This weekend I'm going away with the Navigators group at my university. Being the list lover that I am, I love packing lists so I thought I'd share mine with you! If you have any questions just comment below, also, I love suggestions for posts you want to see!
All the little Things
I usually find myself packing lots and lots of little pieces of things in my luggage. These get lost easily, so I've established a method of organizing everything so nothing gets lost and everything is easy to find. In case you were wondering, I got all the bags here from Ipsy (for $10 a month I get 5 beauty samples and a bag. Let me know if you want to know more, or click on the word "Ipsy" for a link!) I've broken each bag down into separate parts, you can click on the photos below the main photo for a closer look. I keep 4 of the 5 bags in a small reusable bag from Urban Outfitters.
| Everyday Bag I actually carry this bag with me everyday, in my purse or backpack, it will be in my purse, not my suitcase, but it's still important! 1. Everyday Necessities EOS Lotion, NYX Lip Butter, Softlips Cube, Hand Sanitizer (I added this later) 2. Snacks Granola Bar, I also sometimes have gum or chocolate too 3. Medication Cough Drops, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, Midol, and Benadryl 4. Bandaids Princess Bandaids, Cleaning Wipe, Antiseptic 5. Feminine Products |
Bedside Extras This is a set of a few of the things I usually keep next to my bed and I have a hard time going without. 1. Medication Case Medications for the Weekend, Vitamins in an empty pocket (they get mushy when mixed with my meds) 2. Medications Vapor Inhaler (for stuffy noses), ZzzQuil, Visine Eye Drops ...as you can tell I have severe allergies 3. General Items Sleep Mask, Q-tips, Tie Hairband, EOS Lip Balm. | |
| Makeup I have a fairly large collection of makeup at this point. (I have no idea when this happened!) For trips I only bring my favorite and basic pieces. 1. Tools Angled Face Brush, Two Sided Eye Brush, Eyelash Curler 2. Eye Products Natural Eye Shadow, Glittery Gold Cream Eye Shadow, Liquid Eyeliner, Kohl Eyeliner, Covergirl Super Thick Lash Mascara 3. Lip Products Babylips Cherry Me Lip Balm, J Cat Wonder Lip Paint 4. Face Products Laura Mercier Primer, Model Co. Blush |
General Bathroom Products This bag is full of stuff for my shower and morning and nighttime rituals. 1. Face Cleaning Homemade Make Up Remover (baby shampoo and water), Face Wash Mask, Cotton Rounds, Q-Tips 2. Shower Products Shampoo and Conditioner Samples (perfect for weekend trip, I got these at Whole Foods), Travel Size Body Wash 3. Tooth Care Toothbrush in Case (doesn't actually fit in the bag), Travel Size Toothpaste (from the dentist), Floss (I forgot it here!) | |
| Accessories The things that top off an outfit are the jewelry and hair accessories, they fit nicely in one bag. I never know if it's going to be a simple day or a fancy day, so this covers it all. I have the hair accessories for my hair down, pulled back, and a bun. Jewelry Statement Necklace, Generic Earrings (held together on a button), Simple Necklace (actually my purity ring on a chain since I can't wear it because it hurts) Hair Accessories Simple Headband, Fancy Headband, Small and Large Bows, Two Hair Ties, Mini Hair Clips, Bobby Pins |
Clothes
Travel Day
It's important to have clothes that are easy to layer, especially when going from hot car full of people to cold outside all day!
T-shirt - My best friend and I both have this shirt, I love you Haley!!
Jeans - These are generic skinny jeans, I will wear them with each of my outfits this weekend.
Sweatshirt - This is my sweatshirt from Caribou, it's super fuzzy and warm. I will also use this with all my outfits!
Running Shoes - I love these shoes, they are so much more comfortable than anything else I own and don't hurt my ankles.
Belt - I always have to jump around and pull these jeans up all day.

Pajamas
Every vacation less than a week only needs one pair of pjs!
Pants - I picked fuzzy pants for this trip since I'll be sleeping in a sleeping bag. My bestie Emily got me these because they have pockets!! You know you're jealous!
Matching Top - I call these pj sweaters! I'm super obsessed.
T-shirt - Sometimes the pj sweater is too warm so I layer.
Socks - I anticipate being cold so I'm bringing my favorite fuzzy socks to keep my tootsies warm!

Other Days
For the other two days I just brought two other shirts and matching accessories
Sweater Shirt - I love this shirt because it's warm and basic, it looks great with everything.
Cozy Shirt - I'm going to need a shirt for the last day of the trip, which will also be a travel day, so I chose a cozy shirt. This one is long sleeves but it's an athletic shirt so it isn't too warm.
Matching Jewelry- You've already seen this earlier!

Winter Wear
Everything but the boots will be with my in the car. The boots will be in my luggage.
Warm Coat - My tip for buying coats: buy one with a fuzzy inside, it'll stay warm on the inside unlike a traditional ski coat.
Scarf - I'm crazy about the infinity scarves, they're so much easier to wear, I don't have to think about which side is longer!
Gloves - These gloves are $5 from target, they have special string in thumb and index fingers so I can use them with my iPhone!
Knit Wrap - I will always choose this over a hat. This is just as warm, and I can wear it with ponytails and buns, which I need!
Boots - I anticipate snow in Colorado, not so great for running shoes.

Purse...Car bag....Whatyamacallit...

Cords Rechargable Battery, USB Cube, Battery Cord, Phone Cord, Headphones 3. School Supplies Clipboard, Printer Paper, Copies of Math Homework, Pencil, Erasable pen, highlighter |
Well, that's all for today, and as you read this I'll probably already be on the road! I hope this was helpful, and if not at least it could be interesting to see every little thing I pack! (This one's for my stalkers! Just kidding!) If you have any ideas for more thing you'd love to see more posts about, just let me know! Have a happy weekend!
