I’ve been anxiously anticipating the arrival of this day because Mike and I fly to Seattle this morning! Neither of us have been to the Pacific Northwest before, so we cannot wait to explore the area! I thought I’d share a little “what’s in my carry-on” because I’m nosy and like knowing what other people bring with them when they travel.
If you follow me on Snapchat (@laurelizabeth4), then you’ve seen this backpack before. Yes, a backpack. I was reaaaal skeptical when I saw that they were coming back around to be a “cool” thing, but I’m all about options that don’t induce shoulder pain (lookin’ at you, crossbody bags), so a backpack it is! I still feel a little bit like a tween when I put it on, but comfort is king and it doesn’t get much better than evenly distributed weight that isn’t in your way, amiright?!
I try to keep it pretty simple in my carry-on. Only the essentials, but also some things that I may need. We have a 4 hour and change flight, so I’m anticipating getting real bored and doing about 100 different activities. I always travel with my iPad – to read, watch a show, play games, or write things down. I’ve come to find that I can be really productive on planes, so I like to bring a notebook and pen, too. Headphones, a phone charger, some lip balm and hand lotion (airplanes dry out my skin like crazy), and sunglasses for when we arrive.
Because it’s going to be a pretty long flight, I like to bring along just a few makeup products to help refresh me when we get off the plane. My favorite tinted lip balm, a beauty elixir to add some moisture, concealer, bronzer, and blush to brighten up my cheeks!
I like to bring some other non-essential, but useful items. Bandaids, hairspray (#planesflattenmyhair), aspirin, Lavender essential oil to help me sleep and relax, floss, a hair tie and clip.
I can organize all the small things into little pouches that fit perfectly into the backpack. This backpack is small but mighty – it can fit a surprising amount!

I hope you have a great trip. I can't wait to hear about it on your blog, which I love by the way! I was is Seattle when I was little but would like to go back with my husband.
You are coming to my city! 🙂 And it's a beautiful day today! Enjoy your visit!!
I'm a Melbourne (Australia) girl who visited Seattle this time last year and I've got a great coffee recommendation for you – Monorail Espresso on Pike St. It's near the Sheraton Hotel. Try a Cubano – I'm not sure it's on the menu!
Hooray for the oil! Love that you're enjoying it. 🙂 And, I love that tiny Kenra. They don't sell stuff like that out here in the boonies. Ha.
Those are some great collection of products.
All women stuffs.
I will send it over to my wife she will know what to do with them best.
