    Tip: when traveling abroad (especially in a cold climate or one where a scarf is needed), invest in hidden pocket scarves to hide valuables needed

    This was all great advice. Here's a tip:wear a Scottevest or something similar. It has lots of pockets and is a saver when your carryon bag is overweight. I travel with photography equipment and have had to put camera bodies, drives, lenses in my vest because of foreign weight restrictions. Remember they don't weigh you and what you are wearing. The funny thing is that after your carryon bags are weighed and you are on your way to the gate you can put the stuff in the vest in the carryon luggage.

Thank you for not being dingy, superficial, and shallow. I loved this video, I even subscribed. I can listen to you, you are so relatable. I will definitely re-watch this one to make sure I get it right. You are fantastic. I appreciate your perspective.

      @@lindadavis3844 Around that time, regular waist length box braids were like $15-20 at a shop. Small, long knotless braids were around $50-$80 depending on who you are and where you go 😅 Now with inflation, I'm sure it's on the higher end of that range unless you really bargain

    I flew from DC to JFK and JFK to ACC (Ghana). I try to do straight flights as often as possible. Get a small portable fan, a towel (for your face), and Cottonelle wipes (for bathroom trips). The top 3 things I brought. And definitely pack all medicine you may think you’ll need! I also brought an eye mask and face mask for the plane. I was ready! I also had my High Spirit backpack that is anti-theft (the zipper is on your back and it was gorgeous)! Danielle, I lost 15lbs from sweating!

    •  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Isn’t face mask for the plane drying ? The plane is a dry place and you put liquid on your face will that not dry your skin more ? I read it somewhere that it isn’t adviced to use them in plane.and where is your video? Looking forward to that.

    Another TH-camr As told by Louise got malaria and said the hospital was efficient and inexpensive. You were prepared for whatever. Lol. Which is good. I enjoyed everyone's Return vlogs, especially Flo Chiynere because she is from Nigeria and was in her village. Now I have seen people wait to get to Africa to get their braids because of the price. I probably would if it was something cornrows related.
