If you have a fragile sticker or a tag handy
You can try putting this on your luggage
next time you travel
Not only will it hopefully cause the baggage handlers to be more careful
with your baggage
no guarantees though
but it might also get you your luggage first
after you land
basically your luggage being fragile
is most likely to result to it being placed near the top
of the luggage pile
that way you also be most likely the first to come out first
either way it can't hurt to try
(music)
I love reading books on flights
but sometimes my eyes get really dry and irritable
so a really great hack
is to download an audio book prior to your trip
and then listening to it whilst in the air
I partnered with Audible
for this video
and Audible has a great selection
of audio books for you to try
personally, I love this book called
"Leap First" by Seth Godin
which I'm listening to right now
the best thing about audible
is that it isn't a streaming service
you actually download your books
and then own them on your device
that means you can access them anytime, anywhere
even if you don't have an internet connection
at the moment audible is offering a free
audio book with a 30 day trial membership
so just visit ^^^
and try it for yourself

If you are going away on a trip
your plants might end up under water
and a little sad looking by the time
you get back
but all you need to do to prevent this is a plastic bottle
and a cork screw
first start with making a small hole on your bottle lid
You want to make it just the right size
so that a drop of water comes out every now and again
when its time to leave
give your plants a final water
and then place your bottle upside down
on any plants you want watered
whilst your gone
and you'll slowly water your plants over time
thats it, its so easy and hopefully
you can save a plants lives, because I've killed many
(music)
if you forget to bring shaving cream on your trip
or just simply just want to save some space
you can actually use hair conditioner instead
I tried it, and it worked
and for some reason my skin felt even smoother
than when I use regular shaving cream
Which is so strange to me
so I'll definitely be using this one in the future
(music)
my jewelry and accessories always get so tangled during my trips
and I'm always loosing things because it's so hard to organize them
but you can actually organize your accessories super easily
with a medicine pill box
they usually come with 7 compartments for each day of the week
so you can even pre-plan what accessory you want to wear
for each day you want
But generally, the boxes are sturdy and waterproof so you don't need to worry about your stuff getting damaged
And it keeps each seperate piece from tangling together
(music)
I dunno why, but when I put shirts in the luggage, they always come out creased
especially on the collars and the sleeves
no one is really gonna pack an iron in their suitcase because its so heavy
but you might have brought along a hair straightener which works just as well
just run your hair straightener along any stubborn crease marks a few times, and they will just smooth out
(music)
This actually works really well, and it's so convenient
Because I normally bring a hair straightener anyways.
Just be careful not to burn yourself whilst doing this
It can get a bit fiddle-y
(music)
During trips I always find it best to use a separate bag to keep your dirty clothes
But whenever I accidentally open the bag,
the smell hits me and...
Not going to lie, it's pretty awful.
But a great way to fix this is simply to place a
dryer sheet or two with your dirty clothes.
Unfortunately, it won't clean them
but it will make the smell much more bearable.
(music)
Getting lost in a different country is the worst feeling.
So to prevent this from happening, you can easily keep track of your location,
even without WiFi or mobile data usage
which can get expensive
Before your trip, go into Google Maps on your phone
and find an area you'll be travelling in
then type in "ok maps" and it'll allow you to download the entire map onto your phone
give your map a name and wait for the download to finish
now when you're actually travelling
you can just open up your saved map
