You know I’m all about helping you transform from the inside out — setting boundaries, healing from narcissistic abuse, stepping into your power, and letting go of what no longer serves you.
BUT…I also get asked all the time what I pack for travel, what skincare and makeup I use, how I stay camera and stage-ready — and are any of these things that help me stay confident, calm, and collected actually affordable?
So…here it is. The list I wasn’t going to share — but you wanted it!
Below are just a few of my favorites I’ve compiled for you — travel, beauty, skincare, and personal growth categories. Some are little luxuries and some are daily essentials. And every single one I’ve actually purchased, tried, and loved. (Or if it’s no a longer available, a close match!)
Any many are on deep discount for Prime Days!
✈️ Travel Essentials
For solo adventures, work trips, and any other kind of getaway.
Packing cubes are a must! The ones I have are no longer available, but this set is under $15! LINKED HERE
I cannot go without noise canceling headphones and this is one area I do not skimp. $120 OFF RIGHT NOW!
For international travel, a universal power adaptor is a must. And this makes a great gift 🎁 for the traveler in your life. UNDER $20!
And of course Francine travels, too! So a portable water bowl is a must. DOG BOWL
And for going to concerts, sporting events, etc — you MUST have a stadium friendly bag. This one is currently under 10 bucks and it’s the one I used to go to The Eras Tour! GET THE BAG
🎤 Beauty Products That Are Keynote-Proof
These products have been tried and tested and help me stay confident and ready — on stage and on camera.

The under eye brightener that might be the best value purchase ever! It’s normally only $6 AND is 20% off for Prime Days! YES PLEASE
💧Skincare That I Trust
With 20+ years in the aesthetics industry, I won’t gate keep here.
I just re-ordered these under eye masks this morning because they’re 42% off for Prime Days. These could also be considered a travel essential. EYE MASKS

The neck massager I can’t get enough of! ON SALE FOR UNDER $40!
And my favorite guided journal, of course — I’M MY FAVORITE 🌱
Some of these are basic and some are a little more of a splurge. I tried to keep it simple and share just a handful in each category. But all of these help me show up fully — for myself and for the people that I serve.
Yep, a bunch of them are on sale for Prime Days. If you’re been wanting to treat yourself to something supportive and confidence-boosting, grab a little something from the list.
Looking for a specific recommendation? Message me and I’m happy to help!
And don’t forget to let me know what you grab — and love! I always love hearing what you’re loving, too!
