  • After a ton of travel and trying out different ways to pack this is what works best for me. I have everything I need to be comfortable, prepared for reasonable “what ifs” and nothing extra. I don't need every single item for every trip but I'm showing you everything I could pack depending on the location/length of trip/weather and it all fits into a 3 liter bag. Technically I could travel with a bit less but everything listed here makes me feel like I have a little bathroom home away from home. Thanks for watching!

    shampoo bars!!! are great for traveling, they double as body wash as well....Lush carries them, they are a bit pricey but they go along way...for long travels and limited space they are perfect...especially for us who have short hair, its the best, no packaging although you can keep it in a small tin for less messy carryon

    Such a good idea to bring a sink stopper! I'm a terrible over packer and I've been wanting to try washing clothes by hand when traveling so I won't need to pack so much. I tried to hand wash things while I was in Hawaii last year, but it wasn't quite as easy as I anticipated. I'm currently replacing clothing items (as they wear out) with lighter, natural materials and ones that are easy to hand wash.
    Love that exfoliating mitt, too.

    One little caution to put out there about the Go Tubes - which as Janell says are made of silicone rubber. A lot of hair and skin products have silicones in them (dimethicone and other, similar substances). They are used as "slip" agents in cosmetics. But they can sometimes damage the silicone rubber of the Go Tubes, and I think leach some of the chemicals used to make the silicone rubber into the product you have put into the tube. I've had that happen with a hair conditioner, and also a sunscreen that I used to use. (I have since stopped using products with silicones in them - with very rare exceptions, like I have a tube of Paula's Choice mineral sunscreen that I am still using up.)

      Please wear sunscreen daily all yr long, most especially on your face. I have been in my field of radiation oncology for almost 12 yrs and I have seen how nasty skin cancer gets...as in it gets uglier as we treat it. The sun/skin cancer does not discriminate and the melanin in your skin should never be considered "natural sunscreen" no matter how dark your skin. Please know that I'm not trying to scold you about sunscreen but rather aiming to debunk extremely dangerous/irresponsible misconceptions regarding the need or not for sun protection for you and/or your viewers.
