[@EileenSpeakman]

Me also. everything Eunice shows us is so practical. Many of these tips are useful when just staying "in country" and travelling to family or friends. I do love this channel, I've gained many ideas for just travelling by bus or coach or train to London. And being a senior citizen I appreciate any weight saving, and security tips. I folded double kitchen foil round thin flexible card to place in my bank card wallet RFID without having to discard a perfectly good item and buy new. I might try sewing a phone sleeve with fold over tuck in flap. sandwich the foil between the outer and inner fabric. Detachable strap means I can "crossbody" wear it. Foil food trays are quite thick, they don't tear like kitchen foil but they are still flexible. Edges will be sharp so just fold over, or fold glue tape over. . But I'm not sure how the sewing machine needle will cope, so perhaps an experiment, double sided sewing tape, thin lines of glue at the edges ? Could even make a basic big pouch to slip into the handbag or tote. - and could double up as a crossbody/hand bag. . UK. E❤

Quick tip: solid deodorants can be scooped out and put in much smaller containers with a screw down lid or the go tubb small. I use a spoon and smash the product into a smaller container. Just use fingertips to apply. Same with my favorite toothpaste which doesn’t come in travel size (use a go tubb small)Many surely know to cut bar soaps or shampoo bars with a sharp knife to take only what is needed. Love your videos, thank you.

Bidet kit with the noise less silicone tube is a great idea for some discretion during personal time.

Long term travel..washing plug, line, folding hangers, washing sheets. Vitamins and powdered greens. Pop up bowl and cup. Plastic coated wire that can twist shut for creating a hook. (lighter than a hook). Small spoon and spork. (Fork snd spoon together). Snall plastic bags for emergiencies and wipes. Panty liners for the long trip flight. Dehyrated soup packet. Currently looking for a small kettle that has a usb. Love your channel 😂😊

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you! You have a great list and I love the idea about some wire except I have to make sure that it’ll fit over the door and I can get the door closed and it will be strong enough to hold my bag. Regarding the USB kettle I do have a USB powered water heating kettle that it doesn’t collapse and I’ll be showing that in a video soon.😊

[@ALICIAMARTINEZ-wk1oz]

What an awesome idea with the command hook! And the bidet will definitely be on my list. Few notes: I used to work in a hospital and there is a reason why you never have bar soaps there: bacteria can live in them forever. Gross. I see the point on avoiding the little bottles but it’s not worth the risk to your health. Plus combining both in a bag…I’m not so sure. I add a room refresher (the ones from Bath and Body Works are intense to say the least, so I spray them after using the bathroom or when leaving the room/airbnb for a better experience). Tips for making your room cozier: pack a faux flower and a little plastic vase or bottle. Add a light blanket. Essential oils and a humidifier like you do. A rechargeable fan. A small speaker for music (Target has good ones). I travel with kids so sometimes traveling feels more like work but these little touches make me feel relaxed.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much for that hack on the soap! Really good information and appreciate you sharing that here! I guess I better go back to liquid soap! Also, thank you so much for the other great tips that help you feel more like you’re at home on these long travel adventures!🙏❤️😊

[@wandrousvindella716]

@@TheoryofSimple keep your soap dry between uses, don't share with others & only use a small amount. The important part of washing with soap is to rinse. Skin cells and moisture are what make soap a little petri dish. The motion of disrupting the cell membrane of bacteria is what is important. We all have bacteria on our bodies and they are important part of our ecosystem. Solid soap and liquid have the potential to grow harmful bacteria. I'm keeping my solid soap, in small amounts, for my personal use. ( 4+ decade career in pathology & my career was under the microscope) Long story short, I'm keeping and using my personal bar of soap. I also carry tea tree oil when I travel (anti fungal properties) and baby shampoo to wash my eyes

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@wandrousvindella716 thank you so much, Wanda! I guess I never really thought about it much like that and yes, I never share my soap! I love the idea of a baby soap for your eyes❤️😊 Thank you so much for sharing that hack.🙏

@@TheoryofSimple of course! I’m hooked to all your videos now that summer season is here. One more thing about bar soaps if you still want to use them: read about coliform bacteria on them.

@@ALICIAMARTINEZ-wk1oz I’m definitely gonna look that up now! I remember as a kid, seeing bar soap sitting out and it would crack and have his black things and I always thought that was really weird. Now I know.!

[@lisainfantes6583]

Thanks, Eunice for the great ideas always. I appreciate you talking about delicate topics because we all have one thing or another. Some of my must haves and do's : Spray sunscreen for your back on the beach so you don't have to ask the towel guy to goop you up, Leave in conditioner in case you are in a location where hot water is scarce (like Peru or DR, you want to jump in/ jump out of the shower). If you take meds, always carry a supply for longer than you think you need because you never know if something could prevent your planned departure date (and band aids if you take blood thinners). We once had to stay extra days because it was snowing back home (airport was closed). Always keep your hard to replace things in your personal item. Don't wait until the last minute to pack / wash your clothes,. Once we had to unexpectedly leave for a trip a day early (a snowstorm was coming, our flight was cancelled, so we flew down south, where it wasn't snowing and connected to our destination the next day). I had to throw "whatever" in my suitcase, never made that mistake again. Always keep at least one outfit and a bathing suit/coverup (for beach vacay) in your personal item or carry on. My sister in law's luggage once went missing for several days . You want to at least be able to enjoy the beach/pool and go out to dinner. The coverup can double as a nightie. She and my sister now pack half and half in their suitcases, in case one suitcase goes missing, each person has at least a few items to use. Another thing we do is stay at a hotel close to the airport the night before an early morning flight so we don't have to stress over traffic (we once had car service from home that didn't show up, had to hail a cab that amazingly didn't have a GPS or EZ PASS, almost missed the flight). Most hotels have shuttles, and some offer low rates on leaving your car there during your trip. Happy, safe travels, everyone!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much for all the great hacks! Really love that you shared this with this community! Whenever I used to travel with my ex husband and kids, we always put things up in a different suitcases just in case things got lost! 🙏❤️😊

Instead of black post-it notes try black gaffers tape. It will do a better job of covering and will not damage whatever it is stuck on. Also the gaffers tape can replace the painters tape. I carry a bit of both white and black gaffers tape with me always since there are tons of ways to use it.

"WOW" This has to be one of the best travel packing videos I have ever seen! You think as I do, always trying to get stuff lighter, smaller, and easier. I am going to revamp several of my little travel kits and follow some of your ideas. I like to put like stuff together like you do. I made a sewing kit with pre-threaded needles and buttons that fit into a plastic credit card sleeve. I do the same thing as you with a manicure kit. I also do all my own laundry, but I prefer the blow-up hangers to the folding ones, as I find the clothes dry faster and no humps on the shoulders. I take an "office" kit and an SD card "entertainment" kit. You have so many great ideas, thank you very much! Keep 'em coming.

Some great ideas in this. Might have to get that humidifier! One thing related to the need that I take is a neti pot and salt sachets. Prefilled saline nose wash is one alternative I may use. Another item I take if I am checking a bag is dollar store foaming hand wash for the hotel room.

[@TheoryofSimple]

That Netty pot is a great idea especially in the winter months, but he might get a cold on the trip. It seems like a lot of times when I come home from a trip in the winter I end up sick so the Netty pot might help prevent that.❤️😊 the dollar store has a lot of great little things for bags like this, so I do recommend checking that store out.

I also take with me a silk/satin pillowcase as otherwise my curly hair is an absolute birds nest in the morning!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much❤️😊 love he panty liner idea! Thank you for sharing that with us😊❤️

[@skymomjune]

Thanks for talking about the bidet. I have one that I travel with that is rechargeable and hooks to a water bottle. I also hate the sound of the water bottle so I'm now going to look for one like you showed. Yes a sensitive subject but I'm so glad you brought it up. After several back Surgeries my ability to bend was very compromised. The discovery of a bidet was marvelous. I bet many more who are overweight or have medical issues will get on board once they know about it.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@skymomjune thank you and yes, I think it’s an important topic to talk about! I have a new one that I am trying now and I love it! It’s not the homemade one that I have here and it definitely works better! amzn.to/4hbldmi

[@dianashelton1371]

Hiker’s secret….Use a wool cloth for cleaning in your bidet kit. Wool will not smell, dry quickly and naturally anti microbial. I plan on using your wall storage hack from previous video

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much for the suggestion on the wool cloth! I know they make special cloths now for when you pee. What I like about the handy wipe is that if things aren’t quite as clean down there and you need to wash this out or throw it out, it’s not an expensive item and you can replace it easily.😊❤️

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Thank you for talking plainly about the Bidet. I get occasional hemorrhoids and when they are acting up it can ruin a trip. I also take the miniature size of Preparation H. When you need it you need it. Aloha

I take a little bit of Duct Tape. Incase luggage gets torn, sole of a shoe, etc. Chip clips can be used to keep curtains closed as well. Small thing of super glue.

Such good ideas here. That command hook idea blew my mind. The thing i always need is scissors. Ive had them taken away at tsa before but ive also been able to bring them plenty of times.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! I have some other hooks that I bring too! I should probably do a video on the importance of hooks! I’m at a hotel suite right now and there is not one hook in the whole place not even in the bathroom🤷‍♀️🧐 the scissors thing, it’s really up to each TSA agent, but if you look on the TSA approved things scissors are allowed as long as they are under a certain size from the hinge point😊

[@jenharvey3397]

I love all your videos Eunice. I have always been a thorough packer when it comes to toiletries and first aid, but I have learned so much from you about packing them into a smaller footprint. I used my LL Bean hanging organizer for many years, and it is great for including everything in one place, but it takes up nearly half my carry on!! I do still use it for road travel and my just-in-case motel bag, but I have learned to pack in smaller packages when travelling. You have taught me a lot about reducing the footprint. Toothpaste tabs instead of a tube of paste is brilliant! One thing I have started doing to lighten the load: I normally wear monthly lenses, but when travelling, I use dailies, so I don't need to schlepp lens cases and solutions. I like your itty bitty candles for ambiance, great idea (what, no barf bag LOL!)

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Jen! Regarding contact lenses, I used to hate dragging around boxes of contact lenses! I did get Lasix, which was great for a while until I got older, and now I have to wear readers🤓

I started using dry toothpaste tablets when I travel because heat or cold doesn’t damage them, they don’t need to be packed with liquids and they are light and easy to use.

[@NoraDunn]

Wow you travel with all kinds of unique stuff I've never thought of! The Special Comfort Items in particular blew my mind. Thanks for the great tips! Fantastic. I'm curious: if you were doing a long-term trip with carry-on luggage only, what items (other than the basic toiletries) would you consider "non-negotiable" - as in you always always travel with them?

[@TheoryofSimple]

So that is a loaded question and it really depends on where I’m staying, how long I’m staying and what other side trips I could be taking with me. But that does send me to a thought about doing a video on travel essentials I take with me no matter where I go and how long I stay. I have done six weeks and carry-on only on business trips, which is sometimes a little easier because I’m just wearing the same thing all the time and a lot of it was black. . However, when I’m traveling and mixing vacation and work or vacation it’s gets a little more complicated but I think that’s a great video to do.😊💕

[@NoraDunn]

@@TheoryofSimple Awesome! I'm glad I could give you a new video idea. Your video gave me the idea to turn on the camera and unpack my own toiletry bag - which in turn has some very different things to yours! (Though I consistently travel long-term with carry-on luggage only, so I don't have room for all the cool stuff you bring. I may choose a few though. Thanks for the inspiration!)

Great video! I particularly like the mini humidifier and the bidet kit. So clever. For me, traveling as light as possible is the most comfortable. But, there are a few items that I won't be without on long-term trips: my personal electric fan, a travel clothesline, and my bamboo cutlery set (that I'm thinking of trading in for a titanium spork!).

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much !🙏💕 Yes, it’s always good to know what are the things you cannot do without and that could be different for everybody. I always bring some sort of portable fan with me! At my age that can be the biggest comfort solution🤣 I keep a personal fan in my personal carry-on so that I have it to use on the plane which I have done several times ! I think that bamboo cutlery is good, but it doesn’t perform as well as the titanium and I like how the titanium one folds up and is really really small! 😊

Another WOW video! You've packed it full of ideas, just like you've packed your Mary Poppins toiletries bag full of necessities and niceties. I will have to watch this one again and take notes on what I'd like to add to my travel kit. I use the Magellan soap bag too. I cut a piece of soap and take the big sliver with me - it lasts so long! I have a tiny little soap rest that I keep in the bag as well, and it keeps my soap from getting mushy. I travel for shorter stays, and take just what I need: little bits and dabs of foundation and blusher in a contact lens case. Same with petroleum jelly and cuticle cream. Don't need much but it sure makes my skin feel nicer! I pre-cut my floss, keep in little ziplocks. Love the empty spray bottle too. I spritz my curly hair to give it a refresh. I also set aside my little toothpaste tubes and use them when I just need a few day's worth. Why drag a big tube? Gets you to rethink everything you carry... Thanks for all you do!
