What to Place in Your Ziploc!

The famous Ziploc bag... You know, the one you expose to the entire world while traveling through security. I notice people in line who glance over as much to approve or disapprove of what or the amount that I bring. I get lots of free samples at stores or online and those come in handy -- especially for short trips. Things like face cream, eye cream, body lotion etc. comes in those foil packages and I toss them out when it's used up. The samples may not be the same product I normally use at home, but for a short trip I don't really care or notice any difference. Below is a list of items I travel with in my zip lock. Add your ideas below.

Travel Items Include:
* Hand sanitizer
* Suntan lotion
* Hotel-size bottle of shampoo and conditioner
* Hotel-size bottle of body lotion
* Hair products
* Facewash
* Face lotion
* Spray cleanser for glasses or Saline solution and contact lens holder-
* Mosquito repellent in individual sealed packs
* Stain removal stick (Tide to go)
* Sample viles of perfumes/after-shaves
* Ricola cough drops
* Neosporin in small individual sized travel packets,
* Toothbrush and toothpaste










It's all in travel size. If I run out, I can get more.
I downsize liquids into only 1-oz. each sized plastic bottles: shampoo, conditioner,

In the "dry" category, separate bag:
* Travel kleenex pack
* Tiny baby powder
* Stick deodorant
* Hair brush
* Toothbrush
* Small sewing kit
* Floss
* Razor
* Q-tips
* Tiny flashlight
* Bandaids
* Foil sealed Advil & Immodium floss
* Tweezers
* Nail file
* Hairbrush
* Lip balm
* Extra earplugs
* Safety pins
* Benadryl (works for allergies, motion sickness, sleep aid)
* Antihistamine tablets

Make-up Bag
* Make-up essentials (find out in an upcoming blog)

(I pack Hotel size products only if I know I won't acquire some along the way.)

Lastly, for longer trips or when I travel to a foreign country I bring a small ziploc bag as a "first aid" bag, containing a few over the counter meds. It seems easier to have them, then to try to explain to someone in another language I'm barely familiar with that I'm not feeling well.

2 days of blister-packed Tylenol Cold & Flu
cough drops
Half a dozen blister-packed Immodium
ibuprofen

tea bags in fun flavors, sweetener packs, in baggie

So now it's your turn to add to my lists and tell me what's in your carry-on bag....
