What’s in Christie Craig’s travel bag?
Between conferences, family visits, and weekend getaways,
summer usually means a lot of hopping on planes and going places. And there are several things that always fly
the skies with me.
·
T The under-the-seat bag: Don’t tell anyone, but I’m short. And getting a bag into the overhead bins can be real B with an itch for me. So, I love these under-the-seat bags that are easy to travel with and keep all my must-haves, like my computer (yes, I work on planes if I don’t have a nosy neighbor and am not working on a sexy scene) or a book, in reach.

· Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara: Weekend getaways normally don’t require a lot
of makeup. But I will almost always add
a touch of mascara. And for the longest
time I’ve been unhappy with my go-to mascara.
After trying about six different ones, I picked up this brand and know
I’d found my favorite.
·
Olay Total Effects 7 in One Face Cream: Growing up, we had a swimming pool, and I
spent my share of time in the sun. And while I’m not the type to worry too much
about a few lines on my face, I found I really like this anti-aging
moisturizer. And it has sun screen in it so it a big win-win for summer.
·
Chapstick: The best beauty tip I’ve even gotten was to
smile more. Nothing lights up a face more than a smile. But nothing will stop me smiling more than
dry and cracked lips. Keeping a chapstick in my purse helps keep my smiles
coming.
·
Hand Lotion: I was never a big lotion person until I heard
that one of the first places a woman shows her age is on her hands. Since then,
I’ve found I always keep some close by. And this one comes in a great purse
size.
·
The book going with me on my next trip: The
Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. I can’t wait to read this one. After telling another writer Friend, Colleen
Thompson, about my upcoming book, Don’t
Breathe a Word and its ties to domestic violence, she said I needed to read
this one. And since every book she’s ever recommended appealed to me, I’m
picking it up. I also found out that the book just sold movie rights.
