HOW I PACK MY CARRY ON: TRAVEL SECRETS + ESSENTIALS!
MY CARRY ON SUITCASE:
White Marble Suitcase + Packing Cubes from Calpak
1. PACKING CUBES
Packing cubes have changed my life! I use them for clothing organization and storage. They save so much space and keep me organized! This way you can pack MORE clothes in smaller spaces! I use my suit case for clothing storage so this way I can fit as much as possible into my carry on! This is how I fit weeks of clothes in a carry on!
MY DUFFEL BAG:
Louis Vuitton
I keep my makeup and toiletries with me in my duffel bag. This is also where I will store extra pairs of shoes [I wear my largest shoes with me on the flight, usually my gym shoes, and then I’ll pack a nicer pair or two. The perks of only wearing neutrals= everything matches]
PURSE INCEPTION
If I need to bring an extra bag to wear with different outfits, I’ll pack it and use that as a pseudo packing cube so I can have as much storage as possible. I’ll pack things like beauty products, and my gel nail polish in here.
ESSIE GEL COUTURE:
42 shades:
essie.com/gel-couture.aspx
top coat (it’s a 2-step system!): essie.com/gel-couture/colors/top-coat/top-coat.aspx
make the cut:
essie.com/gel-couture/colors/Neutrals/make-the-cut.aspx
hang up the heels:
essie.com/gel-couture/colors/Deeps/hang-up-the-heels.aspx
I will also pack my purse that I normally carry and in here I will pack things that I want to keep with me during the flight. I’ll take this purse out once I’m on the plane and keep it with me. In here I keep:
-Portable charger
-Gum
-My Headphones
-Sheet mask [yes. I wear sheet masks on flights. No shame]
Some of my other essentials:
Dry Shampoo [I use powder instead of a spray, easier for TSA and I also genuinely like it more]
Makeup Remover Wipes [for use on flight and during trip]

Hey guys! Todays video are some of my best life hacks for having a clean and organized home. I use these tips in my daily cleaning routine + theyve helped me become a cleaner, more organized person! Everyone loves the concept of spring cleaning, but it might seem overwhelming to actually do. These are my tips on how to have an organized home and be productive!
Im a naturally disorganized type of person. I like things to be clean, but Im also the kind of person who has tons of clothes piling up in their room. These are hacks I learned in my own life that really helped me be more productive, be more organized and keep my house clean!
These are easy life hacks + easy ways that you can realistically keep your house clean. If you learn to develop these habits to keeping your house clean, it will begin to seem easy and come naturally to you. Ive been doing these for so long that they are just my habits for keeping a clean house!
These are also my tips on how to be a more organized person: by writing lists, separating things by task + timelines, you will find it easier to accomplish more and have a more organized life!
ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE // SUMMER CLEANING ROUTINE!
1. 20 Minute speed clean
Daily trick: set a timer for 20 minutes and challenge yourself to clean in this time. I also like to listen to a podcast / audiobook during the time to make it more enjoyable.
2. Declutter your clothes
The start of the season is the perfect time to go through your clothes and get rid of things you havent worn / wont wear. If you want more specific tips on what to get rid of in your closet, click my video above for the top 10 things that shouldnt be in your closet!
3. Sell + Donate clothes
I like to sell / donate the clothes that I end up cleaning out!
4. Display what inspires you
This could be seasonal decor, for me its seasonal outfits that I put out in my rolling rack. I change out the clothes on my rolling rack each season and update it with pieces that inspire me for that time!
5. Declutter surfaces
An instant trick to making your home / space look more organized is by clearing the surfaces. This will make any area look instantly clean and put together!
6. Go through excess
Any extra beauty products you havent used? Stuff in a junk drawer you havent organized? Now is the time to go through it! I like to give away products to friends if I have things I havent used that they would like.
7. Organize by groups
Color code, group by function and order, separate into organizes. I love to color code my closet because it makes putting things away so easy! I also love to separate my bathroom beauty products into different containers that go in cabinets. I found my containers from target!
8. Pick a specific room or area
If the thought of spring cleaning sounds overwhelming, pick a specific area you will focus on [ex: your desk, your closet, etc] by narrowing it down to one space it will seem much more manageable!
9. Set timelines on specific tasks:
It helps me to set specific days + times for things I want to accomplish. Wedding planning seems overwhelming when I have to still be working and doing my normal life routine: I like to set aside specific weeks for things [one week videographers, one week florists] and set aside specific times [one hour each day etc] that I will dedicate to that task. That way it seems much more manageable and Im getting everything done that I need to in life, work and wedding planning!
These are easy life hacks that will you develop habits to have a clean + organized house ,and help you to be a more productive + organized person!

Hey guys!
Todays video has been highly requested on Instagram [if youd like to suggest video ideas / see more of my daily life like this I suggest following me over on Instagram! I post a ton of my day to day life and then if it gets requested over there I will usually make the video for it here]
I posted that I went dairy free and a lot of you were asking me to film a video explaining why I went dairy free and why I made the diet and lifestyle changes that I did. I in no way did this to lose weight, but going dairy free did ultimately encourage weight loss as well as a ton of other health benefits.
I struggle with sinus infections and constantly getting sick, but Im also allergic to a lot of antibiotics. I can only take a couple of different types. Im trying to live as healthy as I can to avoid getting sick / avoid needing to take antibiotics, because there are so few types that actually work for me.
Last summer I was sick for 3+ months and my sinus infection had gotten so bad that I actually couldnt hear out of one of my ears. It was so painful and so frustrating, and I didnt understand why my body couldnt get over these infections.
I was told that dairy causes your body to produce mucus, and that if i cut it out of my diet for 30 days my body could detox all of the mucus out of my system and it would help clear my sinuses. I thought I would try removing dairy from my diet / doing a dairy free diet for the next month to see if it would help.
Going on a dairy free diet not only helped clear my sinuses [havent had a sinus infection since] but it also helped get rid of my stomach bloating that Ive had for years. I am no longer bloated / my stomach is flat again. The painful bumps I used to get on my chin are no longer a thing. I saw so many positive changes in my health from cutting out dairy from my diet, that I decided to continue being dairy free.
If you guys liked this video, please make sure to give it a thumbs up to let me know. Also let me know if you have any dairy free substitutions that you love or any other tips you may have!
Thanks so much for watching! xx HOW I LOST WEIGHT + CHANGED MY HEALTH](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eoT0XHCVnjg/mqdefault.jpg)
