    One of the most exciting parts about the summer season is that many of us have vacations on the books to get away and unwind from the stress of our daily lives.

    Taking regular vacations is a fantastic way to boost your emotional well-being and your physical health. Keep reading these 5 Summer Travel Essentials For Women for all the essentials you'll need for your summer travels.

    5 Summer Travel Essentials For Women

    Did you know that people who take regular vacations are at a lower risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke? Did you know that heart disease is the NUMBER ONE killer of women?! When we take a break, even just a short vacation, we relax, we release stress, we breathe...and we live happier, longer lives. 

    If that isn't motivation to get out there and see someplace new, what is? Since one of the biggest reasons for getaways is to feel better and stress less, don't let remembering what to pack be a stressful experience for you. 

    A Great Tote Bag to Carry Your Everyday Items 

    Maybe you want to skip the basic backpack and opt for a more stylish tote bag for your travels. Check out Lu & Elle, makers of amazingly unique tote bags, wristlets and pouches!

    Lu & Elle Tote Bags, Purses and Pouches

    Pro Travel Tip:

    When packing your daily needs items, you have them in your handbag or carry-on luggage in one convenient location. These are the last ones you want to lose of all the things you pack. 

    Don't forget the stylish travel pouches!

    Get organized while staying fashionable with the fabulous and functional pouches from Lu & Elle! Offering globally inspired and effortless bohemian handbags.

    Lu & Elle uses beautiful ethnic fabrics and interesting details to embody a relaxed, yet playful wanderlust vibe.

    Celebrating unique fashion tastes with modern twists, these travel accessories are mindfully made, and there is something for everyone looking to add a bit of style and culture to their travel wardrobes! You can check out Lu & Elle here!

    Save the Girls Travel Purses

    Save the Girls invented see-through, touch screen purses to simplify and potentially save women's lives. Rather than fumbling for your phone when you receive a text or call, with a Save the Girls purse you will seamlessly use all of your phone's features while it remains secure in a gorgeous, well-designed purse.

    Save the Girls Travel Purses

    No more cracked screens! Plus, you don't have to keep them directly "on your body" like in a pocket or even in your bra, like the owner's sister-in-law did before this business came along!

    Sadly, where she kept her phone, in her bra, is also where she developed breast cancer. Well, the owner, who is also a mother of five children, was not about to let her children keep their cell phones on their bodies, so she invented "Save The Girls" purses! 

    Save the Girls Travel Purses

    She developed a way for women and girls alike to safely, securely and fashionably carry their phones! She donates a percentage of sales to breast cancer research! So far, Save The Girls has donated over $32,000! 

    Available on Amazon.com!

    Keep it all contained with Cincha Travel Belts!

    Imagine a cute seat belt for your bag that will keep it secure and snug around your luggage and off of airport surfaces, freeing your hands for the important things (like holding your coffee, checking flight status, and adjusting your mask).

    Cincha Travel Belts are available on Etsy!

    5 Summer Travel Essentials For Women

    The Cincha Travel Belt is designed with a nylon strap and vegan leather accents, an elastic fitter to reduce extra slack, and a quick-release metal buckle to secure your personal bag to your luggage!

     Plus you can add your monogram, with 18 colors to choose from. Click it, cinch it, and off you go.

    Giveback: The brand is dedicated to reuniting families and recognizes the persistent migrant crisis in our country by donating 100 airline miles per travel belt purchased to Miles4Migrants to help reconnect migrant families.

    Kedzie Coast to Coast Crossbody Bag

    I just got back from a week in Barcelona with Nick and I used the Kedzie Coast to Coast Crossbody Bag so much! This purse can be carried over the shoulder or cross the body. Perfect for keeping your personal belongings: wallet, eyeglass holder, keys, cell phone, credit cards or passport.

    A Good Sun Hat 

    Heat exhaustion is real, and preventing it is so easy! On top of making sure you stay hydrated (bring your reusable water bottle), getting in the shade and keeping your body cool is essential.

    Stay looking chic and comfortable by packing a chic sun hat in your luggage!

    5 Summer Travel Essentials For Women

    Hats are a great way to keep your head cool, and your face shaded. In addition to keeping you comfortable, hats protect the delicate skin on your face, which is prone to sun damage quicker than the rest of your body.

    No matter where you are traveling to this summer, be sure to bring a sun hat! Wallaroo Hats has a packable, lightweight fashionable sun hat that is specifically made for sun protection.

    Specializing in UPF-protective headwear, Wallaroo Hats received the Skin Cancer Foundation’s seal of recommendation for adequate sun protection, meaning each style has a UPF rating of at least 30+ and a minimum brim width of three inches.

    This protects skin from 96-97.5% of the sun’s harmful rays, ideal for hot days spent outdoors. Styles like the Kristy and Aria are a few hats that would be a great option for a useful, yet fashionable hat to take with you during your travels. I love that it is packable and doesn't get ruined in my suitcase or backpack!

    Don't forget the SPF for your body and your face! 

    I love the new YOURS Invisible Sunscreen Sunny Side Up SPF 30 - it literally just sprays right on, and it's not greasy!

    YOURS Invisible Sunscreen Sunny Side Up SPF 30

    A water-based broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen mist for all-day protection from sun exposure and blue light. No white cast, no shine, no breakouts. Packed with high protection filters, Soliberine, Vitamin E and Swiss Buddleja flower extract which has anti-ageing and antioxidant properties.

    • INVISIBLE AND NON-OILY, MOISTURIZING – features Vitamin E, a moisturizing yet non-greasy ingredient that fade dark spots and repairs skin damage caused by smoke, pollution and sun exposure
    • LIGHTWEIGHT, WATER-BASED, SITS WELL WITH MAKEUP – designed with a mist spray for easy application and SPF touch ups on-the-go. The formula is so lightweight it glides over makeup, won’t break you out, or leave you with a greasy shine
    • UV PROTECTION – powered by Buddleja flower extracts found high in the Swiss Alps that have a natural ability to protect against skin damage from sun exposure and blue light from digital screens
    • PREVENTS PREMATURE AGING – diminish fine lines and wrinkles with Buddleja flower extract, an anti-aging and a skin protectant. Clean, plant-based formulation – Only sustainabily-sourced ingredients that are vegan, cruelty-free, phthalate-free and sulfate-free

    You can get it here on Amazon!

    Comfortable Shoes 

    Sure, you want to pack some cute wedges and heels for your nights out, and when you want to add some extra oomph to your aesthetic, comfort is vital for most of your trip. Exploring all a new city has to offer is the highlight of most vacations, and the last thing you want to do is cut your excursions short because your puppies are barking.

    Before your next trip or mini vaycay, treat yourself to some new shoes that will keep you looking as chic as you are comfy! 

    5 Summer Travel Essentials For Women

    For a quick slip on and go while you are getting your chill on, Naturalizer’s Zelda Slide Sandal is bright, bold with a smooth lining and insole for natural comfort and breathability. The Kaylin Wedge Sandal adds a lift for taking your look to a new level.

    Whether going on a casual stroll or night out on your holiday, these styles have your back for everything few and far between. 

    5 Summer Travel Essentials For Women

    Pack sensible walking shoes and even hiking boots if you're more outdoorsy. Luck favors the prepared, so having these things at the ready means, you can participate in any tourism you fancy!

    Healthy Snacks 

    Whether you're taking a road trip or boarding a Trans-Atlantic flight, making sure you keep your blood sugar levels even is a key part of enjoying travel. The whole point of taking a vacation is to feel good, and nobody feels good after eating fast food in an airport.

    Cover your bases before leaving home by packing healthy snacks like nuts, chopped veggies, and fresh fruit. Don't forget to stay hydrated, too, so you feel your best when you get off the plane. Packing along your reusable water bottle filled with plain, nourishing H20 is a great idea.

    I love traveling with MyBevi tumbler - they're a great option for using at home, in the office AND on the go!

    5 Must Haves for Summer Travel in 2021

    If you want to get fancier, fill it with something fun and healthy like herbal tea, dragon fruit juice, or collagen-infused coffee.

    Staying nourished is one of the best things you can do to keep your mood up on the way to your destination and while you're there. You can also find MyBevi on Amazon.com!

    A GREAT pair of Maui Jim Polarized Sunglasses

    Everyone knows that a great pair of sunglasses is a make or break when spending time outdoors - but have you ever sat down and thought about polarized sunglasses?

    5 Summer Travel Essentials For Women

    I've been wearing a pair of higher end sunglasses for a few years now, but they weren't polarized. I love my Maui Jim polarized sunglasses! You can get free shipping and free returns by shopping directly through them!

    A Maxi Dress 

    Maxi dresses have serious trend staying power for one reason - they look phenomenal on anyone. No matter your height, body shape, or age, maxi dresses are flattering. Additionally, they're easy to dress up or down with a switch of jewelry and footwear.

    You can wear the same maxi dress with flip flops and a messy bun during the day and transition to dinner ready by letting your hair down, adding a necklace, and formal shoes.

    What Are You Going to Do with Your Summer? Here Are a Few Suggestions

    If you don't already have a go-to maxi dress in your wardrobe, start shopping for one today.

    Make sure you get the most out of your vacation by packing the items mentioned earlier first, so you're not stressing about more minor things.

    While some are practical, like phone chargers and healthy food, others ensure you are comfortable on your trip but still selfie-ready in trendy clothing.

    As for the rest of the clothing, you pack; bring items that you look and feel your best in; the last thing you should worry about is clothing. Happy Trails!
