a comment thanks for watching let's get into this video as you can see i'm in the beautiful
Norway let's see if you can see this gorgeous countryside you can see how beautiful Norway is
it's so gorgeous it's a february time so this is sort of like the winter break everybody goes to
the countryside and goes skiing or goes on holiday and um so we are here in my family's my parents um
which is uh the hut the cabin um it's a large log cabin with pine
and we've had it 17 or 18 years now so i remember when it was being built it was amazing um
so let's get started with everything i brought here in the bathroom that is my tsa pouch and
i did link an alternative in that video so make sure you check out my suggestions because
i do have up-to-date suggestions in that amazon travel hacks video that shows everything that's
in stock this unfortunately has sold out numerous times since my original travel video and remains
out of stock at the moment so i wouldn't count on this bag being available but i found an even
better one that i kind of like when this one bites the dust i'm gonna go for that one so
let's get started in this toiletry bag i have a travel perfume and this is my baccarat
rouge 450 i can't remember what it's called um i just happen to have it in a travel size i also put
anything liquid anything that's spreadable cons is considered a liquid according to the american tsa
so uh i've got my concealer and then my laura mercier travel tinted moisturizer in here
i also have my gooey lip balm this is my linen goods this is really really good i don't even know
if i said that right toothpaste travel toothpaste i've got one of these in my avid calendar this
year this year or last year i can't remember this is i think it's this year frank body charcoal face
cleanser it says uh travel friendly so i was sure to pack that in my tsa pouch i've got this is a
godsend if you are going anywhere that is a colder climate it is so helpful because i've got i've
got lipstick on this so you don't see it right now but i'm super chapped on the upper lip just
from all the harsh elements and wind um it's like minus i don't know between minus five and minus
seven right now which is pretty mild for um Norway winter time because it is gonna start warming up
soon so this is the event sickle fate restorative skin cream it's super thick it's super creamy
and it comes out almost like a paste and warms up in your fingers and on your skin
you put it on and it's sort of like a moisture barrier i really like it i'm just using up
whatever travel stuff i have so this is the Oskia renaissance cleansing gel i've been using that
think about like okay so i come from houston texas right so i tend to like like anything that won't
make me super oily that won't break me out i won't tend to always use something like a cleansing gel
or like a cleansing balm but you got to think like you're in the mindset of where you're going
to be going so if you're going somewhere really tropical you want to go for something really light
fresh and then places like norway or anywhere where you're going to go skiing or it's harsh
uh winter environment then you're going to want to choose some really emollient balmy type things
i'm really glad i did because that's been a godsend i actually used that
more towards the latter half of the trip and i used this more towards the first half of
the trip because i just feel like with travel you tend to like break out and there's just
so much going on and stress and um you know whatever you're just encountering different
things different environments and so you want to make sure you purify your skin
i haven't used this so much but the body lotion i decanted is from Tula and it is my favorite
smelling body lotion of all time this is in a squeezy tube i think it's called a go-to
i'll link these down below but they're two fluid ounces a piece and i have that and then i have my
actually my shampoo is in the fridge and fridge in the shower let me go get it i'm actually going to
take this out to dry it right now because it's got it's kind of wet so in here i actually decanted
some herbal essences like strawberry scented shampoo along with something from whole foods or
central market that was like a rosemary thickening shampoo so i actually like ended up mixing two
different scents and it smells good i don't know i'm not sure if i would do it again but it was
kind of a fun way to experiment folding toothbrush i just left it in here if i couldn't fit it i put
it in my non tsa pouch but you can fit so much in this pouch that it i mean it's borderline
it's borderline like too much but it really does it's i've never had any issues with it
super spot remover i love this because this is not even a travel size this is the full size product
it's an origins product that you put like very little oven at salicylic acid
treatment gel put it on a pimple and within a couple of days it's completely gone i highly
recommend it and super travel friendly um then i have my normal i didn't want to miss mess up my
routine with my different gel i've been using it and it's been doing wonders for my skin so i kept
doing that every other day um because my skin is becoming quite accustomed to it i felt comfortable
continuing it but i wouldn't start a retinoid treatment on a trip to a harsh environment i
haven't used this but it's in here and i always have it in here it's the estee lauder advanced
night repair in a very small miniature bottle i always keep a decongestant in case i have to use
it i you don't want to use something like this all the time but this one is my favorite it's afrin no
drip moisturizing--extra moisturizing--12 hour oxy metazolene hydrochloride and then i brought a face
oil because i knew my skin was gonna get dry and actually already put it on today before my makeup
it's fantastic this is the colleen rothschild face oil number two highly recommend it does
come in a glass bottle so be careful but i haven't had any issues now i'm going to pack everything
so you can see how it goes tend to put the taller items in first so that they can kind of stack this
one is going to go on the bottom if you want to you can even think about the order in which
you're placing things so that they're easily accessible on the plane but really it's such
it's such a breeze when you get the right toiletry pouch like using a ziploc bag i never will do that
again this is so much better you could fit so much more it's still within regulation and you don't
have to check a suitcase to bring extra liquids which is phenomenal now i will say bearing in mind
i'm staying in a place that we have things like we have towels we have a hair dryer we have um
you know we just have like certain amenities like uh we i keep like snow pants and um things
like that here and i understand that that's not the situation for most people most people will
be staying in like a hotel or airbnb where you're not gonna have a lot of those things just already
there for you so you know sometimes you just have to check your luggage it just has to happen
in order for you know the duration we have a washing machine so i only brought a couple of
pairs of clothes and that's it and i've been washing my clothes every few days so that that
i will caveat this okay this is not like this is not like you know how to pack light and like
you know for every situation okay and this is my other pouch and this is my non-tsa toiletry pouch
this is all like non-liquids and i have things like a stick foundation um which and you know
brushes i actually have another toothbrush in here which has my hair on it for some reason um i have
my divacup hairbrush this is the mini wet brush i found this last minute like two days before i left
for the trip and i was so happy about that i have hair tie i have more brushes i have a brow pencil
travel laura mercier makeup powder which i never used i have a travel compact razor which is
helpful um just like all the little mini things that i've gotten in advent calendars i take these
with me like i have a bra another brush i have a brush that folds up and extends to brush my
eyelash extensions out stick eyeshadow in case i felt like putting it on i actually brought
too many brushes and then i have some face masks for the flight which i never use i always think
i'm going to and i never do this is the native one and this is coconut vanilla which is a really nice
smelling one so that's my toiletries stuff and then because i knew i was going to be on my cycle
during this trip i also brought slavery here these which are i think i'm actually going to leave
these here so that i don't have to deal with these if i'm ever back next time i'll remember that i
have some here and these are just compact tampons um a menstrual disc that i tried out which i
wouldn't really recommend but it was good to have in just in case i started my period on the plane
um the nice thing about those over a menstrual cup is that you don't have to rinse it out and
like reuse it which can be a little bit tricky in public restrooms or on like a plane and stuff it's
kind of not really like what i was i wasn't vibing with that um so i brought the discs i had one in
just in case i didn't need it but then i could just throw it away which was nice maybe that's
too much information but i'm going to leave those here and then menstrual cup back in my non tsa
pouch i'll link everything down below everybody always asks about this pouch i don't even know
if it's still available but this is the taurus one which is my birth sign star sign zodiac sign
all right so now i'm going to show you my backpack which i think
is sort of the most interesting aspect of this because i already showed how i packed my carry-on
and it was um like my rolling luggage and it was super useful so i have all my tech stuff
out but um i did end up bringing instead let me tell you what i swapped i swapped out my yellow
travel wallet and i didn't really want to but in the end i decided that i needed like a small
purse to carry around because i didn't want to carry around this backpack and i needed stuff to
put like my passport my cards my phone everything in and then just like happy hands-free so if that
wallet had had a little like a long body strap on it it would have been absolutely perfect but
since i found that while i was here i was going to be needing those things i decided to end up going
for the Chanel wallet on chain and though it's not my preferred choice um anything that you can find
that does have like a little area to kind of store everything is really useful and i popped one of my
little chain shorteners on there which i've talked about in previous videos and in here i've got just
like money in different currencies that i've just collected over the years i've got my passports
here i did end up putting that little mini narwhal pen in here and i have used it and then i have
like my vaccine cdc vaccine card and a little protective holder just to make sure it didn't get
bunged up and so far it's been really nice i can even fit the this Samsung galaxy s22 ultra in
this um wallet let me show you yeah it's puffed up but i don't really care because i'm getting
use out of it which i know i never use this thing i actually brought this one in particular because
i never use my gray labor wallet on chain um i was gonna bring the black one but then i was like you
know what this thing needs to have some fun so it's been really useful i've really enjoyed it
and it's chalked full like to the brim like close it it doesn't open but it's like super heavy and
it's at the perfect length with my chains uh shortener so it's like this which is great
so that is what i have in there and then i just this hand this pan back this backpack has been so
flipping useful let me bring you closer here
so the front pockets have been where i've kept like boarding passes and uh passports and stuff
um here's a receipt for something you know just breath freshener tablets documents
um pens antibacterial wipes they picked up in the airport what else my air pods are in here
yeah it's really great i've really i'm really pleased with this backpack it's been
super useful super helpful i was actually able to unzip it all the way flat like this
here and i was able to go through american tsa without having to take anything out of my backpack
being pre-checked that was really helpful and they were able to see everything pretty clearly um
yeah it's been super helpful i've been reading a lot on my kindle i haven't used my ipad or my
nintendo switch once but you know it's there if i want to use it which is what's really helpful
so um yeah everything's been really good i hope that you enjoyed this little update
here's my kindle i've already finished an entire book that i started before i left and i love that
um my tech pouch here is charging i'm charging my spare battery on this vlogging camera this has
been really helpful this little pink multi like braided cord thing because i added this little
adapter on i don't remember where i got this but i wish it would be usb a vers like and usb-c that
would make it like the perfect cable but you've got like lightning you've got usbc and you've got
micro usb so this is pretty much everything in one cable right here which is amazing i've charged my
laptop and my phones with it um the only thing i haven't really used is my gopro maybe i'll
use that today when i go skiing a little bit but other than that i've pretty much used everything
except my nintendo switch and my mini ipad i haven't used either of those things
but yeah i hope you enjoyed this video please like it if you um enjoyed it if you found it
helpful like an update on what i really used and what i ended up truly bringing um and uh yeah i
