PERSONAL ITEM PERFECTION ✈️👜 I am a personal item maximalist because I want to save valuable suitcase space for clothes, shoes, and toiletries. Everything else—including decanted makeup—goes in my personal item. I organize everything into pouches that are accessible and easy to grab—without digging through a black hole of a bag at 35,000 feet. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: I pack my personal item assuming I’m also carrying on my suitcase. 👉 If I were checking my suitcase, I’d pack this differently. Some of what you see here would move into my checked bag, and my personal item would ALWAYS include: • essential toiletries/medications • a full backup outfit • anything I absolutely cannot afford to have lost or delayed Because I trust the airlines…but not that much. 😏 Now tell me: what’s the ONE thing that absolutely has to be in your personal item? 👇 Save this for your next trip ✈️ and follow along with my You Suck at Packing series because we’re making you a better packer one bag at a time.
