Amazon Favorites | Travel Chargers that Are Fast!

September 4, 2024 Jaine Kershner

For this month’s September Amazon Favorites, I wanted to share what I’ve purchased for when I travel for destination weddings including the best travel charger for wedding photographers. Let’s jump right in…

The BEST Travel Charger - I have been looking for a small travel charger to bring with me that will charge my Macbook Pro and iPhone at the same time in record time and boy, I think I found it. The MINIX NEO P3 100W Turbo 4-Ports GaN Wall Charger is incredible and will fully re-charge my depleted MacBook in under an HOUR. Yes, I’m not kidding! I love that it has a very small footprint in my travel gear AND I can use it internationally as well. It’s a MUST have in my book!

Travel Electronic Cable Organizer - I finally found a nice-looking travel case to organize my cables, cords, chargers, hard drives, and adapters. This one from FYY on Amazon is perfect for me. I was carrying two pouches before I found this cute little guy online AND it comes in many wonderful colors. Highly Recommend!

The Smallest Sound Machine - Ever since the birth of my daughter, I cannot sleep without a sound machine. I used to use my cellphone throughout the night but worried I’d drain the battery and end up with a dead phone. I saw this Mini Sound Machine from Babelio, I KNEW I instantly had to add it to my cart. It’s wonderful and so tiny! It doesn’t take up any space in my travel kit and is USB-C chargeable. It has 15 different sounds but I prefer the white noise the best.

Best Makeup Remover - I wear waterproof mascara (this one is my fave) every single day. I do not want to have raccoon eyes EVER at the end of a wedding day so waterproof was my solution. I needed a way to take off my makeup without tugging at my undereye skin, which is very sensitive. No Crow’s feet, please! I have been using Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water for the last 4 years and truly cannot use anything else. It’s on my subscribe and save too!

Additional Power Outlets - Ever walk into a hotel room or AirBnB and wish you had more power outlets? yeah, me too! So I decided to bring my own each time I travel now. I love these 3-way Flat Wall Power extender AC adapters. They come in a pack of 3 - which kind of feels like a steal. I keep one in my Travel Electronic Cable Organizer Case at all times.

Amazon Favorites | Tennis and Travel Faves

August 5, 2024 Jaine Kershner

For this month’s August Amazon Favorites, I wanted to share what I’ve purchased for when I travel for destination weddings, how I’m keeping my editing desk organized, and my favorite tennis apparel for when I’m on the court this Summer and Fall. Let’s jump in…

Travel ⁠

- Loop earplugs are a MUST-HAVE for wedding days and when I'm traveling.⁠ I have worn earplugs for as long as I can remember at weddings and events because, boy, it’s LOUD. I also hurt my ear one time standing too close to a speaker and it took about a year to heal, so lesson learned. I love these Loop Experience Earplugs in Black to keep my ears safe and they are very comfortable to sleep in too!

⁠- I upgraded my travel hairdryer to the T3 Micro Fit Compact Hairdrying in White and am so excited about this new compact hairdryer in my travel kit. It’s also dual voltage so when I travel across the pond to Europe or beyond, it will not get fried when I plug it in with an adapter.

⁠⁠Desk Organization:

- Keeping my desk organized has never been easier with these Magnetic Cable Clips⁠ from JoyRoom is so easy. They stick to your surface and snap closed keeping all of my cables and wires neat. I use them on my desk, on my nightstand, and in our living room too.

Tennis Apparel + Gear:

- I created a new Tennis Must Haves section inside of my Amazon Storefront with all of my favorite gear and apparel that I wear on the court.⁠ If you have been following along on my Instagram you would know that I started to play tennis again last Fall. It’s been such an incredible outlet for me to have a hobby that is not only fun but also challenges me every time I play. I’ve also made some wonderful new friends and love playing with them weekly.

My favorite tennis skirts are from Altiland - they are cooling, they have pleats and have shorts underneath. I own several colors.

Jewelry:

- I have a new jewelry obsession on Amazon. How amazing are these bangles?!⁠ I am loving adding to my current jewelry stack for really nice pieces that will not break the bank. these are so fun!

Amazon Favorites | Travel + Editing Edition

May 28, 2024 Jaine Kershner

Welcome to our new monthly blog series where I share my current and latest finds from Amazon. I love shopping on Amazon because it truly is a one-stop-shop for just about everything you could need to make your life a bit easier.

For this month’s Amazon Favorites, I wanted to share what I’ve purchased for when I travel for destination weddings, an incredible tool for editing your weddings, along with devices that make my life easier. So, Let’s jump in…

Travel

Kitsc Flat Hair Clips - Where have these been hiding my whole life? When we were in Sarasota for spring break earlier this year, I discovered flat hair clips that make lying down on the beach so much more comfortable vs. the old-style claw clip. These clips are designed to lay flat on your head meaning you can lay down and enjoy the sun without being uncomfortable. I loved them so much that I purchased two sets!

Anker Portable Magnetic iPhone Charger - I have been looking for a thin portable magnetic charger for my iPhone for a while. There is nothing worse than running out of a charge on your phone, only to realize you don’t have the right cable with you to use your portable charger. It’s happened to me too many times that I finally decided to upgrade and I’m so happy I did. I can get 2-3 full charges from this little device and I love it!

L’ANGE Hair Le Duo Grande 360 Airflow Styler - I travel a lot for weddings whether it’s to Montauk or Martha’s Vineyard and that means that I’m always looking for ways to lighten my travel bags. When I discovered this device that is a hair straightener AND curling iron in one, I knew I had to try it. I watched a few YouTube videos that helped me get the hang of it, but now that I’ve had it for over a month, I will only be packing this incredible hair duo in my carry-on luggage.

7 Compartment Pill Organizer - I’ll be the first to admit that if I don’t see my vitamins in front of my face, I will forget to take them. So this little 7-compartment pill organizer from FYY is perfect for me when I’m on the go. I fill it up with my daily vitamins and allergy medicine and I’m ready to go. I truly love finding new ways to be super organized.

Universal Travel Adapter - I’m heading to Italy and need an updated travel power adapter to convert my 110V to 220V. This little device had wonderful reviews and was recommended by a travel blogger I follow on Instagram. It was an immediate "ADD-TO-CART” and I cannot wait to try it out soon!

Microstitch Tagging Gun - This might be the best thing I’ve ever purchased from Amazon - EVER! If you ever had a dress or shirt that didn’t close or lay flat in the front, this little micro stitch tool is for you. I can add a little stitch to hold everything in place temporarily while I’m wearing a button-down top or dress. It can also help in a pinch for buttons along your waistline. Genius!

Editing Tools

Charging Base for Magic Mouse 2 Edition - As a full-time wedding photographer, I edit a lot of photos every single day of the year and during my busy season, I can’t even think about how much time I spend in front of my computer. Nothing is more frustrating than going to edit and your mouse is out of power because you didn’t charge it but with the magic mouse, you had to plug it into your computer or wall to charge but NOT ANYMORE! This ergonomic charging base for the magic mouse is a game changer. You place your mouse into the base and it clicks into place. Once inside the charging base, you can then magnetically charge and re-charge your Apple Magic Mouse. I can’t believe I JUST discovered this little hack but oh my goodness it’s a good one and I hope it helps you too!
