pack for a winter trip. First, I have my large Away checked bag with two

compartments: the left for rigid things that can't be compressed and the right

for things that can be compressed, like clothes. This bag also comes with a

laundry bag that can neatly be tucked away when not in use. Time to undo the

compression pad and get out them packing cubes! I got this as a set from Amazon

it's linked down below, as is this luggage. Now, my trip is a week long but I

plan to do laundry once. So I packed for three days worth of clothes. I'm starting

with three pants and three thermal pants. Thermal pants are super useful in the

cold. I also packed stockings too because you can never have too many layers. Then

I put them all in a packing cube. Packing cubes keep things nice and neat and easy

to find. Now I also packed a thermal shirt, three

long-sleeve shirts, and an ugly sweater for Christmas.

I almost forgot about my evening dress! The next cube is dedicated to PJs. I

packed three PJ sets and PJ pants, of course. The next cube is for

undergarments. Now all that's left are my scarves, my gloves, and my hat. I then put

the compression pad on top, where I plan to put some of my toiletries inside. Then

I compress. I'm not packing my parka. I'm actually wearing it to the airport to

save space. Now for boots. I have these fashion boots that are easily foldable

compared to these sturdy snow boots that can't fold. I'll wear the latter to the

airport and fold the fashion boots into a zipped bag.

Since this is a holiday trip, I'm packing my bridesmaids proposal boxes and some

Christmas presents too, of course. Also going in the incompressible side is my

makeup bag and my toiletry bag. The good news is that the boxes and gifts are not

coming back with me, so I will have a lot more space for whatever souvenirs I buy

and whatever gifts I may receive. I weighed this whole bag, by the way, and it was

around 35 pounds. Next, as my carry-on I am bringing my camera backpack. I love

this bag; it even has a slot for a laptop. I just take any lens hoods that I have

and flip them upside down, pack the lenses I think I'll need. For this trip, I

brought my standard kit lens, my Sigma art lens for portraits, my telephoto

lens, and my wide-angle lens. And when this vlog is over, I'll pack my vlogging

camera here as well. Don't forget to charge all your batteries and your

headphones. Lastly, this is my outfit to the airport. Thanks, guys!
