Things to Leave at Home to Instantly Feel Like a Travel Pro

2. Full-Size Toiletries: Decant Like a Pro

Those bulky, full-size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion are efficiency killers and prime suspects for liquid limit violations. Instead of relying on generic hotel miniatures, invest in a set of reusable, TSA-approved travel containers (3.4 oz/100ml or less). Decant your preferred products into these, or purchase travel-sized versions of your favorites. This minimalist approach prevents messy spills, ensures compliance with airline liquid restrictions, and significantly reduces the weight and bulk of your toiletry bag, making security checks a breeze.
