Getty ImagesAs if traveling wasn't already stressful enough, doing so during the holidays adds another layer of anxiety.
Between making sure the gifts you've packed don't result in an overweight bag and hoping that you didn't forget any essential items, you have your hands (and your carry on) full. That means you could probably use all the help you can get when it comes to packing.
Luckily, you're talking to the right girl, because I'm something of a packing expert, and I rounded up the travel essentials you need on your packing list that will make your life easier, both while you fly and once you arrive at your destination.
Packing cubes will help keep your clothes organized while a travel jewelry box is a game changer for preventing dainty necklaces, rings, and bracelets from getting tangled. You'll want to have some beauty essentials on hand for a long flight. Pimple patches will stop airplane acne in its tracks, a luxe lotion will keep your hands from drying out, and an LED hand held mirror ensures you have perfect makeup lighting where ever you go.
Get holiday travel ready with these must-have essentials you'll regret not packing.
