I had 24 hours until I left for LA (my forever home state), so this vlog is basically my real-time travel prep—haircut, packing, and all the little “don’t forget this” essentials I swear by. I’m a huge no-checked-bags person (even for international, honestly) because I have zero patience for baggage claim, so I packed everything into a personal item + carry-on using my tried-and-true packing cubes. I share what I’m bringing for a hot, sunny weekend with a hiking day (hello Joshua Tree), including my favorite comfy airport outfits—my UNIQLO AIRism pants and the built-in bra sleeveless tanks that have genuinely changed my life lately. Then we get hit with the most uninvited guest of the trip: airport drama. We got boarded off and ended up waiting around five extra hours, terminal-hopping, and basically surviving on airport food until we finally made it (like… nine hours later). I also show what I always keep in my personal item—my non-liquid perfume balm, konjac sponge, sun stick, pimple patches, and a few “just in case” items—plus the gadgets I bring when the trip is more nature than city. If you’re packing for California summer travel and want a realistic, comfy, skincare-first approach, this one’s for you.
