It does my heart good to learn of your blue painter's tape to prevent scraping damage from your hooks. Such a little thing, but if everyone thought a tiny bit about preventing damage, it would help the world tip to the "good" side.
Thank you and I always try to think of what it would be like if I owned a place and what I would want someone to do. I actually owned two Airbnb’s for several years, and I was surprised how people just trashed things and took things. That was one of the reasons why I got out of it. But yes, we need more good in this world and I’m happy to do my part💕😊🙏
I saw a tip about taking a small glow stick on the plane, so that if you’re going to the bathroom at night it’s easy to find your seat when you come back. Hang it to the tray table. I thought that it was a great idea.
Thank you so much! It’s taken many decades of traveling to start to really get it down and just as I start to the airlines are making changes for us to travel, lighter and smaller, so I’ve got to keep evolving😂💕😊
I am so happy that these travel hacks are helping. You have an easier travel experience and make your travel adventure, more enjoyable.💕😊 I truly appreciate you watching and giving me your feedback and letting me know that these things are working for you! I’m always looking for new ideas, so stay tuned! 😊
We travel often and I’ve learned a few new toiletry tips here, so thank you! Another tip is a solid perfume or /fragrance ‘stick’, to avoid filling atomizers with liquid perfume. I haven’t used a solid perfume for awhile and wish more brands could offer this option, especially in this era of weight sensitive travel.
Thank you so much! Although I travel quite a bit during the year, all of these hacks are good for anybody who travels and actually a lot of times reading through the comments there are some season travelers that provide some really good hacks themselves! It’s wonderful to be a part of a community where everybody shares things💕😊
@@darkbrownquti everything should be linked in the video description and there’s also a link to my Amazon storefront, which has all the products in the video😊
Isn't it wild that interior designers for hotels & airbnbs NEVER put enough hooks or mirrors!? It's just so interesting to me. Like they themselves have never traveled...
Agree! It blows my mind. Every time I travel how few hooks there are, when in traveling, that’s what you need the most in your room.! I guess a lot of people will just hang things on hangers but if you have a couple of people in a room you need to hang up towels and I don’t like throwing them over the shower door or the shower curtain. Or if you brought a robe or pajamas, you just want to hang up…🤷♀️
Hooks on doors are generally not desired by hotels as they make the door drop. Hooks on walls are better, but often incomes down to cost. Like that extra olive on the airline salad...it's all about cost saving
Great swaps . I soak liquid sunblock in wipes when I know I will need a lot in a sun climate. Mosquito spray also on soaked wipes . I also cut my fav soaps, body , acne bar,and face soaps in 1/3 - just enough to last for a 7-10 day trip and put in a single soap case. That mood light is a great item on your Amazon store . I’ve also run into walls when getting up at night. A motion night light also works well on route to a hotel bathroom.
Thank you so much and thank you for sharing those hacks of yours with us! I just love it when people have some great ideas to share! I used to keep one of those motion sensor nightlight in the bathroom, but sometimes the bathrooms around the corner and it doesn’t turn on until I got into the bathroom and I’ve run into walls too many times trying to get there😂🤣
I recently found a small solid soap bar for body and hair shampoo, which is a game changer. It says with Olive oil made in Greece. Lasts forever - def 2-3 weeks. I keep all my skin care and toiletries to an absolute minimum.
Great video as always! I have sensitive skin so I have to carry alot of personal care items. I transfer them into 1oz squeeze tubes. Works great and saves alot of room. Usually lasts me 2 weeks. I got the tubes off shein. Another note- i have to carry flip flops for hotel stays. Cant stand bare feet on hotel carpet.
@Avery12556 - For about 20 years now, I've had flip flops in my carry-on for hotel or cruise ship floors. They take up almost no room, and they do double duty for the pool and the beach, too. Also have a pair of soft ballet style cloth slippers, too, which I use on a long flight. Sometimes you just don't feel like wearing shoes the whole time on the plane. I can easily hand wash them (with my non-liquid laundry sheets) when I get to my destination, and they dry fairly quickly.
Hey Eunice, I’m glad you uploaded today. The “weird” things you carry are very clever items. I appreciate all your tips and tricks. Wishing you a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving. ❤🙏🏼
I literally have been working on this the past two days! A lotion bar I love is the Kate McLeod sleep stone. They have it in a travel size and it smells amazing and after you get out of the shower, the bar turns into a wonderful oil on the skin. Also, Viori makes a shampoo and conditioner bar and the Hidden Waterfall smells amazing and lathers well. Thanks for all you do.
So is the lotion by Kate McLeod a soap? Definitely am interested in both of those items, so I’m gonna have to look them up.! Thank you so much for sharing those with us💕😊
Sorry I didn't see this until today. It is a soap. I bought the travel size on Sephora as well as the shampoo and conditioner bars in the travel size. @@TheoryofSimple
The glow in the dark light is cool. I’ve actually been using 2 of the Goal Zero crush lights that you showed in one of your emergency bag videos. Since they collapse down almost flat they don’t take much room. I use them on “low” as a nightlight and they provide a nice soft light. Thanks for all your videos!
I love those crush lights! I usually bring BOTH on a trip. The crush light gives off more light if I want to wind down or crochet. The glow light is on so night😊💕
I've just started to reduce the liquids recently. Quite a few of the vloggers are showing the shampoo and conditioner bars. I'm also bringing the fold up, but plastic, hangers which are awesome for swimsuits. Also looking into the toothpaste tablets. Lot of good advice here and I like the way that we're starting to change our thinking on liquids. Just got my global pass a couple weeks ago, but I still want to eliminate as much liquid as possible. Thank you so much for your videos!❤
I’ve never even considered using shampoo, conditioner, and soap bars until now. And I didn’t even know that stick sunscreen existed. I’m traveling to Europe in September and will definitely use some of these tips! That bag is a must, I’m gonna be in shared bathrooms for the majority of my trip
I’m so glad you got some great ideas for your September trip to Europe! Shared bathrooms are always a challenge. I’d like to keep everything in my little toiletries bag and sometimes I will take a fold up little grocery bag to the bathroom with me so I can put my towel and flip-flops and everything all in one thing and then clean up and then put my clothes back into the bag when I need to go back to my room. 😊
Your videos are so handy and I've used many of your tips. Thank you for another great video. I have started using airless pump bottles that are 5-10ml for some of my liquids. I also switched to solid shampoo and conditioner but put them in the matador bags because they don't get gross and dry out even when I have to pack them immediately after use. Hero clips are also a handy hook to use to! And I love my Tripped toiletries bag!
I don’t travel a lot - but you have just made it so exciting to pack- I may just have to come up with a trip just so I can try some of these ideas! The glow in the dark nightlight is genius…I have found that trying to pack a usable one can be cumbersome and bulky!
I realize it is 13 years old but really would appreciate the brand name if not a link. I cannot find it on your Amazon storefront. The flat pack night light which is charged by light is brilliant
@@imaudm if you use the link in the video description, it will take you right to the page where that is located and the very first product you see is that glow pack😊
Yes, some of the products are brand names but I’ve tried some of the dupes and I ended up with my face breaking out and stuff, so I just wanted to be sure that I was recommending something that I know has been well tested😊
I am a prepper freak and love to have things in my go bag or hiking bag that are light. Heading to cancun and what great tips these are. That Paqlite scout pack is a MUST have imo. Love your videos.
Thank you so so much and I’m so glad you’re getting some great hacks for your prepper travel essentials! I’m a bit of a pepper too, and I like to be prepared for anything! 💕😊
Absolutely love these ideas. Solids are the way of the future. Still need my own shampoo. Last year going to France and Vietnam didn’t need to show my liquids bag or iPad. Better scans now. As a seasoned traveller I’m still always learning from you. 👏🇦🇺
lotion is a must for me so I bring along a lotion bar, I do bar soap that is travel sized and so if there is any left at the end of my trip I can leave it behind or throw it out and that is one less thing to bring. I also have single use hand sanitizers that are tiny and fit in a pocket or purse. as far as tooth care goes I like wisps they don't count for liquid even thought hey have the toothpaste right on them, i have a solid sunscreen as well. and i carry wet naps for hand washing if I am not near a sink. None of this counts as liquid either.
I carry a lot of the same things! Especially I have a hospital go bag that I keep using in case I’m at a hospital overnight with my parents or something. I found some neat toothbrushes that have toothpaste on them that are better than the whisks so I’ll do a video on that soon.😊💕
Thank you so much! We do carry that little usb fan you recommended a long while back. Daughters took it on a med cruise. Now, we have to get a new one for us.
Thank you so much ! I’m so glad these hacks are helping you and your family out during your travel adventures ! Speaking of fans, There’s a new one that I’m using that is a fan and a flashlight and a battery charger. you’ll find it on my Amazon storefront. It’s white and what I like about it. It’s ultra small so it fits even in a smaller purse.💕😊
The idea of soaking your favourite toner/ lotion/ make up remover in cotton squares or sheets in air tight containers was brilliant !! 👏 I usually bring Neutrogena make up removers in pods w me on travels ! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
I love your channel! I recently subscribed and am binge watching your videos that I find extremely helpful and so thorough and detail oriented which really appeals to me. I’m going to travel for the first time without checking two bags like I usually do. I’m challenging myself to become more minimalistic in my packing and you’re giving me all the help I need. I’ll keep watching what you post and catch up. :-) Wishing you more safe and happy traveling.😊❤
Aww! Thank you! Welcome to my channel! We have such a great community here and welcome you! I’m so happy you are getting some great hacks from my videos!💕😊 Looking forward to bringing you more!
Those over door hooks are so useful. So many places don’t provide them. I always carry a tiny torch to light my way from bed to loo! I love totally dark rooms.
I never travel without an over the door hook! It’s coming useful so many times! I love sleeping in the dark as well, but when I’m in an unfamiliar place, I hate walking into the wall🤣😂
@@TheoryofSimple- I'm sorry for laughing, but it struck me funny when you said you don't like walking into the wall in a unfamiliar place, because my first thought was - 'is it okay to walk into a wall if it's in a familiar place, then?' 😅 Sorry, sometimes my mind just goes in a strange direction all on its own.
I buy the eco-refills for powder makeup, as I prefer my makeup in this form. So I have a little oblong compact with a mirror, and the metal pans of eyeshadow, eyeliner, blusher, highlighter, bronzer and face powder. It takes up very little space.
Yes! As long as their airtight they hold that scent in really nicely! And the other plus about that is if it dries out, it still smells pretty good and you can put it in your purse or something💕😊
Native mini deodorants are really small and pack pretty well. They are smaller than the sunscreen sticks ypu showed. The Creme shop has some multi-balms that are nice as solid moisturizers depending on your focus. I have the aqua cure hydration one. I think they are an inch or less in diameter. Fourth ray beauty has some solid serums as well.
First time I've seen your video and it was fantastic! So very many great liquid substitutions. You mentioned your stick moisturizer and that it was in your amazon store. I looked and am confused. Can you please just tell me the name of it?
@@AlaskaSnowQueen thank you so much and I’m so happy to have you as a new subscriber to my channel💕😊 I’m looking forward to your feedback on my other videos💕😊
Thanks for this. I really like the bar shampoo and conditioner idea. I didn’t know tripped has a toiletries bag, I will order one. I have their compression packing cubes and love them. Going to Europe for a month with carry on, so I really appreciate the ideas you shared!
I am allergic to most soaps, but I found a nice handmade soap from a small company that I just love. It comes in a bar, so I figured out that I can fit a bar of my favorite soap into the very smallest size Stashers bag. It is perfect. I can actually use that bar for bodywash, shampoo, and hand washing some laundry if I need to. I also use a bar facial cleanser and I have cut some smaller pieces of those bars with a bread knife and then I can actually fit my soap, face bar, and bar shampoo and bar conditioner all inside the little Stasher bag. They’re different colors and I don’t mind if they touch. A contact lens case can hold enough facial moisturizer cream and face serum cream for a few days. I don’t use the toothpaste tablets enough to be worth spending the extra money on, so I just make my own by squeezing little bits of toothpaste onto parchment paper and then popping them into the oven on warm, or the dehydrator works great too if you have one. I don’t fly very often, usually driving, but I don’t want to bring a huge bag when I’m staying at a friend’s house, so I usually pack in one of the airplane backpack carryon, so I do like to keep things as small and tidy as possible.
Thank you so much! Those little glow lights are such a great thing to have! It’s like having a perpetual nightlight that you never have to charge a replace the batteries😊💕
I have used tinted moisturizer instead of make up on extended trips. Contact lens cases that screw closed are great for liquids/creams and do not leak. I also use sunscreen that comes in a tube with a make up style brush. A couple of flicks and you have good coverage on your face.
@@leahallen2984 the contact lens cases work great and I’ve used them when I’m only going for a week but if I’m staying for someplace longer, I really need more product. What is the brand of the sunscreen that you’re using that has the built-in brush?
@@TheoryofSimpleI’ve always traveled with my creams and paste outside my liquids bag an no one ever asked. I think as long as you decant them and not in big containers, same with folding scissors and small cutter. I think that blades have to be a certain length for them to ban it. My sharps are about an inch long or less. I also use contacts lens’s container for my face creams, one side for day and the other for night cream. When fully filled, it lasts me five days or so and yes I leave it out of my liquids bag and no one ever asked. I always learn something from your vlogs, thank you.
@@marialu2722 thank you so much and yes, I travel the same way and I’ve never been asked about those things however I do know some airports are getting more strict😊
@@JennyLouRN thank you and welcome to my channel! It sounds like we are a lot alike! I hope you get great hacks for my videos and would love to get your feedback on them💕😊
That illuminated thingy! I stayed in one place, recently, it’s was so dark at night! The lamp was too bright, and a reach to get it. I had to stretch and feel around for my phone. This is great! That you!
@@lesliegarcia2873 it’s a UV pack light and you can find the link in the video description. I have a link to my Amazon storefront and when you click on that link, it’ll be the very first thing you see.💕
Are you sure that all those stick products count as solids everywhere? They can be "smeared," which is one criteria for liquids. I don't recall which airport considers stick deodorant a liquid, but I saw that somewhere. Anyway, your vids are addictive. Love how you pack so many essentials in the tightest bags. I took a kit you would be proud of on my last trip. My son poopooed it saying I was traveling like an old lady... But every single person on that trip (we were six), including him, benefited from it!
Thank you so so much and I’m so happy these videos are helping you become a MacGyver Packer!🤣😊 and I agree with you everybody poo poo when you pack that stuff but I learned on my last trip there were a couple things things I had in my purse, and the person that was with me was really glad I had them! Regarding the products, like I said, that’s why I keep everything in a quart size bag, because every TSA agent is different💕😊
@@tamarasparks8065 if you look on the TSA website, you can plug-in whatever you want to find out what the TSA says about it. I have traveled with these for years and I’ve never had a problem.
This was a great video. You also have a pleasant smooth voice that is very relaxing and helps my anxiety. Your tips are great.. I would like to travel with a multi-tool but I will be traveling soon with carry on only.. I’m trying to think what I could use instead if I needed to unscrew a hanger or battery flashlight-(I may have to bring a different one)- all other tips are great! I never thought of bringing precut floss and more! Thank you and keep those videos coming!
@@dny3260 thank you so very much and I truly appreciate your feedback🙏😊 I do carry a multitool with me on every travel adventure and it’s one that does not have a knife, so it is approved to go through airport security. I have mentioned this and shown several of my other videos if you’d like a link to the multitool that I carry, let me know and I’ll get it to you. I will tell you if you are going to carry any sort of tool that make sure you have it on the outside of your bag so that it’s easy for the scanner to see and also note that every TSA agent is different and it could be Conf skated, even though it does not have a knife so if you are in a region, that’s very strict I wouldn’t carry it because they could confiscate it.
@@TheoryofSimple hi. Yea, please..i pull like to see the video/link. I once had to purchase a carry on just for bringing a multi knife tool for emergency purposes. I was so mad. Boyfriend was so upset also. Thank you.
Thank you so so much ! I also have those Matador soap packs, Those are great soap, keepers! I find that they’re just too big for those little tiny shampoo and conditioner bars. I guess I could keep all three bars in it but then I’d be fishing around each time trying to make sure I got the right colored bar out.😂
I have lived outside my home country on/off since the 80s. A crystal type deodorant lasts a long time, travels well and I keep in a small plastic bag. I have a full sized one that has lasted ten years. I use small powdered, cream cosmetics, they are in containers about the size of a US quarter and last years. Lotion I just take a travel size of have been able to find the one I use at a drugstore or grocery when I arrive. Since the quart sized bag system came around I have used a clear bag that closes with a zipper, bonus is that is is about 2" wide and stands on the counter. I make my own bug spray and bring a container of it or just plan to cover up, every place I have been sells travel sized if I needed. I have bar shampoo/conditioner from Lush or Chagrin Valley Soaps. I really don't have many things that are liquids to be concerned about. Like the metal hanger. Some place will not allow that in carry on. A recent we have gotten is Grip6 belt, has a TSA safe buckle.
I am finally traveling home for the holidays after 3.5 years over across the Atlantic. Your videos have been a favorite of mine for the past few years hoping I would be making the trip soon.
Yay!💕😊 i’m so happy for you and what a perfect time of year to be with your friends and family! Happy that my videos are helping you prepare for this trip! Wishing you a wonderful holiday with your family!💕
I use baking soda to brush my teeth. It can also be used for an abrasive cleaner to get marks off of things and even an emergency antacid!! I also backpack and tend to like multi use items
@@LynnScheele-dz2sm baking soda has so many great uses and it’s also useful to use the paste to help remove stingers from bees and to help soothe bug bites😊💕
They re really strict in Uk and Europe spent about 45 mins going through my personal item, said had lot of elecs!but didnt have anymore or less than usual! I always ask bfore pass through London checkin re my meds Have cut makeup down and usually put mascara lipstick as liquids. Take tiny travel size soap and gel in addition to toothpaste powder, solid shampoo cond bars solid anti perspirant etc and finally put any meds in a 2nd clear bag. They say they re stopping liquid rule but when dont know.
Thank you for sharing! All these comments help us that are traveling soon! Even if they remove that liquids rule, I think most of us are still trying to carry very little things with us because they require us to have such small carry-on and lightweight as well!
I know this is an older post but- I bring EZGO teeth cleaning wipes for the plane. They fit on your finger and you just brush back and forth. No need to go to the restroom. They really freshen your mouth up. And I agree 100% about the lack of hooks. I bought some hooks similar to your first ones and-they don’t fit! I’ll be getting some of your newer finds. It is also a pain that more and more hotels are using glass barn doors for the bathrooms. The hooks can’t go on those on the inside of the bathroom.
@@LiLi-ps5vb lovely idea about the finger wipes for your teeth! It’s always good to have something to freshen up with, especially after you’ve been flying dry air! Thank you so much for sharing😊
Hi Eunice I have learned so much from you the last few years. thanks. I could not find the flat nite light item you showed at the end of the video. Could you please give me the link so I could buy it ? Thank You
@@ElizabethAnn-i3v yes, and when I don’t have the big flat one with me, I take a couple of the little ones that are slim that can hang on the door knob if I don’t want as much light😊
Yes! I love that stick because it all allows me to put extra moisture where I need it! And yes, the support of education for girls is a tremendous bonus💕😊
Another great video, thank you! I have a long haul flight to Austin (Texas) from London in April and always looking at different ways to pack and what to actually pack. I'm planning to take carry-on luggage only this time (for the first time on a long haul flight!). I'm only staying for five days so it SHOULD be easy to pack light .... right? :D
Thank you so much and I’m so glad you’re getting some great hacks from my videos. I say it’s always possible to pack carry-on only even for longer days however, everyone needs her different.. for example, if you have to bring a lot of medication or something that may take up a lot of room in your luggage. However, that being said, if you are strategic about what you wear on the plane and put a capsule wardrobe together in your personal carry-on and carry-on luggage, you can get away with carry-on luggage for any trip.. especially for a five day trip. It should be pretty easy to pack Kahn only.💕😊
I am very lucky in not needing any medication (other than the usual just-in-case tablets for headache etc) and I don't wear make-up. My toiletries can be minimal. I'll probably bring some hand cream and another moisturiser of some sort. I should be able to pack light and luckily for this trip I know I don't need any fancy clothes, all very casual meetups. Really looking forward to this trip. :)
This is a great video. I just followed your Amazon page. Even with TSA Pre you have to be careful. Some airports still check liquid bags. The sunscreen stick for the body would not be enough for me. I guess you could purchase more at your destination.
Thank you so much and yes every airport is different. For example if you go to Lubbock Texas, they don’t have a TSA pre-check line but they do give you a card so that you get waived for having to take out your computer and your shoes and your liquids bag.. but if you’re traveling out of the country, you always want to be sure that you have some sort of clear bag with you just in case they decide that any of the things that I show you here are considered a “liquid”. Regarding what I pack yes unless it’s something that’s prescription or that I really can’t get overseas. I only bring enough to get me through for a few days a week and then I can always purchase more when I’m at my destination.😊
Great liquid replacement ideas! I try to travel just with a carryon so I’m always looking for ways to minimize. One thing I am planning to do to save space, is removed the antiperspirant from its bulky plastic package and carrying it in a smaller container. The only makeup I use is mascara - is there a non-liquid form of that? Also, you could label those little bags for shampoo and so on with a sharpie.
Thank you! Regarding the mascara, they used to make a powdered form that you just added water to but I’m not sure if they still make it. Regarding the antiperspirant, I do find that those little pads that I bring work really well so if it’s something you want to try out to see if it work for you that way you don’t have to carry as much but if you are going for a long period of time, it’s better to take that solid anti-perspirant.😊💕
They make cake mascara, I know Besame cosmetics has one that's a little square in a tin & you get it damp & use a brush to apply it. They give you a brush but I would get a plain spoolie brush to use. There are probably other brands that do too, try looking at sustainable brands I find they are sometimes more likely to have a powder or bar version of things.
@@cs4849 I don't think so? The brush besame gives I feel like doesn't work well which may be a skill issue on my part but with a spoolie it's basically the same you just coat it & apply.
Your video showing the small Clinique facial bar made me look for my favorite cleanser in a bar form. I found a large one and had my husband cut a small sliver with his radial arm saw 😂 Edit to add: I love the glowing nightlight! My husband and I used to use snap glow sticks (single use!) on our truck door when we’d go camping. I was always afraid we have to run from an animal and not be able to find the truck 😂 Never happened btw 😅
Regarding that clinic facial bar, I’ve had that for a long time and I only use it when I travel because I can’t find that small size anymore so I bought the larger one and cut it in the third. Regarding that glowing nightlight thing the best part about it is this reusable and I don’t have to worry about having some One youth plastic thing. It really is worth the money if you can get one and just keep it even in your emergency kit.!
Not only is it tough to travel internationally when they make you use the dreaded ziploc (looking at London Heathrow), but when you have super sensitive, acne-prone skin or really finicky hair like I do, then there are certain liquids and essentials I just can't seem to give up. Solid cleansing bars are too harsh, stick SPF causes breakouts, and solid shampoos dry my scalp. 🙃 I'm so nervous for my upcoming trip, but determined to pack carry-on only. Your video has some great advice, it was the first video to really address the liquid issue. So many people packing carry-on only are way way overpacking their liquids and I know that won't fly (literally) in Germany this summer.
I recently diagnosed with rosacea and now have to take a liquid face soap and serum to keep it in check. I will carry as much as I can as a solid but now have to take some liquids.
@@dorcasowens8521 not all products are available in all countries and some of them are expensive so I don’t necessarily want to be spending money buying new product when I have it with me😊

@@TheoryofSimple, I was thinking I could just buy new when I reached our first European country and sighed a breath of relief. Then I realized that trick won’t work since we fly to several more countries and would need to throw away at the end of the week what I had purchased. I love all the swaps you have made! And the tooth brush hack for your nails is genius! I’m always fussy about my nails and it is hard to find small nail brushes, this is the best hack I’ve learned from all (so many) the videos I have watched. Thank you!!!
I still have my TSA bag in my suitcase and 9 times out of 10, TSA never even looks at it. And since I have started checking my bag instead of carrying it on, it's not a problem anymore. 🤷♀️
LUSH solid everything! Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, it smells incredible and it safe to eat! (Please note: use the products, do not consume. We'll, that's my just advice.)
@@UniqueD22 all of these products are available on my Amazon storefront, and you can check out that link in the video description and it will take you there to be able to browse all of the things that I have tried and used on my travel adventures😊
My family has allergies so we can’t use most hotel toiletries and it’s hard to find “safe” sticks etc. I pack moisturizer in contact container. (Small. Don’t need a ton.). Same with conditioner. Pack as much as possible in small containers.
Absolutely agree and I have done several videos on how I pack an ultras small toiletry bag is in contact lens containers for everything from moisturizers to make up and it gets me through a week💕😊
@@TheoryofSimple are the contact lense containers you use connected to one another? I swear, when I used to buy them for this purpose years ago I could find individual right and left ones.
@@jow.2450 great question and these are connected so there is a left and the right lens. And sometimes the lens cases are different color, but they’re at least it usually marked with an L or an R. I have not seen the little individual contact lens cases in years. However, they do make some really small containers now that you can find on Amazon if you want things to be in separate containers.😊
If your sitting in the bulk head remember that those passengers need to put their carry on and their personal item bag in the overhead as they do not have a seat in front of them to stow a bag…
I've been sitting at the bulk head a few times recently. It was a 738. There were openings on the floor under first class seats to store carry on bag. Was surprised! I'm retired flight attendant also.
@@farrukhpatel4930 my pleasure! I have been in the several times that I keep saying I’m going to do a video about traveling to India. it’s a fascinating country and I hope you have a wonderful time there! 💕😊🙏🇮🇳
@@TheoryofSimple oh thank you so much. I haven't been back for 8 years cannot wait. Please do a video for india . It'll be interesting. Keep posting. Look Forward to catching up on your other videos. I'll be using some of your hacks. This has opened up a new world 🌎 for me! Thanks again xxx
Great hacks. I never max out my liquids bag, most of my liquids allowance is devoted to contact lens care. No solid alternative to that, alas. I don't carry liquid makeup, I wear very little, just a light brush of bronzing powder, blush, and eye shadow. I carry a small bottle of wilderness wash, which I can use for shampoo, laundry soap, and washing my cook mug and utensils in my hotel room.
Yeah, no solid alternatives to contract lens solution 🤷♀️ love wilderness wash! You can see in the video In my first bag that I carry the WW soap leaves. So handy! 💕😊
Wow! Thank you so much for this information. I am definitely going to hunt for sticks especially mostizering stick and Vitamin C stick. It’s good to know they don’t have to be in liquid bag.
Thank you so much ! That moisturizer stick is awesome I love that I can also curate with me so if I get dry during the day, it’s nice to slip into my purse.💕😊
@@LatinEarthAngel every bag I show in that video is part of the Tripped toiletries bag😊 both of those clear bags, the one that I snap on the bottom, and the one I show you with the handle are all part of the same toiletries bag😊
Best thing I travel with are bar shampoo and conditioner. It amazes me how many things you have that I also have in my bag. We need to travel together. 😂 I always carry the dry soap papers that you just add water to. As well as spray hand sanitizer
@@happyfamily1298 I like the ones that are in my Amazon storefront. I’m always looking for a new brands as well and as soon as I find something I absolutely love I’ll bring it to you! Of course everybody’s preference and toiletries is different but I find that some of these bar soaps leave my hair feeling a little funny. Especially the ones that are meant for your whole body and your hair.😊

It does my heart good to learn of your blue painter's tape to prevent scraping damage from your hooks. Such a little thing, but if everyone thought a tiny bit about preventing damage, it would help the world tip to the "good" side.
Thank you and I always try to think of what it would be like if I owned a place and what I would want someone to do. I actually owned two Airbnb’s for several years, and I was surprised how people just trashed things and took things. That was one of the reasons why I got out of it. But yes, we need more good in this world and I’m happy to do my part💕😊🙏
I saw a tip about taking a small glow stick on the plane, so that if you’re going to the bathroom at night it’s easy to find your seat when you come back. Hang it to the tray table. I thought that it was a great idea.
@@rosella1919 yeah…. That was me😊
Brilliant. Absolute BEST packing hack video I have seen. The products you use are all practical and great replacements for liquids. Smart traveler.
Thank you so much! It’s taken many decades of traveling to start to really get it down and just as I start to the airlines are making changes for us to travel, lighter and smaller, so I’ve got to keep evolving😂💕😊
Stick moisturizer what a genius idea! You're channel has been invaluable for the thought process of what i carry, why and how. You've upped my game.
I am so happy that these travel hacks are helping. You have an easier travel experience and make your travel adventure, more enjoyable.💕😊 I truly appreciate you watching and giving me your feedback and letting me know that these things are working for you! I’m always looking for new ideas, so stay tuned! 😊
We travel often and I’ve learned a few new toiletry tips here, so thank you! Another tip is a solid perfume or /fragrance ‘stick’, to avoid filling atomizers with liquid perfume. I haven’t used a solid perfume for awhile and wish more brands could offer this option, especially in this era of weight sensitive travel.
I used to wear a sold perfume. I don’t wear fragrance any more. I agree, wish there was more solid fragrance variety😊
Please , no perfumes - anywhere in public! Many many are allergic and your lovely perfumes do make others ill.
buy tiny container of vaseline and spray your perfume inand mix and apply
I’m an occasional traveler(1-2/year) and I really love your hacks! Hard core travelers must be loving this even more! Looking forward to more!🙏
Thank you so much! Although I travel quite a bit during the year, all of these hacks are good for anybody who travels and actually a lot of times reading through the comments there are some season travelers that provide some really good hacks themselves! It’s wonderful to be a part of a community where everybody shares things💕😊
That glow bag is a genius hack! Thank you so much for these tips and ideas. So well thought out.
Thank you so much and I am so happy that you got some great tips and ideas from my video💕😊
Hi thank you for your tips. Can you share where to get the glow bag.
@@darkbrownquti everything should be linked in the video description and there’s also a link to my Amazon storefront, which has all the products in the video😊
Isn't it wild that interior designers for hotels & airbnbs NEVER put enough hooks or mirrors!? It's just so interesting to me. Like they themselves have never traveled...
Agree! It blows my mind. Every time I travel how few hooks there are, when in traveling, that’s what you need the most in your room.! I guess a lot of people will just hang things on hangers but if you have a couple of people in a room you need to hang up towels and I don’t like throwing them over the shower door or the shower curtain. Or if you brought a robe or pajamas, you just want to hang up…🤷♀️
Designers are at the mercy of what the hotels/airbnbs want land/or will allow.
Hooks on doors are generally not desired by hotels as they make the door drop. Hooks on walls are better, but often incomes down to cost. Like that extra olive on the airline salad...it's all about cost saving
You said it- so frustrating! I stopped using hanging toiletry bags because there were no hooks…
You have the most amazing "weird stuff" I've ever seen! Thanks again, Eunice for your awesome content!
😂 thank you so much, Jane! I love finding and sharing new things that I find with you guys💕😊
Great swaps . I soak liquid sunblock in wipes when I know I will need a lot in a sun climate. Mosquito spray also on soaked wipes . I also cut my fav soaps, body , acne bar,and face soaps in 1/3 - just enough to last for a 7-10 day trip and put in a single soap case. That mood light is a great item on your Amazon store . I’ve also run into walls when getting up at night. A motion night light also works well on route to a hotel bathroom.
Thank you so much and thank you for sharing those hacks of yours with us! I just love it when people have some great ideas to share! I used to keep one of those motion sensor nightlight in the bathroom, but sometimes the bathrooms around the corner and it doesn’t turn on until I got into the bathroom and I’ve run into walls too many times trying to get there😂🤣
I use wipes, too! It's my go-to for all liquid swaps. 👍
I recently found a small solid soap bar for body and hair shampoo, which is a game changer. It says with Olive oil made in Greece. Lasts forever - def 2-3 weeks. I keep all my skin care and toiletries to an absolute minimum.
@@elizabethglenbentley7882 sounds wonderful! I had a bar like that but my hair felt weird. I would love to find a solid bar that does everything😊
This is genius!
Great video as always! I have sensitive skin so I have to carry alot of personal care items. I transfer them into 1oz squeeze tubes. Works great and saves alot of room. Usually lasts me 2 weeks. I got the tubes off shein.
Another note- i have to carry flip flops for hotel stays. Cant stand bare feet on hotel carpet.
I always wear flip flops or slipper in my hotel room! Got a planters wart once and that was horrible!
Same
@Avery12556 - For about 20 years now, I've had flip flops in my carry-on for hotel or cruise ship floors. They take up almost no room, and they do double duty for the pool and the beach, too. Also have a pair of soft ballet style cloth slippers, too, which I use on a long flight. Sometimes you just don't feel like wearing shoes the whole time on the plane. I can easily hand wash them (with my non-liquid laundry sheets) when I get to my destination, and they dry fairly quickly.
I love your lamp! The liquids restrictions are a pain. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you! There is a link for that lamp in the video description😊
Hey Eunice, I’m glad you uploaded today. The “weird” things you carry are very clever items. I appreciate all your tips and tricks. Wishing you a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving. ❤🙏🏼
Hey , Noemi! Thanks! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving break! 🦃🍗
IKR I always think of hooks when I’m traveling. I’ve been looking for some good ones to travel with.
@@morgank98 I am so happy I got these! I don’t take up much room, but man are you glad you have them when you are looking for a hook! 😊
Prepping for Europe trip. Thank you. Brilliant!
Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful trip to Europe!😊💕
I literally have been working on this the past two days! A lotion bar I love is the Kate McLeod sleep stone. They have it in a travel size and it smells amazing and after you get out of the shower, the bar turns into a wonderful oil on the skin. Also, Viori makes a shampoo and conditioner bar and the Hidden Waterfall smells amazing and lathers well. Thanks for all you do.
So is the lotion by Kate McLeod a soap? Definitely am interested in both of those items, so I’m gonna have to look them up.! Thank you so much for sharing those with us💕😊
@@TheoryofSimpleThe Kate McLeod is a solid moisturizer that Sephora carries. Lush also has solid moisturizer and cleanser bars that I cut for travel.
@@erw thank you so much for sharing! I’ll have to take a look at those🙏💕😊
Sorry I didn't see this until today. It is a soap. I bought the travel size on Sephora as well as the shampoo and conditioner bars in the travel size. @@TheoryofSimple
@@lorideming7237 thank you! 🙏
The glow in the dark light is cool. I’ve actually been using 2 of the Goal Zero crush lights that you showed in one of your emergency bag videos. Since they collapse down almost flat they don’t take much room. I use them on “low” as a nightlight and they provide a nice soft light. Thanks for all your videos!
I love those crush lights! I usually bring BOTH on a trip. The crush light gives off more light if I want to wind down or crochet. The glow light is on so night😊💕
I agree, almost like a nightlight especially in unfamiliar accommodation.
So many great ideas! Thank you for sharing. I especially like that fold up hanger and nightlight.
Thank you! They are something I bring on every trip!😊
I've just started to reduce the liquids recently. Quite a few of the vloggers are showing the shampoo and conditioner bars. I'm also bringing the fold up, but plastic, hangers which are awesome for swimsuits. Also looking into the toothpaste tablets. Lot of good advice here and I like the way that we're starting to change our thinking on liquids. Just got my global pass a couple weeks ago, but I still want to eliminate as much liquid as possible. Thank you so much for your videos!❤
You are very welcome😊 I’m really happy that a lot of these brands are starting to make solid versions of things to make our travel life easier🙏
I’ve never even considered using shampoo, conditioner, and soap bars until now. And I didn’t even know that stick sunscreen existed. I’m traveling to Europe in September and will definitely use some of these tips! That bag is a must, I’m gonna be in shared bathrooms for the majority of my trip
I’m so glad you got some great ideas for your September trip to Europe! Shared bathrooms are always a challenge. I’d like to keep everything in my little toiletries bag and sometimes I will take a fold up little grocery bag to the bathroom with me so I can put my towel and flip-flops and everything all in one thing and then clean up and then put my clothes back into the bag when I need to go back to my room. 😊
This video was absolutely amazing 🤩 you have thought of everything. The glow light is super nifty!
Thank you so much! I always like being prepared for anything💕😊
They do make solid sticks for aquaphor now. ❤ I just bought some for my daughters Christmas stockings
Yes! I ❤️ this stick! I use it all over my body!
Your videos are so handy and I've used many of your tips. Thank you for another great video.
I have started using airless pump bottles that are 5-10ml for some of my liquids. I also switched to solid shampoo and conditioner but put them in the matador bags because they don't get gross and dry out even when I have to pack them immediately after use. Hero clips are also a handy hook to use to! And I love my Tripped toiletries bag!
Thank you! Hero Clips are my travel MUST haves! I need to try those airless pump bottles! 😊 thank you for sharing 💕😊
I don’t travel a lot - but you have just made it so exciting to pack- I may just have to come up with a trip just so I can try some of these ideas! The glow in the dark nightlight is genius…I have found that trying to pack a usable one can be cumbersome and bulky!
Thank you! I am happy to be an inspiration and hope you do get to doing some travel again soon!💕😊
I realize it is 13 years old but really would appreciate the brand name if not a link. I cannot find it on your Amazon storefront. The flat pack night light which is charged by light is brilliant
@@imaudm if you use the link in the video description, it will take you right to the page where that is located and the very first product you see is that glow pack😊
I love this video. This is what I’ve been looking for! Only thing is I wish the products had dupes or something cause they look a bit pricey. Thanks!
Yes, some of the products are brand names but I’ve tried some of the dupes and I ended up with my face breaking out and stuff, so I just wanted to be sure that I was recommending something that I know has been well tested😊
I am a prepper freak and love to have things in my go bag or hiking bag that are light. Heading to cancun and what great tips these are. That Paqlite scout pack is a MUST have imo. Love your videos.
Thank you so so much and I’m so glad you’re getting some great hacks for your prepper travel essentials! I’m a bit of a pepper too, and I like to be prepared for anything! 💕😊
Absolutely love these ideas. Solids are the way of the future. Still need my own shampoo. Last year going to France and Vietnam didn’t need to show my liquids bag or iPad. Better scans now. As a seasoned traveller I’m still always learning from you. 👏🇦🇺
Thank you! The new scanners are wonderful! Makes the TSA line go faster!😊
I've had Australian, Singapore, and Swiss airports all ask for lipsticks and stick sunscreen s to be put with the liquids
@@julierussell5773 that’s why you always carry a quart size liquids bag just in case😉
lotion is a must for me so I bring along a lotion bar, I do bar soap that is travel sized and so if there is any left at the end of my trip I can leave it behind or throw it out and that is one less thing to bring. I also have single use hand sanitizers that are tiny and fit in a pocket or purse. as far as tooth care goes I like wisps they don't count for liquid even thought hey have the toothpaste right on them, i have a solid sunscreen as well. and i carry wet naps for hand washing if I am not near a sink. None of this counts as liquid either.
I carry a lot of the same things! Especially I have a hospital go bag that I keep using in case I’m at a hospital overnight with my parents or something. I found some neat toothbrushes that have toothpaste on them that are better than the whisks so I’ll do a video on that soon.😊💕
What is a lotion bar?
Colgate makes a tooth powder that is not a liquid or paste. Please brush your teeth at least once a day. Thank you
Thank you so much!
We do carry that little usb fan you recommended a long while back.
Daughters took it on a med cruise. Now, we have to get a new one for us.
Thank you so much ! I’m so glad these hacks are helping you and your family out during your travel adventures ! Speaking of fans, There’s a new one that I’m using that is a fan and a flashlight and a battery charger. you’ll find it on my Amazon storefront. It’s white and what I like about it. It’s ultra small so it fits even in a smaller purse.💕😊
I was so happy when they started making Aquaphor Lip Repair in stick form!
Me too!!🙏😊
The idea of soaking your favourite toner/ lotion/ make up remover in cotton squares or sheets in air tight containers was brilliant !! 👏 I usually bring Neutrogena make up removers in pods w me on travels ! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞

I so appreciate miniature versions of everything. Travel or not.
@@laraoneal7284 thank you and I love those mini versions too even when I’m not traveling💕😊
Those over door hooks are so useful. So many places don’t provide them. I always carry a tiny torch to light my way from bed to loo! I love totally dark rooms.
I never travel without an over the door hook! It’s coming useful so many times! I love sleeping in the dark as well, but when I’m in an unfamiliar place, I hate walking into the wall🤣😂
@@TheoryofSimple- I'm sorry for laughing, but it struck me funny when you said you don't like walking into the wall in a unfamiliar place, because my first thought was - 'is it okay to walk into a wall if it's in a familiar place, then?' 😅
Sorry, sometimes my mind just goes in a strange direction all on its own.
@@TheoryofSimple Love your tips; as I click off another decade (in my 70's now) it's much easier for me to handle lighter bags when I travel.
@@SharonPerson-hm9ds lol! If I have walk into a wall in a familiar place! 😂🤣
@@SharonPerson-hm9ds thank you! Finding solutions that fit us as we age is very important 💕😊
I buy the eco-refills for powder makeup, as I prefer my makeup in this form. So I have a little oblong compact with a mirror, and the metal pans of eyeshadow, eyeliner, blusher, highlighter, bronzer and face powder. It takes up very little space.
Do you mind sharing what brand your powdered foundation is?😊
Sometimes I re-use small jars like eye cream for perfume pads. The main thing is that they seal properly so no leaking
Yes! As long as their airtight they hold that scent in really nicely! And the other plus about that is if it dries out, it still smells pretty good and you can put it in your purse or something💕😊
Native mini deodorants are really small and pack pretty well. They are smaller than the sunscreen sticks ypu showed. The Creme shop has some multi-balms that are nice as solid moisturizers depending on your focus. I have the aqua cure hydration one. I think they are an inch or less in diameter. Fourth ray beauty has some solid serums as well.
Thank you for those recommendations! I will definitely look those up and give them av try! Thank you for sharing💕😊
First time I've seen your video and it was fantastic! So very many great liquid substitutions. You mentioned your stick moisturizer and that it was in your amazon store. I looked and am confused. Can you please just tell me the name of it?

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re getting some great travel tricks from my videos💕😊
I am allergic to most soaps, but I found a nice handmade soap from a small company that I just love. It comes in a bar, so I figured out that I can fit a bar of my favorite soap into the very smallest size Stashers bag. It is perfect. I can actually use that bar for bodywash, shampoo, and hand washing some laundry if I need to. I also use a bar facial cleanser and I have cut some smaller pieces of those bars with a bread knife and then I can actually fit my soap, face bar, and bar shampoo and bar conditioner all inside the little Stasher bag. They’re different colors and I don’t mind if they touch. A contact lens case can hold enough facial moisturizer cream and face serum cream for a few days. I don’t use the toothpaste tablets enough to be worth spending the extra money on, so I just make my own by squeezing little bits of toothpaste onto parchment paper and then popping them into the oven on warm, or the dehydrator works great too if you have one. I don’t fly very often, usually driving, but I don’t want to bring a huge bag when I’m staying at a friend’s house, so I usually pack in one of the airplane backpack carryon, so I do like to keep things as small and tidy as possible.
Great minds think alike! Do you happen to know the name or brand of that soap that you use?😊
The Citrus Salt is my second favorite, and if I have room in my bag, I will often carry a little of both.
Please share the brand of bar soap, and facial bar cleanser that you use❤
@@hb7282 for my face I use Cere ve
@@TheoryofSimple thank you
So many good ideas! I love that light!
Thank you so much! Those little glow lights are such a great thing to have! It’s like having a perpetual nightlight that you never have to charge a replace the batteries😊💕
Those Dr. H lip care stick are the best! I cut out all others for that brand!
Yes! I am loving it! 😍
I have used tinted moisturizer instead of make up on extended trips. Contact lens cases that screw closed are great for liquids/creams and do not leak. I also use sunscreen that comes in a tube with a make up style brush. A couple of flicks and you have good coverage on your face.
@@leahallen2984 the contact lens cases work great and I’ve used them when I’m only going for a week but if I’m staying for someplace longer, I really need more product. What is the brand of the sunscreen that you’re using that has the built-in brush?
Love these tips! Going on a European cruise next year and some of these will come in handy. Thanks!
Perfect for cruising! Good luck in the giveaway!
I loved the things that glow that is genius! Thank you so much everybody needs them
Thank you! 💕😊
You could cut off part of your Aqua stick and store it in one of this small aluminum tins you carry toner in.
I think I’m gonna give that a try! Hopefully they won’t think that’s a cream😊💕
Where do u get the night light thing?
Where so u buy the night light?
@@TheoryofSimpleI’ve always traveled with my creams and paste outside my liquids bag an no one ever asked. I think as long as you decant them and not in big containers, same with folding scissors and small cutter. I think that blades have to be a certain length for them to ban it. My sharps are about an inch long or less. I also use contacts lens’s container for my face creams, one side for day and the other for night cream. When fully filled, it lasts me five days or so and yes I leave it out of my liquids bag and no one ever asked. I always learn something from your vlogs, thank you.
@@marialu2722 thank you so much and yes, I travel the same way and I’ve never been asked about those things however I do know some airports are getting more strict😊
You are so clever and cute! I have always carried a mini toiletry bag in my personal item bag. I love all your clever finds. New subscriber.
@@JennyLouRN thank you and welcome to my channel! It sounds like we are a lot alike! I hope you get great hacks for my videos and would love to get your feedback on them💕😊
That illuminated thingy! I stayed in one place, recently, it’s was so dark at night! The lamp was too bright, and a reach to get it. I had to stretch and feel around for my phone. This is great! That you!
It’s a game changer! The fact that you never have to charge it and as long as it’s exposed to light works forever is amazing to me! 💕🤣
@@TheoryofSimple Do you know what this thing is called or where we can find them?
@@lesliegarcia2873 it’s a UV pack light and you can find the link in the video description. I have a link to my Amazon storefront and when you click on that link, it’ll be the very first thing you see.💕
I love those hooks, especially with the bedbugs issue.
Yes! The bedbug issue was growing and keeping things off of the floor or other pieces of furniture is critical! 💕😊
Are you sure that all those stick products count as solids everywhere? They can be "smeared," which is one criteria for liquids. I don't recall which airport considers stick deodorant a liquid, but I saw that somewhere.
Anyway, your vids are addictive. Love how you pack so many essentials in the tightest bags. I took a kit you would be proud of on my last trip. My son poopooed it saying I was traveling like an old lady... But every single person on that trip (we were six), including him, benefited from it!
Thank you so so much and I’m so happy these videos are helping you become a MacGyver Packer!🤣😊 and I agree with you everybody poo poo when you pack that stuff but I learned on my last trip there were a couple things things I had in my purse, and the person that was with me was really glad I had them! Regarding the products, like I said, that’s why I keep everything in a quart size bag, because every TSA agent is different💕😊
Gel stick is liquid. The solid opaque stick is not. Makes little sense to me
@@tamarasparks8065 if you look on the TSA website, you can plug-in whatever you want to find out what the TSA says about it. I have traveled with these for years and I’ve never had a problem.

I would like to travel with a multi-tool but I will be traveling soon with carry on only.. I’m trying to think what I could use instead if I needed to unscrew a hanger or battery flashlight-(I may have to bring a different one)- all other tips are great! I never thought of bringing precut floss and more! Thank you and keep those videos coming!
@@dny3260 thank you so very much and I truly appreciate your feedback🙏😊 I do carry a multitool with me on every travel adventure and it’s one that does not have a knife, so it is approved to go through airport security. I have mentioned this and shown several of my other videos if you’d like a link to the multitool that I carry, let me know and I’ll get it to you. I will tell you if you are going to carry any sort of tool that make sure you have it on the outside of your bag so that it’s easy for the scanner to see and also note that every TSA agent is different and it could be Conf skated, even though it does not have a knife so if you are in a region, that’s very strict I wouldn’t carry it because they could confiscate it.
@@TheoryofSimple hi. Yea, please..i pull like to see the video/link. I once had to purchase a carry on just for bringing a multi knife tool for emergency purposes. I was so mad. Boyfriend was so upset also. Thank you.
@@dny3260 here is the link to that multitool! amzn.to/3Bf8f6Q
Great video. I use the matador soap case for shampoo and conditioner, and I love how it keeps the bars from getting gummy
Thank you so so much ! I also have those Matador soap packs, Those are great soap, keepers! I find that they’re just too big for those little tiny shampoo and conditioner bars. I guess I could keep all three bars in it but then I’d be fishing around each time trying to make sure I got the right colored bar out.😂
@@TheoryofSimpleI saw someone use one matador bag them put multiple solid’s products each in soap saver bags so they didn’t get mixed up.
Thank you for making a video with info I can actually use! Thank you very much
You are very welcome and I’m so happy you found this video helpful!💕😊
That UV light is a great idea. I could really do with one. I need to find a UK equivalent though.
I hope you can find one. It is really handy! 😊
I have lived outside my home country on/off since the 80s. A crystal type deodorant lasts a long time, travels well and I keep in a small plastic bag. I have a full sized one that has lasted ten years. I use small powdered, cream cosmetics, they are in containers about the size of a US quarter and last years. Lotion I just take a travel size of have been able to find the one I use at a drugstore or grocery when I arrive. Since the quart sized bag system came around I have used a clear bag that closes with a zipper, bonus is that is is about 2" wide and stands on the counter. I make my own bug spray and bring a container of it or just plan to cover up, every place I have been sells travel sized if I needed. I have bar shampoo/conditioner from Lush or Chagrin Valley Soaps. I really don't have many things that are liquids to be concerned about. Like the metal hanger. Some place will not allow that in carry on. A recent we have gotten is Grip6 belt, has a TSA safe buckle.
That you for sharing! Love getting ideas from other experienced travelers!💕😊
I am finally traveling home for the holidays after 3.5 years over across the Atlantic. Your videos have been a favorite of mine for the past few years hoping I would be making the trip soon.
Yay!💕😊 i’m so happy for you and what a perfect time of year to be with your friends and family! Happy that my videos are helping you prepare for this trip! Wishing you a wonderful holiday with your family!💕
I use baking soda to brush my teeth. It can also be used for an abrasive cleaner to get marks off of things and even an emergency antacid!! I also backpack and tend to like multi use items
@@LynnScheele-dz2sm baking soda has so many great uses and it’s also useful to use the paste to help remove stingers from bees and to help soothe bug bites😊💕
They re really strict in Uk and Europe spent about 45 mins going through my personal item, said had lot of elecs!but didnt have anymore or less than usual! I always ask bfore pass through London checkin re my meds Have cut makeup down and usually put mascara lipstick as liquids. Take tiny travel size soap and gel in addition to toothpaste powder, solid shampoo cond bars solid anti perspirant etc and finally put any meds in a 2nd clear bag. They say they re stopping liquid rule but when dont know.
Thank you for sharing! All these comments help us that are traveling soon! Even if they remove that liquids rule, I think most of us are still trying to carry very little things with us because they require us to have such small carry-on and lightweight as well!
This video is amazing... so many new and original tips I had never seen before, thank you!
Thank you and I truly appreciate your feedback! I’m so glad some of the hacks that I’m using are able to help you and others💕😊
I know this is an older post but- I bring EZGO teeth cleaning wipes for the plane. They fit on your finger and you just brush back and forth. No need to go to the restroom. They really freshen your mouth up. And I agree 100% about the lack of hooks. I bought some hooks similar to your first ones and-they don’t fit! I’ll be getting some of your newer finds. It is also a pain that more and more hotels are using glass barn doors for the bathrooms. The hooks can’t go on those on the inside of the bathroom.
@@LiLi-ps5vb lovely idea about the finger wipes for your teeth! It’s always good to have something to freshen up with, especially after you’ve been flying dry air! Thank you so much for sharing😊
Hi Eunice I have learned so much from you the last few years. thanks. I could not find the flat nite light item you showed at the end of the video. Could you please give me the link so I could buy it ? Thank You
There is a link to my Amazon Storefront in the video description and the first item is the glowing pad!😊
Thanks for the quick response. I didn’t realize it was a pack of items. Just ordered it on your link. Happy Traveling
@@ElizabethAnn-i3v yes, and when I don’t have the big flat one with me, I take a couple of the little ones that are slim that can hang on the door knob if I don’t want as much light😊
Great swaps and hacks especially the makeup, Eunice! Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you got some great hacks from this video and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving🦃💕
I think you covered it all. Now I have to think of the solids I can take with me.
Thanks! 😊 I am always researching for new items so if I come up with something new, I will make another video!
One of the smartest videos out there!
Thank you so much! 😊💕
Hi,love the light thing and the small baggies for soaps i am checking them up!! Thanks
@@mariapagani1214 yay! Thanks so much! Glad to share with you!😊
I love these suggestions from another backpacker!! Weight and comfort both priority!!
@@amhuston79 yes! Backpacking teaches us a lot when it comes to wanting to travel light! 💕😊
That Tatcha serum stick is the best! And they support education for girls.
Yes! I love that stick because it all allows me to put extra moisture where I need it! And yes, the support of education for girls is a tremendous bonus💕😊
Absolutely BRILLIANT ideas - thank you! ❤
@@janebrown3587 you’re very welcome and thank you! I’m always happy to share to help you with your travel adventures💕😊
Another great video, thank you! I have a long haul flight to Austin (Texas) from London in April and always looking at different ways to pack and what to actually pack. I'm planning to take carry-on luggage only this time (for the first time on a long haul flight!). I'm only staying for five days so it SHOULD be easy to pack light .... right? :D
Thank you so much and I’m so glad you’re getting some great hacks from my videos. I say it’s always possible to pack carry-on only even for longer days however, everyone needs her different.. for example, if you have to bring a lot of medication or something that may take up a lot of room in your luggage. However, that being said, if you are strategic about what you wear on the plane and put a capsule wardrobe together in your personal carry-on and carry-on luggage, you can get away with carry-on luggage for any trip.. especially for a five day trip. It should be pretty easy to pack Kahn only.💕😊
I am very lucky in not needing any medication (other than the usual just-in-case tablets for headache etc) and I don't wear make-up. My toiletries can be minimal. I'll probably bring some hand cream and another moisturiser of some sort. I should be able to pack light and luckily for this trip I know I don't need any fancy clothes, all very casual meetups. Really looking forward to this trip. :)
@@zoedeterding9147 happy it is casual! Enjoy this trip!
Your hair looks great! Love the tips for less liquids!
Thank you! 💕😊
Trinny London cosmetics come in little round cases that stack together and don’t take up much room,I always travel with those.
I’ll have to check those out! Thank you so much for sharing😊💕
I love your channel so much. So many good tips! I appreciate all of them.
Thank you so so much! I truly love doing the research and making these videos for you💕😊
This is a great video. I just followed your Amazon page.
Even with TSA Pre you have to be careful. Some airports still check liquid bags.
The sunscreen stick for the body would not be enough for me. I guess you could purchase more at your destination.
Thank you so much and yes every airport is different. For example if you go to Lubbock Texas, they don’t have a TSA pre-check line but they do give you a card so that you get waived for having to take out your computer and your shoes and your liquids bag.. but if you’re traveling out of the country, you always want to be sure that you have some sort of clear bag with you just in case they decide that any of the things that I show you here are considered a “liquid”. Regarding what I pack yes unless it’s something that’s prescription or that I really can’t get overseas. I only bring enough to get me through for a few days a week and then I can always purchase more when I’m at my destination.😊
@@TheoryofSimple The airport in Trenton NJ is the same way..
Great liquid replacement ideas! I try to travel just with a carryon so I’m always looking for ways to minimize. One thing I am planning to do to save space, is removed the antiperspirant from its bulky plastic package and carrying it in a smaller container. The only makeup I use is mascara - is there a non-liquid form of that? Also, you could label those little bags for shampoo and so on with a sharpie.
Thank you! Regarding the mascara, they used to make a powdered form that you just added water to but I’m not sure if they still make it. Regarding the antiperspirant, I do find that those little pads that I bring work really well so if it’s something you want to try out to see if it work for you that way you don’t have to carry as much but if you are going for a long period of time, it’s better to take that solid anti-perspirant.😊💕
They make cake mascara, I know Besame cosmetics has one that's a little square in a tin & you get it damp & use a brush to apply it. They give you a brush but I would get a plain spoolie brush to use. There are probably other brands that do too, try looking at sustainable brands I find they are sometimes more likely to have a powder or bar version of things.
@@TheoryofSimple Are those antiperspirant or deodorant pads?
@@Teajay21 I will look into that, as long as it doesn’t require any actual skill to use!
@@cs4849 I don't think so? The brush besame gives I feel like doesn't work well which may be a skill issue on my part but with a spoolie it's basically the same you just coat it & apply.
I use the crystal rock deodorant. It lasts forever and it works great for me. Just don't drop it or it will shatter!
Thank you for sharing that! 💕😊
Your video showing the small Clinique facial bar made me look for my favorite cleanser in a bar form. I found a large one and had my husband cut a small sliver with his radial arm saw 😂
Edit to add: I love the glowing nightlight! My husband and I used to use snap glow sticks (single use!) on our truck door when we’d go camping. I was always afraid we have to run from an animal and not be able to find the truck 😂 Never happened btw 😅
Regarding that clinic facial bar, I’ve had that for a long time and I only use it when I travel because I can’t find that small size anymore so I bought the larger one and cut it in the third. Regarding that glowing nightlight thing the best part about it is this reusable and I don’t have to worry about having some One youth plastic thing. It really is worth the money if you can get one and just keep it even in your emergency kit.!
Not only is it tough to travel internationally when they make you use the dreaded ziploc (looking at London Heathrow), but when you have super sensitive, acne-prone skin or really finicky hair like I do, then there are certain liquids and essentials I just can't seem to give up. Solid cleansing bars are too harsh, stick SPF causes breakouts, and solid shampoos dry my scalp. 🙃 I'm so nervous for my upcoming trip, but determined to pack carry-on only. Your video has some great advice, it was the first video to really address the liquid issue. So many people packing carry-on only are way way overpacking their liquids and I know that won't fly (literally) in Germany this summer.
I recently diagnosed with rosacea and now have to take a liquid face soap and serum to keep it in check. I will carry as much as I can as a solid but now have to take some liquids.
No need to overpack. There are pharmacies and Dept. Stores everywhere. Your hotel can direct you to the nearest store.
@@dorcasowens8521 not all products are available in all countries and some of them are expensive so I don’t necessarily want to be spending money buying new product when I have it with me😊

@@TheoryofSimple, I was thinking I could just buy new when I reached our first European country and sighed a breath of relief. Then I realized that trick won’t work since we fly to several more countries and would need to throw away at the end of the week what I had purchased. I love all the swaps you have made! And the tooth brush hack for your nails is genius! I’m always fussy about my nails and it is hard to find small nail brushes, this is the best hack I’ve learned from all (so many) the videos I have watched. Thank you!!!
I still have my TSA bag in my suitcase and 9 times out of 10, TSA never even looks at it. And since I have started checking my bag instead of carrying it on, it's not a problem anymore. 🤷♀️
Yep! I rarely get asked about my TSA clearance bag. I keep it in my carry on and just keep going!
Thank you for all of these helpful hints!!....just got some of these items on Amazon.
You are very welcome and I hope they help you reduce your liquids for your next travel adventure💕😊
Those glow bead thing is amaaazing❤
Yes! Very handy to have! 😊
I use a goats milk soap because of skin allergy that can also be used to wash my hair with. I have very short hair so works great
@@karenfendley8026 oh wow! What brand do you use?
Brilliant ideas thank you so much. Will definitely use most of your suggestions for my next trip
Thank you so so much! I’m so glad you got some great ideas from this video for your next trip! 💕😊
LUSH solid everything! Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, it smells incredible and it safe to eat!
(Please note: use the products, do not consume. We'll, that's my just advice.)
Thank you so much for sharing that with us! 🥲💕
I like head cram balm instead if lotion.....from a local company I know here in Essex called "One-legged-robbin"
I’ve never heard of that, but thank you so much for sharing💕😊
I use tiger balm a lot for everything!
Plus, I like that it comes in that little tin that’s reusable!😊
What I use that great is Ola dry towels to remove makeup just add water to wash or take makeup off
Yes! They work great!💕
Thank you so much for sharing. Great for my upcoming travels. Can you please tell me where you purchased the soap storage pouch?
@@UniqueD22 all of these products are available on my Amazon storefront, and you can check out that link in the video description and it will take you there to be able to browse all of the things that I have tried and used on my travel adventures😊
My family has allergies so we can’t use most hotel toiletries and it’s hard to find “safe” sticks etc. I pack moisturizer in contact container. (Small. Don’t need a ton.). Same with conditioner. Pack as much as possible in small containers.
Absolutely agree and I have done several videos on how I pack an ultras small toiletry bag is in contact lens containers for everything from moisturizers to make up and it gets me through a week💕😊
@@TheoryofSimple are the contact lense containers you use connected to one another? I swear, when I used to buy them for this purpose years ago I could find individual right and left ones.
@@jow.2450 great question and these are connected so there is a left and the right lens. And sometimes the lens cases are different color, but they’re at least it usually marked with an L or an R. I have not seen the little individual contact lens cases in years. However, they do make some really small containers now that you can find on Amazon if you want things to be in separate containers.😊
I'm retired flight attendant, bags are 1+1. One for overhead one under seat in front. That's it.flying intl for over 30 yrs
Correct. Just flew today and watched a few people put BOTH bags in the overhead bin. That is why we run out of bin space.
I carryon. Not 2. No under seat bag. I had people move them!! Gotta make room for every suitcase!
If your sitting in the bulk head remember that those passengers need to put their carry on and their personal item bag in the overhead as they do not have a seat in front of them to stow a bag…
I've been sitting at the bulk head a few times recently. It was a 738. There were openings on the floor under first class seats to store carry on bag. Was surprised! I'm retired flight attendant also.
@@Barbara-u5h wow that’s really cool! I guess they’re getting smarter about offering storage space for bulkhead travelers😊

Excellent tips! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much and I’m so happy you got some great hacks from this video💕😊
Great hacks. I never max out my liquids bag, most of my liquids allowance is devoted to contact lens care. No solid alternative to that, alas. I don't carry liquid makeup, I wear very little, just a light brush of bronzing powder, blush, and eye shadow. I carry a small bottle of wilderness wash, which I can use for shampoo, laundry soap, and washing my cook mug and utensils in my hotel room.
Yeah, no solid alternatives to contract lens solution 🤷♀️ love wilderness wash! You can see in the video In my first bag that I carry the WW soap leaves. So handy! 💕😊
Just For info… Contact lens liquids are NOT included as part of the 3-1-1. It’s separate..medical necessity.

Wow! Thank you so much for this information. I am definitely going to hunt for sticks especially mostizering stick and Vitamin C stick. It’s good to know they don’t have to be in liquid bag.
Thank you so much ! That moisturizer stick is awesome I love that I can also curate with me so if I get dry during the day, it’s nice to slip into my purse.💕😊

Best thing I travel with are bar shampoo and conditioner. It amazes me how many things you have that I also have in my bag. We need to travel together. 😂 I always carry the dry soap papers that you just add water to. As well as spray hand sanitizer
I’m thinking of trying bar shampoo and conditioner for my long, thick hair. I’d love to hear what you use and like!
We do travel alike ! I always have the paper soaps with me, and I always have hand sanitizer with me. 💕😊
@@happyfamily1298 I like the ones that are in my Amazon storefront. I’m always looking for a new brands as well and as soon as I find something I absolutely love I’ll bring it to you! Of course everybody’s preference and toiletries is different but I find that some of these bar soaps leave my hair feeling a little funny. Especially the ones that are meant for your whole body and your hair.😊
