5 + 1 things to pack on your next trip

I am obsessed with my FitBit Charge (in blue, of course) as I am currently on a health kick (ha!). I love how it counts the steps you take every day (my goal is 10,000 a day) and how it tracks your sleep (I finally have proof when I do not sleep well, which is quite often). I am not sure about the calorie burning counter (it seems too generous, to be honest), but I also found it useful as a watch over the past month or so (my real watch has been sent in for an annual clean and service and we were apart for a long time). It syncs with a phone app via Bluetooth and works a treat. Available from Amazon from £84.99.

You use your phone, you need extra juice. Sadly, I need a lot of it and have found a lifesaver in my Mophie. I have recently upgraded to the Powerstation Plus 3X 5000 mAh model, which charges my iPhone 3 times, which is just about enough. There are plenty of other alternatives, but this is the one I use. Available from Amazon from £89.95.

Best thing I ever bought as it makes things so much easier. At your destination (or wherever you are), you only need 1 electric socket to charge up to 4 devices. It also comes with 4 international adaptors to make it even sweeter. Possibly the best £10 I have ever spent. Available from Amazon from £10.99.

Between Mr. O and I we must share a good 5-6 white iphone/ipad cables and everyday we would argue about them – who took my cable? Where is my cable? Well, now we have them in different colours and the arguments have ended. Mine are the blue and pink – they are available on various lenghts and for various devices. His are all the whites and the green. Available from Amazon from £13.95.

Flying will never be the same againWithout a doubt, one of the best purchases we have recently made. Technically they are Mr. O’s, so I keep stealing them, but I am caving in and getting myself another pair asap. They do enhance your inflight experience and I can actually sleep quite well with them on (which sounds a bit funny). Available from Amazon from £269.95.

I am addicted to the BA Club World 3M earplugs (they are the only ones that fit my ears), and sadly, I have to wear them every day (for reasons you could probably guess… my husband!). Obviously you only get a pair when you fly, and it got to a state that friends bring me their unused ones. So, I was delighted to find Auritech, who do a sleep and a travel version (different, I know) and I have found them incredibly comfortable – and I cannot hear a thing. I love that they come in a little case and you can wash them. Available from Auritech from £19.95What do you think of this list? Have you tried any of them? More importantly, what items can’t you travel without?xoMrs. O
