hey there today I am sharing travel organizers what works and which ones do
not work today I'm going to show you some of the travel organizers that I use
and I will also show you the ones that are kind of unnecessary for my travel
process or system I'm going to show you what really works for me and then other
things that you can do on your own or that you don't have to buy these are
pouches they have compartments they help you categorize what you pack
organization for packing is helpful as long as you do not lose space in your
suitcase with all of these items I'm going to show you so put on your
thinking cap and figure out which ones you need and which ones you can do with
that the most important the very best organization thing that I use when I
travel is my packing cubes they help me organize my outfit by days of when I'm
traveling you can even categorize them with colors different colors for
different family members and they also squish and smush so that I can pack more
in my suitcase because I crammed those packing cubes to a certain area I do not
know if I was going to like packing cubes so I bought a cheaper version and
they worked fine for three years they come with three different sized cubes a
shoe bag in a laundry bag you can organize shoes as well by buying some
shoe organizers for travel you can also use the free newspaper bag put your
shoes in there you can even pack your shoes in shower caps or the cheap ones
from the dollar store these were on Amazon and I think they come in a pack
of four a few years ago I did buy a travel cord and technology accessory
organizer I feel like it is too bulky it can't smush and squish so I don't
ever use this but I do like that it comes in compartments but for me I don't
want to wind my cords up that small to fit them in there another option for you
that I have recently used is a gear tie and these are really hard to twist but
they stay in that position so you can wrap up your cords and then
just wrap this little tie around them kind of like a zip tie but you don't
need scissors I packed my headphones in this type of organizer it's just large
and I can kind of wind them up and then just smush them and they are one-handed
use like you're supposed to be able to pop them up like that you can also use
that for a pill organizer speaking of pill organizers they do have really cute
ones if you only use a few but I also was gifted one similar to this and then
I did a review on it and this is their updated version number one thing is it
zips it's large enough for you to carry them they have a little notebook the
baggies in here are wide enough for my husband's fingers that was my con of the
last one but I can fit three fingers in this baggie to organize my pills and
they are by de that kind of thing if it helps you I do have several videos on
travel hack ideas and there are a couple that have to do with headphones and I
will link those below I will link one of them in the I cards up here if you're
watching me on your iPhone you can just click show more the upside down triangle
and that'll show you everything I'm talking about one of them is called 23
travel hacks and that is from before I was travel tips by Lori it's my old
youtube channel and the quality and the sound is not that good but it is my
number one most watched video so check that out if you are brave enough to most
people organize their toiletries for travel in some way I do have a toiletry
bag to me this organizer is too large for my carry-on suitcase for a trip I
just pack in pouches I usually have a pouch for my makeup my dry toiletries
and then one for my tools I did find the Mac Daddy eyes shadow brush organizer I
got burned a long time ago by telling a company I would review a bunch of their
products and they were awful and their eyeshadow brush container was terrible
but I had to review it anyway and I did give it an honest opinion but this one
is phenomenal they also have slats in here if you don't want your brushes to
move around but when you get to your hotel it totally stands up on its own
and this upper part that zips everything together for organization is mushy but
the bottom part is a little stiff but it still could smush and squish if you need
it to in your suitcase I am a pilot wife and we travel a lot that's why I have so
many travel tips for you to help you travel the globe without a worry in the
world if you have not subscribed be sure to
hit the bell beside subscribe and you will receive a free video every week
well approximately once a week because we just got a puppy but anyway and some
of those videos are with my old channel Larry Popp but now I produce videos that
are exclusively for travel tips I just bought this new travel toothbrush
because it folds into a small container the bristles are clean and protected I
feel like I'm holding a regular sized toothbrush which is why I used to travel
with my regular toothbrush and just the little travel lid but because it's so
long it sticks out of my little pouches that I pack in so I can recommend this
one now if you do not like using the paper cups in your hotel room you can
pack a smoosh able travel mug you can also pack an aluminum mug to take with
you if you have the space you can also travel with a bottle that collapses to
an almost flat position I also have that I'm too lazy to go get it and then don't
forget the hack that you can freeze your water and go through security with your
own water from your house and then once you get through security as it melts you
can drink it if you're traveling with the dog or if you just need it they also
make collapsible bowls and this is what I'm going to be using when we travel
with our dog for snacks or for water it does collapse and this is a sealable lid
these help you stay organized because they take up less space I have never
bought a travel curling iron because it does not save that much space for me my
curling iron half-inch is 12 inches and the travel ones that they have are
nine inches and there's one that's 11 inches so you have to balance whether or
not that's going to be useful for you they do come with the pouches that you
can store them in if they are super hot you can also use a cotton sock if that
helps or up glove I keep mentioning saving space in your suitcase while I'm
talking about organization I think they go hand in hand let me know if you agree
with that as part of my travel organization I like using different
sized containers for my liquids Holly what did you do with my shampoo holder I
always will recommend over and over the go tub brand containers for liquids they
hold this is a two and a half one and they also have a three point four one
but this holds enough shampoo for me for a ten day trip because I will use my own
shampoo and then on an off day I might use the hotel Hotel shampoo but these
have never leaked these containers have like a a double lock system I got burned
by using a great one with the same kind of squishy material from a grocery store
and it only lasted three trips terrible so I can recommend those I also like to
use these these come in a set of five I stored shampoo in this one upside down
overnight and it did not leak so I can vouch for that and took it with me and
then they also have these little plastic ones that have a little lid it does not
snap but if you had some little moisturizer like a very tiny amount that
you needed to put in there I want to know what kind of liquids you do store
in your liquid containers I also have these old-school ones that are totally
plastic that a store my really thick lotion in it is gold bond for diabetics
it's super super thick you can see how much smaller it is for my liquids bag
compared to a travel size that is two point four ounces so much smaller I also
like traveling with a unique liquids bag your bag for TSA liquids needs to be a
quart size and clear ish I also got this liquids
bag from my flag girl subscription box and I love that it says plain to see get
it but I do not like using these containers at all so I will not use
these maybe the little squirt ones but I just I do not trust them I would only
use this type my little set on Amazon comes in a package of 12 if that helps
you and there's another cute one with a pink
airplane that I will also link below I have used this type of wallet for my
credit card organization for airline travel and then I also have used this
one but it's a little floppy but it does carry a whole lot of cards but recently
I bought this it is a minimalist little thing that also has a pocket for cash it
has a pocket on this side and for your ID it comes in a ton of color so check
those out if that is for you I have a great video on travel safety so click on
that in the iCard or down below I have a couple of crossbody bags to help me
organize my eyeglasses and wallet once I get to my destination I pack it inside
my personal item bag and then pull it out when I get to my destination I just
like an open open concept they also have fanny packs now or belt bags that are
great especially if you need a safe space in your personal item and you
don't have room for a crossbody bag they would go easily under your jacket and if
you're trying to get past a person tickity gate agent you can just turn it
around and they won't see that you have this extra bag belted to your belt a
long time ago I invest it in a jewelry organizer I do like that as squishes but
it is large the thing I like about pouches is you can smush and squish them
in between your packing cubes or in that little bitty pocket of your suitcase
that you have an open space in there's also this kind of organizer that rolls
up but again I have another travel hack for that that you can use the thing I
like about this type of jewelry organizer is they're organized and
the rubber bands are so tight that when you shake them they will not get tangled
the necklaces do not budge but I am a minimalist when it comes to packing
jewelry on a vacation I don't take very much at all I also do not think a
passport organizer is necessary I got this with my fly girls subscription
subscription box as well and I'm gonna donate it to someone it does have
compartments but I just don't think you need it use those passports put them
underneath your jeans in that or in the lanyard passport holder keep those in
another secure location and just safe space you know when you were traveling
somewhere and you want to treat yourself to something I treated myself to an
infinity scarf with a hidden pocket your passport and your wallet or whatever you
mean your I glasses they fit in this hidden pocket so you are hands-free and
you don't have to worry about that love these new things and there are like 30
different patterns if that interests you now having a personal item bag that has
organization inside it is helpful to a lot of you let me tell you what I do not
like about these two personal item bags my weekender bag is a cavernous pit and
it is all black on the inside so I need to use bright pouches like this my tech
organizer pouch I need to use bright pouches like this inside those that one
to see it it does hold a little more than my usual backpack that I take when
I travel but the backpack what I like about that is that it has two sections
so I'm not opening up the entire part to just get my wallet my minimalist wallet
pouch and my backpack has the inside pockets but there are none that zip and
I wish that my inside pockets zipped I do like having the back pocket of stuff
that I never need to even get to it's just an extension of my suitcase so I am
mainly in my backpack just opening that front pouch and for some reason
sometimes I'm in the mood to just take my backpack but then other times I'm in
the mood to take my weekender bag my weekender bag does
fit over the suitcase handles which I love because I'm a big fan of being
hands-free in the airport but if your bag gets checked in the belly of the
plane you're stuck having that weekender bag on your shoulder so just something
to think about and that little slip that does fit over that suitcase handles it
does have a pocket for like whatever essentials you really need to get to and
that's where I could put my wallet I guess okay you have a travel organizer
share it with all of us below and I really do appreciate your time and your
smart thinking when you're organizing your packing inside your suitcase thanks
again
