Summer is in full swing (or in some places wrapping up!), and with Vegas becoming the literal surface of the sun, we desert dwellers can often yearn for that perfect getaway.
While Travel is a great way to unwind and rejuvenate, it can sometimes take a toll on our health and wellness - but fret not!
With my curated list of must-have travel items, you'll be able to sustain your health regimen without compromises, wherever your wanderlust takes you.

FITNESS ON-THE-GO
Travel can often disrupt our regular fitness routines. Between flights, hotel stays, and a schedule filled with sightseeing or relaxation, it might be tempting to put one’s exercise regimen on the back burner.
Keeping fit while traveling doesn't have to be a daunting task. With these fitness essentials, you can ensure that you maintain your workout routine wherever you go, whether it's a quick stretch in a hotel room, a yoga session on a beach, or even a HIIT workout in a park.
Taking your fitness routine on vacation is a breeze with Alo Moves, my favorite online fitness platform by Alo Yoga. With a vast array of pilates, yoga, HIIT, meditation, and relaxation videos, you can stay fit no matter where you go. PS: Alo Yoga’s Air Mat is a definite must-have in your travel bag - check out their Vacation Edit for inspo!
For a stylish workout on the go, Bala Bangles are also fantastic. These colorful, wearable weights can effortlessly turn any activity into a workout, keeping you fit even when traveling. (Plus they are CUTE.)

MAKEUP + SKINCARE ESSENTIALS
When it comes to skincare and makeup, I've got a few reliable companions I never travel without.
My favs at OSEA Malibu are always in my travel bag. Their line of vegan and cruelty-free skincare products are made with organic seaweed and high-quality, natural ingredients, perfect for providing that deep hydration your skin craves while traveling. Plus, most of their options are available in travel sizes! Check out the Skincare Sets page to browse their various Travel Collections, all packed in a chic, vegan leather toiletry bag.
NuFace is another brand that I absolutely swear by. The NuFace Trinity device is a facial trainer tool that contours and rejuvenates your face, ensuring you look your best even on your travels. It's also compact and travel-friendly, which makes it a perfect addition to your luggage.
Adding to the skincare routine, SolaWave is known for their skincare wand which combines several proven skincare technologies (Red Light Therapy, Galvanic Current, Facial Massage, and Therapeutic Warmth) into one tool. It is compact, rechargeable, and perfect for a quick skin refresh after a long flight or car ride.
Of course, we can't forget about sun protection (or my mom will call and yell at me). SuperGoop! Sunscreen's (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35 is a savior when it comes to defending your skin against harmful UV rays. This 100% mineral, non-nano setting powder not only protects your skin but also sets your makeup, providing a matte finish. It's easy to apply and reapply throughout the day, making it a travel must-have.
And last but not least, to keep your hair looking fabulous, I recommend Evolvh Haircare products. Their nutrient-infused formulas provide hydration and nourishment to your hair, ensuring it stays healthy and lustrous even under travel-induced stress. Travel sizes abound on their site!
Honorable Mentions: Supergoop!’s eyeshadow and newly released SPF lipsticks are also travel bag staples I swear by. Pacifica Beauty, tarte Cosmetics, Winky Lux, and Ecco Bella all offer travel sizes and makeup that I use on the go and especially when I travel.

NUTRIENT-RICH FOOD + SUPPLEMENTS
Our first stop on the nutrient-rich food train (toot toot) has to be none other than my favs at Sakara Life. When traveling, it’s easy to fall into the trap of indulging in local delicacies, often at the expense of balanced nutrition.
Sakara Life’s meal programs can provide that much-needed nutritional balance. They deliver fresh, organic, ready-to-eat meals to your doorstep, making them a great choice when on vacation. If you are a subscriber, you can change the address on your meal delivery, skip weeks at your leisure (as long as it is before the Weds 12am EST deadline for the week), and swap out meals as you like.
Their offerings are 100% plant-based and gluten-free, carefully crafted to maintain your body's nutritional balance.
Don't forget to check out their online store for my beloved Probiotics (one of my most important travel hacks), Metabolism Super Powder, and Protein + Greens. Both powders come in conveniently-sized travel packets in addition to their larger bags.
Superfoods are also helpful in maintaining one’s health during travel, and this is where Kroma Wellness steps in. They offer a variety of travel-friendly superfood offerings and resets in shelf stable packets that help combat common travel woes such as jet lag, stress, and digestive issues.
The "Travel Kit” includes six superfood sachets perfectly portioned with convenient, crave-able meals, boosts, and beverages meant to be enjoyed wherever you are, along with Kroma’s signature Shaker (the easiest way to prepare Kroma on the go) and a chic canvas tote so you can take Kroma wherever you roam, ensuring you stay healthy and energetic throughout your trip.

SUSTAINABLE HYDRATION
Last, but by no means least, are some of my hacks for staying hydrated during hectic travel schedules! (Staying hydrated is a must, especially during Summer. Personally I get headaches when I don’t stay on top of my water consumption.)
Corkcicle's canteens and tumblers are triple-insulated and keep your drink cold for up to 25 hours or hot for 12, making them perfect for long trips. They are stylish, reusable, and come in a variety of sizes and colors to suit your style.
Each person in my family has at least two Corkcicle bottles, a Cold Cup, and a Tumbler of their choice, and we can’t imagine travel without them. (We also love the Chillpod!)
Moon Juice just released a brand new product meant to function as a 2 for 1: electrolytes + minerals for hydration and brain function. It’s called Mini Dew and I’ve been trying it out recently. This electrolyte powder tastes like organic watermelon, a pinch of minerals, and a dash of pink salt. It instantly dissolves in water and contains zero sugar. Win-win-win!
Honorable Mentions: Vega’s Sugar-Free Energizer (the tub is really tiny but it is so helpful to have a boost when needed!), and Sakara Life’s Energy Effervescence (recently back in stock!).

By incorporating my curated solutions into your summer travel plans, you'll be equipped to embrace the summer fun with VIGOUR.
Travel safe, stay healthy, and don't forget to enjoy every moment of your summer vacation!
