I travel enough to have made some mistakes and forgotten some items so that now I am getting to be a pro at packing. I usually never check a bag, even when we go on vacay for a few days I fit everything into my carry-on bag and purse. I err on the side of less rather than more items so sometimes I forget to toss something in. I can not tell  you ow many times I have forgotten a razor! I don’t know why it is always a razor but thank goodness that I have always been able to find some at a nearby drugstore! Once I did forget my toothbrush but that it such a silly, rookie mistake that I try not to bring it up. I have put together a list of my necessities for Everything you need to pack for your trip (besides clothes). I put it on a quick printable as well if you want to cross each item off like I like to do for a visual reminder. (Or just take a shot of the screen with your phone). I hope this helps you remember what you need and not get stuck without a critical item while traveling.

HINT: Once I forgot to bring a small clutch and ended up carrying my giant bag everywhere. Make sure to pack a small handbag or clutch.
