Pack Toiletries (With Travel Hacks)
Timecodes:
hey there today I'm teaching you how to
pack toiletries this is going to help
you organize your packing list of
toiletries while showing you some travel
hacks the number one travel tip for
packing toiletries is to divide them up
among your carry-on bags you're going to
separate the essentials before you pack
them into pouches baggies a hanging
toiletry bag or a top kit and the second
way to organize your toiletries is into
categories this picture that I've made
for you is going to help you mentally
fit your toiletries that are necessary
for a trip into a category I'm going to
give you a picture so that you can
categorize in your head as well as on a
packing list now you can pack based on
these topics Health Essentials for a
trip hair makeup and skin care and
notice that we are also going to include
the tools we are going to pack those
Essentials inside in a previous packing
list I had also made a category as
liquids and so I was listing under that
category all the liquids that I would
pack but we'll save that Until the End
Health Essentials we are going to pack
would be vitamins prescription medicines
eye drops feminine items maybe bug spray
and toothpaste let us know in the
comments section what other toiletries
that are Health Essentials to you that
you would pack one other item we would
need to pack with our vitamins is the
pill organizer case so I would write
that under Tools if some of you are
listing medicine as your Health
Essentials I will talk about that in
just a second one of my subscribers
packs her earrings in a pill organizer
I'm going to help you think of
containers in a different way when you
do pack your toiletries I want you to
ask this one question will this
container or case help you I have this
huge toiletry case that takes up half of
my carry-on suitcase if you have a pouch
or some kind of a travel case for your
toiletries I want you to ask yourself if
it can fit in the corner of your
suitcase will it fit in between the
clothes that you are packing if it does
then that's going to help you is the
size of this kit essential for your trip
or do you need your toiletries all in
one place can that fit in your personal
item bag I want you to compare like a
Dopp kit to pouches I have started using
these pouches this last year because
they stand up on their own when I'm
packing them and I really like that
they're mesh and lightweight it comes in
a set of three when I am traveling one
of these can fit in my carry-on suitcase
one can fit in my personal item bag I
can divide them up amongst my carry-on
bags in my experience of packing in a
carry-on for 20 years as a pilot wife I
have come to realize that smaller is
easier to pack I do have a video all
about packing medicines but you can also
help yourself by going to tsa.gov and
then scrolling down to medical issue
issues and that will help you for hair
toiletry items I want you to think about
what you do to your hair in the morning
in the afternoon what do you do to your
hair in the shower even I want you to
write down those tools and Essentials
there are hair ties Clips shampoo a hair
dryer a curling iron and maybe the
travel case that the curling iron goes
in if you need to pack a lot of hair
ties or scrunchies or scarves you can
pack them in a travel case for
technology cords because usually they're
long and flat a travel hack for bobby
pins is to pack them in a Tic Tac
container or just Loop them over a hair
tie or put them in a plastic bag an old
travel hack for packing disposable
razors is to use one of those big
Bulldog clips and just put the clip over
the blade and then press down or move
the little handles down two travel hacks
for packing or curling iron is you can
use a 100 cotton sock or you can pack it
in a pot holder glove of one travel tip
to help you is to know that the TSA does
not need to have your curling iron or
anything like that or your cords in the
gray bins you can pack them anywhere in
your carry-on bags so far we have
organized our toiletries into topics and
the next way to list them out is by time
of day what toiletries do you use in the
morning time you make a packing list
based on categories that are easy for
you by topic or by time of day if you're
changing hotels every night this packing
method is easiest to me in my videos I
want to help you think differently if it
helps you pack more in your carry-on
suitcase one of the pouches that you
have packed in can be for your morning
routine items and then in another pouch
you can pack your evening routine
toiletries and that way you won't have
to think oh where did I put my hair tie
or my toothbrush I just got this new
toothbrush I love it it's very easy to
use and it is breathable on Etsy I just
got this new toiletry case it is
beautiful and so cute here's the size
reference it is the size small though I
was skeptical of the fabric on the
inside but this is so well done and one
travel tip for if you are going to pack
in pouches is to make sure that the
zippers go over the edges it means that
the pouch can open up even more wide or
wider
I'm missing a light can you tell with
the lighting I didn't have time to get a
new one you can customize the pouches
they're also customizable pouches on
Amazon if that's easier for you one
could say am one could say PM for the
evening toiletries I packed recently for
our trip to Colorado in this toiletry
kit it is hanging and it all fits in one
spot but I packed by time of day so in
this mesh pocket I have my deodorant my
comb my hair tie my toothbrush because
I'm going to need those in the morning
one travel tip to remember is that you
do not have to pack your container or
your kit or your pouch in the way that
it was designed like it was designed to
be zipped up in one kit love it if it
saves me space in my carry-on suitcase I
would open it like that and pack it flat
I don't have to pack it like that see
the bulk that that makes if I lay it
flat in my suitcase I save more space
one pouch can be packed in your personal
item bag that you're going to use for
the flight like I did for the word fly
that's going to be my pouch for my
personal item back maybe one travel tip
for you is that the face wipes
antibacterial wipes they do not count as
liquids and they do not need to be
pulled out or put in the liquids bag for
going through security since makeup is
so personal I will link my makeup
packing video up here for you and in the
description box below I do get a lot of
questions about the Rouge like the old
Tommy Rouge that they're making again or
like the packed Foundation it is
spreadable but it's not considered
liquid Vaseline would be considered a
liquid and would need to go in your
liquids bag and technically mascara
would also be counted as liquids but I
don't usually put them in my liquids bag
but I did for this last trip one travel
hack for packing skincare is to ask your
consultant for the little travel or
sample sizes of that product that you
need here are some travel tips about
skin care toiletries number one packing
in a carry-on means that your
moisturizer or any creams or anything
that can spray or spread like gel needs
to be in a container that's 3.4 ounces
or smaller and number two all of those
containers have to fit in a clear-ish
quart sized bag now note for my
International Travelers if you were
flying through Heathrow they are going
to make you put your toilet or your
liquids in a small plastic bag it's not
even a quart size but they have the bags
for you and then I want you to pack your
skin care with three things in mind is
this item totally essential for a
five-day trip or can you just leave it
at home for these five days and number
two what products do you need to pack
for morning routine or evening skin care
and number three can you pack this
travel size item in a smaller container
like this this is the store-bought
travel size container but it would also
a lot of it would fit in a smaller
container like this if the toiletry item
or lotion is super thick one travel tip
is do not pack a brand new skin care
item for a trip because you do not want
to have an allergic reaction when you
are away from your family doctor when
making a packing list I want you to list
out all of your tools that you're going
to use examples of toiletry tools would
be your brush a comb CPAP machine makeup
brush travel case or your charger for
your electric toothbrush by the way I
asked a hotel one time what is the most
forgotten item and they said electronic
toothbrush Chargers
another essential I would pack that is a
toiletry is my eyeglass cleaner you may
have a wipe I like these peeps but that
is a tool that I'm going to list when I
do make my packing list I forgot my
reading glasses one time and thank
goodness my husband was able to make it
back to our house once we got to our
gate that's when I realized I had
forgotten them he made it back in time
so I could travel with my reading
glasses a travel hack for a beauty
blender would be to pack your beauty
blender sponge in a plastic Easter egg
because it has the two holes at the end
for breathability so I would write
plastic egg or Easter egg on my toiletry
list under Tools or as one of my tools
one tip is to use your favorite pen or
your favorite magic marker and put a
little star beside your items that need
to be packed in the liquids bag I would
pack my mousse my moisturizer shampoo
liquid foundation in my TSA approved
liquid bag bag one packing tip is that
you can pack all of your tools in one
pouch and then everything else in
another pouch I have used this makeup
brush holder for a long time and love it
because it does stand up on the hotel
room counter and it folds over so that I
can just have my brushes sticking out
but you can also use the hotel coffee
cup for your brushes and just pack them
in a really thin plastic bag but for our
trip to Colorado I packed all of my
makeup brushes in this little pocket
because they all lay flat I want you to
use the pyramid packing method when you
are packing your toiletry items or your
pallets for makeup you're going to stack
them in a triangle if that makes sense
you want the flattest on the bottom so
I've got my comb my face wash and then
my deodorant so I'm building up to save
the most space when packing and then I
have my little toothbrush way down there
in the bottom the flat pallets or
toiletry items that you have are going
to be melding in with the wall of your
pouch so then all the bulky stuff will
be in the middle of the pouch if that
makes sense one travel tip that I
figured out after 10 years of packing in
a carry-on bag and liquid bag is to save
space in your liquids bag or to make
more space is to pack the containers
horizontally instead of standing up okay
and these travel tips may help you
replace liquid toiletries for dry ones
you can pack toothpaste tablets which
actually do work instead of your
toothpaste tube you can pack a hair
conditioner bar or shampoo bar instead
of liquid shampoo you can pack those
face wipes instead of liquid eye makeup
remover for my shampoo bar one of the
travel hacks I use is I take a carrot
peeler and I peel off some of the
shampoo bar we have a lush shampoo bar
or whatever store near me so I got to
talk to them and they have all all these
shampoos that are good for my dry scalp
so just whatever wherever you get your
shampoo bar if you want to try it just
peel off some pieces but first one of my
subscribers suggested that you try it
out in your shower and see if that
amount that you have peeled off actually
does is it is enough to wash your hair
it bubbles up like crazy I love mine
that I have let me know in the comment
section how you have packed toiletries
in the past if you need to pack less
weight in your carry-on suitcase because
of the airline's strict requirements now
I do have a video that I will link for
you and you can just click on the
picture and it will take you right there

can see all of my links to this video as
well and some other helpful ones for you
