Traveling is stressful, especially during the holidays. I'm always looking for ways to make it more seamless—and more importantly, to compensate for the fact that I am not a light packer. (Traveling with a multi-step haircare, skincare, makeup, and bodycare routine is no easy feat!) But I don't want to pay overweight baggage fees, so I started looking for a better solution than buying travel-size bottles of everything or just hoping TSA doesn't confiscate my precious 4.7-ounce bottle of Rhode Glazing Milk. Thankfully, Cadence answered my call with a range of sustainable, travel-friendly containers. Just search "pack with me" on TikTok, and you'll see tons of these octagon-shaped capsules in every hue from baby blue to blush pink to mocha brown. They're refillable, leakproof, and aesthetically pleasing, so it's no wonder they went viral.
"We have places we go and products that make us feel most ourselves—and we're working to fill the gap that exists between the two," says Steph Hon, founder and CEO of Cadence. "By giving people the ability to bring the products they use every day at home with them, even if it's for one day, it makes such a big difference to your well-being, both physically and mentally." I couldn't agree more. Whether you want to stay fresh on a flight or need a last-minute touch-up before a date, Cadence has solutions. Hon says it best: "I have so much peace of mind going through TSA knowing I have all 15 products that fit in my clear bag and that when I arrive, they're all in one piece."
This begs the question: What are Hon's in-flight essentials? "I never leave the house without a capsule of lip balm and Umcka supplements," she says. "And I always need a Hydro Flask so I can stay hydrated. I prefer to drink warm water and being able to have it with me at all times helps keep me healthy even during the busiest times." If you're a frequent jet-setter or just want to streamline your packing process, you're going to want to check out the rest of Hon's travel essentials below.
"Cadence is very much part of my everyday routine. This is also one of the biggest points of feedback from our community—I bought [it] for a trip, but I use it every day—which brings me a lot of joy. We didn't build these to go in your dusty closet that you interact with twice a year. It's for you always." — Hon
