Some (Vegan-Friendly) Probiotic and Immune-Supporting Vitamins: $7

Real talk: Traveling can make you bloated, and it can even lead to you getting sick. Between any new foods you're eating and the general change to your regular routine, your body can take a toll in the process. Thankfully, the key to not letting all that get to you is preparing, and having some probiotics that also provide immune system-boosting ingredients is a total win-win for travel.

No time to wash your hair with all the travel chaos? No problem. This dry shampoo from beloved vegan hair care brand Better Natured is one of the best we've ever tried, and it's especially great for traveling since it's actually a powder, rather than a spray. Not only does that make it more compact, but it also means it's less likely to get confiscated when you're going through security or customs. This stuff will keep your strands looking and feeling fresh, even when you're on the go.
