I would love to see how you pack a carry on as your only luggage. I have plenty of space in a carry on but how do you fit all liquids(skin care, body care, makeup, shampoo, conditioner, etc) in a quart sized bag??
I would love to see a video of you and Tyler, sharing how you pay and budget for all your travel expenses. Do you use certain credit cards with points, travel apps or what do you recommend? I’m trying to plan a European vacation next year and would love any money saving tips you would be willing to share. I know Tyler owns a travel agency so I’m sure he’s more in the know than most of us. Thank you for any words of wisdom 🥰 Love you and have watched your videos for close to 8yrs!❤️🥰
I found this video really helpful. It's nice to see what you found useful and what you didn't end up using. I would love to see a full video of your girl's luggage, what was useful for them, and what didn't get used. 😀
Hello there! I’m just curious, what did you do with Pinochle while you were gone? Trixie, my poodle, would go into panic if she could not be with me. She is my sidekick.💕
Girl, I feel you, I was crying at my daughter's 5th grade DARE graduation.... Partially because she is moving onto middle school this fall, but mostly because it's crazy how FAST it goes. People warn you, but moments like that it HITS you!!!!!!
Having a neck air conditioner/neck fan is great because you don't have to hold it:) I usually use it when I go to Japan during summer (it's super hot & humid during summer there).
I like to do this on my trips too, to review & improve my packing. Most recently, I went to Columbus Ohio, and I brought a few things I didn't need at all. I brought a jacket I didn't need, and jeans I didn't need. (It was springtime, but quite warm.) I ended up buying another lotion when I got there, because I pared my skincare regimen down too much and something was missing. (Super dry skin here.) I also ended up buying cheap target sunglasses, because I grabbed an old pair of mine that was super bent out of shape. And finally, the worst thing for me, was that I didn't bring my hair mousse since I was carry-on only, and at that same target run I bought a tresemme mousse since it was the only one in a travel size at target. This did nothing to hold or encourage my waves... definitely not worth it for my hair type. I am investing in a different product next time that won't alarm the TSA. 🥲
I always feel like I’m missing out on glosses. They do look so pretty after application, but I find them uncomfortable and I’m always drinking something during the day… water mostly or coffee… and I don’t like leaving a sticky mark on my drinks. But I don’t like the thickness and stickiness. They always feel so heavy and I’m always mashing my lips together when wearing a gloss and I hate that. No luck with lip oils either.
I just got back from a 1,000 mile road trip [ETA: 2,000 miles round trip]. I brought my Owala bottle. I used it in the car. When I ran out of the ice water I brought from home, I started filling it with bottled water just to help keep it cold longer. I didn't end up using it much when I got to my destination though because I would park my car downtown and walk for miles. It was impractical to carry around a heavy steel bottle, especially since there weren't places to refill it. I regretted packing that. I packed way too many clothes for a two-week trip. Next time, I will pack a week of clothes and accept that I need to do laundry (I had to do laundry even though I didn't even wear half my clothes). I knew rain was forecast so I packed my rain jacket but I didn't also pack rain boots of any kind and I had regrets when I was walking around with soggy shoes and socks. At least I had dry shoes packed to change into later. I knew we'd be hiking near a waterfall so I brought my hiking boots. Didn't realize the entire trail was fully paved. Welp! My favorite things that I packed were disposable face cloths (used on my face, and in the shower), and Greenies pill pockets. Traveled with my senior dog who needs meds twice a day and those made it so easy to medicate her even on the road. I make my own pill pockets with wet food at home but that would have been messy and impractical in the car.
When you brought out your new favorite toiletry bag I was like YES! I have one exactly like it by the brand Lug. I have it in two sizes and absolutely LOVE it!
I also printed sudoku and crosswords for our trip this summer! I have the oasis too so I’m glad to hear the pouch fit that size kindle and I can put my puzzles and pencil in it too!!!
Went to Rome last June. It was absolutely beautiful, but so incredibly hot. Add to the heat, people like sardines in a can. Dressing, cool, and staying hydrated is the best thing that you can do for yourself. Comfy shoes as well. I wouldn’t have traded it for anything though.
I took the Beis Sports Sling as my bag for a similar trip and LOVED it!!!!! I just bought a plastic bottle and the bag has a water bottle pouch, which was so convenient. Fit my kindle, phone, cards, sunglasses, and more. Definitely recommend!
I sweated so much in India I didn't really have to pee very often. I would drink water, but immediately I was sweating! That is a very good tip about the hydration packets!
I love this kind of video thank you thank you thank you! We went on our first Disney Cruise 10 years ago and I so overpacked! I made a list of what I actually used on that trip and I still use it to this day because you forget between trips what you used and what you didn’t use!
In a see of influencers that are not disclosing as per FTC you are a breath of fresh air, I trust you above all other You Tubers! Not all your recommendations work for me (different skin type, different tastes sometimes)but I know you are honest and that's rare nowadays! ❤
Totally agree about the fan!! I went to London and Paris a few weeks ago. It was only on the low 70’s but boy I wished I hadn’t forgotten the fan especially with lack of AC and crowds on the street and metro.
Haha this is just the content I enjoy. It’s always interesting to reflect on what you use vs what you brought. I also just came back from a trip and I thought I packed light but actually, I could’ve packed a whole lot less.
