when I travel there are 35 essentials that I pack in my bags these travel
essentials are must-have items that are going to be on every packing list
I'll pack these 35 travel essentials for every trip so that I do not forget the
most important items airport security will allow all of these items that I'm
going to share with you through airport security
several subscribers have asked me to make this video after seeing the 29 items
you cannot take through airport security in a carry-on so let's pop in to this
video called 35 travel essentials my name is Laurie and want to say thank you
for visiting my travel tips by Laurie YouTube channel remember that these are
just my essentials from my perspective that hopefully will help you when you
are making your packing list the number one Travel essential for me is to make
sure I pack my travel Powerbank for my phone and that way it gives me one full
charge and it also takes about 20 minutes when I want to charge my phone
on the airplane since a lot of airplanes now have onboard entertainment my
battery seems to go really fast so when we go to Europe in a few weeks I have
also ordered this one from Amazon and it will give me two full charges for my
phone and that will make it last while I'm going on a long-haul flight I do
pack other items but remember this video is geared toward my essentials another
travel essential is headphones now I used to pack over the ear headphones
because I love that feel but then they broke so I bought these cheap ones there
Skullcandy or something I cannot stand them this little bud falls out all the
time and I couldn't find them the other day so my husband let me use his and
these are just the regular iPhone headphones they are worth some money
they feel like my son's air pods do they will not come out and I tested them
going to Atlanta and back and they work fantastically and also keep them in this
kind of container it's a one handed container like you can open it with one
hand the reason why headphones are an essential is because all
of the airplanes do have onboard entertainment and they don't always have
the free headphones that they used to another travel essential is my own
deodorant I know that they do make deodorant wipes like the kind you might
use for a mammogram but those do not work for me at all they do save space
though but they don't work for me you don't want to sit beside me if I'm using
the wipe deodorant piece of paper another travel essential for our family
is to download your Airline's app on your phone it gives you a lot of important
information like where the flight is coming from and you'll know the weather
that's in that city what open seats there are what gate it is now going to
be at now that you're fixing to get dropped off at the airport you'll know
which terminal to go to very helpful information another travel essential I
have learned to pack is one dollar bills for the person who is transporting my
suitcase or like in the shuttle van giving them one dollar for each person's
suitcase is very helpful and respectful another thing another essential that I
use is to pack my own moisturizer when I am away from my doctor is not when I
want to have a maybe allergic reaction because I'm trying a new lotion when we
travel to another country we make sure we have our credit card numbers on a
little piece of paper in our suitcase or in the contacts section of our phone in
case we have to deal with a pickpocketing situation I do have a
video for you called 9 travel safety tips to help you if you're traveling out
of the country or alone or just want to know some new tools that are out there
for traveling you can click on the iCard or in the description box below if I am
only taking my makeup essentials I am going to pack my own foundation I'm not
gonna try a new one while I'm there or a CC cream like a tinted moisturizer a
light colored eyeshadow and then I'm also going to take at least one accent
color and that way I'll save space and I'm only taking my essentials as well as
the eyeliner in mascara I usually do take a lot more makeup than those
essentials but you can look at that video there or down below another time
My scalp is picky so for my travel essential I do pack my own shampoo some of my
smart subscribers will wait until they get to the hotel and use a free one and
they save space in their liquids bag I also always travel with a hoodie rolled
up and put in the bottom of my backpack in case I get cold on the airplane I now
have an essential pair of sunglasses that are polarized because midlife
health eye health and I also pack a fingernail file my nails choose to chip
or slit in half when I am traveling and have you ever seen a nail file container
my husband laughed out loud when I told him that I wanted to order one from
Amazon I love this one it's beautiful a glass pretty a fingernail file can fit
in there or my regular emery board that I prefer can fit in there when I'm
reaching down into my backpack sometimes or my purse sometimes my skin
will rub against the emery board part and it hurts it's like sandpaper so it's
an essential for me you may have heard this travel essential from my other
videos but I always take a screenshot of my pass to get through security like my
ticket with the little scanner code for TSA to use as well as the gate agent
To me it's faster than trying to pull up the email or pull out my paper and then
putting away the piece of paper it's just easier I guess because we always
have our phone to just easily put away your phone since I don't use a
pickpocket no since I don't use a pop socket anymore I use this little flip
thing for walking it's more secure to me I now take what I've used for years this
phone prop it holds my phone and it is big enough to hold the iPhone 7 when I'm
traveling somewhere and my husband is not gonna be the one driving I need to
have my wallet my reading glasses my keys inside a crossbody it's just easier
than hauling around my backpack once I get to my destination so I'll just put
my travel bag or my crossbody bag inside my backpack or a suitcase
until I get there and then pull them out now when we go to Europe I'm going to
need to put my reading glasses in here whole time like usually I wear them as
an accessory because I'm 46.99 years old so this is an awesome
crossbody bag it's not the prettiest thing but it's gonna be great when I
have a thick down coat on and a big old scarf and a hat I won't have room I
won't have time to take out my reading glasses from under here and put them on
so that's just my idea I rambled on long enough for y'all next item I always pack
equal packets I can tell a difference between what's the yellow one Splenda
and the pink ones sweet and low equal to me has no flavor so that is my no sugar
alternative I almost always remember to take a pen and a journal or just a cute
little pad of paper I don't prefer to write notes and when ideas come to my
head in my phone I like having a nice pretty journal a travel essential that I
have used for years is my Gold Bond diabetics lotion it is the thickest
thing I love it and I keep it in a container like this and you've seen these in my
other videos it holds enough lotion for a good seven-day trip and it does not
leak and I've had the Vaseline in here because it takes forever to get rid of
vaseline vaseline I take like if I'm going to a beach location and I might
have a rash between my legs walking with a wet bathing suit on down a beautiful
beach in the middle of winter I always pack my ID and my insurance card and I
also travel with my pill case for supplements pills vitamins and this one
is a small one that I've used for years I bought this one from TJ Maxx and I
can't find a link for it but it has in order the little cases and it's like
morning noon evening and bedtime but it's a little bulky for me I was gifted
this one a few weeks ago and I'm going to make a review video on it I really
really love the sleek thin design of it it has little baggies for the morning so
these would be your pills for the morning
and then the evening it has pockets under here under here and then a zip one
on the outside anyway I will link this below in the description box I do have a
20% off code for you down there too if you've been around me for more than
twenty minutes you know that I always need Kleenexes when I travel and I
always have cold when I travel or even when I'm just in my house so I always
pack also a pair of socks to walk around the hotel room or to walk around the
guest house whose house were visiting a smart travel essential is to bring worn
in shoes and you can learn that from my brother who when he was visiting us in
DC brought brand-new tennis shoes to walk around DC with one of my very
favorite travel essentials is to bring outfit pieces that can mix and match now
my husband is a pilot so he travels a lot with accessories like technical
accessories when I am traveling I only need cord storage for like my phone
charger and my power bank charger unless I'm taking my camera or my laptop I will
use a bigger container I have taken this in the past and it is an organizational
container for technology gear in course but it is a hardshell case and it is too
stiff for me I need to be able to squish bags in between items and stuff like
that but anyway what I wanted to show you was we have used these little
containers to nut containers their little cord wrap items that you can wrap
cords around there are large ones for laptop cords stuff like that and we
always keep the blocks for plugging in in a separate location and then whoops
and then like the iPhone iPad thing but what I showed you in one of my Christmas
videos for travel gifts is these recoil things and what we have found out over
these three months of using them is that we only use the small one how you order
them on Amazon gives you a much larger one and you pull them out and they
recoil real fast but we have found that you
need them to recoil real real fast this would go in your phone and then this
would go in the little plugin block at the wall so you might pull them out like
that much and then you'll be through with it but the small one is just fine
for travel if you are looking for an organizer for your technology cords and
stuff make sure you have zipper parts and pockets that can actually store
things and I like these kind of pockets as well that have a zipper part but
these kind of pockets that don't have a zipper so you can easily get to your
technology essentials I really hope these 35 travel essentials will help you
when you're making your travel packing list let me know down below in the
description box no! in the comment box if you have a travel essential that I
have not mentioned thank you again for visiting and safe and happy travels to
you
