Being a curvy girl and traveling often and far distances, I have discovered a few of my most favorite must-have items that are affordable! And, some of these items I find uniquely helpful for being a curvy, plus-sized woman. These items will keep you feeling fresh, entertained, connect & prepared.

Buy all of these items for only $67! These items are worth more than their price and can be used for much longer than just a single trip.

Item #1: Bring that book you have always been wanting to read! For flights, I tend to grab inspirational and empowering books that get me excited about my future. This month's pick? "You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life" by Jen Sincero. I'll be focusing in on this gem of a book during my 5 hour flight to Hawaii. Target has a great selection of current book titles. Buy online for a discounted price at Target.com

Item #2: Reduce your worries about picking up some unnecessary germs by wiping down your seat, tray table and air/light buttons using these deliciously but subtly fragrant WetOnes wipes! The "citrus scent" has a subtle coconut and mixed citrus note that is sweet and refreshing. Your seat mates won't be annoyed, trust me. In fact, they will probably ask for a wipe, too. You can pick these up at most grocery stores. I usually pick up a few packets in near the checkout or in the travel size section. I always have one in my car, my bag, my office and extras on hand to restock. Target.com

Item #3: Ever feel a little sweaty and can't tell if you have an odor? And, you have another flight to catch and are worried your seat mate might notice? Traveling, especially as a curvier person, can be a bit challenging, especially if you are taking multiple flights or moving as fast as you can to catch your flight. It can be warm and stuffy on some airplanes or airports, and it is likely you will perspire a little more than expected. So, to give yourself a chance to quickly refresh without having to dig out your stick deodorant
