hey there this weekend I will travel for an overnight trip with some girls I
refer to this travel bag as an overnight bag or a weekender bag several my
subscribers have noticed this weekender bag in a couple of my videos and they
asked me to do a video of reviewing it or showing how I pack and I think that
people want to know how you pack just so they can have a guide so I'm going to
tell you how I pack in this week in your bag and then you have your own
creativity your own ideas that are sparked from my guide of how I pack in
this travel bag stick around on the end of on the won bonus of traveling with a
week in your bag I thought about taking my toiletry bag or my hanging bag that I
do take on road trip sometimes but I feel like there is not enough space for
those and I want to pack in pouches now I'm a big pouch girl in my carry-on
suitcase as well the first tip I would say is to make sure you store things
horizontally in your pouch like don't store them standing up you will save
space just like in a liquids bag if I was going on an airplane these pouches
are two Christmases old but you can see that there are a large size for this
weekender bag and my largest pouch is what I'm going to put like my skincare
products in my hair care products my shampoo my mousse my deodorant my
moisturizer and then as far as makeup goes I'm going to carry my foundation
make it cosmetics awesome foundation and then my eye primer for to keep my
eyeshadow on all day and then my lotion and then just my basic amount of makeup
blush two colors of eyeshadow and my brushes are you so excited that you get
to travel with your regular sized bottle of shampoo sometimes for me it is harder
to pack in a weekender bag or for a two-day trip than it is for like a 10
day trip in a carry-on suitcase like most packing list dilemmas shoes take up
the most space in our travel bag so I checked the weather and there is a 40%
chance of rain in the afternoon and this is the month of May in Texas we're
driving four hours to the hill country so it's gonna be about sixty at night so
because of that I'm going to pack my like good walking shoes because we want
to walk around town more antique stores these shoes take up less space and they
aren't tinny shoes that I would wear with I'm gonna take like pattern shorts
and little tops like this or cute graphic tees something like that for
shoes I am going to take like sandals like that that can get wet and then like
a canvas shoe that is comfortable to walk around in and still looks cute with
a nice pair of shorts and then I also recommend what I'm gonna do one night is
wear my white jeans since I never take white jeans on the airplane is booties
when you're in Texas or when you're going on a girls trip and you want to be
casual but cute the urge to wear cowboy boots is so strong but booties are a
good alternative there are all different kinds of colors they are comfortable
because a lot of them have a low heel and then some of them have holes in
these I love how airy these are my feet don't sweat in these shoes
but I don't think I can find a link for them I'm going to use these shoes to
make a frame around the base of my bag and then I will wear my tennis shoes in
the car for travel for a weekend I am going to
use these containers that I bought before my beach trip a couple of weeks
ago they can squish and they are similar to my trusty cylinder disks that I use
they have a lot of space almost the depth of your thumb and then but they're
squishy and what I did like about them is they came in they are twist tops but
they come in these like these this style but then there's one that is a little
smaller it's plastic but it has a seal on top and it doesn't like pop down or
cover or stick to it but it is a little seal you can see the leftover cleaning
lotion is so hard in these things but I'm going to try that since I'm not
going on an airplane there's not going to be pressurization this is a good way
to save space pack some of my liquids I mean I could
even pack um shampoo in here instead of taking my full bottle of shampoo in my
smallest pouch I do take like my hair keep back thing my makeup remember cloth
remover cloth and then like flaw sticks and I am NOT going to be swimming this
weekend but to the beach I took this little travel-size razor I love it
the good thing about Venus by Gillette is it has this film on it so you don't
need soap but it's a good quickie if you need to fix something this week in her
bag is large enough to hold three rolls of paper towels from Costco I wanted my
overnight bag to be manageable because I was not going to be rolling it
everywhere I was going to have to be carrying it so I wanted it to be large
enough but manageable I bought this one a couple of months ago just to try it
out because it has this pocket on the outside that will fit over your suitcase
handles and I was shocked at the quality and the capacity of a storage in here I
wanted to show you what I do like about this Travel weekender bag and why I'm
not sending it back to Amazon the feet on this bag are high-quality the
hardware is just it's top-notch it's secure it's not too brassy looking you
have this where you can you can hook it all the way down if you have like a
small amount of things to carry there is this shoulder strap and then I like I
just love the wide black and white stripes like crazy but for me for a
potential bag on the airplane there's this outer thing that sits over your
handles of your suitcase and in it is a little pocket which I just think is cool
you could like stuff your passport in there until you get to the gate and then
put it more securely somewhere it's just an easy quick high-quality product
I felt like now the inside is all black and I have some friends on Instagram
travel tips by Lari who don't like a black interior but it's fun for my needs
there are loose open pockets and then there's also an inside zipped
pocket anyway so when I do travel with a suitcase I can still be hands-free which
is my number one thing walking through the airport and don't know if I'm going
to have room for it but I hope to pack my monogrammed waffle weave robe it's
short enough and the sleeves are short enough and it's cool enough to wear in
the summer like in the morning when we're all lounging around at night I
hope that I can fit this in there our friend is bringing us she tried to do it
as a surprise but she's bringing us girls trip t-shirts I don't know what
color they're gonna be so I'm going to have like a navy pair of shorts a khaki
pair of shorts and then a floral pair of shorts maybe hmm now what I'm thinking
about it I might just stick to solids and then a graphic tee I have a rainbow
shirt that I like and then my white jeans we made reservations to somewhere
for the first night so some we're gonna use that as our kind of dressed up night
but not not bad while we're traveling in the car I am gonna have a hoodie inside
the car so I don't have to pack it in there and if it's a little chilly for
air-conditioning because women like at all temperatures I can throw on that
hoodie and not be freezing cold I also packed my nail file carrier now this
comes with like a glass nail file but I like using the emery board but it's just
something you don't think about going for a girls trip if you cut a nail you
need help and then I have my little small box for little pills my valium ins
I always like to take like a zyrtec and I'm allergic to something in the house
or in that area of the state or country and then like a Tylenol if I get a hey
sometimes I also like to pack a vial of eyedrops just because my eyes get dry
sometimes and then also don't forget to pack your chargers your charger from the
wall in your house mine is a little cumbersome to get that plug unplugged
I'm like turn it upside down to get the plug out of the wall so I'll just like
taking my power bank and the similar power banks to this one this one
gives you two full charges like as if you were flying across the ocean but
that's how I charge my phone when I'm on like a weekend trip okay the number one
bonus of traveling with a weekender bag for a short trip is to remember that you
will also have a purse so choose your largest purse or a purse that can house
like you're charging cord your fingernail file thing your pills maybe I
don't know just think of what pouches could go in that purse
some of you may have like a backpack purse you could carry that kind of thing
I hope this gives you lots of tips and inspiration and I hope you have a group
of friends that you can travel with sometime make it a priority and be
vulnerable with them and share all the love and share your packing tips be sure
