00:00What's up who what where it's Kelsey Ballerini and today I'm going to show you the chaos that is what
00:06is in my suitcase
00:15So for starters the bag itself
00:18I'm actually really not this bougie, but
00:22This is a sentimental bag because one of the first ever tours that I got to open for was Rascal
00:27flats in 2016
00:30Which is making me feel a little bit older right now, but that's okay
00:33Um, and for end of tour gifts, which is something that we do on tour and in country at least
00:40The the guys got me this beautiful set of luggage and I've used it ever since it's like my favorite
00:46travel bag
00:46And I also just feel real fancy when I have it. So
00:50This is our starting point. This is our palette. Here we go. Okay, item number one the most basic staple
00:57You need a good pair
01:00Of black
01:01Leggings they're good for travel. These are like my flight go-to
01:06Delta is sick of me and these let me tell you something
01:09But then also I can like get off the plane or the bus and go straight into soundcheck
01:13You can work out in them. You cannot work out in them, which is what I've been doing. I highly
01:18recommend that
01:21Item number two and this is low-key a shameless plug, but this is a t-shirt
01:28That happens to also be my merch and this is the first time that um, I have merch that's just
01:33not not my face on it
01:35So I wear it because it's cute. Look at the back
01:40It says i'm doing my best it has kind of like that vintage
01:43That vintage feel where it's really soft and kind of worn already
01:47Um, and I would wear this with the leggings as well. I'll wear this with a pair of like cut
01:52off jean shorts
01:53Item number three
01:56A good pair of jeans. Um, these are both and show off the jeans
02:04These are both a gold. Um, these are just like the normal high-waisted
02:08These have a really interesting detail
02:11On the waistband which I think is like the asymmetrical line is very nice
02:15Um, I love crop tops and also body suits and these both of these jeans go with
02:22Both
02:22So I just think like the more that you wear them the more that they form to your body
02:27And the more that they get like softer and worn in and it just becomes like it's like
02:31I don't know just it's like a comfort thing for me now
02:34Like my favorite jeans are like it's a comfort blanket
02:37Next is skincare just when i'm traveling a lot my skin gets really dehydrated and breaks out and all the
02:43things when i'm on stage
02:45I have on a lot of makeup a lot of glitter
02:46Um, and so just taking care of your skin is really important and so these are some of my favorite
02:52self-help self-care moments
02:55Specifically these these are eye patches and I put them on as i'm doing makeup for
02:59My shows because not only do they help de-puff but also my makeup artist kelsey denahan taught me that
03:05it's like a stencil
03:06For where your eyeshadow should go so I just put it there and then it's foolproof you can't you can't
03:12even mess it up
03:12It just tells you exactly where to go so they're called skin iceland they're very nice and they're cooling
03:18This has always been my go-to makeup item. I just think that
03:23Mascara it's like it's just like a cup of coffee for your face. It makes you look way more awake
03:28than you are
03:29Way more put together than I am and these are my two favorites
03:33I use exhibitionist when i'm doing shows or something more dramatic it's super buildable super big and then
03:39Just this is lash blast this is the og and
03:42It's just it's just the good stuff so if i'm traveling with any makeup it is mascara and it's one
03:47of these two the next item
03:50Is a purse it's chanel and she's cute. I really like having
03:56um like kind of a mix of really like beautiful like high-end pieces and also just like
04:03worn in comfy
04:06Stuff that you can go like to the mall and grab
04:08I just think it's like a statement piece and it's really beautiful and something that you can hold on to
04:12and pass down
04:12You know later in life
04:17I'd never leave the house without a good pair of cowgirl boots
04:20I am a country singer i'm from tennessee born and raised
04:24I live in nashville now and i just i think they go with everything and i'm sure people are like
04:29no they don't but they do to me
04:30And i buy a pair of shoes anytime there's like a mountaintop moment so
04:37These are relatively new i bought these when i kicked off my tour
04:42And put out my album so these are these are my subject to change
04:45Heart first tour cowgirl boots and they're brown suede and they're yummy and i love them and i never leave
04:52the house without a pair of these
04:54Another must-have
04:57Is a hair mask
04:59This is igk i love this one there's several that i use i am really hard on my hair i'm
05:04not a natural blonde
05:06um hard to believe i know
05:09um
05:09but i just have a lot of breakage and damage and just constantly using heat on my hair for shows
05:14and everything
05:15i need to
05:16Protect it when i can so this is something that i do once a week in the shower three minutes
05:22rinse it out and
05:23I'd like to think it helps me out i've got a weird one for you
05:27What is this you ask let me tell you it is um it's it's a facelifter it's what's it called
05:33actually the pure lift
05:35and um when you like i like i said i travel a whole lot and
05:39um when i'm on planes and stuff you get really puffy
05:42and so you just turn it on i'm not going to do it right now but
05:46it sends like electric currents through your face
05:50and you just go like this and like this and um it just kind of feels like a tingle but
05:55it helps just
05:55de-puff any water retention or whatever in your face so if i hop off a plane and go right
06:01into an
06:01interview like i truly just did
06:03this helps another odd one is my
06:08headphones these are actually my my in-ear monitors that i've retired these from my actual show
06:14because your ears actually change as you get older so these no longer have the snuggest fit
06:21but um on planes and stuff i still use these and as you can see they literally are shaped to
06:27my ear
06:28so you put them in and you you can't hear anything else and that's how i prefer it
06:36i think that you can dress up anything with just some gold jewelry i love ear cuffs i love fun
06:46rings
06:46for stage and real life to be honest i love a good pair of gold hoops you can probably tell
06:52i think they just dress up any outfit um yeah i think like layerable pieces are really nice
07:00so if you're going for more minimal you keep one on or if you want to like glam up just
07:05add it all
07:07okay so i don't know where i got these but that's kind of the point because i feel like i
07:13have just
07:14unintentionally become a sunglass hoarder um and that's because i somehow lose them
07:20buy a new pair and then find them and then the pattern continues so i just i feel like i
07:26accidentally
07:26have a pair from like every city i've been in and it is a travel staple i am a like
07:34perfume girl i just
07:37have so many different scents for different moods and different like just vibes um this is the one that
07:45keep with me in my bag all the time so it's my consistent i love lilabo um this is the
07:52noir i also
07:53love rose and i also love sentile 33 um but i'm just i'm i'm a perfume girl so this is
08:00this is this
08:01is subject to change but this just happens to be what i have in my bag right now all right
08:06y'all that
08:06was packed with who what where and thank you for hanging out with me and seeing what's in my bag
