1
Are you a type B girly?
2
Because I am.
3
So currently it's 7 p.m at night and I have a flight tomorrow evening and I have not packed.
4
I know guys I'm scared for myself.
5
Luckily I think at this point I'm a pro at last minute packing and vacation prep.
6
So if you're ever in the same situation
7
that I am don't worry I'm going to show you guys how to lock in
8
so that we can have an overnight glow up, feel and look the best, and pack fast and efficiently so that you can enjoy yourself and have the best vacation possible.
9
We can do this you guys.
10
Time is ticking as I speak so I'm going to stop talking
11
and let's get to work so we can be vacation ready.
12
Okay, we're gonna start by planning and packing our clothes.
13
In my opinion, this can really be the most tedious process, but I have found that this is the most efficient way where I plan all of my outfits.
14
I'm actually editing this after my trip, and as you can see, I literally wore all the clothes that I brought, and that's because I pre-planned everything.
15
If you have time, I highly recommend you to do this.
16
This will genuinely save so much space in your suitcase
17
because you're not gonna bring a bunch of outfits that you're just not gonna wear.
18
I was gonna go to New York during fashion week, so I wanted my outfits to be t.
19
And to kind of save space in my suitcase, I like to pick clothes and accessories where I really feel like I could kind of mix and match with each other.
20
I literally, I think, only use like two bags and then I switch between the heels. And something
21
that I also really like to do is I like to
22
lay my outfit out on the ground with the shoes
23
and accessories so it makes it super easy when I'm changing and I'm just like, let me look at my little photo album and see what outfits I brought.
24
And I kid you not, this will literally save you 50% of space in your suitcase.
25
I used to just kind of throw things in and then I wouldn't even wear like half the outfit.
26
I also always make sure to bring one set of workout clothes
27
and then also just some basics because You never know when you might need them.
28
And they're honestly just good to have on hand.
29
Now that we kind of have everything laid out, get yourself some packing cubes.
30
And not just the regular packing cubes, but the compression ones.
31
You're gonna see how much stuff I can fit in these cubes.
32
So you can either organize it by tops, bottoms, dresses, or you could do it maybe by outfits.
33
Since I kind of already take photos of my outfits, I already know what goes with what.
34
So I kind of just organize it by category.
35
Guys, all of my clothes fit in four of those cubes.
36
It's so crazy.
37
And then for shoes, I have these little plastic shoe bags from Amazon.
38
Shoes are honestly so dirty.
39
And it's just like, I can't just throw them in with my clothes but I love these.
40
All right, guys, let's do some self-care before bed because we deserve it.
41
Also, we have such a long day ahead of us, so there's nothing like doing a little pampering for yourself before bed.
42
Like any good self-care routine goes, obviously, we have to start by taking off our makeup.
43
I mean, you guys know me.
44
The only way that I take off my makeup is with double cleansing.
45
So I'm starting with my favorite double cleanser.
46
The current one I'm using right now is BioDance, and then I'm going in with the Face Shop cleanser.
47
This is gonna get your pores squeaky clean.
48
Like, I swear your face is gonna feel so soft and clean after.
49
And after a long day of wearing makeup, it just feels so good.
50
I'm gonna go in with a little bit of teeth whitening strips.
51
So I'm gonna brush my teeth first.
52
And then I'm gonna put on a face mask.
53
Although I probably should have done this after I showered, I feel like my skin was kind of freaking out.
54
And I was like, I just need to give myself a little TLC.
55
After about 20 minutes and I took the mask off, I then took my hair out.
56
Oh my gosh, this feels so good.
57
Did a quick little everything shower.
58
And then I just went in with my regular nighttime skincare routine.
59
At this point, I could not wait to get in bed, you guys.
60
Like, we have a long day ahead of us.
61
We have so much packing still to do.
62
So good night, ladies, and I'll see you tomorrow.
63
Good morning, guys.
64
That was a quick little eight hours of sleep.
65
I'm up, I'm energized.
66
I checked into my flight.
67
That's important.
68
We gotta get good seats.
69
There's no time for rest, okay?
70
We've gotta get to work.
71
I'm just putting in some hair oil on my hair.
72
I feel like my hair's been feeling a little dry recently, and everything's just a little bit drier on the plane.
73
I'm gonna tie my hair back just because I have a lot to do today and honestly, hair being in my face is so over-simulating for me.
74
I'm gonna go in with the same foam cleanser that I used last night.
75
Oh my god, it's just so good.
76
And then after, I'm gonna jump into my regular skincare routine
77
and just kind of go through my whole process when it comes to packing skincare and beauty products.
78
Okay guys, let's do some skincare.
79
I'm just gonna do my regular skincare routine.
80
Nothing too crazy, but we do want to be really moisturized because flights are dry and I don't like dry skin.
81
Starting off with some lip balm.
82
This is how I make sure I don't forget anything.
83
I'm gonna put everything that I use on the side.
84
So then when I go and pack it, I'm like, it's all right there.
85
Like I use everything.
86
So I'm not gonna accidentally forget stuff.
87
I just started with the Bioma Milky Toner.
88
Love this toner down.
89
If you want hydrating toners, go for Milky Toners.
90
I would also keep in mind what size, like fluid ounces your products are.
91
I already know I'm not gonna have space in my carry-on bag.
92
So I'm checking all of my skincare.
93
But if you are carrying on your skincare or honestly just any products, make sure that it's under the amount of fluid ounces that you can bring.
94
My skin has low-key been freaking out recently.
95
This is my best friend.
96
This is the Anua Rice 7 Plus Ceramide Barrier Serum.
97
This always saves my skin barrier.
98
Another Bioma product, this is the Phyto Amucin Glow Serum.
99
But this same theory that I use to pack my skincare, I also do with makeup.
100
Because every time I'm rushing out of the house, if I'm just randomly grabbing products being like, oh, I need that, I need that, I will always forget something.
101
It's either sunscreen or moisturizer or face washing, you know, and that's so annoying.
102
But I promise this hack is gonna save your life.
103
You see the glow that's coming back into my face?
104
Like, we want to be as hydrated as possible for our flight.
105
The moisturizer I used is the Torridan Soothing Cream.
106
Also, can't forget about sunscreen.
107
Using the Naked Sundaes Cabana Clear.
108
Because you're closer to the sun, especially if you have a window seat and you like to keep your window open, I would highly recommend apply sunscreen.
109
Okay, that hydration, that glow.
110
Guys, we still have to actually, like, pack all of our stuff and put it into the suitcase.
111
I don't know about you, but I'm kind of hungry.
112
So let's go eat some food first.
113
On days like this, where I literally only have 24 hours to get ready for a trip, I don't know about you, but I'm too lazy to cook.
114
I'm gonna put you guys on, okay?
115
I literally love Factors so much.
116
Like, I've ordered from them multiple times.
117
So Factors is a meal delivery subscription service.
118
Right now I'm having one of their breakfast meals, and I also got a bunch of juices from them.
119
But their meals are always fresh, never frozen, and it's so easy.
120
They're literally ready in two minutes in the microwave.
121
It's so perfect when you're a person that's always on the go.
122
If you're in school, you don't have time before class, or if you get back home from work and you're too tired to cook.
123
This was me eating it last night.
124
Because after all that packing, I was like, please spare me, like I don't want to cook a meal.
125
I think the best part about Factor is definitely the variety.
126
They just recently doubled their menu to over 80 rotating weekly meals.
127
Like there's literally everything that you can think of.
128
Seafood, protein, shrimp, salmon, beef fillets, like literally everything.
129
They also have a ton of different cuisines.
130
And as someone who tries to be healthy, I love how their meals are made with real balanced ingredients.
131
Like they don't have any refined seed oils, no refined sugars.
132
So I feel energized and also amazing after I eat them.
133
If you want clean, easy, and convenient meals, definitely head to factor75.com.
134
Or you can click the link below and use my code.
135
It's baby Kels FB 50, 50% off, and you get free breakfast for a year.
136
Okay, I love you guys.
137
Now let's get back to packing.
138
Similar to how I pack my skincare is the same way that I kind of pack my makeup.
139
Luckily, I kind of had to put on makeup anyways
140
because I had some other filming I had to do and I had to run some errands.
141
But if you have time, I really recommend for you to just do your makeup step by step
142
and just either put it off on the side or just pack it into your vanity or makeup bag as you go.
143
This way, you will not forget a single thing.
144
I can't even count the amount of times before I started doing this Where I was like, oh my god, yes, I have everything.
145
And then I go and do my makeup and I'm like, oh, okay, so I have foundation, I have concealer, I have cream bronzer, da-da-da-da-da.
146
But I have no sponge, no foundation brush.
147
And then I'm like, oh, so with my fingers, I guess?
148
But it happens more frequently than you think.
149
You might think you have everything, but I truly find that this is the only way where I will actually remember to bring everything that I have.
150
By the way, I also link everything that I use, so you can also follow that list kind of in the description.
151
And kind of tick it off one by one as you pack if you don't have time to kind of just, like, do your makeup.
152
Which I totally understand.
153
It's such an extra step, but I fear I love it and I fear it works.
154
I feel like the art of perfecting a great carry-on bag is not talked about enough.
155
This is literally everything that you need.
156
Some melatonin gummies, especially if you have a long flight.
157
Some gum.
158
And then for skincare, I like to bring sunscreen.
159
I also love the serum mist so I don't have to touch my face.
160
Skin also gets pretty dry, so I love the MediQ mask.
161
A hypochlorous acid spray helps kill off any bacteria.
162
Some moisturizer and then also face wash in case you want to wash your face when you're on the flight.
163
Obviously a lip balm.
164
Skin gets dry everywhere on the plane, so some lotion and then rollerball perfume.
165
And then hand sanitizer is a must.
166
Non-negotiable, okay?
167
Because traveling is nasty.
168
Like, I do not want to get sick.
169
Love to also bring makeup wipes just in case.
170
Say you wore makeup on the flight.
171
Take off your makeup when you're on the flight without having to wash your whole face.
172
Organize all of your cores by putting them into a little pouch.
173
And please get a portable charger if you don't have one.
174
I bring my little wired headphones, an extra pair of socks, and then any type of medication that you might need.
175
I love to bring my iPad instead of my laptop.
176
You gotta download those movies, girl.
177
Two things a girl always needs, a tampon and a hair tie.
178
And that's everything that I like to keep in my carry-on.
179
Don't mind the outfit change, I had to run a few errands, and I filmed some makeup videos.
180
But we're back to packing.
181
At this point, my flight was in about, I want to say, five hours, so time is a little bit tight.
182
I'm packing all of my toiletries and essentials that I need to shower and just kind of unwind.
183
Something that I really like to do is calling the hotel beforehand, just to see what they have so that I don't bring extra.
184
Like, if they already have toothbrushes and toothpaste and, like, shampoo and conditioner, then I'm just not gonna bring in.
185
I always bring like 7,000 pads and tampons because I do not want to be caught in a situation where I'm like, oh, I need it.
186
And I just didn't bring any.
187
I like to bring all my hair tools and just like stuff to do my slick bags.
188
Once again, I'll have all the products linked below so you can kind of use that as a list.
189
And then when it comes to packing my actual suitcases, it's kind of like filling in a puzzle.
190
So what I like to do is everything that I cannot afford to lose, I will put on my carry-on.
191
Thankfully, have never lost luggage before, but I'm so scared that I will.
192
And then I'll just have no outfits because everything's in my check-in bag.
193
So I'll just kind of like shuffle things around, really think about what do I really, really need and what I might not need as much just in case my luggage gets stuck.
194
Obviously also make sure that liquid that are over 3.4 ounces go in your check-in bag.
195
I also got two air tacks and I keep one in my carry-on and then one in my check-in.
196
It's just super helpful to see where my bag is.
197
And now my two bags are packed and now we can get to the airport girl.
198
I know I said we have to rush to go to the airport, but guys, look at those nails.
199
I kind of busted them up while I was packing.
200
Thankfully earlier, I picked up another one of these sets at Ulta.
201
These are my favorite press-ons ever.
202
It's from Glamnetic, and these are honestly like the most natural looking press-ons.
203
Like nail artists will come up to me and be like, where'd you get your nails done?
204
I'll snip off all the press-ons first, and then I'll go in and kind of just file my nails down.
205
This will just kind of create a really good base with glue to adhere to.
206
It comes with a little alcohol pad, and then just like wipe all of your fingers with it to remove the oils.
207
This is probably the most important part, but it's really tedious.
208
This is sizing your fingernails.
209
So you want to make sure that the press-on nail
210
that you pick goes sidewall to sidewall so that there's not any spacing.
211
Because if there's spacing, then water and moisture is going to get in
212
and then your nail is just not going to last as long as it should.
213
When it comes to the glue, I like putting a little bit on my actual nail and then also a little bit in the press-on.
214
And then I just hold the press-on nail on my finger for a little bit.
215
You can just repeat that step for your whole hand.
216
It just looks so good.
217
And then I will also take the whole pack with me just in case I need to reapply any of the nails.
218
Okay, so one of my errands earlier was actually getting my toes done.
219
I had to do it, okay?
220
I had to do it.
221
I did a little, like, Frenchie.
222
Obviously, I used OPI bubble bath.
223
I know you're thinking, how do you even have the time for this?
224
You know, sorry, a girl needs to feel cute, and my toes were looking real crusty, but look at how cute they are now.
225
10 out of 10.
226
Do not regret this at all.
227
I was in such a rush, I didn't even have time to do an outro.
228
But you guys, New York was a blast.
229
Honestly, my packing tips helped so much.
230
Like, I'm so obsessed with all of my outfits, and this was my first time in New York, so I kind to play tourists and explored all of Manhattan.
231
Thank you guys so much for packing with me, and I really hope that some of these tips are going to help you out
232
when you go on your hot girl vacay.
233
Let me know what other videos you want to see, and I love you guys so, so, so much, and I'll see you next week.
234
Bye!
235
Bye.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
