Are you planning a summer vacation? I found some must-haves to take on your journey. Safe travels and enjoy!

BlendJet One

Prepare smoothies, slushies and milkshakes anywhere with this one-pound portable blender. The one-touch system makes it easy and fun for anyone to use. It holds 12-ounces and operates on a USB-rechargeable battery. How cool is that!?!

Retail price: $39.99
Size: 9″ x 3″
Available: www.blendjet.com

Project Pop Organic Kettle Corn

This delicious popcorn offers the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I love its airy texture and freshness. The vegan treat contains organic ingredients such as virgin coconut oil and cane sugar for a delightful bite. The resealable bag locks in all its goodness when on the go.

Retail price: $8
Size: 2.2 oz.
Available: www.eatprojectpop.com

Dining Elevated UPLIFT

I’m in love with the crystal-clear acrylic, wood, and stainless-steel cutlery rests. They elevate utensils off the table, keeping them away from not-so-clean surfaces. They don’t take up too much room and they’re lightweight. They also add a nice accent to place settings. Throw one in your purse and take it aboard the train. It will come in handy. Available in singles or sets of 8.

Retail price: Starting at $5.95 (varies by size, weight and finish)
Size: 4 inch | 6 inch
Available: www.diningelevated.com

Vuka Zo-Cal Workout Berry Lemonade

This zero-calorie energy drink packs a pleasant flavor and a refreshing fizz. The burst of berries and tart lemons complement one another and add a subtle sweetness. The natural caffeine gives you the much-needed fuel to catch that early morning flight. Hence, the name Vuka meaning “wake up” in Zulu.

Retail price: $39.99 for case of 12
Size: 16 oz. can
Available: www.vuka.com, Amazon, major retailers, independent retailers

Pressels

If pretzels and bagels had a baby, they would call it Pressels. This thin, crunchy snack withstands double dipping and long summer drives. Each flavor tastes as described on its packaging. I like them all. Thumbs up!

Retail price: $3.99
Size: 7.1 oz.
Available: Walmart, Amazon
