I know guys i'm scared for myself Luckily, I think at this point i'm a pro at last minute packing and vacation prep So if you're ever in the same situation that I am, don't worry I'm going to show you guys how to lock in so that we can have an overnight glow up feel and look the best and Pack fast and efficiently so that you can enjoy yourself and have the best vacation possible We can do this you guys time is ticking as I speak So i'm going to stop talking and let's get to work so we can be vacation ready Okay, we're gonna start by planning and packing our clothes in my opinion This can really be the most tedious process But I have found that this is the most efficient way where I plan all of my outfits I'm, actually editing this after my trip and as you can see I literally wore all the clothes that I brought and that's because I pre-planned everything if you have time I highly recommend you to do this This will genuinely save so much space in your suitcase You're not gonna bring a bunch of outfits that you're just not gonna wear I was gonna go to new york during fashion week So I wanted my office to be and to kind of save space in my suitcase I like to pick clothes and accessories where I really feel like I could kind of mix and match with each other I literally I think only use like two bags and then I switch between the heels and something that I also really like to Do is I like to lay my outfit out on the ground with the shoes and accessories So it makes it super easy when i'm changing and i'm just like let me look at my little photo album and see what outfits I brought and I kid you not this will literally save you 50% of space in your suitcase I used to just kind of throw things in and then I wouldn't even wear like half the outfit I also always make sure to bring one set of workout clothes and then also just some basics You never know when you might need them and they're honestly just good to have on hand Now that we kind of have everything laid out get yourself some packing cube and not just the regular packing cubes But the compression ones you're gonna see how much stuff I can fit in these cubes So you can either organize it by tops bottoms dresses or you could do it Maybe by outfit since I kind of already take photos of my outfits already know what goes with what so I kind of just organize It by category guys all of my clothes fit in four of those cubes. It's so crazy and then for shoes I have these little plastic shoe bags from amazon shoes are honestly so dirty and it's just like I can't just throw them in with My clothes, but I love these Alright guys, let's do some self-care before bed because we deserve it Also, we have such a long day ahead of us So there's nothing like doing a little pampering for yourself before bed like any good self-care routine goes Obviously we have to start by taking off our makeup I mean you guys know me the only way that I take off my makeup is with double cleansing So i'm starting with my favorite double cleanser Current one i'm using right now is bio dance and then i'm going in with the face shop cleanser This is gonna get your pores squeaky clean Like I swear your face is gonna feel so soft and clean after and after a long day wearing makeup It just feels so good I'm gonna go in with a little bit of teeth whitening strip So i'm gonna brush my teeth first and then i'm gonna put on a face mask Although I probably should have done this after I shower I feel like my skin was kind of freaking out and I was like I just need to give myself a little tlc After about 20 minutes and I took the mask off. I then took my hair out. Oh my gosh This feels so good did a quick little everything shower And then I just went in with my regular nighttime skincare routine at this point I could not wait to get in bed you guys like we have a long day ahead of us We have so much packing still to do. So good night ladies, and i'll see you tomorrow Good morning guys, that was a quick little eight hours of sleep. I'm up i'm energized I checked into my flight that's important. We got to get good seats. There's no time for us Okay, we've got to get to work. I'm just putting in some hair oil on my hair I feel like my hair has been feeling a little dry recently and everything's just a little bit drier on the plane I'm gonna tie my hair back just because I have a lot to do today And honestly hair being in my face is so over stimulating for me I'm gonna go in with the same foam cleanser that I used last night Oh my god, it's just so good And then after i'm gonna jump into my regular skincare routine and just kind of go through my whole process when it comes to Packing skincare and beauty products. Okay guys, let's do some skincare. I'm just gonna do my regular skincare routine Nothing too crazy But we do want to be really moisturized because flights are dry and I don't like dry skin starting off with some lip balm This is how I make sure I don't forget anything I'm gonna put everything that I use on the side So then when I go and pack it i'm like it's all right there like I use everything so i'm not gonna accidentally forget stuff I just started with the biome and milky toner love this toner down if you want hydrating toners go for milky toners I would also keep in mind what size like fluid ounces your products are already know i'm not gonna have space in my carry-on bag So i'm checking all of my skincare But if you are carrying on your skincare or honestly just any products make sure that it's under the amount of fluid ounces that you Can bring my skin has lowkey been freaking out recently. This is my best friend This is the inua rice 7 plus ceramide barrier serum. This always saves my skin barrier another biome product This is the phyto amuse and glow serum But this same theory that I use to pack my skincare I also do with makeup because every time i'm rushing out of the house if i'm just randomly grabbing products being like Oh, I need that. I need that. I will always forget something. It's either sunscreen or moisturizer or face washing, you know That's so annoying, but I promise this hack is gonna save your life You see the glow that's coming back into my face Like we want to be as hydrated as possible for our flight moisturizer. I use it's a torrid and soothing cream Also can't forget about sunscreen using the naked sundays cabana clear because you're closer to the sun Especially if you have a window seat and you like to keep your window open. I would highly recommend my sunscreen Okay, that hydration that glow guys. We still have to actually like pack all of our stuff and put it into the suitcase I don't know about you, but i'm kind of hungry. So let's go eat some food first On days like this where I literally only have 24 hours to get ready for a trip I don't know about you, but i'm too lazy to cook i'm gonna put you guys on okay I literally love factor so much like i've ordered from them multiple times.

Okay. I love you guys now. Let's get back to packing Similar to how I pack my skincare is the same way that I kind of pack my makeup Luckily, I kind of had to put on makeup anyways because I had some other filming I had to do and I had to run Some errands, but if you have time I really recommend for you to just do your makeup step by step and just either put it off on the side Or just pack it into your vanity or makeup bag as you go This way you will not forget a single thing I can't even count the amount of times before I started doing this where I was like, oh my god Yes, I have everything and then I go and do my makeup and i'm like, oh, okay So I have foundation. I have concealer. I have cream bronzer But I have no sponge no foundation brush and then i'm like, oh so with my fingers, I guess but it happens more frequently Than you think you might think you have everything but I truly find that this is the only way where I will Actually remember to bring everything that I am by the way I also link everything that I use so you can also follow that List kind of in the description and kind of tick it off one by one as you pack if you don't have time to kind Of just like do your makeup, which I totally understand. It's such an extra step, but I fear I love it and I fear it works I feel like the art of perfecting a great carry-on bag is not talked about enough This is literally everything that you some melatonin gummies Especially if you have a long flight some gum and then for skincare, I like to bring sunscreen I also love this serum mist so I don't have to touch my face skin also gets pretty dry So I love the medicube mask a hypochlorous acid spray helps kill off any bacteria some moisturizer and then also face wash in case You want to wash your face while you're on the flight? Obviously a lip balm skin gets dry everywhere on the plane So some lotion and then rollerball perfume and then hand sanitizer is a must non-negotiable Okay, because traveling is nasty like I do not want to get sick Love to also bring makeup wipes just in case say you wore makeup on the flight Take off your makeup when you're on the flight without having to wash your whole face Organize all of your cores by putting them into a little pouch and please get a portable charger If you don't have one I bring my little wired headphones an extra pair of socks and then any type of medication that you might need I love to bring my ipad instead of my laptop You gotta download those movies girl two things a girl always needs a tampon and a hair tie And that's everything that I like to keep in my carry-on Don't mind the outfit change. I had to run a few errands and I filmed some makeup videos But we're back to packing at this point. My flight was in about I want to say five hours So time is a little bit tight i'm packing all of my toiletries and essentials that I need to shower and just kind of unwind something that I really like to do Is calling the hotel beforehand just to see what they have so that I don't bring extra like if they already have Toothbrushes and toothpaste and like shampoo and conditioner that i'm just not gonna bring it I always bring like seven thousand pads and tampons I do not want to be caught in a situation where i'm like, oh I need it and I just didn't bring any I like to bring all my hair tools and just like stuff to do my slick back Once again, i'll have all the products linked below so you can kind of use that as a list And then when it comes to packing my actual suitcases, it's kind of like filling in a puzzle So what I like to do is everything that I cannot afford to lose I will put on my carry-on thankfully i've never lost luggage before but i'm so scared that I will and then i'll just have no Outfits because everything's in my check-in bag so i'll just kind of like shuffle things around really think about what do I really really need and what I Might not need as much just in case my luggage gets stuck Obviously also make sure that liquid that are over 3.4 ounces go in your check-in bag I also got two air tags and I keep one in my carry-on and then one in my check-in It's just super helpful to see where my bag is and now my two bags are packed and now we can get to the airport girl I know I said we have to rush to go to the airport But guys look at those nails. I kind of busted them up while I was packing thankfully earlier I picked up another one of these sets at ulta. These are my favorite press-ons ever It's from glamnetic and these are honestly like the most natural looking press-ons like nail artists will come up to me and be like Where'd you get your nails done? I'll snip off all the press-ons first and then i'll go in and kind of just file my nails down This will just kind of create a really good base glue to adhere to it comes with a little alcohol pad And then just like wipe all of your fingers with it to remove the oils This is probably the most important part, but it's really tedious. This is sizing your fingernails So you want to make sure that the press-on nail that you pick goes sidewall to sidewall? So that there's not any spacing because if there's spacing then water and moisture is going to get in and then your nail is just not Going to last as long as it should when it comes to the glue I like putting a little bit on my actual nail and then also a little bit in the press-on and then I just Hold the press-on nail on my finger for a little bit You can just repeat that step for your whole hand And then I will also take the whole pack with just in case I need to reapply any of the nails Okay, so one of my errands earlier was actually getting my toes done had to do it. Okay, I had to do it I did a little like french obviously I used opi bubble bath I know you're thinking how do you even have the time for this? You know, sorry a girl needs to feel cute and my toes were looking real crusty But look at how cute they are 10 out of 10 do not regret this at all I was in such a rush. I didn't have time to do an outro You guys new york was a blast honestly My packing tips helped so much like i'm so obsessed with all of my outfits and this was my first time in new york So I kind of played tourist and explored all of manhattan Thank you guys so much for packing with me And I really hope that some of these tips are gonna help you out when you go on your hot girl vacay Let me know what other videos you want to see and I love you guys.
