Squeeze nutbutters. Will never, EVER travel without them....after my travelcident where it took me 15 hours to get to Phoenix, my cell phone stopped working and my credit card company thought I'd been kidnapped. No food for that duration and never, EVER again.

Love this and YES!! Please do a travel series! I love to travel, and am starting to do it more for work, in addition to vacations, and I am the worst packer. It’s totally my downfall.

Yes please do a full travel series, including packing videos because those are my happy place. I pride myself on also being an efficient traveler and packing everything I need (18 days in Europe with only an Osprey 30L hiking backpack and a Fanny pack will forever be an accomplishment for me!), but I know there’s always room for improvement and other people DEFINITELY need the tutorials. People who are bad at airports are the bane of my existence 🫠

I could read about skincare and travel/packing tips ALL THE DAMN DAY LONG! Give us more…MORE! Also, bravo LATHER for making travel sizes for purchase. Let’s face it (hahaha, pun intended) nobody likes decanting big bottles into small travel ones. I’ve yet to find a good travel bottle that rivals a travel size from a company like LATHER. I even bought the pricey Cadence and they LEAK TOO 😡😡😡

I just started “under packing” since Covid and my-oh-my what a game changer. Would lurve all your tips and tricks. Also, with your hair, are you an up or down wearer on a flight? Any tips for avoiding static? Thanks as always 😊

I’d add my ginormous water bottle to the list! Take it through security empty, and fill up airside. No more asking the flight attendants for endless teeny cups of water. And a small tote/foldable shopper if your in flight bag is on the bulky side or you’re travelling with an airline that has tight controls on the number of items - once you’re on board, the bigger bag can go in the overhead and use the tote to corral all the bits and bobs you want handy

I got the AirFly a few flights ago from your recommendation and it’s been amazing! I just need to remember to charge it beforehand (pro tip!) Would love to know what bag/backpack/purse you use for travel?

I sent the AirFly pro to my husband and he bought ONE for our trip in May. Buying mine now. I’ve been in sales forever and I always learn from other people. More please! My rules for rookies includes the scarf as well. At least flights announce that you have to use a headset now. That was becoming untenable.

I made a travel list (in Excel) of must have items and it's been so good that I printed one for my wife and son when they started traveling a lot for work. It's great having exactly what you need (and want) on your trips.

Sort of related, my skin always breaks out when I travel. Tips for keeping skin/breakouts in check?
