7 Items In My Carry-On

IMG_5255.JPG

Hey ya’ll! We just got back from a quick but beautiful weekend conference so I want to share my favorite travel items from the trip. When it comes to packing I am for sure an overpacker. I would rather take something and not use it than not have something I need. Since we were only gone for two nights I decided to save some money by not checking a bag. I was so nervous that I wouldn’t have enough room in my carry-on and backpack but it ended up being plenty! Here are some items that maximized space and kept everything organized.

  1. Toiletry Containers- These are so handy and even have an adjustable ID tags.

  2. Clear Makeup Bag - Reusable TSA approved clear bags that are great for makeup and toiletries. Comes in a pack of 3.

  3. Packing Cubes - These help keep my clothes organized and contained.

  4. White Noise App - This app has been a life saver plus it takes up zero luggage space. Pro tip: Make sure the timer is set to continuous so it won’t cut off in the middle of the night.

  5. Extra Battery Pack - Jon and I both love this because it can recharge our phones several times.

  6. Travel Jewelry Case - This is a must when traveling so my jewelry doesn’t get tangled or lost.

  7. Snacks - I get cranky when I’m hungry and traveling can throw off our eating times. Jon always says I’m like the snickers ad “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry” so it makes his life easier when I have a snack.
