hey there today I thought I would share what is in my travel bag with one new
packing method. I have a carry-on suitcase and I have a weekender type bag
that's going to fit under the airplane seat the one new packing method is for
my personal item carry-on bag these are both considered carryons this is a
carry-on suitcase it can be a large duffel bag anything that fits the
luggage requirements for a carry-on suitcase for your major airline is
acceptable and this is considered a personal item or an item that is going
to fit per their luggage requirements under the airplane seat in front of you
the one new packing method which gave me the idea for this video is I packed a
packing cube inside my personal item bag because for our trip to Pawhuska
Oklahoma I have packed a lot of my shoes in the carry-on suitcase and I don't
usually travel with that many shoes but you can see I still have space for shoes
in the outside flap of my suitcase if I needed more but this is a very short
trip so that's why I'm able to do this in this first packing cube is a change
of clothes because we're getting to Tulsa Oklahoma and they were going to be
touring all afternoon and evening and so I wanted to change into shorts that were
fall colored that Ree Drummond would approve of and then I have another shirt
in shorts for later or for tomorrow one trial tip for packing your personal item
bag if you want to use a packing cube in there is because packing cubes are
smooshy that's gonna be my smushy side so if I
have to smush my bag or put my feet on top of the bag I'm gonna let my smooshy
side be on the floor side if that makes sense I need to have like my liquids I
want that to be on the opposite side and I'll try to keep or workaround that if I
need to smoosh something near there if that makes sense
so essentially I have packed everything lengthwise and so I have two rows my
packing cube and then my pal and then I also pack a crossbody bag I
want to have both hands-free so I'm going to use a crossbody that does go
with Burgundy's and in it I have my wallet and it's gonna have all my cards
and some cash and then my new glasses case and then my chapstick and my equals
because I'm sugar snob or a fake sugar snob and that crossbody
can fit in my personal item bag and when you get on the airplane you're only
allowed two bags all right so when I get inside the airplane that's when I pull
out my crossbody or when I get off the airplane I'll just pull out that
crossbody and put this back on my suitcase I bought this personal item bag
late spring because it is so large I don't know if it's still available on
Amazon or not but I will link it below the reason I bought it is because when
I'm walking through the airport this flap will fit over my suitcase handles
letting me be hands-free while I'm walking through the airport in my
personal item travel bag I also packed my sunglasses in a bright case because
it's easy to find in an black lined bag I always try to take an empty water
bottle a lot of airports have great water fountains nowadays it's not the
old timey ones and then I keep my Powerbank charger this has all the cords
in it that you need to plug it into the wall to charge it before you leave and
then this will charge your phone fully two times and then I have two of my
headphones one fits my phone and then one fits an old timey airplane
entertainment system if I have to use that kind of plug and then I have an
attachment that fits to my phone from that and in since its fall I'm going to
take my cardigan because it goes with the burgundy colors that I'm going to be
wearing if I get cold on the airplane my mother-in-law just got here and she said
that it felt like it was 40 degrees on her airplane I have my liquids bag I
have pretty TSA PreCheck but I always like to keep those liquids on my person
so in case my bag gets to the belly of the airplane I'm in
control of these and they're gonna be totally pressurized normally the whole
time and just yesterday I was putting shampoo in my normal squishy bottle
which I love and the top just slid right off and I learned my lesson don't buy
the off-brand I've left my go to Borgo tub shampoo
container in a hotel and so I bought this one at our grocery store and it
hasn't even lasted a whole year but these containers they're awesome I
tested it upside down all night and it worked fine it kept my shampoo in there
we'll see how it does but I have used these on other flights for like thick
lotion but shampoo and some face moisturizer is a really they're really
runny liquids and so that was my test for this one but I have it comes in a
set of five and then I am bringing my mousse because my mom and I are sharing
a room and she is not bringing her mousse and then I'm also bringing my
moisturizer a regular sized bottle I am bringing my Gold Bond diabetic lotion
this is super thick and does not leak out of these old containers that I have
just in case any of you are wondering lipgloss and mascara count as liquids
and they need to be in your liquids bag I also have eyeprimer and my foundation
and I only have a little bit of foundation left and I plan on throwing
this container away so I don't have to pack it to come home and then I have my
eye makeup remover from Mary Kay to paste I drop in Vaseline that I keep
just in case I need that I also packed a little amenity kit and that's got
band-aids because I'm wearing brand new shoes for the most part I have my key
for my trip home I have a little case that I pull out to put my hearing aids
in when I get on the airplane I have a pack of Kleenexes there are the
band-aids there's something else in here Oh a little plexus pink drink or one of
the days Oh my fingernail file carrier this is
what it comes with it's like glass or crystals something I'll link it below it
was a treat to myself you get two of them
and then the one that I keep in my purse I just used my little emery board
because that's the fingernail file that I prefer I do have a video about how to
make your own DIY amenity kits especially for a long-haul flight things
that you would pull out and when you get on the airplane thank you for visiting

on one shoulder the entire way to the baggage claim so just be prepared for
that one of my subscribers was not and it was very painful and inconvenient for
her okay if you've watched my ultimate travel tips I like to use a perimeter of
my suitcase for my shoes and that's what I've done in there and then I'll pack
the other packing cube in the center and that's just pajamas another couple of
outfits and then I have my makeup deodorant
let's see toothbrush my vitamins my face white my makeup brushes are in this
little bag and I don't have any of these bags that I can link for you they're old
and then these are also called packing cubes and the reason that they are great
is that they also have a handle but this is great for undies bras socks it can
also be used for technology cords it's a place to pack all of those things as
well and these come in a pack of four I got these sandals because they're almost
neutral like khaki looking but they're a little elevated heel and they are so
comfortable they were at DSW and there's Steven but I will link them below and
then these are my regular Merrill's that are super super old they're more for
hiking but I did not want to bring my teenie shoes and these give me a lot of
