Travel Essentials

I'm going on my last trip for probably a while since I'm having twins and all.  I'm kind of excited and sad at the same time.  I'm always on the go so this will be crazy to stay put.  Here are a few of my essentials for traveling.
A perfect trip is centered around having these necessities...what am I missing?  What do you travel with?

1-2: Fun reads!  City of Style profiles fab fashionistas in Cali and breaks down all the places you'll want to shop in the city!:)   Domino mag is back and I'm LOVING it!  It's a little pricey, but they only come out quarterly right now it looks like.  The next issue comes out in September.  Get ready to be inspired! 
3.  This is my new favorite snack!  They taste good and they are healthy.  If you forget to stock up, I think that Starbucks carries them:)
4.  The Navajo blanket scarf is perfect for travel to wrap yourself on a drive or a cool flight.  Plus, this scarf was featured on the Gossip Girl this week and is on sale for ONLY $49!!!!


5.   Eww, taking off shoes to go through security, yuck!  These little socks are too cute and you can rock them on the plane if you want to kick off your shoes:)
6.  I've shared this L.L. Bean Signature bag before as a diaper bag...but, it's perfect for traveling!  I'll have my iPad, books, and other essentials carried in here and carry a smaller cross body bag for the i.d. and lipgloss:)
7.  I just LOVE the Stephanie Johnson travel bags!  They are perfect and look tres chic!  This one is a perfect size and has compartments for keeping everything organized. 
8-11.  When you get on that plane you are just going to dry out, so to keep refreshed I come armed with all of these products.  Plus, drink plenty of water.  That way you don't come off the plane feeling disgusting:) 

Just because it's always good for a refresher, here are the regulations from TSA...

New Obsession: Josie Maran meets Argan Oil

I'm officially obsessed!  I had heard about the Josie Maran line since it came out...but, never tried for some reason.  Recently I heard how the Josie Maran sunscreen is the BEST au' natural option out there because it doesn't leave you looking pasty and white:)  I was like let me try this.
Went into SEPHORA to buy and it was SOLD OUT!  I was like if it's sold out this stuff is good!  The sales lady (not sure if that is the PC term at this time...sorry) told me that they had a sample version that came with a cleanser for only $20.  I was a little put off at first since I just wanted the SPF...but, now I am so glad this happened!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cleanser and can't wait to try the entire line.  I will be buying the full product too as well.
The first product I used that made me fall in love:)  $20

I started using Argan Oil as a moisturizer a while ago.  Just using the oil from Whole Foods.  But, I'm hooked that that is the key ingredient in all of the Josie Maran products.  As soon as I am done with the Argan Oil I'm using I'm definitely buying her brand and seeing what the difference might be, besides the size:)

Here are a few of the products I'm planning on trying and a video about the company and why Josie Maran started it all.  I found it interesting and wanted to share because it made me love the brand even more:)

I won this lip gloss in a giveaway I signed up for online...really excited to try!  $20
I LOVE anything that makes you glow and this is supposed to do just that.  Can't wait to try this!  $28
This is the limited edition bottle of Argan Oil for $48...the regular is only $14, but I like the pretty bottle, sue me:) 


So, what's so great about Argan Oil?  Here is what they share on the SEPHORA site for Josie Maran:
What it is:A limited-edition 100% Pure Argan Oil. What it does:100% Pure Argan Oil is a legendary oil that's rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, and grown organically in Morocco. With its multitasking benefits, this oil can be used for many areas including hydrating and nourishing skin, as a daily moisturizer, skin treatment, treating split ends, and softening cuticles.
