Creator's Key Takeaways

I am going on a cruise in just a couple of weeks and because I am flying there I'm really trying to be much more intentional about what I'm packing

I was actually able to get seven days yes seven days worth of cruise clothing all into this carry-on

The level 8 luggage that is definitely the most beautiful luggage that I've ever owned but more importantly is the fact that it is so functional

Don't bring any just in case outfits I have done this before this is just always a bad idea
