  • After years of searching, I FINALLY found the perfect organizer to keep my “nightstand” stuff organized: Pack with me the Bellroy Desk Caddy.
    It’s originally a tech organizer, but I repurposed it and it is perfect. So I am truly a happy minimalist traveler today. :)
    This video is not sponsored, I happily purchased this pouch myself. :)

    I saw a rewiew of that pouch for tech and the people werent impressed. You use for the bag is ingenious. I use that fan daily at work. I always have stuff next to my bed and needed a container. I think you have the solution. Please keep making videos. Thanks.

    This is such an awesome travel hack! I have a few things I have to keep by my nightstand each night and traveling always creates this issue because I'm worried about losing things or I just don't have a night stand. This is fantastic solution.

    Thank you for sharing this! I struggle with putting together a better, more accessible system for those little, frequently used items. I don't want them to be a big jumbled mess, yet easy to put away. I tried travel trays, but they don't have any organization or ability to close securely. I will look into this pouch to see if it could be a solution for me as well.

    🥰😂😂🎉🎊Hooray for the perfect nightstand bag! I really like your TINI flashlight for a hotel nightlight. I might have to keep my eyes open and see if I find one here in Norway. And good points regarding the nightstand bag. I was thinking I do not need one, but this video made me think it over again. It might be very handy. And I am wondering if I can combine the airplane comfort kit idea with this nightstand idea, since they are similiar things in them... Now you have me thinking! Love that!! Have a lovely stay in Spain! 😊😊Best, Lynne

      For me, it is usually the same bag I stuff in my personal item when flying. Obviously I separate the fluids, but the rest (eyemaks, earplugs, etc) I always have with me on a flight. Also the flashlight came in superhandy on my last long flight, trying to dig through my bag when it was dark. :)

      I have a Louis Vuitton Trousse 28. It's vintage and I'm getting tired of shlepping it with me on trips because it's so heavy when filled. Because there's no vachetta, I never had to worry about its getting wet. However, on my last trip, the bathroom vanity was so small it wouldn't fit, so now I'm thinking of getting a waterproof one that hangs on the door.

      @MaggiFuchs  Před rokem

      I guess that could work. I think that label on the top is supposed to be a pen holder (I just put a pen through, to check if it‘s hollow.. 😅). But I guess you have to hang it against a wall, otherwise there is too much weight in the front and it would tilt forward?! 🤔

      @@MaggiFuchs Afterwards. I itch in an area around the bite. So I scratch a little bit so I see the raised area. Then I apply to the bite and the area around. Tiger balm works on the same principle as TENS. It doesn't actually remove the pain, it distracts the brain from it, so you don't feel it. That way it can heal in peace. I have both original tiger balm tins and some other types. I've seen the tiger balm ones on Amazon, and martial arts gyms sometimes have a bin of them to sell to customers.

I ordered it and once it was delivered to the locker I got an E-Mail with a barcode that I had to scan on the locker (or enter the number that came per Mail) and then the door openend and my package was there. :)
