- Hi, guys, it's Alexis.
I'm going to be showing you
my Hot Girl Travel Tips with Cosmo.
One of the things that I have started doing
is doing hair masks before so I'll put any type of oil.
I mean, it's really whatever you like.
I'll definitely stretch.
I'll get ready for it
and then I think water is a top priority
because the air pressure definitely dehydrates you
and it also stops your digestive system.
All right, guys, let's go through my bag.
No, I'm just kidding, it's not that heavy.
So this is my favorite travel bag I've ever had.
One, it's big enough to fit my computer.
It's from a brand called Peta + Jain.
It looks beautiful with everything.
It's been dragged and thrown and tossed
and it's still looks all pretty and stuff
so I definitely recommend it.
This is my favorite travel kit in the whole world.
I come back from traveling and my skin looks better.
It's called the Beauty Box
and it basically just has everything you need
by Sonya Dakar.
So moisturizer, face wash.
This is the Flash Facial.
This is Retinu.
I call it my silk moisturizer
'cause it makes my skin feel like silk.
Mask if we wanna do that.
Eye cream and then the Omega Oil.
So if my luggage gets lost, I'm fine.
I could actually go a week without having my luggage
and I can be totally fine and still not be freaked out
that my skin's gonna get effed up, effed up.
So.
Cool.
Oh, if I am showcasing something before I take off,
I like to do like an exfoliation treatment
so whether that's this product
called the Flash Facial that I use.
It's this goo and you put it on your face
and it dries up and it takes the dirt with it.
Super satisfying.
And then I'll put moisturizer on and then eye gel
and then I'll take a photo
to showcase the freshness that I have
but I think it's really important to,
I'm just gonna keep saying this over and over again,
you have to be extra, extra hygienic
in order to make up for the place that you're at.
I look for entertainment.
I mean, who doesn't?
So I'll definitely clean myself, make sure I'm ready
for whether I'm sleeping or I'm just chilling on the plane.
I think it's a time
to really actually take care of yourself.
Self-care is really important to me
especially on travel days
because it's just such a dirty environment.
You have to spend extra time to stay clean
and then I'll go and quote unquote get ready for bed,
put my hair up, the eye mask on
and just get ready for relaxation.
I have my gua sha.
We have pressure points in our face
the same we that we do in our hands and in our feet
so it's just really beneficial
especially with the air pressure and the dehydration
and you kind of just like stop digesting
when you're up that high 'cause I don't think it's natural
for humans to be that high in the air.
Sunscreen always.
And this is for after you get off the plane.
Obviously toothpaste.
These are my three toners
and then I use them sometimes as a face wash.
So I'll just spray, spray, spray, spray, spray
and then I'll take some reusable pads
and wash my face with it.
Nowadays, you always gotta have one.
You never know, you just never know.
Dry shampoo, Laneige lip mask of course, of course.
My spot treatment in case you get stains.
There's that.
I've put together like a little travel kit
and I wash my face, I put on moisturizer.
I can't stress this enough
I try not to use any of the water on the plane.
Those tiny little differences make the biggest change
in how your body reacts to traveling.
The whole point for me is to be able to use that time
to give myself almost like a spa experience
so by the time I get off of the plane, I feel rejuvenated
as opposed to taking a step back from my self-care game.
I try to make sure that the beauty products that I bring
are very easy to wash off.
So, ooh, I'm excited to talk about this.
I have these two products that I use instead of mascara
and it's been life-changing
and I genuinely recommend this for everyone watching this.
So it's the YUMI, it's like a, it's a serum
and then the keratin mascara.
Bronzer.
Concealer.
Always bring your own mirror 'cause you just don't know.
Benetint I think is wonderful.
It gives you lasting color.
I always bring my journal.
I don't always write in it
but it just feels good to have in case,
and my emotions pop up and I'm like,
ooh, is there a poem in here?
No, I'm just kidding.
So this is like my brain hub.
A book.
No, I'm such an Audible girl
so every time that I've traveled with a book,
I'm just like, I have to carry this around.
There's been times when I'm like, do you want this book?
I'll just buy it on Audible
so I've finally surrendered to a Kindle.
Okay, these are the eye, eye masks.
Always, always, always have these, they're great.
I forgot which one but one of these has arnica in them
and it's fantastic for like dark circles
especially if you're sleep deprived.
My film camera.
So I always keep my most valuable jewelry in my carry-on.
I've had to learn that the hard way unfortunately
so hopefully you won't have to learn that the hard way.
So this is my little jewelry box and my mom's wedding ring.
Everything that is irreplaceable to me, I put in here.
Don't mind how dirty that mirror is.
So always carry your most valuable jewelry
in your carry-on always.
Which travel emergency?
One time, just traveling like 27 hours or something
like oh, you're just like woozy.
You're like, I don't even know what's going on
and then I lost my luggage for three or four days
and then they finally found it
and everything in my luggage exploded
which was super unfortunate because it's my stuff.
I have this coffee that I bring everywhere with me.
It opened and so as I was pulling my luggage,
it was like a trail of brown dirt just following me
and so everyone was like, "what does she have?"
I was like, that's coffee but,
so that was an awkward situation.
That's just one.
Some of them are just so embarrassing.
Some of them I actually cannot tell you.
I will not tell you.
Sunglasses.
If I don't want to talk to anyone,
I have the baseball cap and the sunglasses.
That's when you know don't talk to me.
This is the don't talk to me starter pack, this.
My earphones, headphones.
Oh yeah, always, always, always
have a universal charger with you.
I've been the savior of many of my friends
and it's nice to be that person.
There's a certain oil that I use morning and night.
It's called the Omega Oil and I use that everywhere.
I guess the the correct term is slugging.
I heard that recently online
but I use that that up like crazy
and it has a lot of healing properties
so I would say that oil is like my best friend when I travel
because you wanna hydrate not just like from the inside out
but also the outside in.
And then all of these things I've learned the hard way.
I have a bag that's just medication
whether it's like Advil
or ZzzQuil in case I'm like super jet lagged,
feminine stuff, anything that I might need.
So I make sure that my eye mask is silk.
So sometimes I'll put the eye gel masks under this eye mask
and it helps me be super rejuvenated.
These Aurora vitamin C packets are wonderful.
So this helps me maintain and keep my immune system going
and the combination of this with Liquid IV,
it's like my secret weapon to keeping my immune system up.
As far as snacks, I love SmartSweets.
They're amazing vegan treats.
I bring my own tea.
Most airlines don't have decaffeinated tea
and so I bring my friend's brand actually, Sama Tea
just in case I need a little.
little something to go to sleep or pick me up.
Always, always, always have a pen with you
especially when you're going international.
Once again, I've learned that the hard way.
I'm that person with the custom form being like,
excuse me, like across the way, can I please use your pen?
So don't wanna be that person.
You'd rather be the one handing them out.
Tada, your AirTag.
Don't ever, ever travel without AirTags.
I have learned this too many times.
This is super important.
This has helped me so much.
The fact that I could look on my phone
and watch my luggage coming down the terminal
and I'm on the plane and I'm like, please, please
and I'm like watching it.
It's fun for people who wanna keep track of it like that so.
I think, I think that's it.
That's it.
By the time I was 20, I filled up a passport.
I definitely have a lot of experience with this
and this is kind of everything I've learned.
If you can fit an extra pair of clothes in your carry-on,
do that as well 'cause I've spent like three or four days
with just my carry-on stuff and I killed it.
I was like, no, guys, I got it.
I'm chilling.
It's all good.
Once again, I can revert back to traveling right now
is not in a very good place.
So many of the times when I lose my luggage
or something happens, I go to the service center
and it's like it's not their fault.
They didn't do anything wrong.
They're just trying to do their job and yet at the same time
I have watched hundreds of people yell at these employees
and it sucks for everyone involved
and so that's why I always make sure
to have everything I need
so that if something like that happens,
I don't let my emotions take me away
and I let it out on someone who did nothing wrong.
So that's what I learned this summer.
Okay, guys, that's it.
Thank you so much for checking out my bag.
I hope I brought some sort of value to you.
This is truly everything I've learned.
Safe travels.
