Packing light is truly always the goal- sometimes I get it right, other times not so much! And I need to get some mini pots to travel with my too large miracle balms! Hope you are having a fab time in Italy!
Haha, me, too - I *might* have needed to get an extra bag allowance for the return trip (although that was mostly for packing in the sack of amaretti biscuits from my Italian aunt and uncle! 😂). Let me know if you try the Miracle Balm decant - I was amazed how little I needed in the end, so would say you can definitely go for the tiniest pots to cover you for a few days. And thank you - a lovely few days away, and just now catching up! XO
This is fabulous as always and such great advice. My youngest as you know flew to Rome earlier this year and there were days of stress due to her not being sure how to manage her products because of the liquid restrictions. Lots of decanting into little pots lol. I'm showing this to her as she will love it for next time. Hope you have an amazing trip xoxoxo PS Cindy was always my favourite supermodel, I so wanted to look like her lol 😂
Thank you so much, Fiona - the liquids thing is enough to strike panic in the calmest and most organised of us (and I'm DEFINITELY not in that camp! 😂). Getting that multi-pack of travel pots and bottles from Amazon really saved the day, it's so versatile and worked out really well when I was away. (And 🙌 re: Cindy - I interviewed her for a health and fitness magazine once, and she was one of the loveliest interviewees - so down to earth and kind!). XO
Isn't it a great skirt?! 🙌 SO easy and comfortable - I got it in black, too, and wore them pretty much all week in rotation! Thank you, it was a lovely break! XO
I love this post as I always try to travel with carry-on only - it saves so much hassle. All the tips and tricks are so helpful. Happy holidaying to you 🤗
Thanks so much, Sue, I must admit, with a few flight delays and waits with heavy bags, I did wonder about not trying to do all carry-on next time. But then it's so lovely to arrive and not wait for your baggage (or worry about it getting lost - not that that's ever happened to us, thankfully, but British Airways once lost a baby carseat - resulting in a last minute dash on arrival to an Italian baby store! 🤪). Thank you so much, just back and finally catching up now! 😅). XO
Enjoy your hols. This has been great as I'm off for 3 nights with hand luggage tomorrow and still need to pack! Love that skirt and May have to buy in both colours!
Thank you SO much, and hope you have had the most wonderful time! And you must let me know if you got the skirt/s!! (I LIVED in the black and white all week!) 🥰
I knooow!!!! Baby Cindy 😂!! (And how much does Kaia look like her mama now?!) And OF COURSE - I totally forgot about Trinny, the Queen of the stackable, portable makeup solutions! 🙌 🙌 Joy-full travels, and thank YOU for all your brilliant packing tips, I followed your "carry-on fold" method and it worked a treat! 🥰
GRAZIE, bella!! 🇮🇹 And 🙌 re: the gel - the good news is, the airports were all 100% fine with my popping the full tube in another clear bag, so no worries there in case you want to skip the messy decant! XO
Oh this is timed perfectly! Thanks Jen - I'm off on a trip with friends next week and it's hand luggage only, so I'll be picking up some of those little travel bits. And that skirt! I need that in both colours :-) I loving your little beauty & style magazine coming into my inbox! x
Oh so pleased it was good timing, and hope you've had the most fab time with your friends! I found the Amazon travel bottle set worked really well, so will definitely re-use (even for makeup bag, the mini-mini pots were great for my Miracle Balm blush and bronzer). And thank you so much for your lovely words - means so much! XOXO

Baby Cindy! Love this post— and Trinny London always gives you an extra pot with a lid. So I will soon be decanting too! Thanks for the suggestions 😘
