oh this is heavy
yeah this is heavy
hi loves welcome to the vlog on my
channel i haven't really decided what
exactly this video is gonna be
whether it be like
a pack with me or a day in the life
or what it is but
i've been thinking about this concept
since i went to hawaii because
when i posted the hawaii vlog and when i
posted pictures on instagram people
could not believe that that was all that
i packed and that i packed it in such a
small suitcase
so i was thinking in my head let me show
y'all again because mind you i've done
a pack with me video
and i shared it when before we went to
aruba and so many people thought that
that video was fake it wasn't real
even though i showed you guys packing
for the trip and then i showed you guys
unpacking when i got to aruba and then i
showed you guys packing again and coming
back i don't know what else i can show
you but i'm gonna kind of go through
that again and we'll see like where this
video goes so
just join me
as i pack it's literally i'm tired i'm
not gonna lie it's like eleven o'clock
at night
i just got back from a dinner
and our flight leaves at five in the
morning so
you could
hopefully you can resonate with
the type of life that i live but lately
my life has been very back to back to
back to back which i'm appreciate which
i'm appreciative of because i did ask
for this i did manifest this however
your girl is tired for real so let's go
back
i need some water and i think that we're
out
today is april 30th wednesday april 30th
and i
had a
live this morning with macy's then we
had to go to the juice bar because my
husband owns a juice bar then i needed
to come back and do some content some
hair content which is why my hair is
like this and i think i'm just going to
wear my hair like this on the trip
because i don't have any other time
and then um
i went to a surprise birthday dinner for
my sister birthday slash welcome home
dinner for her and now it's 11 o'clock
and i'm home on my little island in my
closet you guys already saw my whole
closet
reveal and like organization with
cricket i have the suitcase so
the suitcase is right here i think i
mentioned this before
i want to say it's from bad bath and
beyond but we did get it as a wedding
gift by the time we had our wedding it
was like a year later so
i can't give you the exact details but
this is the
i'm actually slightly unpacking just to
show you guys the suitcase i'm gonna try
to find it
online so this is
oh my god
oh my god
does this have a hole in it
this is the suitcase in terms of size
reference
this suitcase is small typically a
carry-on suitcase
is anywhere from
i want to say 20 to 24 inches i think
that this one is 20 to be honest
with you
i'm only five two so i'm thinking that
this is a 20 inch suitcase
so if i wanted to go bigger i could go
up to a 24
inch suitcase but either way it goes
it's something in between
the 20 and 24 inch suitcase so
um here's my suitcase in the inside it's
open there's no compartments there's
only this mesh that zips this part
closed and then these two hooks okay so
if if you wanted to know there is a
lock on here that i've never used like
because it's a carry-on size i don't
need to lock it
for any reason so i'm actually going to
legit like play some music and i'm just
going to pack this suitcase but i'll
show you guys kind of what i've set out
to
take with me
first oh and i want to show you some new
shoes because
i got some new shoes in the mail
so the first one is these kogaya heels
here is the box
i am loving the box it's like
a mauve kind of color i did my nails too
they're so cute
i like them and in metallic it says ko
gaya
right now i want to say that sax is
doing a family and friend sale so kogaya
was like 25 off something like that i'm
gonna leave links though if especially
if these items are still like on sale
but even if they're not i would
definitely leave them so i got a pair of
heels from kolkai and if you know
anything about kogaya they do resort
wear like no other
ah
i broke my nail too like i broke it
broke it
everybody always asks me how i break
nails i don't know
i'm just so rough on my hands
but i like
split this nail i'm gonna put it back on
but
anyways these are the cult guy heels and
sadly i've been watching these heels for
maybe like two years they've had them
out for a minute and they just went on
sale and they're they're really flat
low-key
if you guys know my thing with flats
then you'll understand if you don't know
my thing with flats watch my last hawaii
luxury haul so these are actually flat
but y'all you see the platform and then
they loop up and then they also have
like this really really puffy
material here i love
these and when i tried them on
oh my god
impress thoroughly
impressed with the comfort in these so
these are going to be like my main heels
these are from kogaya and then the other
shoes that i got are from
a black owned brand called kendall miles
now
kendall miles i've been following her
for a while
i would say like three or four years
okay so one of her shoes came with this
anklet you guys will see it on the trip
so i'm not gonna go deep into that
but literally literally
literally
literally i have
three pair of shoes mine so these are
her foxy
these are her mules
i can't remember what they're called
maybe they're not foxy flats but these
are her mules they come with a dust bag
y'all just as good as my giuseppe's
this is how my giuseppe's got shipped
okay
so dust bag
and she has a better dust bag
for sure it's much thicker
and this is one of the shoes
and they're green and they're satin and
their mules
i'm not going to show you all too much
because i want to show these in another
in a like black owned business luxury
hard something like that like this video
if you want to see another black owned
business haul because i did one and
y'all were loving it but yeah another
one from kendall miles these two are
flats i have two two of these boxes
they're both flat so i'm not gonna go
into like real details but the flats the
foxy flats come with the purple
or the lavender dust bag
and then i got
a blue pair of flats
y'all see this you'll see the fur
i i am so excited matter of fact let me
take this out because i think i'm going
to be taking these with me
another one kendall miles
and i also got
the black
her heels her shoes are 10 out of 10 i
would recommend they're they are amazing
quality like the quality is there the
price isn't that bad
get them i'm trying to tell you right
now you guys will see this again in a
black owned business hall of some sort
and
let me pack because i do want to go to
bed hey siri
play tim's ready on spotify
thames radio now playing on spotify
[Music]
most of the clothes are actually in it
and i know that people are gonna like
heavily disagree with this this is the
clothes
but
this
trust me this is gonna lay fairly flat
and
typically on this side all i do is
shoes
makeup
accessories that type of thing and then
any other filler areas i will do
i will do clothes um because i like to
have
pieces that mix and match i typically
don't put my shoes in a bag but because
these are new
and i do want to
preserve them i am going to pack my
kendall miles flats together
how i would normally do my shoes this
trip
i want to i want to make it an actual
vacation because even though i've
manifested so many trips they've all
been i've worked on all of them and
this one in particular i've worked my
ass off my arse
off okay
not have to work
for at least one of these trips so this
trip
i want to be able to relax so i'm gonna
pack
shoes that i can like look cute in but
like still relaxing there's only one
outfit i don't have a pair of shoes from
and honestly i don't even care no more i
i was tripping on it before but now i i
do not care i don't care whatever
happens happens and also inside of my
bags like i'm bringing this brandon
blackwood bag
i've brought it on a couple of trips
it's really like a
travel
beach summery bag it's a wicker trunk
and it's minnie but inside of my bag i
have a perfume a hair oil and all of my
jewelry so this actually is heavy
but it's filled with valuables so i i do
love that you know you can use your
pieces for
multi-uses definitely don't ever think
it actually works better because it
keeps them
nice and tight in your suitcase so that
you know stuff isn't moving around
and then let me show you this real quick
so the side that i have my shoes on
there's going to be holes
so in the holes is where you want to put
your extra clothes accessories
anything like that and typically i would
bring sneakers on a trip or like boots
or something and i would stuff my
sunglasses into them but this time i'm
gonna put my sunglasses
in my carry-on for sure everybody knows
that when you pack
your shoes so there here's clothes this
isn't going to be over here but
so clothes are packed right
but this side is like
it's kind of full it's kind of empty
you see all of these gaps these are good
gaps for
underwear pajamas
extra pieces of clothing
things like that you want to stuff this
so that this isn't moving around so in
here i have all of my makeup and
skincare literally all of it i fit in
this the lip bar bag this is a new
collaboration
i just really wanted to bring this back
so these items are likely going to go in
here i might add like
i don't know if i'm going to bring those
green pants but
these items are definitely going to go
in here we're going to stuff them in
there this extra bag
honestly i might put some underwears or
some some can fit in here
in here in my pajamas so we're going to
go ahead and do this and then i'll close
up my suitcase and when i get to my
destination i will unpack so i can show
you guys how much i brought and mind you
this is my carry-on and it looks large
on camera although it's not and this bag
right now is empty
so only thing that there's nail blue a
speaker and some mask
and
this little tripod thing
but for my phone but that's the only
thing that's in this own hair tie but
that's literally the only thing that's
in here so in here i'll put like
my passport my global entry card
and
password global entry and
vaccination card i'll put that in there
like anything that's valuable my wallet
i'll put it in here and whatever purse
i'm gonna bring i'll also put it
into
this bag so this is literally just
essentials but i can guarantee you this
bag will not be full so let me go ahead
and pack this side of the suitcase and
close it up and then i will be back
[Music]
all right so it is midnight i am done
so crazy to me my flight leaves at like
five
in the morning so i'm gonna try to get
three hours of sleep
this is typical me but this bag is now
packed the only thing the only other
thing it's kind of heavy too but that's
it's not full
like as you can see it's only like
halfway
but i have
mainly electronics in here so chargers
cameras i do have one pair of shoes
but it's primarily chargers cameras
cards and then like
all of my documentation like passports
my id and stuff my wallet is gonna go in
here all of that stuff is gonna go
into this bag my purse is currently in
the car so i'll probably just like
tackle that in the morning like get my
wallet out but i don't really need a
whole lot for my purse but any
essentials that i need i'm gonna put in
here along with this camera that i'm
currently using and the tripod that i'm
currently using so
other than that we are good to go i
cannot for the life of me find my health
my handheld tripod but if i can find
that one i'm gonna add that into this
i'm not trying to stress myself out
though so whatever gets added gets added
again i'm gonna try to make this a
vacation and not a work trip because i
need
a real
live
break but that is how i pack so i'll see
you guys in
the dr
and because that's where i'm going next
this is how i pack okay
this is it you just saw me pack that bag
with all of that stuff
and
here's the bag it's kind is this kind of
heavy
oh this is heavy
yeah this is heavy but it's small
but i ain't gonna lie this this got some
weight to it
so yeah i'll see you guys in the morning
okay so we've made it here
now this is the setup this is what i
packed
my mush bag is my carry-on or my
personal item sorry and then my suitcase
is my carry-on
i did not use the extenders on it you
can see the extenders are closed
on both sides so if it were open the
suitcase would be a lot wider but it is
not so i'm actually gonna
unpack
a couple of things
and
put them in the
closet so that i can kind of
keep things together but yeah
here's the hotel
[Music]
you asked me why i'm doing this
but even if i told you why i doubt very
strongly that the knowledge would change
anything at all
