00:00 I have riding gloves because I never know when I'm going to find a horse I might need to ride.

00:04 Oh hi everybody it's time for what's in my bag.

00:08 That was heavy. I just worked out y'all. When I travel, which I do all the time

00:14 because I am a travel lover, I keep everything in this carry-on bag that I can't live without.

00:20 And then clothing I put in a little roller bag. But I have my toiletry kit, toothbrush, toothpaste,

00:27 hair conditioner, special purple shampoo that keeps my blonde from being brassy. Make sure it's

00:34 all in those TSA approved size bottles. I always have a book. This one is by a friend of mine. It's

00:42 about a famous horse. If you like Seabiscuit, you're going to love Skywatch. I like actual

00:48 books that I can smell and touch and read. I'm not a fan of the electronic readers. I keep a

00:54 little bag with all of my accessories. So this is like you know just jewelry, treasure trove.

01:02 Sometimes when you have a big bag like this you need other bags to keep things corralled. Oh that

01:08 was my passport which I always keep handy right here in this little passport case with my initials

01:15 in case I forget who I am. Glasses and sunglasses very important. So that's in there. And then

01:24 oh I have a little bit of makeup if I do television. And then I have an old school

01:28 planner. I must write things down. And if you saw the Joan Rivers documentary, she loved to

01:36 have everything like catalogued and organized. And I'm the same way. I have to have a full calendar.

01:41 And if I have open days I get very anxious. I always have two baseball caps. I have a black one

01:48 and a white one. And I know they're going to go with everything. And then oh I have a facial mist

01:55 for on the plane. This is Mae Lindstrom Jasmine Garden Botanical Facial Mist. And it just even

02:03 if you have makeup on you can just. Oh it smells so good and it keeps you fresh on the plane. Like

02:10 if you've been flying all day and you spritz that on when you get to your destination you feel

02:14 normal again. Cashmere sweater. So cuddly. Works like a blanket. Works like a pillow. And then it's

02:21 also a piece that you can use while you're traveling as a layering piece. I keep my belts

02:27 in my absolute carry-on bag because belts are one of the more expensive things in your bag. So if

02:33 they lose your bag you probably won't get reimbursed for your nice belt or your nice accessories. So I

02:39 keep them with me at all times. You're right here with me. It's okay. Don't worry. Oh it just keeps

02:46 going on and on. Here's another book. Oh I have a speaker for when you're at the hotel. So you can

02:54 listen to your tunes. And oh when I have this immune booster. It's called Amra and it's really

03:03 good when you're traveling. You're getting run down. You feel like you're getting sick. You have

03:06 one or two of these and it usually makes you feel much better. I have a Clorox wipe because you never

03:14 know. Sometimes I even have like laundry detergent in my bag because if you need to wash something

03:21 last minute. I have some chewing gum. Some hand sanitizer. Another facial mist. Chargers of course.

03:31 There's that. And oh a sensible slipper because you might want to change your footwear.

03:37 Here's a really good tip. I like a candle but most hotels don't let you have a candle

03:48 because they don't want you burning the joint down. And I ordered these little battery operated

03:52 candles on that website where people get everything. Look at that instant ambiance.

03:59 And it's so safe. And you don't have to lug a candle around, which by the way TSA hates candles.

04:05 If you have a candle in your bag, you're getting stopped. If you have a battery operated tea light,

04:10 you're smooth sailing and you're welcome. Eye mask. Gotta have that. But when I still travel

04:19 with a mask, because of some people, if it's cold and flu season or if you've got a coffer next door,

04:26 I always hand them the mask and say put this on. No, I put the mask on myself. I have riding gloves

04:34 because I never know when I'm going to find a horse I might need to ride. And then designer

04:40 eyewear of course. And this might turn into a mini series. I hope you have time. Oh I bring my own tea.

04:48 Okay. Because tea that you get at hotels or airports is awful. So I bring my own good tea.

04:54 Okay. And then that's the tea on that. Oh I have this little tiny speaker. Look how cute that is.

05:01 And that's like a Bluetooth speaker. You can just put it by your bed in the hotel. If you're doing

05:07 any entertaining, you can make it romantical. That's where the battery operated candles come in.

05:14 Moist towelettes. I hate saying that but I always have them. Helps with stains. And a shoe mitt.

05:24 I steal those from the hotel. Headphones, very important. We're about halfway through you guys.

05:34 I think, oh and some chewing gum because like after the plane ride,

05:41 your mouth gets a little stale. So I like to have this one's perfect peppermint which

05:46 is also a great drag name. Oh I have stamps because you might send postcards and you never

05:54 have stamps handy. So I have that. I have, I've turned into my mom. I have an umbrella,

05:59 a small lightweight one. Note cards because you might stay at someone's house and you should send

06:05 them a thank you note. I leave it in the mailbox before I leave. And then the next morning like

06:10 how did it get here so quickly? Is anyone getting sleepy or hungry? I have some snacks. I have

06:17 pistachios in here. And where's that small bottle of wine? Anything else good in here we need to,

06:28 oh the sewing kit from the hotel. Very good if you lose a button. I have an Us Weekly in here.

06:36 Look at that. And oh I have some swim trunks because these can act as a workout short and

06:44 also as swimwear. And sometimes you get like delayed or something and you're at a hotel that

06:49 has a pool and you're like why don't I go swimming or get a tan. So I keep those in the bag. And

06:54 this is my spray on hair. I'm actually bald. So I keep that in here. Yeah oh and a cough drop

07:05 just in case. Does anybody need a cough drop? I'm my boogie.
