I squealed out loud when I came across this next, itty bitty travel-friendly find. What at first appears to be a tiny tube of lipstick actually expands into a full size, reusable tote bag. Available at FredFlare.com, the Pucker Up Pouch is less than 2 inches wide, easily clips onto your keychain and is completely adorable ($10, fredflare.com).

Read and revive

Last but not least, there's no better time to step back, reflect and give yourself a little TLC than when you’re on vacation. One of my personal favorite ways to recharge is with the book "5: Where Will You Be Five Years From Today?" The interactive book prompts you to answer a series of thought-provoking questions and can serve as a roadmap leading to a happier, more fulfilled few years. ($8.43, barnesandnoble.com).
