In this video, we’re sharing our travel essentials for 2026—aka the little upgrades that make flying, cruising, and road trips way more organized and way less stressful. We’ve learned (the hard way) that what we thought we “needed” years ago has totally morphed, and now we focus on comfort, smart organization, and not having those annoying travel moments—like realizing you forgot a charger or getting hit with an overweight bag fee at the airport. We partnered again with BAGSMART and walked through the Getaway 30" trunk (it’s a big, chunken suitcase—perfect if you overpack like we do or if you’re traveling as a family). My favorite features are the smooth 360° wheels, sturdy zippers, TSA lock, and that built-in luggage scale handle that helps you avoid the “over 50 pounds” surprise. We also show the organizers we’re genuinely excited about: a compact toiletry kit (Pepper-approved), a jewelry organizer that keeps necklaces from tangling, and an electronics organizer that finally gives all our cords, earbuds, power bank, and Kindle accessories a dedicated home. Then we get into comfort must-haves for economy flights—our tried-and-true seat cushion and the foot hammock that makes long-haul flights so much easier on your legs. We also share our slimmer handheld fan and my new streamlined makeup bag that keeps brushes protected and everything easy to grab and go.
