i got this nifty quart-sized bag kit from meijer (best $10 i ever spent) that is tsa approved. i got sample packages of all face care products from smooch and took only enough lotion to get me to berlin. this helped make room for all the hair conditioner i need. (my hair is so thick it just eats up product.) i bought a few extra squeeze bottles for my conditioner.

i was kind of expecting airport security to comment on the wonder that is my quart-size bag. sadly, no. they did however ask me if i had a permit for the teddy bear strapped to the front of my luggage.
