hi everyone welcome to FRAKKING CREATIONS a channel where we show you
the good stuff my husband and I are getting ready for a three week trip to
Europe this coming April visiting Italy France and the Netherlands we have our
history of traveling to various destinations nationally and abroad
however this is our first time together traveling to Europe for three weeks so
what in the world to you pack for three weeks for toiletries especially when you
have to follow strict liquid restrictions when traveling by plane to
your destination in this video I'm going to share with you some of my traveling
tips and essentials when it comes to toiletries if you need a quick list of
the items that was packed in this video referred to the video description below
for liquid toiletries whenever I go to the airport I try to pick up an extra 1
to 2 of these bags for future travel this is great for figuring out what you
need and not what you want to bring as you will have to make the tough call on
what is in and out of this bag in Canada the restriction is that your liquids
need to comply with being in a container a hundred milliliters or less and
fitting within this 1 liter bag to save you from being questioned by security it
is best to put your liquids in containers that are labeled like these
whatever air carrier you take to whichever Airport I highly recommend
checking their website to see if they have updated information on liquid
restrictions as these rules can change overall here are the toiletries I'll be
bringing the way I like to pack toiletries is to refer to my regular
routine to remember what I need also as a tip I like laying out everything that
I need onto my bed to see what I have to determine if I need anything else or if
I have to pare down I like to bring my electric toothbrush for days of eating
sugar and carb heavy meals to get a good clean I like to use a regular extra soft
toothbrush for the morning or to have on the plane
don't forget dental floss and toothpaste for the toothpaste these are items I
typically get from the dentist so this is the best time to save and use these
on trips we get shampoo and conditioner I won't bring what's in these bottles
currently feel free to use what's in the bottles and then put in your favorite
shampoo and conditioner I tested the shampoo bottle between
myself and my husband and it has lasted 18 days in total with both of us using a
quarter size of the amount each also we like this type of bottle as the nozzle
makes it easier to squeeze out the shampoo if you don't always want to wash
your hair don't forget to bring a shower cap body wash in this case this also
doubles for me as a face wash and I personally bring my loofah shaver and
bring an extra shaver blade put your shaver in a plastic bag in case things
are still wet from the shaver and you have to get to your next destination for
body hygiene remember you can substitute these liquid items with dry shampoo and
conditioner a bar soap if you have other more important liquids to bring the
liquid shampoo conditioner and soap are my own creature comforts and personal
preferences after shower I like to use dry deodorant lit chap to keep my lips
moist q-tips tweezers small bottles of lotion for hands baby powder which I use
if I run out of lotion for my body I also bring a face moisturizer for the
evening and if you're traveling for 3 weeks
you definitely want to bring a nail clipper I personally bring liquid tears
in this case refreshed tears as my eyes have a tendency to get dry and planes
are the worst for pumping out dry air and on my last trip I was using these
babies a lot I like to bring foot pads for long days of walking and I want to
rest my feet also bring a comb elastic bands and bobby pins to put up your hair
and if you find this bring a hair hold sheet these are fantastic to keep your
hair out of your face when you're washing your face applying makeup or
keeping your hair out of your face bring tissues especially if you have the
tendency to have a runny nose I know I do if you don't want to bring liquid
sanitizer you can also bring disposable cloth hand sanitizers first aid kit
basics bring some band-aids polysporin and hydrocortisone cream I would
recommend you book an appointment with a travel consultant doctor or pharmacist
for advice on medicines or items to bring when traveling to another country
and what items to bring to build a thorough and comprehensive first-aid kit
whenever we stayed at hotels or Airbnb there always seems to be a shortage of
folks for clothes so if you can find a portable hook like this one I recommend
bringing it especially if you like to hang a lot of items and a stain pen if
traveling with additional people consider bringing toiletries that you
can share it a safe space my husband is traveling with me so in his toiletry bag
he's also going to bring these items sunscreen lotion a refillable perfume
bottle hair gel that we both can use blistering for stinky breath
some other items you don't see here that he'll be bringing are a small bottle of
detergent to hand wash clothes if necessary as we're only bringing a
week's worth of clothes for a three week trip keep in mind - you don't have to be
super prepared like me as this is my own personal preference if you're going to a
hotel like we are if the hotel has decent lotion shampoo conditioner body
wash and soap you can use those two to get by during a long trip especially if
you find that you're running out of supplies on your end always know that
you can buy all these items in these countries and you just need to be
flexible with what you get in this display I kept all my liquids within the
same area to find out how much I have and whether or not I need to substitute
any with dry versions of them or eliminate some I had to pack them into
the one liter bag to find out whether all of this would fit now let's see if all this fits
Music]
yes it does there is a technique to get all this to fit as you can see it's like
playing Tetris where the key is to shape the bag like a cylinder and to have
items that are flexible packed into the smaller crevices of the bag keep in mind
I won't be packing these items into my carry-on luggage instead I will be
packing this liquids bag into my personal item bag as from my experience
in flying from Canada to another province or country I've had to take out
my liquids bag and put it into the security bins that you put your stuff in
when you go through security it's way easier to put the liquids in your
personal item bag then your carry-on luggage where you have to go through the
hassle of and zipping the whole luggage trust me when you're at security you
should have everything readily accessible as security lines go pretty
fast and this is a way to reduce stress when going through security later on in
our trip we will be moving from hotel to hotel and country to country I like
putting my toiletries in a waterproof bag when I stay at the hotel so just in
case things get wet in the washroom I can easily wipe and sanitize these bags
as I move from place to place I try to avoid fabric bags as sometimes you may
be in a hurry to pack and may drop your bag on the dirty floor or that your
liquids may explode hasn't happened to me yet knock on wood if the cap wasn't
sealed on tight thanks for watching our video and if you want to stay tuned for
