Love details ❤

A person after my own heart - keep watching I think I might get more detailed in my videos as time goes on, I was wary of it at first in case it put viewers off

[@vickismith9517]

I’m a nurse, and compression stockings are never a “what if” item. The American Heart Association recommends wearing compression stockings on any flight 4 hours or longer. This is to prevent blood clots, and you maybe surprised to know how often blot clots and pulmonary embolism occurs from not wearing them.

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

That's a really important point. I think I've seen compression stockings that don't have feet, I will have to look into them. The few times I've used them I've definitely seen benefits in reduced swelling too.

Just found your channel - have watched 3 of your videos and I'm hooked! I'm in Atlanta, USA and don't travel nearly as much as I'd like, or used to. I generally take about 2-3 trips a year. Right now we're planning a January trip to Amsterdam/Sweden and I'm loving your packing tips. Thanks for the time and effort you've put into this. I pray it's successful and lucrative for you. Peace-

[@TheScratchingKiwi]

Would love to see a packing video that shows the weight of your carry-on bags and how their size goes on the major airlines (Qantas, Singapore Airlines etc). Also, where do you get all those minis and wipes?

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

Great idea, next time I'm packing for a flight I'll do that! Wipes etc - Amazon. There's links in the description.

[@deliacall4826]

Thanks for the details and what you pack together - very helpful. I like to take hot water in an insulated bottle for either my own soup, coffee, or tea - ask a coffee shop in the airport to fill it for you and tip them. I like your layers also - good idea.

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

Hot water is interesting - I see a lot of American KZbinrs and bloggers say that too. It seems to be an American thing? I wonder why that is, it's just not a thing for Australians. No criticism though, whatever works for you!

[@lauraridge-cosby5555]

Great tips! I always pack snacks, too! Neck pillow is a must for me too!

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

Great additions! We are spoilt on Qantas, there's always snacks and water. I have to admit I just can't get used to a neck pillow so I usually roll up some clothing to support my head.

[@lauraridge-cosby5555]

Oh, I forgot the eye drops are an essential 👌!

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

@@lauraridge-cosby5555 I forgot those! I will add them to my list, thanks Laura :)

[@sallieishere1409]

me, again. I've heard you mention that you're cruelty free and I so love to find others who think like I do. From the animals, thank you! But I'm wondering if you can help me with brands...ie: what brand of makeup remover oil wipes, cleansing wipes, etc do you find that are cruelty free? I noticed in the graphics you used neutrogena, but are they cruelty free? I'm not challenging. I'm genuinely looking for advise. PS. I'm IN LOVE with your jewelry! I'm such a fool for pearls!

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

You're right, Neutrogena isn't (as far as I'm aware) cruelty-free. I don't actually use those wipes but I needed some individually wrapped ones as an example in my graphic (and ebook). I had a collection from various places - hotels, samples received as GWP from Sephora etc. But I've run out and I was searching this week for some to buy that are individually wrapped and CF but I couldn't find any. So I bought some Burt's Bees ones in a big packet and put a few in a zip lock bag. Hopefully they'll retain their moisture - I find the packet ones dry out because I only use them when flying, I use a cream cleanser when I have a sink I can wash in. I was tempted to buy the Neutrogena but when I think about the testing that non-CF implies I couldn't do it! Thanks for the compliment on my jewellery! Michael bought me the necklace and bracelet set for a significant birthday and I love them ❤️ Have fun planning your Amsterdam/Sweden trip, I'd love to go there, I haven't spent a lot of time in mainland Europe. Thanks for saying you pray it's successful and lucrative, I'm not making money yet, it's a long way off at this point! Have a fantastic day!!

[@cwc1646]

Just found you - another detail person here! I appreciate your offers to increase playback speed. Different style than you but appreciate your advice heaps!

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

Love that - detail rules! It's great we all have different styles, imagine the world if we were all the same - there'd be way too much pink in it if everyone was like me hahaha ❤

[@MED-lx5wk]

Well done, I enjoyed your video very much, lots of great tips and hacks, thanks!

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

Thanks! I'm glad you got something from it ❤

Liked and subscribed! 😊

[@Jenny-oy3xs]

Thank you. That was very informative. I live in Western Australia and will be flying to New York later this year. The trip is so long I haven't even added the time up. It seems too scary to think about. This video was so helpful. I am going to watch it again slowly and write down all your tips. I recently got the Bose NC head phones from FlyBuys and I haven't heard of Airfly before. I also didn't realise about all the adaptors that are needed. I will have to research this tech area further. I have never taken a computer but I will take my phone and hopefully I can access 4G or 5G reception.That is a good idea about changing clothing during the flight. It will be warm weather on departing and cold on arrival for me also.Thank you for all the tips on how to divide the different items up for the journey. I always seem to need something which happens to be stowed away in the overhead storage area and basically inaccessible. I have subscribed to your channel and will watch further content.

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

It's really great to hear that, Jenny. It feels amazing when I think I've actually helped someone! Flying from Australia to anywhere is a challenge and from WA it must be even more of one sometimes. Regarding the computer - I only really take mine to do things like edit videos and write blogs - I'm a bit old school and can't handle doing those on the iPad for too long or it drives me mad!

[@Asphodel27one]

Good ideas! Do you mean a serape - check the actual Mexican pronunciation please.

[@noellowery6542]

Thank you!

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

No worries! Glad you enjoyed it enough to comment ❤

[@adrianabrown1011]

You say you change from leggings to pants and T-shirt and back. How do you change clothes on a plane?

[@LinkeLifestyleAsWeSeeIt]

The dress I wear is pretty loose so I whilst at my seat I pull my arms in and use it like a tent to change the bottom half, then I get my arms back out, go to the toilet and change my top half. Or I do it all in the toilet. I can't put tights on on a plane though, I'm not coordinated enough to do that, so its always leggings, never tights. I used to wear tights in my younger days when I was a bit more agile!
