Summer is right around the corner, and it is time to get outside and soak up the sun. The weather is great, the kids are out of school, and it’s the perfect time to seek adventure and make memories.

The key to a successful trip begins before you pack your suitcases in the car. These travel essentials will help you have a great vacation.

Bedgear’s Storm Performance travel pillow is a must-have for travelers. The carrying case easily slides onto the handle of your luggage, making moving it through the airport a breeze. Not only does it prevent a buildup of heat, it feels cool to the touch. You won’t believe how much better sleep you will get with this pillow.

Traveling and summer weather can both take a toll on your skin. Rehydrate and refresh your skin with the Hydrator in Chief by Pietro Simone. His blend of antioxidant and hydration components work together to replace and maintain a proper level of hydration while botanical extracts work to improve the surface of your skin. Pack the Hydrator in Chief on your next trip; your skin will thank you.

It can be easy to overlook self-care when you’re traveling and on the go. Zion Health has products with natural fragrances that allow you to pamper yourself after a day of fun and adventure. The Bergamot Rose Clay Bar Soap and Bath Bomb will both leave your skin feeling (and smelling) amazing, while the White Rose Lotion helps rehydrate skin after spending time in the sun.

Packing for a trip becomes much easier when you have the Nomatic Travel Pack. Perfect for short trips, it can be used as a backpack or briefcase. It’s made from water-resistant materials, has pockets for water bottles and RFID storage. Out of packing space? The pack can expand by 50%, so there’s room for last-minute additions.  

Vacations can be ruined by sleepless nights leading to groggy days. “Do Not Disturb” sleep supplements by Life Happns can help you get restful sleep while traveling. The capsules help muscles relax, reduce stress, and help reduce the effects of caffeine on your sleep. Do Not Disturb helps you relax after a busy day, allowing you to get a restorative night’s rest and play hard the next day.  

The Duracell 2000 Lumen Tri-Power Lantern is a powerhouse and should always accompany you when you travel. Since it uses three different power sources (solar, batteries, and a charger), you will never have to worry about losing your light source. It doubles as a power bank allowing you to charge your phone or tablet when there isn’t an electrical outlet in sight.

Quantum Energy Square

Half snack and half energy bar, these delicious squares of chocolatey goodness have the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. These plant-based bars are made with organic green coffee beans and whole foods. The caffeine is absorbed slowly, so you won’t experience the jitters and crashes normally associated with energy drinks. The individually wrapped bars are easy to pack for travel and can help relieve the symptoms of jet lag.

I tried the Quantum Energy Squares out for myself. They were tasty, easy to eat on the go, and most importantly, gave me a much-needed energy boost to get me through a day of traveling.

Anyone who has ever tried to apply sunscreen to their child will love the Sunny Stik. Despite our best efforts, most of us get more sunblock on ourselves than the children. The Sunny Stik will change all of that. It’s super easy: squeeze sunscreen onto the foam tip and then swipe to apply quickly and (most importantly) evenly.

COR Surf Packing Cubes offer compression to save space in your suitcase; you can also save money at the airport by using a carry-on instead of checked luggage. The cubes are three-and-a-half inches thick when unzipped; when compressed and zipped up, they are just 2 inches thick. You can choose from beautiful designs in small, medium, or large packing cubes. The four-pack includes all three plus a rectangular packing cube.

The LectroFan Micro 2 Portable Bluetooth Sleep Sound Machine will help you relax and fall asleep quickly after a day of non-stop fun and memory-making. Drift off while enjoying the sound of ocean waves, white noise, or several other options. Connect your Bluetooth to play your favorite songs or connect to your phone to place a call. You will wonder how you ever traveled with this versatile product.
