I am a shopper, and I love trying new products. In fact, it is kind of in my job description. As a blogger, yes, many products are sent to us in hopes of a mention on my site or my social media channels. Often I will give them a try, and I am disappointed.

Besides all the goodies I get in the mail to review, I also buy items with my own money. I, too, get swayed by influencers and their favorite finds. (Haha)

I thought we would start a new annual tradition where Renee and I showcase our top 10 favorite finds of the year—kicking it off in 2021!

Our favorite finds that made traveling easier in 2021

So please sit back, grab your favorite drink of choice, and we’ll share with you our top ten products that we discovered that rocked our world in 2021.

Photo of blue car sick bags a favorite find of Andie's
Weird add, I know, but it has saved my bacon on more than one occasion in 2021

Car Sick Bags: I love a good road trip, but a couple of my kiddos tend to get car sick, and these bags are fantastic to have ready and waiting in the jockey box, just in case. They have saved the day on more than one occasion. *Andie Pick

Photo of Teleties hair ties a favorite find of Andie's
The best stay put hair ties ever.

Teleties: When I was sent Teleties to try, I had minimal expectations, if any. I have been constantly disappointed by all the hair ties I have tried. Teleties are awesome. They hold my hair back and keep it in place, even giving me a nice perky ponytail when I want one. And no weird lines when I take them out. They are legit!! My girls also love them and are constantly stealing them. USE Code Partner10 for an additional 10% off your order. *Andie Pick

Photo of Fuel Rods an easy battery exchange program for keeping your cell phone charged while traveling. A favorite find of Renee's
Game Changer!!

Fuel Rods: We discovered these are on our most recent trip to Disney, and they are a lifesaver! You buy one cell phone charging kit once, around $30, and then you can exchange your battery anywhere where there is an exchange station. They are growing, and more and more places are offering exchange stations. Instant phone charging! And when it’s dead, just exchange your fuel rod for a new one. Each kit comes with several adapters that will work with any phone type. *Renee Pick

Best Razor I have ever used.

Billie Razors: Having smooth, well-shaven legs is part of traveling, and these are the best razors I have tried! They give me a smooth shave every time, and now I never have to remember to buy more cartridges because they are automatically shipped to me, as I direct! *Andie Pick

This keeps me organized while traveling and at home.

Travel Makeup Case: This keeps all my stuff neat and orderly in my drawer at home, as well as when I travel! I use it for both, so I never really need to pack up my essentials because they are already in their case. *Andie Pick

The perfect size travel water bottle

Swell Water Bottle: With a sleek minimalist style, it is the perfect size to throw in my travel bag when traveling; and since it is insulated, it helps my water stay cool and not get hot, which is the worst! *Renee Pick

photo of ear plugs, a necessity and favorite find of Renee's.
Light sleepers need these in their lives.

Ear Plugs: These are a must when traveling as a light sleeper. I have even started using them at home, and they help a lot! *Renee Pick

Photo of pink weekender bag, it holds a large amount of stuff!
I lovingly refer to this as my Mary Poppins Bag!

Weekender Bag: I am constantly amazed by how much I can fit into this thing. I lovingly call it my Mary Poppins bag. It is the perfect bag for a weekend getaway when I don’t need to haul out my big suitcase. *Andie Pick

Photo of Elta MD Sunscreen. The perfect item to always have with you when traveling.
Every gal needs a good sunblock!

Sunscreen: Some dermatologists I follow on TikTok recommended this one as a good everyday sunscreen. It has been an excellent addition to my daily skincare regimen. Ladies, wear sunscreen; it is your best friend against aging. PSA over. 😜 *Renee Pick

Photo of supplement/pill organizer for those who need a bigger one than the "standard size"
The best pill organizer I have found.

Oversized Supplement Holder: I love supplements, and finding pill organizers that hold my daily mix has been challenging. This is the perfect size for traveling with all my favorite supplements that keep me healthy while traveling. This also organizes all kinds of smaller objects when traveling; snacks, earrings, jewelry, lotions, and ointments. It is has been a great find! *Andie Pick

It has been so much fun to look back over our year and remember the purchases that made a difference in our lives and are now part of our everyday routines. Money well spent.

I hope you enjoy our favorite finds of 2021! We all can’t get enough good things in our lives! 😍
