My Travel Toiletries (Winter 2013 Update)

[@deborahharrold5449]

Still loving all these older videos

[@dreamdesignmom]

Great video. I love how everything has its own bag. I'm only 22 and I learn so much from you, you'd be surprised how many girls and women out there that don't have a mom or person to show them how to take care of themselves like you do. You inspire me so much to be a better person.

[@islandgal1973]

Exactly! People are way too harsh about Jen. You can tell she's the sweetest person so I don't understand why people are so against her! Probably jealous!!

[@michellejones1665]

Keep in mind one thing about negative comments. I realized that in watching our favorite youtubers like Jen,we begin to feel like they are our friends, just like our real friends we know and love. And we might have a tendency to blurt something out that we would tell our friends, like girl! What are u doing, r u crazy, etc. however this familiarity doesnt necessarily translate in a comment from a stranger. We feel familiar with Jen but not necessarily vice versa.

[@linziball3544]

Please do an updated one! I've watched this over 10 times!! haha!

[@apfelprincess45]

I know, I go to this and many of Jen's other packing vids whilst I eat my lunch

[@ilikejumprope]

Has anyone ever felt the need to clean a diamond while on a trip?

[@kimgriffith1826]

Jen, I pack just like you. I love to have my own things. I like them to be organized according to ,like makeup items, bathing items etc. I buy all travel sizes that I can or use decanters for the other. I will confess you helped me on all this organization . Thank you so much. You are the best. And I just love you. Thanks for everything.

[@makebelievezz]

I travel at least twice a year and keep my travel toiletries always packed and ready to go. So much easier and efficient and you always know when to replace an item when you run out. Good vid, thanks : D

[@warmcozy]

I recently had my purse stolen (two weeks ago), and as part of putting together the list of items for my homeowner's insurance adjuster I came across your blog today listing my now stolen clear cosmetic clutch that The Container Store no longer carries. Funny because I've been subscribed to your channel for years after coming across it doing a search for The Pottery Barn's vanity towers. Anyway, good thing you list everything because it's helping me right now. Good stuff.

[@EEN63]

I use several separate bags to ensure I take what I need & to stay organized. I go through my "routine" & pack a bag for everything I need in the shower, another for post-shower moisturizers face/body, 1 for anything to do with my hair, another for make-up & 1-2 for special needs pool/beach/outside - depending on destination. I require lots of toiletries to get ready for 1 day or 15 days. The toiletries stay basically the same, however, the clothing, shoes & accessories increase significantly.

[@asprofty]

I take a separate medical kit, especially when traveling out of the country. Plus a general toiletries kit and a separate makeup kit. Jewelry also goes separately, if I pack any at all. Having separate kits gives me peace of mind as well.

[@nothingreally1234]

Jen, I completely respect the fact that you can pack what makes you comfortable. You are free to pack what you want, but this is a really eye opening video. I thought I was high maintenance. Again, you do you, girl.

[@sydreyme]

Not obsessive at all! If I'm going for a spa weekend, I'd need different "travel kits" than if I was going away for a ski trip. A longer trip means more needs. You are prepared for everything and have explained that not everything goes on every trip. For my emergency kit, in addition to the shout wipes and bandaids, I really like having a small sewing kit just in case.... Great video!

[@em-rf3yo]

If you don't want to wait forever for the video to start, it starts at 4:47! You're welcome! :)

[@yarbs83]

I love that Kate Spade bag. I'm able to fit all my toiletries and makeup in it for most any trip. I also like that I can just throw everything in there after I'm done getting ready and don't have to worry about forgetting anything in the hotel room because it's such a nice, open design.

[@craftytravelfrog]

Thanks for the video. I do the same thing -- the "bathroom" bag, the cosmetic bag, and a beside bag. Manage to accumulate bags from "free with purchase" occasions. Thanks to your suggestions, am loving the Shiseido squares and will look for a small container to keep them safe when traveling.

[@13msfranklin]

Different cases for different things is a good idea. I tend to stuff everything into a medium sized see-thru case, and if it doesn't fit, put it in a ziploc in my suitcase. But if I'd get a little larger case with divided areas, and get rid of multiple shampoo, cond, body stuff, I might be able to fit everything in one organized case.

[@countryrosehomemaker9761]

I love the mini candle! That's a nice way to make a hotel room more home-y. Great ideas on the separation of toiletries. TFS :)

[@Cath834]

Hi Jen! I'm with you on "having to be comfortable when travelling". My hubby and I are blessed to travel frequently, and I am starting to get more and more organized as it relates to toiletries. I'm much more comfortable knowing I can take some of the comforts of home with me. Great video!

[@WithWonder]

I hope to someday!

[@IamSnowbird]

I also always travel with my "nighttime" bag with all the things I need at night. I also have a medicine bag for my daily medicines and a just in case bag with things I might need like hydro cortisone or a glasses repair kit. Vera Bradley cases are the best. I use the ditty bag for my toiletries.

[@curvyuniquestyling]

Such a useful video. When I travel I tend to take the bare minimum but I find myself feeling uncomfortable about my skin care and shower stuff. I think for my next trip I am going to get some of the travel containers to decant my favorite things. I also keep a little collection of sample products and travel size things for me to grab.

[@NiftyNoelle]

This video reminds me of the scene from toy story where Mrs. Potato head is "packing" Mr. Potato head with all the things he might need just in case...like his angry eyes! LOL The items packed in there just keep coming and coming. WOW

[@margariteisland1]

Hi jen ...thanks for the video . I had friends who used to make fun of the things I packed when traveling but I know my needs. So I dont really think about it anymore. Love the video.

[@fiddlegirl71]

I have hanging cases in various sizes then select the one that is appropriate for the length of stay/amount of toiletries. What works for me would not work for Jen, but my way works for me and her way works for her. To each his own!

[@prettypaperz]

I teeter between packing all the items I need for comfort and going minimal. I also sometimes just use ziplock bags instead of my nice bags, this saves a lot of weight and they can be tucked easier into empty spaces in the suit case. You'd be surprised how much weight the bags add. That said I am inspired by jen to go back to my regular bags for packing. LOL

[@meldan526]

BTW Jen, I do have two kids and we're going on a trip soon...I bring two toiletry bags, one for me and for my kids...but I do admit where I overpack is with our clothes (I like options...lol) whereas you don't seem like you pack too many outfits...which is great. I sure my husband would love if I packed less clothes since he's the one who has to carry the luggage

[@BubblyDayz]

I take a lot of bath stuff also and don't even use half of it lol! I always think what if when I'm packing so I bring way more than I actually need. But it makes me feel good that I'm prepared for whatever gets thrown my way on trips!

[@15bakeer]

I agree with you Jen!! I'm very organized and I tend to watch these sort of videos for fun to see other peoples ideas. Great video I'm a lot like you the way I pack my toiletries.

[@dmkb1996]

Thanks for video! Great ideas. Now I see why you have so many cases! I tend to bring a lot. I don't want to be without my products!

[@YouHaveAGoodPoint]

I have a great homemade anti-static spray recipe. Fill a spray bottle with half water and half liquid fabric softener. It works and smells great! It doesn't mark up your clothes either.

[@nichcolepetersen3688]

I think you did a wonderful job!!! Love it, as I pack in the EXACT same way, my philosophy is that you can never be to prepared!!

[@sweetjane71]

Awesome video. I'm glad I'm not the only person who likes to have our "stuff. Your videos inspired me to clean out and organize. i started with my pantry, its neat and easy to restock :) so thank you being organized makes me happy

[@alipig00]

I like how you separate your items into bags based on where they go. I probably take as much stuff as you, but I cram it all in 1 or 2 bags. I'm going to try your method when I go to the beach in may! Thanks Jen! :D

[@cyndeg661]

Your hair is so cute curled!!

[@nicoledreibelbeis2192]

This was great! I usually bring a few separate kits: make-up in a cosmetic bag, jewelry in a roll up, and everything else in a Vera Bradley ditty bag. I love the ditty bag, but now I am thinking it might be easier for longer trips to have a sturdier case where things don't get jumbled around so much. I love the idea of having a separate pool bag. I usually buy a really cheap mini loofa for each trip and throw it away before coming home so that I don't have to bring home a wet loofa.

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

I like to keep the counter free when I am not in the hotel room too. Like fiddlegirl71, I use tri-fold hanging bag for toiletries and jewelry. It has clear vinyl sections to view what it is inside. For makeup, a medium size case for makeup. A small case for sun products to slip in a beach bag. I also refresh my walking pharmacy. By putting key rings on the zipper of my cases, I can slip them over the hanger of the bag. Everything is off the counter and on the hotel bathroom hook.

[@EverNish]

I luv the way you did yourhair and makeup.

[@caitlynbrooks523]

A Vera Bradley collection video would be awesome! :P

[@starbeauty0913]

This video is so helpful. I will be traveling soon and it's great. Thankyou for sharing.

[@Peskey2010]

Loved this video. I tend to pack very minimally when I travel, so it's always nice to live vicariously through others! As always, thanks for being one of the highlights of my day. You're a gem Jen!

Really great videos! I have cut down on stuff while travelling. I was in Asia for 3 wks and packed only a carry-on. Did not bring much 'beauty stuff'. Everything was in a small plastic bag that was approved to bring on board. I managed with it. In hotels they always gave us toothpaste, soap, shampoo etc. For clothes I did wash once in a while. Since I did this trip I will pack like that for future trip. Believe it or not it was nice to travel light. And for jewelry just one pair of earrings :)

[@nicola2379]

Great video...I have 3 business trips this year and 2 family vacation...I will be ordering my vera bradley cases this week along with the Vera bradley carryon...thank Jen this helps

[@loveshhisunsets08]

I am a little bag for everything person too! I have tons. They just work!! I have so many it's amazing how well I know exactly where everything is and which bag :) loved this video! I travel with Imodium, pepto, pain spray eft.... My HEATING PAD lol, I'm worse than you!!!

[@JessicaHaley22]

I only bring one bag with the bare necessities kind of like Don. Haha but I do use a make up bag but it is very little since I only wear eye makeup. Thanks for sharing Jen. You look beautiful! :!

[@SLPtoMD]

This is really helpful because I'm going on a week-long cruise in the spring. Usually the only trips that I've been on are like weekend long things in a hotel or camping trips lol, so this gives me great ideas for how to pack for the cruise!!! :) Thanks Jen

[@Nebulous310]

It makes me sad how you feel like you have to defend yourself when showing a video like this.... If you need to pack more to make your anxiety less when you're traveling, then go for it! You deserve it! Don't let the haters get to you :)

[@frivolositygirl]

Hi. I think its a normal travel size packet of Q tip you can find in most drug stores, target, walmart, etc. ... Just peel off the original Q tip sticker ..and reuse! :)

[@AmityMules]

Great video, Great ideas! I love, love, love my Vera Bradley carry-on, cosmetic cases and other bags for all the reasons you stated!!! I even treated myself to her eyeglass case; quilted, protects my glasses.

[@iloveutube921]

I admire organized people and the skills that accompany, but would have appreciated HOW you packed your cases in addition to or instead of the list of products. I would have loved an overhead view or any view that shows HOW things were organized. Thanks

[@raeesmerelda]

I've found the Q-tip box at CVS, Rite Aid and Target; Wal-Mart probably has it too (or any normal, stand-alone drug store). Check in their travel sections, not near the boxes of q-tips.

[@dogloverxz]

I'm addicted to your videos! I love to organize and I love Disney :) I joke and say you're my alter ego sometimes lol! Keep doing what you're doing, you're doing SUCH a great job on your videos!

[@AuroraTyas]

3 combs???? that's the number of pairs of socks I bring for a whole year travelling!

[@abismommy]

Hi Jen! I collect all my travel size, free sample stuff in a bin too. Then sort it out when I am ready to travel. I am very partial to LL Bean travel products. But you have given me some great ideas! Thanks!

[@BeautyQueen0123]

Your hair looks absolutely adorable curled! I have been watching your videos from the beginning and I dont recall ever seeing your hair curled. I love the slightly bigger piece of hair on my right when I was watching your video! Love ya girl!

[@deerobinson8045]

Hi Jen. I really need to get organized on my toiletries for traveling this was really helpful. Thanks

[@healthyeatingalways]

Would you be able to do a review on your clarisonics? I would love to see a review on what you think and how it works.

[@Sherrie561]

Love all the Vera, my fav cosmetic case brand.

[@Sabby19981]

On the subject of packing, where do you put your clothes in your luggage once they're dirty? I am known to just throw everything back into my suitcase in a jumbled gross mess, getting my clean clothes dirty too. And also, how do you stay comfortable on a plane? I always leave feeling like, itchy and greasy.

[@LeesaCeK]

Yay! Going on a trip very soon and loved this video! Thank you Jen! I very recently found your vlogs and with no time to spare, I inspired and hopeful for an organized future. Jen, your positive vlogs are so helpful. Looking fwd to keeping up with you!

[@celine22712]

I love your hair in this video

[@SillyMando2008]

I'm going on vaction at the end of April so I was happy to see this video

[@misskitoulana]

Oops.. Particularly if there is a musty smell as we found recently in Florida! Thanks for the videos!

[@ScentsationalShopper]

Can you do an updated skincare routine? I would love to see exactly what Origins products you use and how you use them. :)

[@Kraftykathy29]

I just love your videos... Would you do a tutorial video on how you do your nails.? Also I would love to see a video on what you have in your nightstand I got two and they are just filled with Junk..

[@TheSdck]

Jen, your hair style today looks super good!

[@iiAngelic]

you are so organized and neat!!!!!!!!! wow!!!!

[@tracey1187]

Why do people ask to see these videos and then complain. So what if she takes too much like she said it is what makes her comfortable.I also have two kids, they are adults now but when they were little and we traveled we didn't take an excessive amount of stuff, they pretty much used what we did.

[@kmscrap]

Love your hair curled. Love the video too!

[@DawnH123]

You didn't show the round Vera Bradley case that I saw in one of your travel blogs.

[@tracey1187]

@ Jennifer I have really enjoyed watching all 3 of your channels plus Winnie's. I have also learned some good organization tips.

[@NiftyNoelle]

I agree. Im not sure we really need to see/know that. If you have questions about dental hygiene, you should be asking your dentist, not a "guru" on KZbin.

[@coachguru67]

Your hair looks so good in this video!!! Thumbs this comment up if you agree and think she should do a tutorial and wear he hair like this more often :)

[@noworries7617]

I love this video! Really great ideas! I have some Vera Bradley bags and they are now going to get used! Thanks!

[@TinaJackson]

Don doesn't wear cologne? I was waiting for the cologne. LOL I honestly was kind of curious what he wears. I am always curious what cologne men & women wear. I have a big case like that but is black and looks like a purse almost. I always think it's too big but I'd have several smaller ones if I didn't have the one big one.

[@MissMeBeauty1]

yer buddy

[@organizedmama78]

Great vid as usual, Jen! As a dentist, I find it "interesting" that some of your subscribers are interested in your hygiene routine. Perhaps with your influence, you can get people to floss faster than I can... Haha! At the end of the day, I hope everyone knows to ask their dental professional for dental advice. Routines/choice of dental products should be catered to individual needs ;)

[@kim3lise]

Jen please do a jewelry care video both sterling silver and gold white gol and with diamonds please

[@1guiltfree]

I think its great to have multiple bags!! Thanks for sharing such great tips! I hate digging thru a bag and dumping the contents out to find that something, something.LOL! Your the best Jen! :)

[@fairygoddesse]

I have the problem of packing too little and not having what I need when on vacation. I thinking packing more would be better.

[@NYVirgo1972]

This is such a helpful video- I LOATH hotel toiletries. Even upscale hotels I find use less than desireable brands. (except Chatem Bars Inn on Cape Cod which stocks all the rooms with L'occitane) Other than that most hotels are Poop. xxx

[@frivolositygirl]

I think she was referring to herself .. not Don. ...Im guessing she wants to leave the bathroom smelling fresh, and the spray does the trick! :)

[@DIYBEAUTYTIPS88]

you are perfect!!! your videos are so useful to me cause this year im going to be traveling a LOT!!! and moving to utah!!! would love to meet you someday!!!

[@Cali2Grl]

Great video Jen! I carry similar items... only additional thing would be a small flatl lint brush I purchased at the Container Store. You just never know...haha Thx :)

[@misskitoulana]

Hi Jen, one item I always pack is a travel candle or two. Usually, the ones from BBW are perfect for the hotel room and sitting areas. They really help scent the room, particular

[@roztankes1]

Jen, where did you buy those terrific laundry bags that you use for travel? I think they were orange. Thank you so much, watching your videos have really transformed our home and how I do things.

[@preservid]

Here is my question? With having to put all your liquid into nothing more than one Sealed 3X5 baggy, How do you do that?

[@littleblackbird27]

Your hair looks great with a few curls!!

[@Ruthie97]

I could watch your travel/organizing videos all day! lol! And your hair looks so cute like this!! :)

[@untchoeu]

Hair looks very pretty!

[@zmcp06]

omg u carry SOOOOOO many things with u.

[@gabbylee6882]

zmcp06 it is just how she travels

[@smilebackgoldfish]

they sell some vera bradley stuff at most hallmark stores, or they have a website

[@ytrap2007]

REQUEST- Could you please do a video about your dental routine? xxx

[@frivolositygirl]

Hi Jen, I think more people pack like you than you think! You are well organized, but not over the top :)

[@happagirl16]

I actually think she was referring to not wanting the bathroom to smell after her when she's with her significant other. But maybe that's just how I interpreted it.

[@akstacey88]

Hey Jen - my new favourite toiletries bag is the LL bean family size personal organizer. It fits everything I need and keeps it all in one place. You should check it out.

[@xxxtacy]

Thanks so much!!! I love this video!!! I needed some pointers on all of the items that I pack while traveling.

[@coolgirl0508]

Could u pls do a video abt ur lush collections that are not bath products?

[@aliciasibole4673]

cute bags! nice products! you go girl! (go on vacation!)

[@Snaphotsthroughtime]

I always take a ton of things. Everyone knows I am the person to ask if they need anything :) I do not have it as organized as you though. I may consider seperating into different p
