If you follow me on social media, you likely know that I have been traveling like crazy the past few weeks. Once Cayson got his two month shots and permission to travel, we hit the ground running! We’ve taken more flights, train rides, boat rides and car rides than I could have ever imagined taking with a 3 month old. It has been exhausting, but so so worth it.
Last week, we flew from NYC to Southern California for a quick trip and do to a delayed first flight, we ended up missing our connecting flight and found ourselves stuck in Phoenix for a night. {it was a serious bummer!} If you’ve ever taken a road trip, a long flight or a red-eye flight, you likely know just how gross you can feel at the end of your travel day… so I’m sure you can guess how dirty we felt after a surprise overnight-layover with none of our bags. By the time we got to SoCal, we all felt like the need to shower. But when you only have a few precious days of vacation, you don’t want to waste a moment and want to jump straight into exploring! {Can I get an amen?}
So how do I refresh after a day of traveling without the shower? I do three things- I wash my face, brush my teeth and put on some deodorant. When traveling it might not be 100% realistic for you to wash your face and brush your teeth on-the-go, but you can absolutely reapply deodorant thanks to Secret Freshies!
I always carry a Secret Freshies in my bag. It’s small, discreet and perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle! Because let’s be honest, you never know when you might need a little extra protection against odor and sweat- especially in the summer {and even more so after having a baby! Between postpartum hormones and carrying Cayson everywhere- I feel like I’m constantly sweating}. I’ve been using Secret Deodorant for 5+ years now and love the protection it provides. I love knowing I can continue exploring {even after a long day/night of traveling} without fear of smelling or sweating through my outfit.
When we learned we would be stuck in Phoenix for a night I was beyond thankful I had my Secret Freshie in my bag. Is there anything worse than being stuck overnight without deodorant? The Secret Freshies are actually purse-perfect – they’re small enough to keep it in my purse even when I’m not traveling. I brought mine to the beach with me each day of our trip so I could reapply throughout the day as needed – easily and inconspicuously! In my opinion, fear of smelling bad should never stand in the way of going out and making memories! Click here to get your Freshies at Walmart!

I love to travel but honestly those long commutes are killer! You offer some great tips to cope and freshen up. I also walk with wet wipes because as you said, washing your face isn’t always a luxury we have access to :)
I do the same routine when I finally get to our hotel after long hours of traveling – brushing my teeth, washing my face, and applying deodrant. Secret Freshies looks adorable and I love that it can discretely fit into your bag and is super convenient to carry. Definitely the perfect travel companion! I also do like carrying wet wipes and hand sanitiser cause it keeps me feeling a bit more fresh.
To travel with 2-3 months old baby is really a brave move. I loved that your baby is also Travel buff and is looking comfortable on the beach. Your secret Freshies look adorable as it can be easily carried and stored in the small bag too. Wet wipes are the most important stuff to travel with small ones.
This seems like a great product. Long travels are often exhausting and product like this is really useful. Love how you travel with a baby. I too travel with a 6 year old and can vouch that it can’t be easy always.
I’ve never heard of this product, but I guess you can only get it in the US? It’s lovely to see you’re back travelling again, and with your little one too. Looking forward to reading about your next travels.
This is interesting, I have never heard of (or seen) Secret Freshies but it seems like a great idea to feel fresh after a long day of travelling. I’d rather get into a shower but its true that sometimes its just not an option. This seems like a good idea, let me look into Secret Freshies and see if I can even find it here in Dubai!
Firstly Cayson is such a cute baby, lots of love amd kisses to him. I’m really amazed and inspired that you travelled with your little one. The secret Freshies sounds like a very handy item for not only while travelling for a long time but also on a regular basis. Have to check if we get seecret Freshies or some alternative product in India, it is very useful.
Wow I love the look of this product. Your pictures are totally awesome however. Frankly not sure I would have the energy to travel with a newborn but then I’m no spring chicken lol
I wonder if we can get that here. It looks quite handy and refreshing indeed. I loved your review of the same. And even more, loved those pictures of you guys on the beach. Those baby feet are so cute! Cheers
I haven’t seen these yet!! I definitely need to stock up on these for travel. How convenient! I actually needed them last week when we were out of town!
secret is one of my favorite deodorants! i tried to go the natural route and they’re sadly just not the same.
I always feel like I need to shower after traveling all day, these are perfect tips to hit the ground running when you get there, though!
This sounds like a great product! I am a fan of anything that makes it easier to get ready and go!
