Pack the Perfect Carry-on Bag!


No idea on what to bring on your carry-on? Well, i got you covered. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, but being on a bus or a plane for hours at a time can get pretty boring and uncomfortable. So, I'm gonna show you some of my essentials i like to bring for a field trips, road trips, or just any trips in general. Here's some essentials on what to bring: 

1. Snacks, drinks, and gum. Who doesn't love food? Everyone sure does. For field trips, i would like to bring granola bars. Granola bars or nuts are a really great snack for the trip. They fill you up till the next meal! Some great granola bars brand would be Clif Bars, Kind Bars, Nature Valley, and Luna Bars are my fave brand of granola bars. I would also bring a sandwich or a muffin. And for drinks, i would like to bring a water bottle or vitamin water because they taste really yummy and its a better choice than a coke or soda. 

2. Magazines or a good book. I just finish The Fault in our Stars and it's such a good book. i definitely recommend it if you haven't read it. Get lost in a book and the time will fly by especially if is a long car ride or flight.

3. A thin sweater or jacket. If you're on a flight, definitely bring a thin sweater or jacket. You might never know if it might get cold. Most airplanes are set at a cool temperature so you'll be glad you're not freezing mid'air. 

4. A neck pillow. Neck pillows are a must essential. It will make sleeping on the bus or plane so much more comfortable and a blanket as well.

5. Music player and headphones. Who doesn't love music? Try downloading some new songs before you travel.  Here's some of my favorite songs at the moment: 
-Classic by MKTO
-Problem by Ariana Grande ft, Iggy Azalea
- Ready for Anything by Landon Austin
-Nothin' On You by B.o.B ft, Bruno Mars
-I'm ready by AJR
-Dancing Shoes, Til the Stars Burn Blue, and Don't Wanna Wake Up by The Score
-Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys and Jay Z
-She looks so percent by Six Seconds of Summer
-Latch by disclosure
-Me and My Broken Heart by Rixton

6. A camera to capture memories, your ipad, your phone, wallet, and chargers

7. Pads and tampons. You might never know you might have your period when you travel. it's always a great thing to have in your carry'on just in case. :)

8. Medicine. Whatever medicine you're taking, be sure to bring it. If you get motion sickness like i do, i would recommend bringing Bonine or Dramamine Motion Sickness tablets/pills. You can find them at Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Target, or CVS.

9. Makeup bag with powder, lip balm, sunscreen, lipstick or lipgloss, mascara, concealer, lotion, makeup remover wipes, and a tinted moisturizer. I don't wear makeup at the plane or when i'm traveling but i would recommend bringing some makeup products to touch up or wear makeup when you get off the plane or going somewhere fancy after. 

10, Journal or planner to put something down or ideas or record memories. 
 Well, that's it for all the essentials you need to pack for the perfect carry-on bag. I wish you the best of luck if you're traveling somewhere during the summer because i know i will. Until next time See ya!!
