Umbrella Girl Items for traveling

I have had a lot of opportunities to travel in the last month and thought that I would share with you how I pack up to go!
My last trip took me on an airplane to Long Beach, CA to see my baby sister.  She's about to have her first little one and I went to help her get the nursery all set up and organized.  It was so much fun!
 I absolutely HATE when my dirty shoes are packed right next to my clean clothes!  Enter, the Large Wet Bag!  (for the record: I could have fit my two pairs of shoes in the medium bag as well, but I like things matchy-matchy, so I went with the large because it matches my other items)
Plenty of room for my shoes and I stuck in my little girl's shoes too!
There is nothing worse than arriving at your destination, unpacking and finding out that your lotion or shampoo opened up and spilled out all over your bag!  My Small Wet Bag turned out to be the perfect size for my shampoo, conditioner, body and face wash.
**Bit of a tip, I actually put my items in upside down (not as this pictures shows).  That way if they did spill, they wouldn't eek out by the zipper!  No problems on my flight though.  Nothing spilled!
I'm so glad that my customers come back and leave feedback.  You have such great ideas!  I've gotten lots of feedback that people are using their zippered pouches for make up, but wish that it could be wiped out and cleaned easier.  This is one of the first zippered pouches to get the PUL lining instead of the cotton.  I LOVE it!  More in the works!
Everything still fits great and I can now just wipe it out instead of having to throw it in the wash when it gets dirty.  Keep those great ideas coming.
In the summer, I use my Beach/Toiletry Bag for sunscreen, after sun lotion, bug spray and goggles, but for trips, I pack a lot of other stuff inside.
My zippered pouch with make up and all my other toiletries fit perfectly inside.
Everything matchy-matchy and perfectly organized for my trip WEST!

Are you going on a trip?  How do you pack?  Is there something you would love to help organize your travel?  I love suggestions!
