Over the years (I'm 70) I've learned that having a waist/hip strap on your pack will relieve your shoulders from feeling the weight. The shoulder straps maintain balance. I travel with 3 packs (carry-on, personal item, and a foldable ultra-light day pack) and all have waist straps. I navigate airports very easily, and can carry them a good distance. A bonus, since they're squishable, I can fit them to any airline's size requirement.

Which backpack do you use with a hip strap? I'm looking for a personal item bag - so dimensions must be 16x12x6.

Mini sound machines when you have a family sleeping in one room. They aren’t perfect, but helps drown out noise of a family sleeping in one room.

I like packing cubes because: It makes finding items in the bottom of my bag easier. Nothing comes un-rolled/folded when I move them to get something beneath.

I love the Owala bottle. I got it (as a gift) before it went viral and I have not used any of my other bottles or cups (yes, not even my Stanley) since I got it. It comes with me everywhere, everyday. It is perfect for flying. It doesn't leak, ever, and it is not too bulky.

100% agree on the little green fan. I bought the same one because I need air flow on an airplane but it dies so fast, you can't use it while it's charging, and propping it up was just a pain. Have since found much better options, but glad to know it wasn't just me on the fan flop.

Hi! Great video! I have most of those products and I agree with a lot of your reviews. The one thing I don’t have that I always wondered about is the Shiseido sunscreen stick. Did you use it over make up? If so, how did it do?
@rachel.schmidt
4 ай бұрын
Thank you so much!! The sunscreen stick works amazing over light makeup, like the tinted sunscreen/concealer and cream products like cream blush. I love it for the beach/pool when I’m wearing lighter make up and I’m in the sun for a long time. For days I’m wearing more makeup like a wedding, I prefer to use a setting spray with spf so I don’t risk messing up my makeup!

There are portable fans that are great, bladeless neck fans are good, I have a few handheld ones. 2 of them double as power banks but aren’t as strong but the ones that don’t have double duty are definitely better fans. I go to conventions and I have a couple of them with me

I like rhodium-plated sterling silver for travel rings, and for other jewelry as well. It doesn't tarnish and the jewelry is really reasonably priced on eBay.
