Vegky
In my console, I store some of my favorite snacks: mushroom jerky. I’ve been noshing on Vegky (vegan jerky), a shiitake-based jerky made from the stems. No icky ingredients I can’t read but instead, a vegan snack that supports my heart health, bones, and most fabulously — my skin! Cravings for salty foods are strong while in transit and Vegky offers a tasty selection to keep me from binging on chips. Flavors range from original (a classic umami/sweet/salty profile), spicy (perfect kick that keeps me going back for more), BBQ (smoky and sweet without any animals harmed), wasabi and curry. My favorite has to be the OG but BBQ comes in a close second! Having this in my personal bag is a great option for feeling healthy while stuck in traffic.
MyBevi
I love having a little drink to sip on, whether it’s water, a fruit smoothie, or a chai latte — I want to have all the options — and have them all I can with MyBevi’s 32-oz Outlander. This massive tumbler is a dream for all my #WaterTok girlies who love to collect cups. I got mine in a baby lavender color which has been bringing a smile to my face every time I bring it into my car and sip at every red light. This tumbler comes with a handy straw, and comfortable handle, and keeps my drink temperature at the perfect level. If I’m not feeling the straw there is an option to drink through the lid. I fill my Outlander at the cafe with tea or coffee for morning drives, rinse it out when I’m finished, and fill up on water for the rest of the day. One day I had ice in my Outlander and it was able to keep it frozen for two days, thanks to copper coating on the outside of the inner steel wall which adds a 3rd layer of insulation! MyBevi is my favorite passenger.
Alleyoop
Once my body is hydrated I need a little something for my lips: Alleyoop’s Lip Goals in Dare to Bare. This rosy brown gives a juicy look without any of the gooey or sticky texture other glosses give. It’s actually a glossy lip balm filled with lip-loving ceramides, peppermint oil, and shea butter. I keep this in my cup holder and do a speedy makeup routine that screams “my natural beauty but better.” Alleyoop won my heart with this gloss formula and applicator: it’s squishy and seamlessly glides over my lips for a pretty-girl-pout.
Fur
Who doesn’t run late sometimes (okay — maybe most mornings) and that’s perfectly human. What else is human? Forgetting deodorant. So I keep an extra in my car from Fur. Their Ingrown Deodorant has been my saving grace for my mental health and underarms. This deodorant is special: tested by gynecologists, cruelty-free, and sweat-neutralizing. That isn’t the best part though: it aids in reducing ingrowns, thanks to superstar ingredients. Willow bark extract, radish root ferment, and niacinamide all work to keep my pits healthy, happy, and sweat-free. So no matter the state of my armpits, I know I’m giving some TLC with every swipe. The formula is smooth and comforting with a fresh green scent that lingers into the PM when I’m driving back home after a day of meet-ups, meetings, and workouts. Another win from Fur!
