Maely’s Too-Pouty is a game-changer for chapped lips, which are common when you travel. (As always, hydration is key!) Apply this lip mask twice a day — once when you wake up, and once before you fall asleep — to moisturize and soothe your lips. Add it on during the day for a slight plump if you’re feeling frisky.

Do you like fruity candies, but not the havoc they can wreak on your teeth, gums, and intestines? Candy is often one of the first things to go when adjusting your diet as you age. But what if there was a candy that had just four grams of sugar per bag?

Blobs are a fruity, flavorful, vegan, no-sugar-added gummy candy with just seven grams of carbs and 50 calories per bag. They come in the delightful flavor varieties of orange-peach, pomegranate-apple, and passionfruit-pineapple. They’re great travel companions if you’re looking for airplane or train snacks.

Unrelated but related: I’m such a big fan of the taste of these guys that I put Blobs stickers on my laptop and mini fridge.

Since 1859, Eight O’Clock Coffee has been roasting beans and brewing up tasty trouble. They are currently the third largest seller of whole bean coffee in the United States, but are known for the bold flavors of every variety of coffee they sell. While the current name wasn’t created until 1919, this Landover, Maryland-produced coffee is absolutely a household name.

On the road, I’d suggest a bag or two of ground bean coffee. The Dark Italian Espresso roast can easily be flavored or enjoyed in a concentrated shot. It has a standout flavor and aroma that will get a musician out of bed quickly for an early bus call.

Eight O’Clock Coffee also makes K-Cup pods of their roasts. If your musician will have access to a Keurig on the trip, this could make things wildly easy for them.

If you don’t want to carry around a full coffee setup or rely on a K-cup on your bus or in the hotel, you may want to consider a steeped coffee option. These are a preferred option to concentrate or cold brew coffee, since refrigerated options have a shelf life. The single-serve bags are perfect to purchase because leftovers can be saved for camping trips, to take to the office, or cozy mornings at home curled up under a blanket.

As simple as tucking a teabag into your luggage, Steeped Coffee makes single-serve steeping bags of their delicious roasted coffee. They grind the coffee up and nitro seal it, serving it in an easy-to-tote bag that is so mindful of time and convenience. Just pour hot water over it, add whatever creamer you may need, and voila!

Steeped Coffee’s focus on environmental safety has, from the start, set them apart. Their fully compostable bags deliver ethically sourced, bold flavors every time.
