    My Summer Road Trip Travel Essentials

    Are you halfway through packing for that end of summer trip and can't decide which white sneakers to pack? I spend A LOT of time on my feet during the summer, and comfort is always a top priority!

    Amelie White Platform Sneakers from LaMo

    If you’re looking for the perfect white sneaker to stay comfy and stylish, these Amelie sneakers from LaMo are perfect! They're so versatile and go with everything from your favorite sundress to jeans and tees!

    Amelie platform sneaker

    Step into comfy chic with gorgeous white women's casual platform shoes! Whether hitting the town or chilling out, these sleek lace-up sneakers keep things cool and comfortable. I like a little lift in my shoes, as I am only 5'2"!

    These comfortable platform sneakers have a memory foam footbed, so I get a little extra height without achy feet at the end of the day!

    Amelie White Platform Sneakers from LaMo

    Beauty Products That Give a Sun-Kissed Glow

    Deluvia Miracle Aloe Lotion

    This is a soothing aloe vera moisturizer for face and moisturizing cream for body, and I made sure to bring this to my home away from home at my daughter's! This aloe lotion hydrates, soothes, restores moisture after a long day in the summer heat! It soothes irritated or problem skin: rashes, eczema, psoriasis, bug bites, itchy, cracked, sunburned and tired skin.

    Deluvia hydrating aloe vera cream and body moisturizer lotion helps reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles and leaves your face and body hydrated and glowing, so you can look and feel your best, wherever you go!

    Elina Organics Sun Shelter Tinted Moisturizer

    Elina Organics’ Sun Shelter Tinted Moisturizer looks like a light makeup because it has a tint but, it also contains over 25% zinc oxide which works like a wonderful broad spectrum physical sun block. It also has nourishing ingredients like antioxidants, herbs, and pearl powder, which also assist in protecting the skin from damaging sun exposure. I love how light it is, yet it still provides coverage and evens out my skin tone!

    Ingredient Highlights: 

    • Zinc Oxide - protects your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, powerful antiseptic properties, accelerates healing, soothes irritation

I actually keep one of these travel sized Dr Plotkas Mouthwatchers in my purse, backpack AND in my travel toiletries bag. They're so portable, why not!?

    Now that I am traveling back and forth between my house and my in-laws suite at my daughter's new home, I brought my Dr Plotkas Mouthwatchers and toothpaste there so that I don't have to worry about bringing my travel bag!

    Dr Plotkas Mouthwatchers toothbrush and toothpaste

    They have flossing bristles that reach deep into grooves, under the gum line, and between teeth to break up plaque and brush away food residue before it gets a grip on your teeth. Silica and Hydroxyapatite re-mineralizes teeth with each brushing, which lowers the risk of erosion and restores your teeth to their natural whiteness.
