Packing: TSA 3-1-1 Rule

As I mentioned in my previous post, for this trip to San Francisco, I'm not going to be checking any luggage. This means that all of my non-powder beauty products will have to fit into one small, plastic bag. I've never travelled without checking at least one piece of luggage before, so I had to research what exactly the rules are regarding liquids and carry-ons. Below is an explanation of how the rules work, but first, I've listed out all of the products that I'll be bringing along: 

What I'm Packing For San Francisco!

Woohoo! It's Spring Break...sort of? My university is having it's 'Reading Week' (read: Spring Break) wayyyyy early this year, which is not impressing many people on my campus. There's snow on the ground and the temperatures are still pretty low...I mean, I live in Canada, so what was I expecting, right? However, my friend Ricki and I have decided to make the most of the situation, and go to San Francisco for the week!

I've decided that for this trip I'm going to try and pack everything solely into my carry on suitcase...

...this because I seriously dislike checking my luggage. You run the risk of losing your belongings, having them arrive late, getting rifled through, or being broken in transit. Not to mention the endless wait at the luggage carousal! 

Carry-On Beauty Essentials

As much as I love beauty products, I am a huge supporter of going makeup-free on flights. The dry (and awful) air on planes can make your skin become irritated and flakey if you wear too much makeup...and you won't be able to save your skin and moisturize if you have a full face of makeup on! Below I've listed some of the products that I use to keep my skin hydrated, as well as some light makeup products that I use just before landing. This list is what I use on long-haul flights when I've checked my luggage, and don't need to worry about how many liquids I've brought in my carry on!
