My Top 5 Vacation Must Haves

As I am writing this, we are getting ready to head out on our next vacation adventure. Every time we go, the packing list gets modified. Sometimes new electronics get added, sometimes it’s something that is specific to the destination, and sometimes it’s just something that I don’t want to live without, even for a week or two. This is exactly what happened when I found myself adding Norwex to my packing list. Here are my current additions, but maybe there will be more in the future. Never say never, right!?

Hair Wrap

What I like best about using the Hair Wrap is that it is secure (it won’t fall off) and it keeps my hair out of the way when I put on makeup. It also quickly absorbs 75% of the water from my hair, which means less drying time and exposure to the heat of the dryer. Whether you have long or short hair, this wrap is also the perfect solution for anyone who prefers to air dry their hair.

 

Mini EnviroCloth®

I use this for a lot of things. The EnviroCloth is the true all-purpose microfiber cloth. The densely woven, superfine microfiber physically removes up to 99% of bacteria from a surface using only water when following proper care and use instructions. It also features BacLock® antimicrobial agent which protects the cloth by winning the fight against odor-causing bacteria in the cloth, helping it to stay fresher longer. The mini version takes up no room in your carryon bag. Dampen the cloth with water and keep it in a small leakproof bag. It quickly and easily cleans plane tray tables and arm rests, spills and sticky messes from hands, devices, and clothing. The Mini EnviroCloth is available in the Mini Microfiber Variety Pack.

 

Illuminating Oil

It may be made for your face, but it is also great for the ends of your hair as well as your cuticles. I put a drop on my cuticles every night then massage. Any excess gets massaged right into my hands (no worries, my hands don’t stay greasy). And it’s great under your makeup! 🧡 It nourishes and hydrates your skin for a more radiant glow. With 15 skin-healthy oils plus Nordic super-foods like bilberry, red algae, black oat and Arctic cloudberry, your skin will drink it in!

 

Laundry Strips

Whether at home or on-the-go, these laundry strips leave nothing behind – on your clothes, in your machine, or in our water ways. It’s a cleaner, safer, better way to do laundry. They are easy to pack and can be used in the washer at your hotel or in the sink to rinse out small clothing items. I use them all the time.

 

Body & Face Cloths

OK, I know you do not NEED to bring face cloths with you on vacation, but these are not ordinary cloths. These gently cleanse your skin using only water – no soap required! These super-soft, microfiber wash cloths provide a thorough clean and help eliminate products with harmful chemicals that you may be applying to your skin. They will remove your makeup easily using water alone. As with the EnviroCloth, the Body & Face cloths feature BacLock®, which protects the cloth against odor-causing bacteria, helping it to stay fresher longer. I usually only bring one since I can easily clean it during the week using the laundry strips.

I try not to over pack, so what I take is usually very important to me. As you can see, none of my choices take up much room and they are all VERY useful. Well, at least to me… my husband couldn’t care less. 🤣

Norwex?? …Nor…What???

That was me several years ago. My neighbor hosted a demo at her home. I was traveling, so I couldn’t make it. Phew… dodged that bullet! I had never heard of Norwex and had no interest in learning about it.

Now fast forward to the summer of 2020…
