1. Use a vaccuum bag
The first thing she did was to pick out her clothes for the three day trip, including what she was going to wear on her travel day.
“So we’ve got a skirt, a vest top, a nightie, two pairs of socks, and this represents two pairs of underwear,” she said. “I actually used one of these vac bags for all of these bits. And that’s it! That made up three days of outfits, along with the clothes that I wore on my travel day.”
She also made use of her denim jacket, as it had two big inner pockets big enough for her phone, passport, and her tripod.
2. Mini toiletries
For her toiletries items, she showed how she’d avoided having to bring her big bottles of makeup and skincare, and had instead transfered most of her products into smaller pots.
In total, she managed to pack moisturiser, cleanser, foundation, lip and cheek tint, eye brow gel, mascara, a comb, a travel toothbrush, and some toothpaste. She placed it all in a clear bag to be ready to take it out when she went through security.
3. Electronics
“The final things I had to pack were my electronics,” she said. ” And this was a risky strategy but I didn’t take an adapter, I just took a fully charged powerbank with a USB-c cable.”
She then went on to say that she’d also packed a watch charger as well. And the final thing thing that went into the bag was her house keys,.
” I think I’ve packed this even better than last time. The moment of truth, will it zip up?” she asked before zipping up the bag without any issues. “So easily! And that’s how I was able to do an entire holiday in my Uniqlo bag.”
