In this episode, I’m showing you how to:
✨ 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐓 & 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐙𝐄 your skincare and haircare products from their original packaging into travel size containers
✨ 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐙𝐄 only pack what you’ll actually use and skip the 8 step skincare routine and entire bag of makeup
✨ 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐋-𝐒𝐈𝐙𝐄 when you can’t shrink them down, purchase travel size versions instead

This is the exact method I use to pack lighter, stay organized, and save space in my carry-on while traveling.

XOXO,
Carry-on Queen 👑

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.

Fall shoe lineup 🍂👞 Three pairs I’ll be wearing on repeat this season… navy loafers, ballet flats + foldable leopard flats that are PERFECT for travel. ✈️

But before ANY new pair of shoes leaves my house, they get sprayed with Repel Shoe Protectant. 🙌🏻

💦 Helps protect against water, stains, dirt + everyday spills
👟 Protecting them BEFORE the first wear is so much easier than trying to remove stains later
✈️ A MUST for travel shoes… because airports, cobblestones, questionable sidewalks + unpredictable weather
💰 Whether they’re $30 flats or an investment pair, I want them looking new as long as possible!

These three are such easy transitional shoes to take your wardrobe from late summer into fall… with jeans, trousers, dresses + cute airport outfits.

Olive green 🤝 barrel leg = the overall update I didn’t know my closet needed. Plus they come in 11 colors!

These barrel leg overalls are one of those throw-it-on-and-look-put-together pieces that make getting dressed ridiculously easy. Wear them with a fitted tank or tee now, then add a sweater and sneakers when the temps drop. Definitely earning wardrobe essential status over here. 🙌

For reference, I’m 5’2” and wearing a size Small. I linked the overalls + everything I styled them with right here!

✨ My ride-or-die personal item ✈️
(My color is unfortunately no longer available)

If you see me at the airport, there’s a 99% chance I’m carrying the CALPAK Luka Duffel. Here’s why I’m obsessed:

🤍 Fits under the seat (and doubles as a foot rest for us shorties)
🤍 Opens wide so you can actually see everything inside but zips closed
🤍 Holds SO much more than it looks like it should
🤍 Separate shoe compartment = no dirty soles touching your clothes
🤍 Trolley sleeve slides right over your suitcase handle
🤍 Tons of pockets to keep your passport, chargers, snacks, and headphones organized
🤍 Lightweight, soft, and comfortable to carry
🤍 Looks chic enough that it doesn’t scream “travel bag”

If you’re trying to travel with just a carry-on and a personal item, look no further. It’s one of those purchases I recommend to my friends over and over because it the best I’ve ever found! ✈️🤍

#LTKTravel #LTKOver40 #LTKdayinmylife

🚨 If your shoes need their own suitcase… Part 2 is for you!

If you’re trying to fit everything into a carry-on, you can’t pack “emotional support shoes” 🤭

Instead, follow the 3-shoe rule:
👟 1 comfortable walking shoe
👠 1 dressier shoe
🥾 1 trip-specific shoe (think hiking boots, sandals, snow boots, water shoes, etc.)

Then level up with these pro packing tips:
✔️ Pack shoes in a shoe bag or shower cap to keep the rest of your clothes clean.
✔️ Fill the inside of your shoes with socks, chargers, jewelry, or other small items so no space goes to waste.
✔️ Wear your bulkiest pair to the airport and save valuable suitcase space.

Packing lighter means packing smarter and avoiding decision fatigue on vacation 🏖️

📌 Save this for your next trip.
✈️ Share this with your friend who packs six pairs of shoes for a three-day vacation.

As someone that lived on an Island for 5 years, I learned that the difference between a great beach day and a miserable one? Packing the right stuff! 🏝️

These beach MVP’s are the things that have officially earned a permanent spot in my beach bag:

🏖️ A lightweight/washable beach bag that keeps my hands free🧊 A cooler that actually keeps drinks cold all day🔊 A good speaker for the ultimate beach soundtrack🧺 Compact sand-free towels that don’t take up half the bag🧹 A sand brush (trust me on this one)👒 A good beach hat for sun protection and bad hair days☀️ And a few other beach-day MVPs that make life so much easier!

None of these are revolutionary, but together they make the difference between feeling prepared and feeling like you’re surviving, especially with kids!

What beach item can you NOT live without? 👇

I’ve traveled to 48 countries, and at this point my packing list is less “travel essentials” and more “lessons learned the hard way.”

These 7 random items may seem strange, but every one of them has saved me from a travel headache at least once.

Future me always thanks past me for packing them. 😆✈️

What’s the weirdest thing that permanently lives in your suitcase?
