Great ideas! I have started carrying small bags for garbage (tissues, wrappers, Clorox wipes) in my cabin bag, especially for long flights. I use the goodie bag from the dentist or even doggie poo bags.
Thank you for the wonderful review! I wasn't sure what you meant at first by "bag with a big mouth" but after you demonstrated it, I fell in love! I usually take a backpack on planes with me and whenever I need something I have to dig and dig and take things out and it is just frustrating. This bag looks like it might be my dream bag for flights!
Rewatching this Jen, and can you make a note somewhere for your next Q&A: What was is like for your husband during 9-11 and what was it like for you as a pilot's spouse?
If my bag does not have a key strap I take a diaper pin (for cloth diapers) and pin my keys to the inside of my bag. The diaper pin is a bit bigger than a regular safety pin and kinda cute.
Thanks Jen! It is refreshing to see a non-sponsored review for Away. I have seen a zillion sponsored reviews on UA-cam. I do see the carryons quite a bit but haven’t pulled the trigger on it. This one looks nice. I have the Lo and Sons bag with the sleeve that doubles as a purse, this one looks bigger.
Yes that’s one of the reasons I wanted to do it!! I think it says a lot that with all the pieces I own this set is what goes with me on every trip now.
Good luggage and bags are expensive. My wife has spent a ridiculous amount on a number of Tumi pieces. However, good luggage and bags will usually last decades, so you may spend more upfront, but you are not replacing them every couple of years. You mentioned a carpet bag, my wife has a real carpet bag, (the bag is actually made of carpet) which she uses similar to the way you are using this one. Great review video! Have a great trip!
It IS a Mary Poppins bag! I was waiting for you to pull out a full-size coat rack and a spare beach chair! Lol!! Fantastic - thanks for the review. Now I "need" one - just don't tell my husband. [I"m a little bag-crazy - there are never enough bags in my life ;-) ] Have a fabulous trip! Looking forward to hearing all about it!
Love me a big mouth as well! 🤣🤣 i have a bag we call the Black Hole- things go in and they never come out or can be seen again. Thanks for the great review. Have fun in Cali!!
hi really liked you channel. your travel tips are great and many of which I have adapted for myself. I have a big set of over the ear headphones and always looking to condense. What is the name of your headphones you show off here? I love your planner. I live in mine.
I love this bag so much - I considered it for my upcoming trip, but opted for a backpack with the same over the telescope handle bar feature - its from Vera Bradley, I’m obsessed.
Nice review. Though, that bag might be too big for a personal item. Some airlines might not accept it as a personal item if you have a carry-on bag as well. So my tip would be to check what is allowed on the airlines you regularly fly before buying it =)
Young on the same way when I travel I have to travel with almost everything except the kitchen sink do you have to use packing cubes in there to when you travel I really really had to
Love your review of this bag as I have been toying with the idea of getting the Away bags after seeing you and BBB with them. Your organization is just like mine with all of the little pouches! And it warms my heart that you carry Clorox wipes for the plane LOL! So happy for your new channel, Jen. Can’t wait to follow along!
I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been super happy with the quality of their products. And as much as I travel I really feel like I’d know if they weren’t well made.😍😍😍
The Away travel marketing people owe you future sales will save my money 💰 I will buy this bag for myself and one for my traveling parents thanks to your amazing review... Thank you
Your review may have sold me. I’ve been between Calpak luka (which I fear might be too big for under the seat in some flights) and this one. I often shop on trips and was afraid this would be too small, but it looks like it holds more than my tumi voyager backpack
Do you still use the *compact noise cancelling headphones* in this video? If so, what brand are they please. I could not see a link above and your amazon link states its not valid. 😔 Thank you for your help because I am looking for a good compact pair as I will have very limited space for my long-haul trip, especially since my bag gets overrun by kid stuff. 🤪
Jen! I was just about to pull the trigger on a new luggage set, and I've had my eye on the Away brand for some time now (I know, I'm late to the party). lol. I also know this video is a few years old (missed a bunch of the linked goodies), and your storefront isn't active on Amazon any longer...BUT.... if you remember the names to some of your items, would you mind sharing so I can search? I'm in love with the clear Disney donut bag you use for makeup, as well as the ipad cover and a few other items! Thanks so much! :)
Hi Jen. Great video as always. I have spent lots of time and money looking for the right travel gear. Thanks for your honest and well demonstrated reviews. Do you carry an actual handbag/crossbody on the flights?
Great video, I'm waiting for the leather Everywhere Bag to come back to make a decision. Don't think that I'm on the fence anymore, so thanks for that. Question, where did you get the makeup bag with the sparkly Mickey donuts? Didn't see it in the show notes. Thanks
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge Found it, thank you so much. Mickey and Minnie Mouse Pouch Set www.shopdisney.com/mickey-and-minnie-mouse-pouch-set-1507909 Just in case someone else is looking.
Jen, these videos are getting expensive for me! (haha) I keep buying things from your amazon storefront... you have great, reasonable suggestions and awesome travel hacks!
Love this "Mary Poppins" big mouth bag! Also love all your other bags- especially the Cabin bag idea! ! Thanks for your great recommendations Jen! Wishing you an amazing time in California!
Now that you’ve used that bag for a trip, how well does it fit under the seat in front of you? I have an older Lands End “cabin” bag, and it’s just a smidge too tall, so I always have to smoosh it under the seat.
Hi, this might be a weird question, but do you think i could use this bag as an everyday bag? I am commuting and basically need to bring my whole life with me including a large water bottle and lunch, so i need a lot of space! Awesome and informative video!
I think I need this Mary Poppins bag in my life. You fit so much inside! On a completely different topic since you mentioned Goodr sunglasses - do they fit well under your running visor/hat? I have been on the hunt for a pair of running sunglasses that fit comfortably under my hat.
I use a small belt bag as my “cabin bag” and I ban hang it around the tray table and can fold it up and still access all my necessities. 😊

"Finding joy" ...... I love that. Another useful video presentation, thanks for sharing.
Rewatching this Jen, and can you make a note somewhere for your next Q&A: What was is like for your husband during 9-11 and what was it like for you as a pilot's spouse?
That’s a great question! 😍
After your review of the Away carry-on I got the carry-on roller AND this duffle personal bag:). I love them both... thank you!
Listen, us traveling mamas gotta take care of each other!😍
If my bag does not have a key strap I take a diaper pin (for cloth diapers) and pin my keys to the inside of my bag. The diaper pin is a bit bigger than a regular safety pin and kinda cute.
That’s such a great (and thrifty!) idea!

This looks like a beautiful, durable bag. I hate bags and suitcases that topple over. So frustrating! Nice review.
Me too!! Since I typically only do carry one they have to work harder than most🤣😍

Chris that sounds so cool!! And yes to spending money on quality that lasts.😍
Wow! Lots of stuff. Great bag. Safe flight!
Thank you! I’m here now and having a great time.
I’m so happy for you. Enjoy every moment. You deserve it for all your hard work. Enjoy your family. ❤️
Where did Uber your headphones?
This bag is super efficient...plus it looks like the sorting hat so of course it’s amazing!!! Travel safely!
Thank you! Wish you were here!

Thanks, Terri!! 😍😍😍
Great video!!! Thanks for the Away reviews!
My pleasure, Mandy! Thanks for watching!
Love the packing videos!
Gosh, do I love a bag with a lot of very useful, specific pockets. 😍
You and me both, Melissa!
Love this video! Love that bag too
It performed like a champ on this last trip! Thanks, Shelley!
Awesome bag! I love easy to organize and looks great.
Thanks, Cindy! It’s a total workhorse and I love it.
I like that bag and it is so roomy! Thanks for sharing!
I’m sitting at the airport right now and it really does function beautifully. Thanks, Margy!
Safe and fun travels!

Okay that's a nice bag.
I love this bag so much - I considered it for my upcoming trip, but opted for a backpack with the same over the telescope handle bar feature - its from Vera Bradley, I’m obsessed.
Give me a good over the telescoping handle feature and I am IN. Seriously.😍
Nice review. Though, that bag might be too big for a personal item. Some airlines might not accept it as a personal item if you have a carry-on bag as well. So my tip would be to check what is allowed on the airlines you regularly fly before buying it =)
Love the bag and all your little Disney cosmetic bags! Also, I really like the shades, very cool! 😎😍😁
Thanks, Nora!!
Young on the same way when I travel I have to travel with almost everything except the kitchen sink do you have to use packing cubes in there to when you travel I really really had to
In my cabin bag? No but I definitely use them in my other carry on.😍
No feel better when I go traveling a lot to having some words of comfort and everything we have everything to
Nice bag. Can’t believe how much it fits. Also, I love your iPad cover...
Thank you! Me too😍

Absolutely my pleasure!!
I freaking love a good bag! LOL. I am keeping this one in mind if I ever start to travel on longer flights.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
🙏 thanks. Will buy one. Question:The size of this bag: large? Can you fit the large size under the front seat space?
This is the small one and no the large does not fit under the seat from what I can tell. Great question!
Sorting Hat 😂😂😂 excellent review video and I liked the pic of it all laid out on the bed.
My first thought...I love a bag with a big mouth, and I cannot lie!! 🤣🤣🤦🏾♀️Great review!! I’m a bag girl all the way!!

Jen! Question. Now you have had the bag for a few years now, do you live it? How is the leather holding up? Is it holding its shape? Thank you
Oh absolutely. It’s been on many many trips and still looks brand new.
Doesn’t your lotion in your comfort bag count as a liquid?? And when leaving your seat to use the restroom, do you take your valuables?
Jen! I was just about to pull the trigger on a new luggage set, and I've had my eye on the Away brand for some time now (I know, I'm late to the party). lol.

What I need to do is go back in this video and list the links to the companies themselves. I will try to get to that this week!!
Hi Jen. Great video as always. I have spent lots of time and money looking for the right travel gear. Thanks for your honest and well demonstrated reviews. Do you carry an actual handbag/crossbody on the flights?
I do not. I typically pack away a small handbag to use on my trip. Great question, Denise!
Awesome bag....
I also Love bags with big mouth ❤❤
Great review...
Hey Jen! Where’d ya get those clear Disney bags???
Off Shop Disney! I think they still have them? I put the link on the other channel in my pre-CA shopping haul so should be easy to find
Got them! 🎉🙌🎊
Great video, I'm waiting for the leather Everywhere Bag to come back to make a decision. Don't think that I'm on the fence anymore, so thanks for that. Question, where did you get the makeup bag with the sparkly Mickey donuts? Didn't see it in the show notes. Thanks
It’s from Shop Disney! Just bought it a few months back so I think they still have it?

It slides under perfectly, Gretchen! I've taken it on 3 trips now and it's worked really well.

Ellie I absolutely think you could! My only hesitation would be how heavy it would get? But it’s absolutely word and commuting appropriate!

They do! At least I’ve never noticed that they don’t and I wear a hat on every run🤣😍
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge I will have to give them a try! I love my Raybans, but they push the brim up a little bit, and it drives me nuts.
Oh now i see what you mean!! Yes that drives me nuts too but the ones I have are flat across the top and don’t do that.
Water bottle?
❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
Bags with big mouths!!!😂😂
Good morning! First comment!!
Great job!🤣🤣😍😍😍
Are you just a Disney fan or do you work for Disney
Ok, you need a bag for your headphones 😬
They’re really Ok, Cyndi, I promise.🤣🤣😍😍😍
I just gave you an excuse to get another bag and you missed it 🤣🤣🤣
Shoot....
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge lol
I enjoy your videos but too many of your favorite travel items are way too expensive for the average income person.
