Are you heading someplace lovely this weekend? Perhaps you are going to the Hamptons for a BBQ or maybe camping up in the White Mountains. Wherever you choose to go for this summer’s last big hurrah, packing for the trip is a necessary evil. It doesn’t have to suck though! We’ve got a list of our favorite labor day weekend essentials so you can pack light and enjoy more!
1. Travel Size Beauty Products
Personally, I hate packing toiletries, especially for a whole family of 5! It can be one of the most confusing parts of traveling and i almost always end up forgetting something important like toothpaste.
One of the best ways to save space and remember (almost) everything is to make sure you have travel size beauty products or sample packs on hand!
AHAVA is giving away free DEAD SEA MASK SAMPLER PACKS just in time for Labor Day Weekend! You will get a sample pack of some of their best-selling products including the lifting mask and facial renewal peel. These portable individual packs allow you to freshen up while on your trip without the hassle of bringing your full size products with you.
To get the Dead Sea Mask Sampler Pack, add this item to your cart. (Shipping fees may apply)!
2. Deodorant
If you decide to go camping this weekend, you never know when you will have access to a shower. This is when deodorant is vital to life as we know it!
This is when you need Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant Deodorant ($4.99)! It provides the 48-hour odor and wetness protection you need, plus the added skin softening benefits of NutriumMoisture™.
Dove Advanced Care Deodorant comes in 15 different fragrances including Sensitive, Revive, Shea Butter, Coconut, Camomile, Pink Rosa, Pure Powder and more!

3. Plumping Mask
Miss Spa’s Bee Venom Plumping Mask ($7.99) is exactly what your face needs before your next family reunion. Treat your skin to this ultimate firming mask that enhances your skin’s texture and elasticity which will make it look smoother and softer than you ever thought possible. Let bee venom and royal jelly protein do the work and leave artificial plumpers and needles by the wayside.
The Bee Venom Plumping Mask is affordable and easy to use. You get one single-use mask per pack and it is recommended that you use the product once a week. Simply unfold the mask, remove the blue paper backing and white plastic cover, apply mask on clean, dry face and leave on for 20 minutes.
