I think I may have given you this tip before, but if not... I recycle empty Rx medicine bottles to hold Q-Tips for travel. Can get a lot of them into one bottle. I also use them to hold antibacterial wipes for airplanes, hotel rooms, and cruise cabins. Depending on the size of the wipes, I can fit 6-8 wipes into one normal size Rx medicine bottle - and they will not leak. Saves us money as the single use ones are much more expensive per wipe than ones from bulk size canisters. Also better for the environment as no excess waste from the packets.
@@kimcarroll1129 Yes, I always take extra baggies (of various sizes) with me. But, for wipes, have found the Rx bottles to be neater & more leak-free than than zip lock bags. Have been traveling all over the world by air, sea and train for over 50 years and this hack - which I've used for the past 20 years - works well for us. YMMV.
Hey Laurie! I just wanted to pop on here quickly and say a huge big THANK YOU for all yoυr suggestions, tips, & tricks! I "traveled 'half' the globe without a worry in the world" 🦘🇦🇺 because of yoυr ingenius ideas. Thank you for sharing yoυr experiences as a pilot's wife!
Wow, a lot of great suggestions Laurie, thank you. The suggestion of toilet paper reminded me, are you familiar with Potty Packs? That is both the company name and their original product, although they have quite a few little pocket sized kits now. I always keep a potty pack in my purse, and usually one or two of their other little packets too. Personally, I find the Park Pack and the Winter Pack the most useful for my needs, but they do have quite a variety. The travel pack can be good for your in flight amenity kit, and younger women might find a period pack useful to keep on hand for 'unexpected arrivals'. I have changed to a solid sunscreen, in something that looks like a solid deoderant canister. I get it at Walmart, and recently discovered the tiniest travel size solid deoderant I've ever seen at Walmart - in the travel section, Native, they are organic too. I use the dry soap sheets meant for hikers to do my laundry in the hotel sink. Also something called a Scrubba Wash Bag, which serves as a dry bag and also lets me easily wash out the day's clothing at night to hang up to dry for the next day.
Hi Laurie, thanks for the Sephora reusable travel jars information. I’ve checked into other brands and they are very pricey. Turns out this weekend Sephora had a sale and I got them for 50% off, only $6 for 3 jars! Can’t beat that.
As an Australian, my flights tend to be long-maybe 11 hours to first layover (which might be hours) , then another 8 or ten hours next flight. I like to strip off my makeup and redo it mid way, so I carry a couple of facial cleaner wipes, then for moisturizer and foundation, I put a little bit in a contact lens case. Each little compartment holds just the right amount for one full re-do.
We just returned from 2 weeks in Germany, Austria & Italy. We traveled with a large garment bag that had our formalwear for our Sons wedding in Austria. I was determined to make our suitcase as light as possible. I listened to your suggestions and purchased items from Amazon that I loved and would highly recommend also. The makeup case is perfect and I loved the liquids bag. That was included. Tide packets came in handy as well as the individual wash cloth squares that expand with water! I tossed away our plastic bar soap holder and used the soap bag.. LOVED IT😊 I bought a second set of National park compression bags too. My only complaint were the wheel covers, they didn’t hold up over the cobblestones and we tossed them in Italy 🤣 I love your tips and the items you recommended are amazing..minus the wheel covers 😂 All the items I have purchased over the past 2 years have made packing and travel so easy 🙏 God bless for your help
I use those little pill pouches for everything! Work for even creams, hair paste, first aid, sewing kit etc for edc purse. Very indispensable for travel.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m going to New York for a short trip in February and all of the other videos on RUclips were for products that were insanely expensive. You rock!
Thanks Laurie I ordered 4 items off of your list tonight. Prepping for the safari adventure coming up and the S France river cruise. You do find the best things!!!!
Excellent tips!!!!!!!!! I put some of the items you suggested in my Amazon cart I am getting them for my upcoming trip I feel I can't go on my trips without your travel tips Thank you God bless
Instead of mascara primer, buy a tubing mascara. They don't flack, smudge, and come off with just warm water. Lots of makeup brands have them. Elf has a great one ( $8.00 ) dupe for Trive ( $ 24.00 ). Calaray has a good one, too. This eliminates carrying 2 separate items.
If those little jars are magnetic, then they should attach to walls on cruise ship. 🤪 Here’s a cheap tip. Use a good-sized safety pin to close top of your pants pocket on pants. Would make it difficult for pickpocket. I never tuck in my shirts, so no one can see it. Those facial sponges are cute. Hi Aulie.
Laurie, I’m at O’Hare and on my way to Denver right now, and because you have taught me so much, I stress less. Thank you for sharing your wisdom about and experience with travel. You bless so many. I wish you tremendous joy and peace.
I always really love seeing your videos pop up here Laurie, and this one is fantastic. I have got so many wonderful toiletries ideas now. Can’t wait to travel again! Thank you!
Hey!!! I’m Dana. New Follower and loving your channel. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together. I love them and you totally keep me company when I’m traveling alone. I’ll be traveling quite a bit this year, so I’m wanting to pack smarter but look stylish while walking through the airport. I’ve been working on finding great looking 2 or 3 pc sets that are comfy but looks terrific (classy & rich). Keep the videos coming. 🤗
Love all your videos. When you’re cleaning down your area on the plane, don’t forget to wipe down your headrest!!!! Also, I read that you’re allowed to carry more than 3.4 ounce container of antibacterial liquid. I carry about a 6 ounce container of spray antibacterial liquid and then use it in my rental car as well. ☺️
@@TravelTipsbyLaurieI could have used them in a "pocket hotel" in Glasgow! The sink was so narrow that the water ran down my elbows and got my feet wet when I washed my face!😂. By the way, have you tried the L'Oreal eyelash primer?
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Well, you know that Lancome and L'Oreal are the same company, right? The great thing about "drugstore brands" is that you can return them and get a refund if you don't like them at Walgreens, Rite Aid, and Ulta. Higher price with cosmetics doesn't necessarily equal higher quality. My friend who's a make-up artist told me that and I've experienced it myself.
I’ve been using those wrist bands for a year now. They are amazing and part of my daily routine! I keep 3 sets so I can frequently wash/rotate them out. They’re the best!
Hey Laurie Just wanted to say the headband is amazing. Can't believe I haven't tried one of these before. Perfect for washing your face as well as when you apply skincare or make up. It will definitely be in my carry on when I travel to the US later this year. Love your fantastic channel. Gill in the UK
I discovered Body Glide years ago when our family would go to Walt Disney World. Absolutely the best thing ever to put on your feet to prevent blisters or to prevent chafing on other parts of your body. This also reminds me I need to put this on my list for my November trip to Munich!
Thank you for your videos! A friend recommended you and like you, we fly standby! Going to Europe in July with just a carry on!😬 I’ve done it before and it made my husband so happy! Your tips are so great and helpful!!
Hi Laurie! I am thoroughly enjoying all your tips & tricks. I am using many of them. I had never heard of shampoo bars until I saw one of your videos. I am a bit concerned with fitting everything into my liquids bag. So, I ordered a shampoo & conditioner bar from Amazon. Not lush, as they did not have it but something else that had good reviews. I hope it will work for me! Thanks again! ❤️
I was just thinking this myself! I have major problems every time I go on a beach vacation with sandals blistering even though I wear them all the time with no problems at home. Buying some right away for our next trip!
Hey Laurie and everyone. Avoid watery shampoos and consider eco-friendly concentrated shampoo and conditioner Everist. My hair looks so healthy now too. For hand washing / Laundry, you can cut pieces of True Earth laundry strips. No liquid and eco-friendly again. I also put a chunk of deodorant into a small jar. Lasts forever. Takes little space. Happy travels! Would you consider doing a sustainable travel tips video?
Another great video. My tip: when dying my roots, they have a teenie bottle in the box & I save, wash out well & re-use when traveling to decant toner, mouthwash, nail polish remover, etc. Total space savers. I can then toss out or fill again, depending on what I've previously filled them up with. 😊
Trader Joe’s doesn’t sell their products online, resellers often sell their products for way more than what TJ’s is selling it for. Highly recommend buying the sunscreen in person if you can.
For keeping water from running down your arms while washing your face, the old style cotton sweat bands (used by tennis players) work too. And probably cheaper!
Thanks a lot Laurie for all your wonderful tips. I travel a lot and your content is always "my go to" days before my trip to check on whatever I will be needing and surely your tips are always sent from heaven😁
Laurie: I just bought the Tripped Toiletry set based on your recommendation. I like the liquids bag but can't wrap my head around how to use the other part of the set. I can't figure out how to organize it. Plus, since I have TSA Precheck my liquids don't need to be out. So, I tried closing it up inside the other bag but it does not fit. Do you have any suggestions for how to use it differently? Or, how could I use it in a better way to use it as the toiletry set? I do love the quality! {and I snagged it on a deal}. Maybe you could do an updated video with all the things you put in the bag? Thanks!!
I can totally do that. I put brushes in the top with whatever else goes. I put makeup palettes etc in the bottom hanging part. Then I put toothbrush, comb, hair band, wrapped floss sticks in the mesh part. This flight I am packing my in-flight essentials in the bottom part so I can hang it sometimes.
Based on your recommendation, i bought those travel wipes for our trip to Spain last month. They worked grear. My husband poo pooed them at the beginning but would ask for them by halfway through the trip
Thanks for your videos. I loved them! If you're sitting next to the airplane/bus window, don't forget to wipe down the window with your anti-bacteria wipes.
Hi Laurie, I love your channel. Your tips are amazing. Girl have I got a question for you. My husband and I are traveling to Tahiti in August we are taking his Mom and Dad's cremation remains to their final resting spot. I have worked with the French Counsel to finalize approval and paperwork. We will be carrying one box each in duffle bag and a back pack. Could you please suggest ways that we could maximize the duffle bag or should we not do anything more. I am thinking that only the box will fit under the seat. Contents much must stay in the boxes bc they have their own special number that identifies who they are. Thank you in advance.
I have that travel toothbrush and I love it. I also have a terry cloth headband and wristbands. I love that I don’t have water dripping down my arms as I wash my face. I have the Q-Tip travel case you can get in the travel size area from Target. I use the sandwich bad and cotton ball tip with my toner and eye makeup remover. I love the little ziplock bags for my jewelry and other items too. So convenient. The Tide pens are very awesome. Love them.
Off topic for this particular video, but you recommend the Flex Flap for your phone. Do you think it could be used to hold a drink in a grocery cart? So for example, at Costco, could I use the Flex Flap around my drink (through the holes in the cart), to keep the drink upright and held in the top basket? (No kids to worry about, but those lids don't completely close and I've already dropped one drink there.) :)
Thanks for another great video Laurie! I’ve used so many of your wonderful tips over the past few years even though I don’t pack carryon only: you’ve helped me save a lot of time & space! I like those little heart-shaped sponges you showed but I recently discovered the Olay Daily Facials Water-Activated Dry Cloths & took enough for each day (in a ziplock bag) w/me to Europe. They’re great for removing makeup & save on precious liquids space. Now I need the eyelash primer & TJ Sunscreen! Thanks again!
How long do the cotton balls with eye makeup remover last? I will try this but let me know. I’ll be checking out a few things in this list. Thanks Laurie!
I use the cotton rounds for this tip. I make sure there is plenty of remover on the round, not dripping but moist all over. I’ve had them last 5 weeks! It was an accident but now I know.
Hi Laurie, Gloria here. We canceled our trip to Israel so we are going to Italy instead. In September. Can’t wait. Anyway your videos have helped me sooo much! By the way you look beautiful, fit and rested. 😊
Hi, it is, but some airlines are counting them as extras I have heard. I talk about and show it in another Amazon video from last year, but I felt like it was totally obvious.
Laundry detergent sheets are my current product that I use for both home and travel. I use Earth Breeze, unscented. They work great. For travel you can cut or tear into smaller pieces for sink washing. Or if you have a washing machine in your accommodation, you can use a whole sheet.
Laurie, I am looking for a better travel spritz bottle for hairspray. Any suggestions? I currently decant hairspray into an inexpensive spritz bottle, but am worried about leaking. Also, I love using the Olay facial cloths for travel. They are dry and pack nicely in a sandwich baggie. I cut them in half. Use one half at night and then one half in the morning. (I do use the MK eye makeup remover as well. I find it works better with cotton pads rather than cotton balls.)
I have been also using the MK makeup remover cloths that are discontinued sadly. For hairspray? Maybe you could call Ulta just to see what they suggest.
I can only guess that you might be planning a video on your "shallow containers" as you called them. I have watched several videos on this brand and I am interested to see what you think of them after several months of use. I did find them to be a bit pricey and while they are super cool and compact, I do not love that for many products you have to stick your fingers in or use a little cosmetic spatula. I have read they do not hold up so well. I am still looking at getting some small airless pump bottles for my face wash and lotion etc and some super small spray bottles for things like heat protectant spray for my hair and the like. I recently found sample bottles of my favourite shampoo and conditioner that come in little pouches similar to the refillable ones you can get on amazon and I really liked travelling with those!!!
I have seen those pouches. I have not liked the pump bottles probably because my lotion is so thick it would not budge. I like them but I really need to take more than the shallow amount holds honestly. I like how they close and I like that they're magnetic.
A HUGE thank you for all your hacks, tips & advice! It has come in so handy for an upcoming trip. So glad I found your channel!! 😊 One big question I have which I can’t find online concerning carry on liquids is this: I have several very small items of liquid I’d like to take with eg. Visine (15ml), and a tube of concealer (8ml). Are they each considered one item even though they are no way near the limit of 100ml? In other words, if I were to pack them with my other liquids, would I only be allowed another 8 items to total my limit of 10? Thanks so much!
@@gingerluedke5857 … Although the info I read was a limit of 10 items, up to and including 3.4 oz. each, which is why I was asking. Guess every country has their own rules.
Hi, you can take as many items of cream/liquid/gels as long as they 1. fit in a clear quart sized bag that zips and 2. the containers are 3.4 ounces or smaller.
I don’t think you showed the reusable pouches in this video but I can’t find the original video or the pouches-you said they collapse down when using whatever you have in them. I think they are silicone -don’t think the gotube-do you have link for these pouches? TIA
RMS Beauty makes awesome oil wipes to replace the makeup remover balm on travel. With micellar water as the second step all sunscreen and makeup is gone in the evening 😊
So if you need more space but have a spill prone husband like me, I constantly have stain remover wipes that come in a blue box from dollar tree....they are amazing and a god send especially when he drops his choccie ice cream on his white shirt....it came out like it was never there. He has then now in his work bag for when he has business meetings.
Laurie, I live in San Antonio and Lush is still open in the Shops at La Cantera. I bet they would ship to you. I love their shampoo, conditioner and lotion bars for travel! Also use those toothpaste tablets.
@@lynnevandewalle3829 I need to visit! They only have one online, and I received it and it's the one I use so I am so relieved!!! Thank you so much Lynn!
Basin is my favorite online store for shampoo & conditioner bars. They also have bath bombs and other items that I don’t use for travel, but I use the shampoo & conditioner bars every day. (I discovered their stores at Disney Springs & the Grand Floridian at Walt Disney World)
I flew internationally last month. The airline gave out wipes as we boarded, but I forgot to wipe the buckle of the seatbelt. I came down with the flu the day after I got home again. At least I didn't get sick outbound.
Hi, Laurie, you are delightful to watch. I wish you could elaborate on the shampoo bar. I have shoulder length thick hair and I am not sure it would work for me. Thoughts?
Shampoo bars have worked for me with all lengths of hair. I love them and will never buy shampoo in a bottle again - bottled shampoo is mostly water plus uses too much plastic
Lush online: I adore Lush products, but don’t have a nearby store so I use their online store all the time. It’s not the gorgeous experience you get in-store, but it works well. I ordered a bunch of stuff a couple of days ago, and it was packed and in the mail the next day. I’ve never had an order screwed up or any damage.

The Matador soap bag is genius, saves space in my toiletries bag versus the chunky container I was using! REI sells it if sold out on Amazon.
The container store also sells them.

Body Glide is excellent on feet too. When shoes create a little hot spot (blister) a little Body Glide on it will save you!
What?! Travel hack!
I was just thinking this myself! I have major problems every time I go on a beach vacation with sandals blistering even though I wear them all the time with no problems at home. Buying some right away for our next trip!
Awesome travel tips AGAIN!!! You go sista-girl!!!! Blessings
Thanks for all the great travel ideas!
You bet!
Hey Laurie and everyone. Avoid watery shampoos and consider eco-friendly concentrated shampoo and conditioner Everist. My hair looks so healthy now too. For hand washing / Laundry, you can cut pieces of True Earth laundry strips. No liquid and eco-friendly again. I also put a chunk of deodorant into a small jar. Lasts forever. Takes little space. Happy travels! Would you consider doing a sustainable travel tips video?
You fly on an airplane powered by jet fuel and you want us to be mindful of eco friendly toiletries. Ok.
Hey Laurie, Thanks again. FYI the link to GoToob container is the same has the headband.
I loved your list!! It helped me add/take out things I had on my list!!😊
Glad it was helpful! Don't miss the free printable.
Another great video. My tip: when dying my roots, they have a teenie bottle in the box & I save, wash out well & re-use when traveling to decant toner, mouthwash, nail polish remover, etc. Total space savers. I can then toss out or fill again, depending on what I've previously filled them up with. 😊
Ooh, thanks!!
Trader Joe’s doesn’t sell their products online, resellers often sell their products for way more than what TJ’s is selling it for. Highly recommend buying the sunscreen in person if you can.
New sub here, I'm actually on vacation right now in Sarasota,love your videos! Keep them coming!💯
Love all your tips!
Thanks so much!
Try the Kitsch Shampoo/conditioner bars. Not sure which one you'd need but they have a quiz online to help you choose or try them from Ulta.
Oh that's nice! Found mine at lush.com thankfully.
For keeping water from running down your arms while washing your face, the old style cotton sweat bands (used by tennis players) work too. And probably cheaper!
Why didn’t I invent these things?! They are a game changer at 52 years old
Thanks a lot Laurie for all your wonderful tips. I travel a lot and your content is always "my go to" days before my trip to check on whatever I will be needing and surely your tips are always sent from heaven😁
You are so welcome!
Laurie: I just bought the Tripped Toiletry set based on your recommendation. I like the liquids bag but can't wrap my head around how to use the other part of the set. I can't figure out how to organize it. Plus, since I have TSA Precheck my liquids don't need to be out. So, I tried closing it up inside the other bag but it does not fit. Do you have any suggestions for how to use it differently? Or, how could I use it in a better way to use it as the toiletry set? I do love the quality! {and I snagged it on a deal}. Maybe you could do an updated video with all the things you put in the bag? Thanks!!
I can totally do that. I put brushes in the top with whatever else goes. I put makeup palettes etc in the bottom hanging part. Then I put toothbrush, comb, hair band, wrapped floss sticks in the mesh part. This flight I am packing my in-flight essentials in the bottom part so I can hang it sometimes.
Mary Kay Director here and I hadn’t thought about adding the make up remover to the cotton rounds 🤩 i love that!
Love Mary Kay! Been using their skin care, makeup remover, mask and foundation for 30+ years
I discovered detergent sheets - they work great for washing things and it´s not liquid! Ethique makes great shampoo and conditioner bars.
Yes! Great one for a long trip too.
Based on your recommendation, i bought those travel wipes for our trip to Spain last month. They worked grear. My husband poo pooed them at the beginning but would ask for them by halfway through the trip
Thanks for your videos. I loved them! If you're sitting next to the airplane/bus window, don't forget to wipe down the window with your anti-bacteria wipes.
Thank you! Love the Mary Kay tip!
Hi Laurie, I love your channel. Your tips are amazing.
Girl have I got a question for you. My husband and I are traveling to Tahiti in August we are taking his Mom and Dad's cremation remains to their final resting spot. I have worked with the French Counsel to finalize approval and paperwork. We will be carrying one box each in duffle bag and a back pack. Could you please suggest ways that we could maximize the duffle bag or should we not do anything more. I am thinking that only the box will fit under the seat. Contents much must stay in the boxes bc they have their own special number that identifies who they are. Thank you in advance.
I have that travel toothbrush and I love it. I also have a terry cloth headband and wristbands. I love that I don’t have water dripping down my arms as I wash my face. I have the Q-Tip travel case you can get in the travel size area from Target. I use the sandwich bad and cotton ball tip with my toner and eye makeup remover. I love the little ziplock bags for my jewelry and other items too. So convenient. The Tide pens are very awesome. Love them.
So cool!
Off topic for this particular video, but you recommend the Flex Flap for your phone. Do you think it could be used to hold a drink in a grocery cart? So for example, at Costco, could I use the Flex Flap around my drink (through the holes in the cart), to keep the drink upright and held in the top basket? (No kids to worry about, but those lids don't completely close and I've already dropped one drink there.) :)
Yay! Hey Laurie! Been missing you. Glad to see you and hear of these great items! God Bless you and your family!
Blessings to you!
Random question. Do you have a video with the best luggage tags? I havent found one yet. TY
I take laundry detergent sheets. Perk they are dry and you can tear them for small sink loads. Love these videos btw!
Such a good lightweight item.
I love that you mention when something is or isn’t considered a liquid ❤
Ooh glad that is helpful.
Thanks for another great video Laurie! I’ve used so many of your wonderful tips over the past few years even though I don’t pack carryon only: you’ve helped me save a lot of time & space! I like those little heart-shaped sponges you showed but I recently discovered the Olay Daily Facials Water-Activated Dry Cloths & took enough for each day (in a ziplock bag) w/me to Europe. They’re great for removing makeup & save on precious liquids space. Now I need the eyelash primer & TJ Sunscreen!
Thanks again!
That's great!
As always another helpful video! Thank you. Jr
How long do the cotton balls with eye makeup remover last? I will try this but let me know. I’ll be checking out a few things in this list. Thanks Laurie!
I use the cotton rounds for this tip. I make sure there is plenty of remover on the round, not dripping but moist all over. I’ve had them last 5 weeks! It was an accident but now I know.
Another great dup for your sunscreen is the e.l.f. Whoa Glow sunscreen. Has an sfp of 30. Fantastic product and much more reasonable than the Goop. 😊
Hi Laurie, Gloria here. We canceled our trip to Israel so we are going to Italy instead. In September. Can’t wait. Anyway your videos have helped me sooo much! By the way you look beautiful, fit and rested. 😊
Unless the government said not to than I would still go. Don't believe the mainstream media stories
Sounds great! I hope it’s a wonderful vacation.
I love your videos, they are so helpful. Just want to let you know that the link for the pink pouch is for a different travel bag. 😊
Hi, thanks so much. Here it is: amzn.to/4erDydM
Laurie, I've seen the "tube" where you pack extra clothes or personal items, and it can be used as a neck pillow. Is this TSA approved?
Hi, it is, but some airlines are counting them as extras I have heard. I talk about and show it in another Amazon video from last year, but I felt like it was totally obvious.
Love your videos! Subscribed!
Yay! Thank you!
How did get the tiny tube of perfume and how did you decant it?
Great tips, thank you!
Laundry detergent sheets are my current product that I use for both home and travel. I use Earth Breeze, unscented. They work great. For travel you can cut or tear into smaller pieces for sink washing. Or if you have a washing machine in your accommodation, you can use a whole sheet.
Love it! So helpful for a long trip too. I could make a 4 hour long video if I showed every essential lol.
Great video! I use so many of your travel tips.
Hi Mary! Glad the tips help
Laurie, I am looking for a better travel spritz bottle for hairspray. Any suggestions? I currently decant hairspray into an inexpensive spritz bottle, but am worried about leaking. Also, I love using the Olay facial cloths for travel. They are dry and pack nicely in a sandwich baggie. I cut them in half. Use one half at night and then one half in the morning. (I do use the MK eye makeup remover as well. I find it works better with cotton pads rather than cotton balls.)
I have been also using the MK makeup remover cloths that are discontinued sadly. For hairspray? Maybe you could call Ulta just to see what they suggest.
I can only guess that you might be planning a video on your "shallow containers" as you called them. I have watched several videos on this brand and I am interested to see what you think of them after several months of use. I did find them to be a bit pricey and while they are super cool and compact, I do not love that for many products you have to stick your fingers in or use a little cosmetic spatula. I have read they do not hold up so well.
I am still looking at getting some small airless pump bottles for my face wash and lotion etc and some super small spray bottles for things like heat protectant spray for my hair and the like. I recently found sample bottles of my favourite shampoo and conditioner that come in little pouches similar to the refillable ones you can get on amazon and I really liked travelling with those!!!
I have seen those pouches. I have not liked the pump bottles probably because my lotion is so thick it would not budge. I like them but I really need to take more than the shallow amount holds honestly. I like how they close and I like that they're magnetic.
Good info!!
Thanks!
I just love your videos Laurie! Thank you from Australia
Hi!!
A HUGE thank you for all your hacks, tips & advice! It has come in so handy for an upcoming trip. So glad I found your channel!! 😊 One big question I have which I can’t find online concerning carry on liquids is this: I have several very small items of liquid I’d like to take with eg. Visine (15ml), and a tube of concealer (8ml). Are they each considered one item even though they are no way near the limit of 100ml? In other words, if I were to pack them with my other liquids, would I only be allowed another 8 items to total my limit of 10? Thanks so much!
It doesn't matter how many liquid items you carry as long as they can fit in your liquid bag and are 3.4 oz or smaller.
@@gingerluedke5857 thanks!!
@@gingerluedke5857 … Although the info I read was a limit of 10 items, up to and including 3.4 oz. each, which is why I was asking. Guess every country has their own rules.
Hi, you can take as many items of cream/liquid/gels as long as they 1. fit in a clear quart sized bag that zips and 2. the containers are 3.4 ounces or smaller.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Awesome! Thank you!
I don’t think you showed the reusable pouches in this video but I can’t find the original video or the pouches-you said they collapse down when using whatever you have in them. I think they are silicone -don’t think the gotube-do you have link for these pouches? TIA
For laundry one could use Sunlight bar soap, it is for laundry, and shave a few pieces off the big bar to use, that way it won't count as a liquid.
Love that hack
The High Fiver Pallet by Pak is FANTASTIC! Worth every penny!
RMS Beauty makes awesome oil wipes to replace the makeup remover balm on travel. With micellar water as the second step all sunscreen and makeup is gone in the evening 😊
Thanks!
Love❤ your travel essentials videos! The floss packets are great, ordered for our Panama trip in 2 weeks! 👙🦀🌴🌺🌞
Ooh have such a great trip! I wanna go
I have an extra suitcase with your name on it! :)🥰
@@kymberly1231 Bwhahahaha
So if you need more space but have a spill prone husband like me, I constantly have stain remover wipes that come in a blue box from dollar tree....they are amazing and a god send especially when he drops his choccie ice cream on his white shirt....it came out like it was never there.
He has then now in his work bag for when he has business meetings.
Thank you for all you tips. BTW- I didn’t see the link for the 4-pc pocket bag set?
Hi, was it for the tray table?
Great tips! I use my label maker to label all my little containers
Thanks for your wonderful tips. Your dog is adorable❤
Thank you! 😊
Laurie, I live in San Antonio and Lush is still open in the Shops at La Cantera. I bet they would ship to you.
I love their shampoo, conditioner and lotion bars for travel! Also use those toothpaste tablets.
@@lynnevandewalle3829 I need to visit! They only have one online, and I received it and it's the one I use so I am so relieved!!! Thank you so much Lynn!
Basin is my favorite online store for shampoo & conditioner bars. They also have bath bombs and other items that I don’t use for travel, but I use the shampoo & conditioner bars every day. (I discovered their stores at Disney Springs & the Grand Floridian at Walt Disney World)
Cool!
I’ve always used hotel/resort/cruise shampoos to rinse clothes out.
Yes, it's another option.
always love your info...viv
Love BK Beauty brushes !!
This is another great travel tips video, especially for carry-on only. (Wife of a DFW pilot).
Glad it was helpful!
I flew internationally last month. The airline gave out wipes as we boarded, but I forgot to wipe the buckle of the seatbelt. I came down with the flu the day after I got home again.
At least I didn't get sick outbound.
True!
So Good! I have the makeup brush case and I love it, but DON’T get black! You can’t see inside it, so I will get the light colored one for next trip.
Ooh I never would've thought about that. Great point!
Thanks Laurie, I now have a shopping list with 4 items!
They’re so fun and actually help when traveling!
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie you're going to be the financial death of me 🤣🤣
Nice story of friendship!
Hi, Laurie, you are delightful to watch. I wish you could elaborate on the shampoo bar. I have shoulder length thick hair and I am not sure it would work for me. Thoughts?
Shampoo bars have worked for me with all lengths of hair. I love them and will never buy shampoo in a bottle again - bottled shampoo is mostly water plus uses too much plastic
You look so cute in the headband!
You are so kind!
Lush online: I adore Lush products, but don’t have a nearby store so I use their online store all the time. It’s not the gorgeous experience you get in-store, but it works well. I ordered a bunch of stuff a couple of days ago, and it was packed and in the mail the next day. I’ve never had an order screwed up or any damage.
okay, my dry scalp one came, and I think there is only one online and it was it!
