Summer has officially clocked in—and that means road trips, travel days, and plenty of OOO moments are on the agenda. With the 4th of July right around the corner, I’m guessing a lot of you are prepping for a long weekend escape (honestly, same). I’m a big fan of a summer road trip, but let’s be real: the car can go from organized to chaos real quick. After plenty of “why did I bring this?” moments, I’ve finally figured out what’s actually worth packing and how to keep it all together. So I pulled together my must-have road trip essentials to help make your next adventure as smooth—and comfortable—as possible. Head over to this list on my Amazon storefront for even more of my car and road trip necessities!
