What to Bring: Toiletries

I hope you read this list as not so much a “why to bring” but a “what to bring”.

Ew.

Toothbrush

Toothpaste

Dental Floss

Deodorant / Antiperspirant

Shampoo & Conditioner

Soap / Bodywash:

Moisturizing Lotion

Shaving Gear:

Tampons:

Hairbrush or Comb

Hair Elastics & Bobby Pins

Hair Products

Some Make-Up

Toilet Paper:

See “Travel Tip #2”.

Q-Tips

Nail Clippers

Face Cloth:

Yeah, sure – you can bring one of these. I bet it works well with face wash.
