Mission STUFF

So, I have not officially started "packing" yet, but I have been collecting clothes, make-up, shoes, you name it- since before my call came. I went through a little shop-a-holic phase during my time in the winter semester at BYU, and while it has died down a little, it still hasn't gone away completely. At school, I could go to 5 stores in a day and not really wear out at any of them. Now, I still enjoy shopping just as much, but I can only do a store or two per day.

Here are some of the cool things I have accumulated for staying organized, sane, and happy during my mission!

This is a suitcase weight scale. It's super small which makes it portable and it will be perfect for weighing my stuff before I embark on my plane ride to Raleigh. 

This is my auh-mazing suitcase! I have two of these exact suitcases and I love them. It is a pretty purple color, and it weighs just over four pounds, which is really light for a suitcase! The brand is "IT Luggage- World's Lightest" and I got them online. 

So I kept playing in my mind how I would manage carrying all my suitcases not only into the MTC my first day, but also to the airport, and every time I transfer. This image did not go over very smoothly. I was not sure how I would carry three rolling suitcases. I considered taking a duffel bag as my carry on but that would really weigh me down and hurt my shoulders... SO... My mom found this amazing little contraption. She ordered it Amazon (you can find it here) and it is so great.

 I love my pink little carry on! I'm really learning to love pink! 

 I got this at Steinmart last summer for my Fiji trip and it is so convenient. I can put so many of my bathroom supplies in it and zip it up! No spillage! (Hopefully!)

This is my handy-dandy jewelry holder. The thing that makes this one unique is that it has zippers! Which is sooooo nice. I have seen so many of these at Target, TJMaxx, and other places, but WITHOUT zippers. I just don't get it. This one is perfect though for what I need. I don't remember where I found this one but once you see one with zippers... SNATCH IT!

This my "Little Book of Earrings." It is so nice to have all my earrings in one place I would highly suggest it! My mommy gave it to me for my 19th birthday! :) You can find it here.
