Sorry this is such a quickie, but I figured if I put it here it would reach the correct audience. In my blog it will scroll in time and be lost to all.
People always laugh at me cuz I keep small 'tester' plastic containers; you know -
the ones from cosmetics and various other bathroom products. My mother has wasted hours trying to get me to bin them, and occasionally I do go through my collection and bin a few. Tonight I find this is to my dismay. We are going away for a week and I am packing our toiletries. I dont need a full bottle of shower gel, so I decant some into my smaller bottle. Same with my lotions and various other shampoos etc that we are taking.
Because E and I use different products I really need to carry each our own if we are away for more than a weekend. So that is twice the bottles - eeeek! This halves or more the space taken up in our bag. In fact, I can fit the lot into our toiletry bag once they are all decanted. However, I shall have to go without conditioner this time around because I have actually thrown away a couple of my lil bottles and am now one short. Ah well, It is only for one week....
So when you are travelling regularly keep those little bottles - not the too small hotel ones, although they can be great for weekends away. But for a week or 10 days the slightly bigger ones are great! Of course, you know how much of a product you use and you may need to take the whole bottle even for a week, and some things like hair sprays cannot be decanted....lol....
I hope this helps some people with packing and saving space when travelling.
Peace
