EDITOR'S NOTE
I hate packing. As a “mood dresser” with three weeks of travel coming up, figuring out what to wear for three different climates has been unbearable. That said, I do love gathering the smaller essentials to make travel days and new environments feel more like home. Here are some currently sitting in my bag:
This Bluetooth-powered dongle so I can use my own headphones with the plane’s entertainment system.
Some soft, flexible earplugs for sleep.
A set of three brightly colored packing cubes to separate my clothes.

GOLIKEE Makeup Brush Cleaner
This collapsible cleaner bowl can do it all.
If you never get around to cleaning your makeup brushes but know you need to (👋), check out this $17 tool from Amazon. It’s a collapsible mini bucket that has a scrubber base with four different textures. Just add a couple pumps of cleanser and warm water and scrub. Then, flip the bowl over and use the base as a drying rack for your brushes. If you’re prone to breakouts, try this.
