Before the crowds shut you out-or turn you off from going...the March-April months of early Spring / Fall are ideal for travel.
For onboard comfort...a few key carry-on items can start the journey in transit, calmly.
Fingerless Gloves:
Pandemonium Millinery -a woman owned / Seattle made business-has a terrific collection of faux fur everything-including rather stylish and versatile finger -less gloves for when a tad of warmth is needed (including those drafty plane rides). BONUS: smartphone swiping friendly...gush-worthy matching scarves.
Skincare:
Travel sizes are essential-fortunately our fav YON KA PARIS bestsellers-including the healing Toning spray mist- come in TSA worthy sizes. Double as soothers/moisturizer with essential oils- just one spritz aromatically manages to relax nerves still recovering from that check-in process.
Immunocologie -a breakthrough immune boosting skincare collection- has multi-tasking selections for all skin types. The travel size, daily use Hyaluronic Serum sinks in quickly-and is gel like in feel-so it hydrates without the ick grease feeling. Can use all over the face...including the delicate/sensitive eye area- streamlining what's needed to haul onboard,
Good Luck Charms:
Personal adornment that's not ostentatious but has meaning-can provide comfort in unexpected ways -like guardian angels. Aptly monikered The Goddaughters "wearable art for the soul..." has affordable groups of Dharma, Color Therapy. Touched, Warrior, Gratitude and Angel Eyes jewelry and comfy casual wear offerings.
NOTE-non-believers (skeptics?) and no luggage ever travelers...can appreciate the sparkling Zodiac Ring ($190) - the one piece of bling that can dress up any kind of wardrobe.
