8 Travel Gadgets You’ll Want Before The Next Trip
In an Amazon world of gadgets and bits-n-bobs in every scroll, it causes one’s eyes to go cross and slightly lose focus on what you really need for a trip.
But today my friend, YOU FOUND ME TO HELP YOU from the mindless scroll + dumping a bunch of sch-tuff into your cart and hope you’re not racing back and forth to the UPS store returning it all.
Another travel good to get each Thursday is my weekly email with all the travel tips, style goods and the best things in Middle Life Travels::

Now let’s jump into the…
8 travel gadgets
1/ Carry-All Travel Toiletry Bag
A bargain for sure! Along with a variety of colors and patterns to pick from. If my carry-on is full, I leave it open so it lays flat in my suitcase.
Packing light for a trip, I zip-per-her-up and pack it that way. I had one of my bottles open once and it didn’t leak outside the zipper pouch 🙌🏼 Not even a drop! {Spillage contained + easy to clean}
Everything has it’s place…
And stays in its spot. I have the medium size toiletry bag
2/ Lotions & Potions Travel Containers
These pink cuties cozy up perfectly inside a toiletry bag and haven’t let a spill happen since – not one little drop.
Perfect for facial moisturizer, hand lotion, hair gel, + my eczema cream.
Squeeze from your big at-home containers into these silicone travel pots and you’re ready for {insert destination here}!
3/ Make-up Brush Holder/Protector
If you apply your makeup with brushes this silicone case keeps them clean and contained. But, if you fly loose-n-fancy-free you can use the elastic bands in the toiletry bag above too😉
I have the zip closure, but if you like a clasp-close THIS ONE is popular.
Don’t like your face brush rubbing next to your toothpaste? Me either!
Silicone brush case separates your brushes + it’s simple to wash.
Before I’m burned at the stake by environmentalists everywhere, I only use these when I travel🙈 It’s easier, takes up less space – and if you’ve ever forgotten your favorite {and a bit spendy} makeup remover bottle in a hotel – these are a dreammmmm.
Take the exact number you need for a trip
2 other liquid-free travel cleansers I use::
Melts- Small squares you add water too when ready
Compressed Face Towels- Come in small discs. Run water & they expand into a large wash cloth
5/ Perfectly Lit Travel Mirror
Lighting is EVERYTHING in photography + applying makeup! Dark, windowless, best-place-to-paste-on-your-clown-face hotel bathrooms don’t give good light.
Better lighting options with this travel gadget.
I take this mirror and stand it up next to my vacation rental or hotel window light.
{Nothing is better than natural light}
If you’ve peeked on the blog, social, or my email notes, a time or two, you know me + coffee = a good day for all humans around☺️
I recently came across these precious little packets of liquid heaven and they’ve made it into my suitcase ever since☕️
Sleek to pack and easy to use in your vacation rental or hotel room.
If you live near a Midwest Costco they’re carrying a regular Copper Cow coffee + creamer combo. If you like flavors, have a click on the image and see what you can pack for your next trip. Mmmmmmmm☕️
Be sure you have the correct outlet plugs for international travel
Take along TWO {unless you’re traveling alone} so when both phones need charging at the same time you’re not rock-paper-scissoring it to see who gets to charge.😉
Protect your Macbook, iPad, Kindle…when traveling.
But also find one that has EASY ACCESS for the times you’re asked to take all electronics out of your bag going thru TSA
