What do you put in a clear bag for TSA?

Ugh, that darn TSA bag, am I right? It’s like a weird game of Tetris trying to cram everything in. Tiny shampoo, travel-sized toothpaste (which, let’s be honest, lasts for like two brushes), my favorite moisturizer… it’s a whole thing. And don’t even get me started on the price of those mini toiletries! Highway robbery, I tell ya. It’s like they know we’re trapped.

One time, I totally forgot to put my contact solution in the bag and had to buy a teeny tiny bottle at one of those airport shops. It cost, like, five times what I normally pay! Lesson learned, though. Now I have a dedicated “travel toiletries” bag that I just refill and keep ready to go. So much easier.

You know what’s also a pain? Remembering the 3.4 ounce rule. Like, what even IS 3.4 ounces? I have this little kitchen scale I use sometimes just to be sure. It feels ridiculous, I know, but I’m terrified of having my favorite lotion confiscated! And then there’s the whole checked bag anxiety. What if it gets lost? All my carefully curated outfits gone! So, yeah, I try to cram as much as humanly possible into that little clear bag. Anyone else feel my pain?
