleep Mask 'I always have a sleeping mask in my airplane bag, as well as eye drops,' says Mitchell, who loves this light-blocking mulberry silk style by Dore & Rose. 'I'll also pop on a sheet mask too and moisturize as I rest.' Dore & Rose Aura Sleeping Mask $56 Black Pumps That Go With Everything 'I like to pack around a few staple items, so I always have a pair of black stilettos, a black dress, black pants and jeans, but then different jackets, including a jean jacket and leather coat, plus different accessories, hats and bags, so I can mix and match and create different looks.' Gia Borghini Abella Pumps $301 A Chic Black Dress That Can Be Dressed Up Or Down 'This is the perfect summer dress and LBD in one,' says Mitchell of this organic cotton Matteau midi dress that's also available in blue and green. 'I tend to pack outfits like this in my packing cubes, so I'll can easily pull them out when I arrive.' Matteau Shirred Bodice Dress $520 AND UP A Sporty Sling Bag To Keep Valuables Close 'I love the Sport Sling because I can pop my water bottle in there and be hands-free. It's my go-to for everyday use, especially when I'm juggling my two kids while on the road. If I am in Paris or a similar location and I want to be a little bit more elevated, then I'll grab my Travel Crossbody. Both options are perfect for holding my passport, wallet, cell phone—the real essentials.' Béis The Sport Sling $68 A Tablet To Catch Up On TV Shows 'You'll never catch me without my iPad on a flight,' says Mitchell, who also travels with her Apple Airpods Max headphones so she can catch up on episodes of her favorite shows. 'I always have my iPad with downloaded shows ahead of time. I also use an app that has a subscription to a bunch of magazines. It's so much easier than having to buy them all at the airport.' Apple iPad Air $599 AND UP A Clear Carry-All That Holds All Your Essentials 'Our Stadium Tote was such a hit last year, we decided to bring it back—but not before improving it. We perfected the design and organizational components and are offering it in multiple colorways.' Béis The Stadium Tote $78 How To Summer Like Shay With the busy summer travel season in full swing, Mitchell shares some of her top tips for jet-setting without breaking a sweat. Packing Cubes Are Your Friend 'Packing cubes are my favorite way to stay organized while traveling—I even use them in a carry-on bag,' says Mitchell. 'If I'm traveling with my kids, then I'll do a packing cube for Atlas, one for Rome, one for myself and then separate ones for toiletries, gym clothes and pajamas. It makes life so much easier because you just pull them out, sit them on top of the counter or put them in a drawer and things stays organized. It also makes repacking a lot quicker.' Plan Vacation Outfits Ahead Of Time 'When I'm packing for a trip, I like to take photos of the outfits that I want to wear and then I refer back to them because I don't want to be spending the majority of my day trying to figure out what I'm going to be wearing,' she says. 'Whether you have photos saved in your Notes app or just in your camera roll it makes life so much easier.' Stick To The Wardrobe Basics 'On trips, I like to bring closet staples that I can build outfits around, so I'll do a jean jacket, leather coat, black pants, white tank, and then I'll mix and match things to create different looks,' she says. 'I also always have a pair of black stilettos, a black dress, and different accessories and bags so it doesn't always look like it's the same thing.' Don't Forget A Beach Bag 'I usually forget to bring a beach bag on a summer trip, so when I remember, I'm always proud,' says Mitchell. 'Especially if you have kids, it's crucial because you don't really want to bring your bag topper to the beach or keep buying new beach bags on vacation. When we made our Beach Tote, we made sure it was foldable and created with quick-drying mesh. Plus, it holds your sun hat on the outside, which is awesome.' Go To Your Happy Place 'I love planning trips and now being able to share these experiences with my kids is really special,' she says. 'Going to France and Italy is amazing, especially in the summer. Anytime I touch down in Europe, I get a cheese platter and it just makes me so happy. I have such an appreciation for the food in different places. New Zealand and Korea are next on my travel bucket list.'
