- Hey loves, how's it going?
It's Ann.
Welcome back to my channel.
We are going to do some packing and organizing.
I just realized that looking through of my playlist of stuff
that I really enjoy making travel videos.
I love travel videos.
I think it just makes me look forward to going somewhere
and also organizing.
I feel like every time I go on a trip,
my packing has gotten better
so you guys are definitely going to find this video helpful.
And if you want to share anything with me
or anybody else watching,
make sure to leave a comment or leave your suggestions
on the bottom of this video.
So let's get started.
First, I want to show you the organizers I use
that help me hold all my essentials.
I will make sure to add links
of where I bought all these items from below this video.
To hold all my clothing,
I found these cubes in three different sizes.
The set also comes with a shoe bag,
an all-purpose bag to hold your essentials,
a laundry bag for your clothing and undergarments,
and lastly, a little accessory bag.
I bought two extra waterproof shoe bags,
a new toiletry bag, and lastly, a makeup pouch.
You'll be so surprised how much this can hold.
Alright, so it's time to pack.
I like to start with the bottoms
because they're typically more bulky.
So I often like to also mix and match a lot
and when I select my pieces,
I make sure that they're versatile in design.
For casual outfits, I'm packing a pair of relaxed jeans,
a flowy skirt for when I'm feeling whimsical,
a tailored pants for those put-together days,
leggings for comfort, and shorts on hot days.
Having a hoodie is a must for me
just in case I feel chilly, indoors or outdoors.
It's always good to pack something cozy just in case.
When it comes to packing,
I like to start with the heavier pieces
and then I go in with the lighter pieces
that are easy to squeeze between small spaces.
For this second clothing bag,
we're going to pack a dress, a romper,
two tank tops, and four T-shirts.
If you want to maximize your outfit options
without over packing, choose lighter weight clothing
that can easily roll up.
Also, select versatile colors and prints
that you can coordinate with your bottoms.
It's amazing how many outfit options I can pack
into these two cubes.
After I roll everything, I'm now going to put it into my bag
and I'm putting the romper in as the last item
because it's a weird shape.
A feature that I really love about these bags
is that they come with buckles
to prevent your clothes from unraveling.
Moving on to bag number three,
this is where I store my sleeping clothes,
underwear, socks, and swimsuit.
All the items then I'm showing you
are just the basic general items that you can bring with you
but of course, you can improvise and pack other things
depending on your trip.
For instance, if you're traveling during the winter time,
you can pack an extra sweater instead of a swimsuit.
Step four for packing essentials are shoes.
Depending on where you will be going
and what you will be doing, think about the shoes
that you want to bring with you.
Do you want to bring hiking boots?
Flats for you to switch into
if your sneakers feel uncomfortable
or high heels when you feel like
you want to dress up for a night out?
I like to bring a couple of different shoes with me
just in case my feet swells up while walking.
I can always switch into another pair.
Aside from that, having more variety
can give you more options
when it comes to mixing and matching your outfits.
I needed to upgrade to a smaller
and more compact toiletry bag.
The last one I had was double the size of this one.
I ended up packing things that I didn't really need
and it just made my bag heavier.
This bag actually holds a lot more than I thought it could.
Now I don't have to scramble looking for things.
Everything I need, all my essentials are in here.
Number six on my list of things to pack,
hair tools and an emergency kit.
Over on your right, I am packing my curling iron,
a brush, and also a body brush.
A couple of other hair products that I am not packing
with my hair bag is my gel and heat protecting spray
which I usually store with my other beauty products.
Over on the left, I'm packing other necessities
that I will probably need on the trip.
You should definitely set a bag aside
for your emergency first aid kit
or any other necessities you probably will need.
It drives me crazy whenever I go on a trip
and I forgot something, then I would have to go
to different stores and look for these items.
So this definitely saves money and time.
Number seven is a combination
of fashion and power accessories.
This can be your electronics or whatever it is,
I like to just keep them together in one compartment.
The headphones will most likely move into my carry on bag
but for now, I'm just putting this in here.
Other items that I'm going to fit into here
is my hard drive and extension cord.
I'm really excited about using this new makeup bag.
It can also be used as a toiletry bag.
It comes with a smaller zip bag inside
where you can store small items.
The way I use this is that I just flip the top down
and then I place all the bigger, bulkier items
in the middle.
After that, I would place my makeup brushes,
my lip gloss in the inside pocket.
The reason why I like this bag so much
is that all your makeup is in one compartment
and you can place this on top of the table
where you can see everything you need in front of you.
To close this up, all you have to do
is flip the bag up and pull the string.
Okay, we're all done.
Now let's pack everything together.
This is a medium sized luggage I am using here.
I'm going to start with the large and medium cube
followed by the toiletry bag on the side.
The smaller cube bag is going on top of the medium,
and then the laundry bag is going on top of the large cube.
Over on your left, I'm placing the shoe bags,
accessory bag, hair bag,
makeup bag, and then I'm going to buckle
and zip everything together inside the luggage.
Alright, so we have about two weeks worth of clothing
that you can mix and match style into different outfits.
I'm really happy with this whole new method of packing.
I feel like it's going to make my travel so much easier.
Sometimes, when you have things all over the place,
it just feels overwhelming.
So by simplifying your life
and just packing the essentials you need for a trip
can really make a huge difference
to your overall experience.
