Inside My Weekend Vacation Bag

22 July 2025

There’s something so special about a spontaneous weekend escape — even just a couple of days away can be a complete reset for the body and mind. 

Whether it’s a cozy countryside stay or a beachy coastal getaway, I always pack with intention. The less things I need to take, the better!

Here’s a peek inside my weekend bag and the essentials I never travel without.

Big water bottle: This comes everywhere with me. I make an effort to drink 2 liters (or more), especially when on-the-go or exploring in warmer weather.

Electrolytes: I pop a sachet into my water every single morning to stay hydrated and support mineral balance. A simple but powerful habit that keeps you feeling energized!

JSHealth Vitamins Probiotic: My probiotic is always in my bag. I pack all my supplements into a pill organizer and it makes it truly so easy to stay consistent with my vitamin routine.

Silk sleep mask: I love this little moment of luxury. Deep rest is always a priority for me on a  weekend away — plus it helps me relax and wind-down when I’m in transit.

Lip balm & natural sunscreen: I love to keep my skin bare when on vacay, but will always pop on a good quality SPF and a hydrating lip balm. Of course the base of my skin routine is the 4-Step Vitamin Skincare System (I pack the mini set).

Sunglasses & hat: I wear my hat and sunglasses everywhere. I am obsessed with this packable hat from Avenue the label which you can fit in any bag. So chic. 

A great book: I always take a fave book away with me and will flick through the pages to soak up wisdom. Ones I keep coming back to are The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer and You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay.

JSHealth Protein + Probiotic Bars: Always in my bag! The perfect travel snack that ticks all the boxes for me as a nutritionist. I formulated these bars to have up to 10g protein, plenty of fiber and be low sugar, plus with the added benefit of gut-loving probiotics. My personal pick is the Cinnamon Scroll flavor.
