    We travel often and I’ve learned a few new toiletry tips here, so thank you! Another tip is a solid perfume or /fragrance ‘stick’, to avoid filling atomizers with liquid perfume.

    Isn't it wild that interior designers for hotels & airbnbs NEVER put enough hooks or mirrors!? It's just so interesting to me. Like they themselves have never traveled...

    • @TheoryofSimple
      @TheoryofSimple  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Agree! It blows my mind. Every time I travel how few hooks there are, when in traveling, that’s what you need the most in your room.! I guess a lot of people will just hang things on hangers but if you have a couple of people in a room you need to hang up towels and I don’t like throwing them over the shower door or the shower curtain. Or if you brought a robe or pajamas, you just want to hang up…🤷‍♀️

      Hooks on doors are generally not desired by hotels as they make the door drop. Hooks on walls are better, but often incomes down to cost. Like that extra olive on the airline salad...it's all about cost saving

      @Avery12556 - For about 20 years now, I've had flip flops in my carry-on for hotel or cruise ship floors. They take up almost no room, and they do double duty for the pool and the beach, too. Also have a pair of soft ballet style cloth slippers, too, which I use on a long flight. Sometimes you just don't feel like wearing shoes the whole time on the plane. I can easily hand wash them (with my non-liquid laundry sheets) when I get to my destination, and they dry fairly quickly.

    Great swaps . I soak liquid sunblock in wipes when I know I will need a lot in a sun climate. Mosquito spray also on soaked wipes . I also cut my fav soaps, body , acne bar,and face soaps in 1/3 - just enough to last for a 7-10 day trip and put in a single soap case. That mood light is a great item on your Amazon store . I’ve also run into walls when getting up at night. A motion night light also works well on route to a hotel bathroom.

I also have single use hand sanitizers that are tiny and fit in a pocket or purse. as far as tooth care goes I like wisps they don't count for liquid even thought hey have the toothpaste right on them, i have a solid sunscreen as well. and i carry wet naps for hand washing if I am not near a sink.

    I am allergic to most soaps, but I found a nice handmade soap from a small company that I just love. It comes in a bar, so I figured out that I can fit a bar of my favorite soap into the very smallest size Stashers bag. It is perfect. I can actually use that bar for bodywash, shampoo, and hand washing some laundry if I need to. I also use a bar facial cleanser and I have cut some smaller pieces of those bars with a bread knife and then I can actually fit my soap, face bar, and bar shampoo and bar conditioner all inside the little Stasher bag. They’re different colors and I don’t mind if they touch. A contact lens case can hold enough facial moisturizer cream and face serum cream for a few days. I don’t use the toothpaste tablets enough to be worth spending the extra money on, so I just make my own by squeezing little bits of toothpaste onto parchment paper and then popping them into the oven on warm, or the dehydrator works great too if you have one. I don’t fly very often, usually driving, but I don’t want to bring a huge bag when I’m staying at a friend’s house, so I usually pack in one of the airplane backpack carryon, so I do like to keep things as small and tidy as possible.

    Not only is it tough to travel internationally when they make you use the dreaded ziploc (looking at London Heathrow), but when you have super sensitive, acne-prone skin or really finicky hair like I do, then there are certain liquids and essentials I just can't seem to give up.

I say it’s always possible to pack carry-on only even for longer days however, everyone needs her different.. for example, if you have to bring a lot of medication or something that may take up a lot of room in your luggage. However, that being said, if you are strategic about what you wear on the plane and put a capsule wardrobe together in your personal carry-on and carry-on luggage, you can get away with carry-on luggage for any trip.. especially for a five day trip. It should be pretty easy to pack Kahn only.💕😊

    I have lived outside my home country on/off since the 80s. A crystal type deodorant lasts a long time, travels well and I keep in a small plastic bag. I have a full sized one that has lasted ten years. I use small powdered, cream cosmetics, they are in containers about the size of a US quarter and last years. Lotion I just take a travel size of have been able to find the one I use at a drugstore or grocery when I arrive. Since the quart sized bag system came around I have used a clear bag that closes with a zipper, bonus is that is is about 2" wide and stands on the counter. I make my own bug spray and bring a container of it or just plan to cover up, every place I have been sells travel sized if I needed. I have bar shampoo/conditioner from Lush or Chagrin Valley Soaps. I really don't have many things that are liquids to be concerned about. Like the metal hanger. Some place will not allow that in carry on. A recent we have gotten is Grip6 belt, has a TSA safe buckle.

    I don’t use liquid makeup. I use mineral makeup. And I am a minimalist with makeup. Never really learned how and what to use. The one thing I have a problem with when flying is my body lotion! I have very dry skin and it need hydration daily from head to toe! I have a small tube but it will only last a couple days. Your Aquaphor stick looked interesting but I’m not real sure about it for all over. As far as shampoo and conditioner, I only shampoo once a week, maybe twice , if I get sweaty. So the trial/sample sizes are fine for me.

      Yes, so regarding the lotion stick that I have I only put lotion on my body after I shower at night and then go to bed so by the time I wake up in the morning it’s completely absorbed. Otherwise I don’t use any lotion on my skin at all and I’ll probably do a whole video on why that is.
      Regarding shampoo and conditioner bars, I bring those with me as a back up but usually I just use whatever’s in the hotel or at my friends house . This is always good to have a bar soap and shampoo and conditioner if you’re at a Airbnb and you just don’t have time to run out and get some trial size stuff plus I like having things that are not in plastic containers that I just throw away😊

And bring a couple 3.4 fl oz bottles of my super thick hydrating cream, plus 2 bottles of a thick hydrating serum to use on my body before I apply my lotion. It keeps you hydrated so much longer.
