I hope you had a nice, long holiday weekend! Michael and I are still bouncing around Europe – We’re in Berlin today and heading to Amsterdam tomorrow!
Following up on last week’s Travel Tuesday post where I shared what I packed for two weeks in Europe in only a carry on bag, today I’m sharing my travel toiletry necessities. This is exactly what I have with me and so far, so good!
Prior to our trip I invested in two new clear, plastic toiletry bags and these easy squeeze bottles. Game. Changer. I love these bags – they’re rather large but still fit the standard TSA requirement. Also, I know the TSA rules say you’re only allowed one of these bags, but I’ve always carried two in my carry on luggage, and I’ve never had a problem!
I try to keep my skincare routine as normal as possible when traveling. A useful tip for making sure you can fit all of your necessities, if your usual face creams, eye makeup remover etc. doesn’t come in a travel size, try to remember to save old sample size containers and use those to package up your creams etc. I have so many of those little clear (with the black lid) Bobbi Brown sample jars that I like to use!
Without further ado …

Interested in learning more about my favorite credit card that I use for travel (earn 2x points on any travel purchase!)?! Check out this post and compare my favorite card with other travel cards here!
I need to save those little sample jars! They’re always the first to go when I’m on a cleaning binge, LOL. Also, those clear plastic containers seem like such a good purchase…Ziplocs always make me feel like something is going to leak or break!
Haha I just keep a few on hand! You should definitely get a pair of the bags for you and Joe! They fit a ton and are nice a clean/compact!
