HOW I PACK - ORGANIZED & POSSIBLY TOO MUCH

[@sofiaonthetube]

I have been watching randomly for a few weeks now, a video here, a video there.. and I truly believe you need a blog on how to organize life. You effortlessly organize in ways that help a lot of people get ideas for their own lives. I think this is one of your destinies.. helping others get their shit together. I have never seen anyone this organized but not in a eye rolling way but in a "damn that's genius, let me jot this down" kind of way

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Thank you so much! I don't really have time for a blog right now, but that's why I have a KZbin! And books to come ;) XOXO

[@DaughterOfChrist1997]

Awesomeeeee, the intro reminded me of City&Makeup’s KZbin channel of the early 2010s, totally comforting . Love youuuu

[@sierraelizabeth3817]

Ok so I’m binge watching your videos and you are my spirit animal. I also am an organizing freak when I travel and I actually have to reorganize my suitcase during the trip because when it gets crazy, I get stressed out. Organizers unite! (PS I live just north of you, in Santa Barbara 😊)

[@denisegores6172]

So happy to see a new video!! You always amaze me of your organizational habits 😘 I overpack every time I go anywhere, my husband just shakes his head! You just never know when you may need something 😜

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

I'm all for overpacking! 😂 Needing something you don't have is the worst feeling! xoxo

[@amandaholley8068]

I just found your channel and we are so much alike! I’m binging all your videos. I take a cloth laundry bag and it makes things so easy to just wash everything as I unpack. I’m a huge list maker, too.

[@astacy62]

Loved the ideas of putting daily outfits together.....👍👍👍

Hello Dear Beauty, as I am fairly new to you and your channel, I originally started following you due to your "Planner/Plan with me" videos as I found them so absolutely and incredibly adorable EXACTLY like I found you to be 🎀! I just wanted you to know how very Peaceful it is just to watch ANY video of yours...you have an INCREDIBLE Loving Soul that just shines through to the outside....VERY RARE!! There is this Love/Calm/Happiness (not sure, can't find the exact RIGHT word/words to describe what I am trying to say or what it is,) but it just radiates from within you, it is just absolutely Beautiful and as I said so very soothing and calming, not to mention positive and uplifting to watch you! I very much apologize, and do hope that you do not find this message offensive, it's just everyone generally will write negativity or hate, but I NEVER see anyone bring the POSITIVE to attention or light, let alone a kind gesture. It is the small things that set you apart like I absolutely love the way you LOVE your Husband (like a Wife/Marriage should be,) you are your OWN person (you are NOT trying to be and follow EVERY other girl on KZbin,) your video content is VERY different (NOT the same as all the other "KZbin Girls",) and your clothing style is different (it's not a carbon-copy of every single girl on...again...yes....KZbin.) You are just DIFFERENT!! I could go on and on but you get the gist of what I am trying to say I'm sure! Again I do apologize if this message has offended you or if you feel that it's rather odd that I took the time to write it. I am a Contracted Full-Time Head Model out here with D&G, (so I'm NOT a crazy😉) so yes please forgive me if I had made notice of your "Peaceful Inner Self" and the way you radiated in your videos instead of the Beautiful Clothes you were showing or of course your Beloved LV that EVERYONE has made mention of in the comments below....That's just a given, we all love our Loui's !! I just strongly felt that you needed to know that you bring that much peace and calmness over someone (me) and sometimes even when I am having a tough day...honestly all I have to do is watch one of your videos because your just that POSITIVE.....SO YES, I REALLY PREFERRED TO MESSAGE YOU ALL THIS TO SAY "THANK YOU" FOR DOING/MAKING ALL THE CONTENT YOU DO/PUT OUT FOR YOUR SUBI'S. TO ENJOY! P.S. Thanks for the help with sooo many products esp. my pill case (although I found a replica for $10 hehe,) and app., but are you able to possibly make a new GM "Plan With Me" Video PLEASE OHHHHHH, I would be so very Thankful! 😉😉 Again Thank You so much for taking the time to even read this message (hopefully you made it to this point,) I hope you have a Gorgeous Day today, and a Blessed upcoming week! 🙏🍁🧡 Missi XO 💜💛

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Awww, this is so sweet! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment, I am truly honored that you enjoy my videos and personality and ways I try to be different...that means so much to me! Sending you lots of love 🧡🧡🧡

[@18elleinad]

I'm injured and stuck at home so I'm watching your channel 😊I love your ideas...some great tips. I had to laugh a few times at how much stuff we girls bring! My husband always gives me a hard time at my 2 stuffed bags for a weekend! But I definitely love my beauty rituals and I will bring a pair of shoes for each outfit too! BTW I love your side part especially in your 2017 Faves vid 😉

[@pamjohnson6730]

I’m impressed! I need to travel!

[@LaColema10]

💗everything. Definitely getting those Nikes 👟 🤗 Hope you guys had an amazing trip.

[@truthwillrise57]

The real techniques complexion sponge is by far my favorite cheap alternative for a sponge. Not as soft as the beauty blender but I love it and it does a great job !!

[@janetroberson5645]

The hair dryer and straightener is adorable.🤣

[@s.berger962]

Just awesome. Thank you for the great ideas!

[@twobirdys]

I love your jewelry pouch! Where is it from? Great video. Lots of awesome ideas.

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Hi, and thank you! Here it is: amzn.to/2FgszTr

So far I've bought that Fred Mirror, planner inserts, Rapesco hole punch, and planner clips all on your recommendations. Just love your videos and all the goodies you show. You should check out the rose gold pens with a diamond on top from Amazon. You can get 4 for $12. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078RZGSHB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hello!!! First time commenting, and I love your channel. I just got knee surgery, and I have binged watched your channel in the first 2 weeks. So now I feel like I totally know you and we are now BBF's. #californiagirls #notacreeperstalker #towingthelineofcreeperstalker #sorrynotsorry Its been 4 weeks PO, and just feel so lucky I found your channel, and all the stuff about positivity and self care. It just resonated so much with me and what I've been trying to do for so long. Also after surgery-- its so easy to get unmotivated and depressed, I had to get a Total Knee Replacement at 37 and even though I'm excited to get back to life pain free, its been such a hard surgery. Anyways....blah blah blah...I'm grateful for your words and the feeling of validation of self care, and doing it for yourself. I have been settling down and doing everything I've wanted to do and just never done--- Flylady, I love her, and I loved your Control Journal. Its totally motivated me to get it done and really love it. So I got a pink binder with Pink edged sheet protectors, I love it sooo much. I am going back and buying everything from amazon that you have shared-- The pill box?? OMG ---I want it so bad. The pink binder that I'm dying to go to Target and find-- that will have to wait a few more weeks, but I think about it during Physical Therapy-- so its my reward. =) But I was watching this video, and you were talking about the beauty blender -- and how are you supposed to pack it when its wet? and I had the exact same thought a while ago, and I bought this!!! www.amazon.com/Taocci-Container-2Beauty-Silicone-Carrying/dp/B07VK7X16Y/ref=sr_1_25?crid=34G0XJI22O6A0&keywords=beauty+blender+holder&qid=1572806797&sprefix=beauty+bl%2Caps%2C227&sr=8-25 Its a beauty blender holder with holes, so you can put it in there wet, but it will dry inside your make up bag without getting gross, or getting anything else gross!! As a plus it came with a gold rose holder for your vanity! There are so many out there that you can choose from, but my nickname is "Cat" so a pink cat was adorable-- and I also love the rose gold holder. You know how it is, when you are using it, and then done -- but always go back with the blender to blend everything out, but this way it just sits on its holder and not on the vanity rolling around everywhere.. So anyways- this long winded novel to let you know about the blender holder and how much I love your channel!!

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Hi love! Thank you so much for the comment and support! And best wishes for your recovery ❤️❤️

[@UnearthedPerspective]

Yay! A new video!! 😊

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Aww, thank you for watching!! xoxo

[@janetroberson5645]

The shower caps are a great idea!!!!!

[@tijay8507]

I have been using them for years ,i get a pack of 100 disposable ones from e bay for a couple of British pounds

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

Just found your channel.. I have to pack after this video for a 4 day trip which I do often. Took me a long while to get my sh!t together to travel with as compact as possible. Hard to be a girl though

[@elizadon1697]

Nasal spray in airplanes is good for clearing your airways, so that your ears don't pop and your eardrums don't get ruptured (it happened to me when I had a cold). I usually take a mucus thinner as well (Lysomucil in Belgium), just to make sure nothing gets clogged. Especially when you have a cold, and you can't avoid flying, just make sure your airways are nice and clear :) Thought I'd share. The middle part looks great on you.

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

That is so good to know, thank you for sharing! XOXO

[@jillflorio5635]

Seriously, flying when sick should never be a thing. #CoVidYear

[@janetroberson5645]

I packed a wet beauty blender and it molded. Also at ulta they have the morphe sponges and they are 8 bucks. Can't beat that price.

[@kathleenronzio2170]

What was the name of the clothing site you bought the inexpensive but adorable shirts from again? Thank you

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Shein! XOXO

[@Andrea51108]

Have you washed the packing cubes before? I was looking at the Amazon reviews, and there were several complaints about how they didn't wash well.

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Hmm, I haven't washed them in the washer, only wiped them down and let them air dry. I only ever put clean clothes in them, and then on the trip I transfer my clothes into a bag once they're dirty so I can just throw everything in the wash when I'm home. So for the most part I don't think the cubes get too dirty.

[@janetroberson5645]

Ulta has there beauty blender , and it a pack of 2 for 10.00. It's pretty good, have to tried the real techniques, orange one. But seriously can't find the perfect dupe. Real techniques I think that's the brand ,theres a green one also. I don't know if you've tried any of these but I have tried so many. Don't put the beauty blender in the container wet it will mold. Love your videos. Have a safe and fun trip. 🤗😘

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

I have not tried the Ulta or Real Techniques ones...thanks for the suggestions! Why is it so hard to find a good dupe?! Makeup just goes on sooo smoothly and with such even coverage with the real Beauty Blender. Keep me posted on any other ones you find! Xoxoxo

[@barbieroberson9251]

You did great minimizing for a 10 day trip, especially the clothes. Love the tips and all the pink. _Barbie

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Thanks, Barbie! By the way I wanted to mention I LOVE your name...I'm jealous! 😍

[@meaghangarrett7473]

I love all these packing and organization videos, but I pack way way way less than you lol. I love the shower cap and Ziploc idea

[@janetroberson5645]

I have the ugg shoes and they look like a loafer but mine look more like a bedroom shoe than yours do. But omg can't live without them or my boots.😳

[@MILKANDHONEYLIFE]

Right?? They are SO COMFY! I have two different pairs of the slippers and I really want the Ugg bathrobe next...

[@janetroberson5645]

MILK AND HONEY LIFE I didn't know they had a bath robe.💖

[@tijay8507]

Slippers are meant to stay indoors!!compression cubes and vacuum bags are best for non crease items as your thick items are taking up far too much space, yes i agree that undies bag is not good for packing. I fold my bras into one cup by turning one cup inside out and then stack them and use the last cup to roll panties into and pop them into a sandwich bag to keep them together.The creams are better off in tiny jars as they take up less room. You have far too much skin care, you only really need a cleanser and a moisturiser which coconut oil will be perfect, you probably get breakouts due to the combination of so many products! keep it simple!! You should again decant the foundation into a jar that way you can see how much you have got, creams and liquids are better off in tiny bottles and spray bottles and jars. I can fit enough foundation for 2 weeks in a 10ml jar. You are organized but you can easily make more changes. You could have packed all your clothes into a large capacity carry on if you used all the tricks. Next time!!

[@janetroberson5645]

Great packing skills 😳

[@rileygarcia557]

landed on yo video really like yo content :)

[@jillflorio5635]

OK. Boob pillow. I am looking this up next. I always have to mess with my 'arrangement' and I'd like to know how this works for you!

[@andieho7893]

Teach me about this boob pillow! 🙌🏼

[@msbabzy8150]

I love how you packed your meds, but I do have a question. Have they ever stopped you or confiscated your meds when flying? The law is that you have to carry them in your original bottles, because it has proof for of your prescription on the bottle. I’m disabled, and sadly take 17 medications at night, and half that amount in the morning. Packing my pill bottles requires their own suitcase. I have been tempted to buy my meds pre-sorted in sealed packages, but I can’t get around the bottles for proof. 🤯 I was just curious of other’s experiences. And...Um, BOOB PILLOW? LOL That’s hysterical! But I’m guessing you are going to have amazing boobies when you reach my age, LOL (I’m 55) But I’m going to check into it, just to see some background on it. xoxo

[@71babyjay]

Beth Bautz What about taking a pic of the prescription on your cell phone? OR- I have an app for my pharmacy and my plan is to show my rx on the app if asked by TSA.

[@msbabzy8150]

@71babyjay - I also have an app with my pharmacy, but they won’t accept that either. It’s so ridiculous, right? I mean, I’ve thought of taking photos of the bottles, along with photos of the pills to prove they are mine, and they are what these photos say they are. Why having the physical bottles are such a sticking point is beyond me. But I can’t afford for them to confiscate my medications. I’d end up in the hospital without them. 😞

[@jillflorio5635]

I have to allot a huge amount of space in my precious carry on room for meds. It sucks when I have to change planes 3-4 times from CA to my 1/2 year island location in Brazil.
