What’s In My Carry-On and My Prime Day Picks Worth Packing
From my most used suitcase to luxe beauty minis and sleek home tech — these are the travel essentials I swear by (and they're all on sale till tomorrow).
If you’ve ever seen me breeze through an airport with an iced coffee in one hand and an unbothered expression in the other, just know it’s not by accident, it’s the result of years of refining the perfect travel kit. I don’t overpack, but I do prepare. And now I’m sharing exactly what’s in my carry-on.
And the best bit? Amazon Prime Day is delivering serious deals on some of my most-used travel pieces, the kind I don’t normally see discounted. From beauty tech to actual tech, the suitcase I take everywhere to the electrolytes I live on… this is the travel edit that works just as hard as I do.
These deals end tomorrow, and I promise, this is your sign to click before they vanish.
The Carry-On That Travels With Me Everywhere
I’ve packed everything I needed for Sicily into my Antler Carry On, it’s that good. But if you’re in the mood for a luxury luggage upgrade, this is the moment. I’ve put together a few more great carry on options here.
What I Always Pack
My travel essentials are compact, luxurious, and multi-use. Here’s what made it into my suitcase this month, and what I can’t travel without:
R+Co Hair Mask: This is not on a Prime deal, but I had to mention as I never travel without.
Vidrate Electrolytes: Lemon Ginger is my go-to for hydration — I take a sachet on every flight.
Canon G7X Mark III: I shoot all my content on this. Compact, crisp, and perfect for travel vlogging or Instagram on the go.
Current Body LED Mask: because my skin without it does not glow from within (it also packs so flat).
The Tech That Earns Its Space
Such must items for travel, and if you’ve been meaning to upgrade or have been thinking about picking one up, now is the time with these (not very frequent) discounts:
Power Bank: Elegant enough to match your handbag, powerful enough to charge your phone on the go, without the need of a charing cable.
Apple AirPods – Of course. Always. I use mine daily, in the airport, taxi, lounging by the pool. If you’ve been putting off buying a new pair? Prime Day is your excuse.
Kids Kindle – An item on my list for Prime Day, as it has a dyslexia font and will really help with my son’s learning and development. The Prime Day bundle comes with a case and is brilliant value. Both kids had Amazon Fire for when they were younger, these are super light weight, so great for a travel screen for them and not too expensive either.
Oura Ring – I am incredibly excited about this deal, I have read so much about Oura and will be purchasing one myself. It tracks sleep, recovery, activity, stress and can apparently predict when you are about to get sick.
Home Tech I Travel With — Or Miss When I Don’t
Some tech is made for home. Some makes you feel at home, wherever you are:
Blink Cameras/Doorbell: This is such a great system for the home, it looks very easy to setup and you can access from your phone whenever you are.
Dyson Airwrap – One of the only hair tools that I constantly hear how incredible it is. It’s on Prime Day lightning deals again… don’t think, just add to basket.
Just a Few More
There’s more beauty, tech, and travel bits I’ve added to my full Prime Day ShopMy collection, but a few final favourites to highlight:
Apple AirTags – I have one in my sunglasses case, suitcase, the car and in my handbag. Peace of mind in a keyring.
Slip Silk Eye Mask + Pillowcase – The kind of luxury you don’t think you need… until you try it. I don’t use one yet, but I know I should. They also have a travel pillow that I have my eye on.
FOREO Luna Mini 3: This mini facial in a palm-sized device will totally upgrade your skincare routine.

So that’s what’s in my carry-on, as well as items I have my eye on, and what I’m shopping before Prime Day ends. Think of this as your permission slip to click *add to cart* on the pieces that make travel smoother, more stylish, and far less chaotic. These deals end tomorrow and honestly, they never last long.
Next up? My Monaco, Ibiza and Comporta Travel Diaries (yes, restaurants, yes, outfit links). But for now, hydrate, pack light, and don’t sleep on these deals.
With love and SPF,
