I’m having one of those “is it Friday yet?” kind of weeks. I usually try to break up my week with dinner plans and other fun extracurriculars, so most of the time I’m not living for the weekend; however, I’m just really itching for a few days off at the moment.
Naturally my mind is shifting to weekend plans and potential getaways. Luckily I always keep a few travels essentials on hand, so that I’m always prepared for a spontaneous getaway. A bit of prepared spontaneity, I guess.
Here’s some of my absolute favorites for a weekend getaway:
1. The ultimate weekender bag. I LOVE this bag by Everlane – it’s basic, fashionable, and the perfect size! And the price is right at just $95. Available online
2. Favorite PJs by Eberjey. Cute. Comfy. Can’t live without them. I pack these for every trip — they are heaven. Available online for $97.
3. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I sleep with eye shades, but I do. It’s very Holly Golightly of me, I know. I actually freak out if I forget to pack my eye shades, so I’m considering buying a spare to keep in my weekender bag at all times. I found my favorite pair (pictured above) at Journelle in NYC, and they just came out with this new version, which I might have purchase – I love!
4. Moisture spray is essential for me. I have very sensitive skin, and if I’m going to be spending several hours in a plane, train, or automobile, I like to make sure that my skin stays hydrated. I love the spring water spray by Eau Thermale Avène. This spray is soothing and great for sensitive skin — just a quick mist midway through your journey, and you’ll feel refreshed and ready for your trip! Avène spray is widely available at drugstores like Duane Reade and Wallgreens — at under $10, this is definitely one of my favorite drugstore buys.
5. Of course I never leave my house without my vitamins! Travel essentials for me include: B12 for energy, C to ward off contagions, and biotin to keep my hair, skin and nails looking great.
Now I just have to decide where to go…only 3 more days until Friday!
