YOUR HOME AWAY 
Forgetting something from your travel checklist is THE WORST. Luckily, a lot of hotels will provide some toiletries if you accidentally left them at home.
While it is important that your hotel caters to the traveler, there are some things you should make sure to remember. A hotel can’t replace all of your personal items, so there are certain things you’ll want to make sure you pack.
Read on for our complete travel checklist.
When you’re staying at a hotel for an extended period of time there are some amenities you can’t go without. Long-term hotel guests tend to pack more than short-term, but they also pack smarter.
Here is our travel toiletries checklist:
Thing’s you definitely don’t want to forget. Some of these might be provided in the hotel’s toiletries, just to be safe – pack them.
Chances are your hotel has these three very important items. But in an extended stay situation, you might want your favorites.
Especially if you’re going to work, you don’t want to adjust your hair to a new shampoo and try to be presentable. Unless you are a man, and then, well, I am jealous that you don’t need to worry about such things.
Everyone’s skin is different, and if you’re staying for a while you don’t want to have an acne break out or extremely dry skin.
Luckily, facewash usually comes in a compact container of some sort, so it will fit in your bag nicely.
Not always needed, but annoying if you don’t have it! Make sure you’re moisturized and avoid scaly skin.
I would think that this is a no-brainer, but if you’re thinking you won’t forget it – that’s when you will forget it
None of us floss regularly at home anyways, but for the sake of your gums, don’t forget it.
And in case you have forgotten, here are some good reasons why you should floss more.
This is one of the worst things you could forget. Imagine you’re meeting a new client or going to an important consultation and you forgot your deodorant! No, thank you!
Forgetting your favorite comb is dreadful. Especially if you’re the type of person that has a different comb for wet hair and a brush for dry hair!
Just trust me on these ones…
Something you don’t always think about, but completely cannot go without are nail clippers or a nail file. No matter who you are, you have nails, and you might break them.
You never know when you’re going to have a stray hair or a splinter! Maybe you don’t have time to go get your eyebrows waxed. No matter the reason, tweezers are always extremely handy to have on hand.
Almost any person with medium to long length hair will not ever be caught without a hair tie on their wrist, it’s basically fashion now. It’s always a good idea to have a few extra in your bag just in case.
When staying long-term at a hotel you may need to back shaving essentials. Even if the hotel may provide them, they probably won’t be the quality you’re used to.
Many experts remain against the use of Q-tips… but I won’t tell anyone if you don’t.
These days hand sanitizer is everywhere. It’s always safe to keep some in your pocket, vehicle, or purse. Germs are everywhere, especially when you’re traveling.
Something that you don’t ever need, until you REALLY need it, and then you have to go out of your way to find one. Sticking a few of these in the bag you pack won’t take up any room and will come in handy.
You have your car chapstick, your bathroom chapstick, your coat pocket chapstick, your junk drawer chapstick… might as well have a travel toiletry bag chapstick.
Unless you’re going to stay inside during your entire stay, you might need to pack sunscreen or a bug screen. Experts say that you should wear sunscreen every day whether you’re going to be outside or not!
Headaches are the worst! And if you don’t have anything to lessen the pain it can be excruciating.
When traveling you’re most likely eating at restaurants a lot. If you’re trying new foods or eating any type of fast food, be sure you have some Pepto on hand!
Heartburn is the absolute worst and if it comes in the middle of the night there is not going to be anywhere to go to get relief. Put some in your bag just to be safe.
Sleeping somewhere you’ve never been before is difficult sometimes. Make sure you have something to help you sleep that won’t make you groggy in the morning.
Something you don’t necessarily think about adding to your list, but you should, are your glasses. Especially if you wear contacts.
When wearing glasses a lot, sometimes you can forget that contacts are even an option. And then when you go to put them in and you realize they’re at home on your counter it can be a real bummer. Even if you don’t think you’re going to use them, it’s a good thing to bring along.
If you wear makeup on a daily basis, this is probably on your list. But if you only use makeup sometimes, you might want to pack the basics in case you need any concealer or feel like having a night on the town!
If you haven’t tried dry shampoo yet, go get yourself some. It is a lifesaver. You can use it if you don’t wash your hair in the morning, or if you just need a little volume boost.
Hotels usually have blow dryers, but you might want your curling wand, hair straightener, or hair styling product of your choice. It’s probably the last thing you use before you leave your house, and often something people forget.
Even if you’re not traveling around that time of the month, it’s safe to always have some packed. But you probably knew that already.
Do not forget your prescriptions! This is something that is detrimental if you forget, and cannot be replaced!
