What's in a Flight Attendants' Bag you ask?
It’s a highly asked question and I’m here to spill the coffee, tea, or water.
A major disclaimer here:
We all carry your toiletries with us.. toothbrush, tooth paste, mouthwash, hand lotion.. ect; so unless its a favorite brand these items will not be featured
**ALSOOOOO I’d like this to be the beginning of an Ever Growing MASTER LIST for Flight Attendants and passengers alike.. on with itt
1.) Wellness Pills
On any given day I am surrounded by over 200 ppl on a 5-10 hr flight..all using the same air.. all sneezing into their hands without sanitizing them, coughing without covering their mouths, (yes I cant believe it either..) lots of germs and really it jus cant be helped.
These pills are great for an immunity booster, but I usually take them at the v fist sign of in balance. As directed you take 3, 3x a day yes 9, and I swear it kicks out anything in you. Maybe not right away but if you keep it up it'll work.. as precaution I’ll take 3 when I travel internationally or on a domestic flight longer that 8 hrs.
2.) Pareo / Sarong / Scarf
I use it most commonly to wrap over my nose and mouth when I sleep on the AC mainly bc the air dries me out and causes me to have a dry throat.. it also is a great barrier for unwanted germs when your catching some Zzz’s
Also it can be used as a shaw, a scarf, a light blanket.. you'll be surprised the many many options.. its light and not bulky. literally its perfect. Above I linked one of my favs, Aloha Collection.
3.) Essential Oils
Okay.. I have been asked about this countless times when its been in my insta stories.. I’m pretty new to this game but I must admit, I’m completely addicted to my pillow spray. I like to use EVERYONE BRAND. Plant based, sustainably-farmed ingredients, and totally organic, I have been consistently using this brand and I love it. I just mix it with distilled water and instantly where ever I am in the world I am taken to my room (at home) and a state of relaxation. Seriously, I spray the shit out of my pillows, sheets, and probably too much over my head, in my face, just about everywhere.. lol
SLEEP is literally the v definition of living GOLD in our world.. so yeah ANYTHING to help facilitate that
Which leads me to my next must have…
4.) Melatonin
I use the one from Trader Joes, some use dummies either way I find it works for me! However this is really not for everyone, most recently I have heard of others using CBD gummies or other sleeping aids.. like wine lol but for me melatonin puts me in that sleepy state of mind, which can be hard with different time zones.
5.) Laniege Overnight Water mask.
If you’ve read my other must haves blog posts you’ll know this stuff.. well it’s magic. Its my go to.. literally every. single. layover. This mask you can leave on then rinse off in the morning.. a light gel you put on after you clean your face and that is it. It hydrates your skin while you sleep overnight and wake up with hydrated skin, something I so desperately crave when I FLY. I love those paper masks but seriously I hardly have the energy sometimes to even do that.. I am aware its a 15-20 min thing but damn I just wanna curl up and sleep.
6.) The Aloha Collection.
Naturally this bag is on my list, originally founded by flight attendants, this water proof, smell proof, life proof bag is an absolute staple for me. I put my dirty laundry and stuff my smelly workout clothes into it,and when I’m done surfing or leave the beach, I change and I put my wet bikini into it.
If you do not own one of these ahhhhmazing bags, you MUST GET one. I have a few different sizes and even a fanny pack! This brand also has pareo’s that are cuTe too!
AGAIN, created by flight attendants, and even better with aloha.
