Angela Bassett collab on this. And when Miss Angela
Bassett drops a product, you pay attention. Hey
Vogue, it's Yara. And this is what I
take when I travel as a recent college graduate,
backpacks have been a staple for me. Freshman year
. I actually would wear two backpacks on the front
and back. I hate to admit, but this
has been my all time favorite backpack so much so
that I have one on stand by for when I
wear this out, which is inevitable. Let me
start with something that I'm sure you expect my notebook
. I tried to take inspiration from how 16 year
old Yara would journal and actually put items in here
. So here's my backstage pass from the Steve Lacy
concert we got to see in Paris, which was
incredible. I wish I could say that I journal
consistently. But when I do, I try and
make the most of it, I have all sorts
of little gadgets and things in here. I obviously
travel with a book, this book I have tried
reading multiple times. So who knows how long this
book will be with me? It has unintentionally become
a travel essential this is really random veggie wash.
Recently, people have been sharing videos of all sorts
of little creepy Crawley that are coming out of their
strawberries. And as someone that loves fresh fruit,
I like to keep my own veggie wash on me
. I think this proves I over pack. Thank
you notes. Oftentimes when I travel, it's for
work and we have these incredible experiences and many talented
people came together to make it happen. And so
we like to carry thank you notes on us.
And I think it's a nice way of reflecting on
the trip. Yes, I have that big old
journal, but there's something really special about thinking about
who is integral to your experiences that thank you note
, make you reflect on honestly, I think my
favorite travel memories is the fact that we still travel
as a family all the time. It's full circle
because my, my bubba my father used to take
us on his work trips. And so I think
what's been nice is that we get to do the
same with, with my work trips in this pouch
is quite a few objects. I'm going to start
with essential oils for me, traveling with perfume,
at least for short trips or in your carry on
can be hard but essential oils just always really last
and it doesn't take too much product. You know
, when people ask body spray, the whole place
down, that won't be you then going to lip
products. I'm going to start with Rouge Dior five
oh five, which happens to be the name of
my favorite Arctic Monkey song. And what a beautiful
shade Alex Turner was really on to something. But
truly my lifesaver, the one I refer to the
most is this type of Vaseline. The only reason
I have these lipsticks in my bag is because I
also have this Vaseline in my bag to rehydrate.
Then Miel peppermint hair oil. This is one that
I think a lot of people are familiar with because
I remember how big of a deal it was when
like Target and other places would have curly hair care
because we've only recently seen those offerings expand these big
stores. And then in the skin care world,
I love my little Barbara STM Hyaluronic Acid, but
this is in the darker skin tones line. So
I use that and I pair it with my stainless
steel Guha. What I like about stainless steel when
you're thinking about travel especially is that it's antibacterial.
This is why you eat. Boom. Anyone that
knows me knows that I love my music. I
feel like it makes a moment. And so I
love having a speaker with me right now. I'm
a lot of Samha Timmy's prayer is my favorite.
Let me see. I have my phone on me
. What's on my most played? I take voice
memos of every concert. So this is Franka.
That was Willow. She was incredible. Dominic Fike
Rosalia. The audio is great and you can hear
the audience and there's something about that ambiance that just
teleports me back to that exact moment. So obviously
after Coachella, all I was listening to were my
voice notes. Oh, sent in matches, my
friend put me on to scented matches. Remember when
pooper was the thing? And it was just,
it just dropped in stores. I say that to
say scented matches became that new way of setting the
tone in your space. Ok. My tea,
I am half Iranian and because of that, it
means that I really didn't grow up as a coffee
drinker. I'm a black tea drinker and I particularly
love sad af cardamom tea. I think there's something
that's so soothing about it when I'm thinking about small
ways where I can make myself feel comfortable in spaces
that I'm not necessarily used to. It's the little
touches that make me feel like I have ownership over
my space like I'm supposed to be in there.
So this is my Krispy Kreme hat. I got
this at Coachella recently because on our drive from Palm
Springs to the grounds, I said no way.
That's Krispy Kreme took a mental note. Then we
made sure that we left the grounds early enough to
go back while the hot light was on because my
friend hadn't gone to experience a hot light. Krispy
Kreme Donut. But this recently became my favorite hat
. When I realized I had matching shoes, I
call these the Krispy Kreme two hundreds. I,
I travel very casually. And so these touches again
, just make me feel like myself. My dream
destination right now is Marrakesh Morocco really anywhere in Morocco
. But every single time I'm in conversation with friends
, people that we've just met Morocco always comes up
as just a destination that's changed, people's lives,
changed their perspective on culture and travel. And so
I really want to go to Marrakesh. I really
want to go to Portugal, Tokyo. All right
, Vogue. Thanks for sticking with me while I
walk you through everything I bring on my travels and
it's perfect. I'm all packed for my flight tonight --> .
