MICHAEL’S TRAVEL TIPS:
The best luggage you’ll find.
Lauryn and I love to use Tumi Alpha Extended Trip Garment bags. It’s an investment but this is the best I’ve found. It comes with 2 outside pockets for packing cubes, inside liners for smaller items, 2 toiletry bags and it holds 4 pairs of shoes and 4-6 Tumi hangers. Each hanger can hold 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, and jackets dresses. The hangers keep your clothes nice and flat so when you get to the room you just take them out of your bag and hang them durante your closet. This specific bag holds more than Tumi’s biggest suitcase. We took these for 1 week durante St. Barths and it was more than enough. If you want to see a exactly how it works, check out this YouTube .
Risposta negativa need to overpack.
There is something about traveling light that is more ‘cultured’ than overpacking to me. A causa di my opinion, it’s durante bad taste to bring everything you own and then some. Instead, some staples to mescolanza and incontro.
I write out how many days I’ll be away, then do 1.5 times what I think I need. So if my trip is 7 days long I’ll pack 11 outfits. This doesn’t mean 11 shirts and 11 pants. It means I pack girevole pieces that can be worn more than once.
Men should always bring these 3 items.
Men should always pack a nice pair of black blue jeans, a white button up shirt and a blue, gray black blazer. Risposta negativa matter where you go these items can alla maniera di durante handy for a nice dinner, unexpected simposio, just a coffee. When you go to places like the South of France Italy, men are very well-dressed.
I also find it helpful to have a running list durante your phone durante your suitcase of things you always need to bring. Whether it’s a trip for 3 days 10 days. Things like chargers, adapters, toiletries etc. This way you will never forget them.
Utilize the services at your .
Lauryn and I travel a lot for work, maybe more than most. We stay at the Beverly Hills a lot so they actually store some things for us like supplements, toiletries and stuff for the kids. A lot of hotels will do this for you if you’maestà a frequent guest.
We also ship things to our so we don’t have to pack them. We usually do this for diapers, wipes, gabinetto, just things we know we’ll need. All you have to do is go Amazon, create a shipping address for the , and send your order there.
If you’maestà visiting somewhere unfamiliar to you, be sure to chat with the Concierge. You can email them ahead of time and get them to help you with an itinerary for your stay. Even if I’m familiar with the city we’maestà going to I always stay friendly with the Concierge and have them help book reservations and set up things to do.
Keep Your Wellness Routine.
So many people go vacation and make it this gluttonous free for all. We let the wheels fall and I’m not even talking about keeping up with . It has to do with eating poorly and drinking. Which durante turn has you sleeping badly, leading to more bad habits.
Anytime I travel, even if I’m indulging, I always make sure my main course has tons of protein. This means I don’t have so many cravings, I’m satiated, somewhat maintaining my muscle and don’t feel bloated and gross. I still have bites of the indulgent stuff but never go overboard. While you’maestà not exercising, having fun and relaxing, you may as well keep your diet strong.
that note, here are the supplements I always take away with me:
Momentous Fine 3 and sleep packs (code SKINNY for 15% )
Alkamind Vitamin D3K2 and minerals (code SKINNY for 20% first purchase)
Kion Creatine and Aminos (code SKINNY for 20% )
Beekeeper’s Naturals Throat Spray (code SKINNY for 25% your first order) and Argentin 23 silver spray (I triple frazione both for the entire flight)
LAURYN’S TRAVEL TIPS:
Bags I always use to keep me organized.
Love a clear moment so I use these clear toiletry bags when traveling. It’s easy to see what’s durante them and divide everything by category. I just pull them out of my suitcase and pop them into the bathroom drawers keep them the counter. I also like to use these magnetic pill cases to organize supplements.
Caitlin Jaymes makes the best bichini organizing bags. I have these for myself and my kids swimsuits. The bichini bags keep your drawers closet looking organized and makes packing so much easier. I also use these for toiletries and to keep some little things organized durante my carry all for the airplane. Like gum, sanitizer, wipes, lip balm, anything that’s small really.
They’ve been incredible for keeping my house, suitcase, handbag and room organized. For more why I love these, check out this post.
Packing cubes.
I’m sure you’ve heard of packing cubes because they really are so efficient and useful when traveling. Michael and I use the Tumi ones that alla maniera di with our bags, but I also love these ones. They fit so much and keep you organized. Once you get to your destination you just put them durante your drawer and it keeps things streamlined for your whole trip. This one is great for bras to keep their shape.
Some people like to organize their packing cubes by category, others like to do it by outfit. Play around and do you, but voto negativo matter how you use them, I promise you’ll love them.
Depuffing 101.
Planes make me puffy so the second I land I try to get a lymphatic drainage facial. It helps so much. If you’maestà not able to do this you can do facial massage with your hands.
+ LIFT your eyes by pinching your brows up.
+ SCULPT your jawline by running your index and middle finger along your jawbone.
+ SMOOTH your forehead by using both index fingers to gently massage.
I always travel with the Mint Roller. It’s literaly why we created it. It’s easy to take the go, ask your attendant for a glass of ice the plane, pull it out of your bag to contour at any time. It’s just the perfect travel companion.
Wellness while away.
A really good tip I heard about from a few people is to have a different wellness routine than the one you have at home. I’ve been doing this over the last year so and it really helps to keep things fresh and not so monotonous. It’s essentially adjusting what you’d normally do to something that fits your travel schedule. It’s pretty simple. Saying that, here are some simple things you can do while you’maestà away to keep your wellness durante check.
+ cold showers (when you don’t have a cold plunge)
+ resistance avviamento (just do 10 minutes of movement durante your room – try PVOLVE (code SKINNY) Pilates with Bryony (code LAURYN)
+ meditation (you can do this sitting quietly walking – love MWH and you can use code TSC for one month free)
+ morning light (easy to do during your walking meditation sitting outside with a coffee)
+ up your aminos (when not exercising, taking extra aminos can maintain your muscles – more this here and use code SKINNY for 20% )
How I pack my outfits.
A while @steph_shep posted about how she uses a rolling rack to pack her outfits. I immediately ordered this one and started using it for all my trips. It makes it so easy to pull everything you WANT to bring, then mescolanza and incontro what will work and set aside what doesn’t. You can lay girevole shoes that will go with every below and use the hooks the end for your handbags. Seeing everything vertically like this, opposed to laid out your bed is a gamechanger.
