Annabel, this is so inspiring. Thank you for another amazing video and I love how you’re passing on your well loved bags to your family. That’s so generous and kind of you. And going from 4 to 2 bags is a big win. I love your style and how you walk through everything step by step. Really helpful. 💗
Hi Lisa! Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re still enjoying my step by step run throughs of everything 😅 and thank you again for your continued support, I love hearing from you too! 🫶🏼
I'm the same height as you and have the 13" kanken and having a smaller backpack makes such a big difference for the amount that a backpack feels like it sags and pulls me backwards! gotta protect your back and posture
Hi! Absolutely agree! I prefer to pack my things in the smallest sized backpack as possible, I do find that the 15” backpack just takes over me, even if it isn’t heavy. Thanks for your comment and for watching! 🫶🏼
I am always pleasantly surprised at what can fit in the Kanken, no matter the size! Awesome tip about the kitchen sponge, I am going to do that the next time that we travel. Thank you for sharing, and congratulations on your newly acquired items (and lucky girl who will receive your previously owned goodies).
Hi Myra! I’m always so surprised too! 😅 And the sponge worked really well for my trip, I also left the lid open to let it dry out during the day. And thank you so much, we will give the bags to her this weekend and she is super excited! 🫶🏼
My favorite bar shampoo is 100 senses in green tea. It is great as a shampoos and conditioner for your hair but also washes your entire body. It is wonderful and definately perfect for a minimalist. I recommend!
Hi, Annabel! This is Carol from Brazil! 🇧🇷🇧🇷 Thank you very much for showing all the items in detail! I'm very happy that you put into practice my request that I made in the last video. I'm loving your channel! Every time I feel anxious in my daily life, I come here to watch you and relax a little! Thank you for everything! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Hi Carol! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video too and I hoped going into detail with all my items helped! I’m so sorry to hear that sometimes you feel anxious but I’m happy to know watching my channel helps you relax! Wishing you all the happiness in the world from Florida! 🫶🏼💞
Thank you so much for this video Annabel! I already got the Kanken Laptop 15'' thanks to one of your last videos (couldn't be happier with it), and now that little crossbody bag is calling me. Seems like the perfect travel bag, and flat enough to store essily 😊 xx
Hi! I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying your Kånken 15” Laptop backpack! 🤩 The Vardag Pocket bag was honestly so great for my Naples trip! Super slim and compact but fits a surprising amount! I plan to review it and upload the video next week. Thank you for continuing to watch my channel and I’m glad you enjoyed this video! 🫶🏼
I have the smaller kanken in pink. I love it with all of my whole heart. I'm headed to Vegas this weekend, and that's what I'm only taking that. Great video🎉
Hi Katie! That’s so great! I hope your packing for Vegas goes well in your pink Kånken! I’m glad you also enjoyed this video too, have an amazing time in Vegas! 🤩🫶🏼
@@MinimallyAnnabel I resolved the problem using a "organization bag". It's helpful when the bag don´t have structure (like tote bags). You can try with a small bag (like the black Kanken bag).
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard great things about the Matador soap case (it’s like a little dry bag for soap, but somehow it lets the soap dry out) that might save a little space in your bag. I love my Kanken for travel too. ❤
Hi! I might have to look up that Matador soap case too but hesitant to have to purchase a new thing, the pot and sponge worked just fine for me and as long as I left it open it dried out really quickly! 😊 And I love that you’re also a Kanken backpack person too, thanks so much for the suggestion and for watching! 🫶🏼
Instead of ordering travel size bars, just cut off some chunks off the full size bars. 😅 I need to get better at packing more efficiently, I take about the same amount if not less than you and I still can't fit it in the backpack. I'm the worst at tetris.
Hi! I don’t even know why I didn’t think of that! 🤣 When I run out of the travel ones I’ll definitely cut some of the full sized bars, thank you! I’m sure you’ll get there with the packing, it took me some time to figure it all out at the beginning and I don’t think anyone ever gets it perfect anyway! Thanks again for the great suggestion and for watching! 🫶🏼
I don’t finish the ones I use at home completely . Only till they have travel sizes. And put them in my travel bags and start new ones at home. At the beginning of using bars I cut a bit of and use for travel. But my shampoo bar is very porous and can’t be cut otherwise is dissolve into lots of tiny pieces.
Great video💕 would you recommend the 13" laptop version for short trips and as day bagpack on longer trips over the classic one? (and sorry for my maybe poor english)
Hi Angelina! Personally, I always prefer the laptop bags because they already have the padded straps. It just depends on your daily needs. But I think either one will be do just fine for a day backpack 😊 the classic however, also has much more options for different colors, some people are drawn to that too. Hope that helps you a little! 🫶🏼
❤thank you for sharing with us , some of us wanted to know how much you can fit inside the kanken’s . I have the 15” laptop 👍🏼but my doesn’t have the pocket inside with the zipper, I wonder if the just added that lately I got my in 2022
Hi Mireya! I think the inside pocket in the laptop backpack is a fairly new feature. I got my 15” laptop in December 2023 (so very recently). My classic I got a few years ago. And thank you for watching, I hope my video helped! 🫶🏼
@DashokVlogs Hi! Yes, super easy to clean, you can use a bit of soap and water and dust/dirt we had on them came straight off! We then dried them using the hotel towels after our stay. Or you can use a wipe. Hope that helps! 🫶🏼
Hi! I mentioned that menstrual cups were not for me 😅 I find them super uncomfortable and difficult to clean efficiently whilst traveling! Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼
Hi! The internal capacity between the two is significantly different, 13L and 18L. Also in my next video I go down to one Kanken. Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼

I’m saving the Uniqlo Bag for long trips or for international trips. It is very useful in my opinion.

I use thé Matador soap case and it is nice. I usually let my soap dry a little before putting in in the case but it probably isn’t necessary 😉
Hi Cindy! I did check it out but decided this isn’t something I really need. But I’m glad you like it! 🫶🏼
@@cindyrhead9983if I ever find a good fragrance free shampoo I’m going to treat myself to the Matador. 😄

Hi Marina! Here is the link: a.co/d/gnWI2bf I have also added them to the description of the video! Thanks! 🫶🏼
@@MinimallyAnnabel Those foldable travel slippers appear to be very practical. Were they easy to wipe/wash? Thanks.

@@MinimallyAnnabel Great, thank you for confirming, Annabel! I do like them in a lighter color but wasn't sure about cleaning :)
For your feminine products ditch the tampons/STs & use a menstrual cup! Game changer...
Hi! I mentioned that menstrual cups were not for me 😅 I find them super uncomfortable and difficult to clean efficiently whilst traveling! Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼
The material the kanken is made of is awful.
Hi! Hate to admit it, but I also slightly agree with you there! 😅 Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼
I don't think so. I like it! I have a laptop 13 inch Kanken & a classic Kanken. So to each their own opinion .....
How is it minimalist to have two different Kanken in almost the same size and the same color? 😂
Hi! The internal capacity between the two is significantly different, 13L and 18L. Also in my next video I go down to one Kanken. Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼
minimalism is not about owning little but about not owning clutter that doesnt serve a purpose
