But temporarily flee your flat shoe box totally The adult crib is all lollipops and gumdrops until you come to the worst part of city hopping: packing.
Zip line above the jungle: fun! Stuffing a bunch of button-up shirts, underwear, and chargers into a duffel bag and hoping you remember everything you might need for eight days: less fun. We hate packing and often do it the night before (or in the morning, because we’re chaotic). And since we apparently have to bring miniature versions of all our toiletries in carry-on luggage forever, there can be some last-minute panic when your flight is a few hours away and you realize you don’t have failed to get travel bottles and how to have no way to store your sunscreen, skincare or shampoo without risking your bag being pulled off the treadmill. Fortunately, then many brands are making travel versions of their products now that you have no excuse to show up at your destination without a full arsenal of high-quality personal care products.

So, to give you a helping hand on travel day, here are some of the best travel essentials that won’t leave you in the lurch.

The Theragun Mini is portable and compact enough to travel, especially if you plan on working out. It will get the job done with its base three-speed settings. Just be sure to only store in your hand luggage, in accordance with TSA regulations.
