Hi Quadena!! Thanks so very much girl!!
Your voice over comments at the very beginning were spot on for we plus size gals!!! Thank you for that! I like being cute and fashionably age-appropriate, too.
Hey there Cheryl...Awww, thank you so much girl...As always I don't pull any punches, I am who I am and I've got to love myself...NOT that I love being overweight, that's not what I mean, what I mean is that I embrace whatever size it am and do the best that I can. :) Thank you so much for your sweet words!!

Great packing job Arlynn,you are so organized!! I could see Chris packing his just like you.I don’t think my husband Bill knows how to pack (LOL).I won’t say have a great trip because I already know you did an I am so happy you did!! Love ya Barb
Hey Barb!!! LOL, I know it right? I am ridiculously organized, I drive myself crazy sometime. LOL And yep, Christin bought both of us a set us cubes and each a garment folder, so Chris takes care of his own packing...he always has. :) I would do it for him, but, I'm okay that he does it himself...haha. :) Love you too sweet lady!!
Your outfits are all just darling! I have to say that you look stunning in the red print top! Looks like you all had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Arlynn! Those packing cubes are pretty nifty! Thank you for showing your wardrobe. You look fabulous in all your outfits but I particularly liked one of the red tops you we wearing. It looks really good on you. Loved the picture of you and your hubby at the end. 😊
Hi Jeanie, aww, thank you so very much on all fronts girl!!!
That was awesome..looks like you had a great time
Hey Sandra...I think I saw another comment from you asking where I got my capris and my cold shoulder tops? I'm not seeing it here currently, but, I'll answer here. :) Unfortunately, I do not see my capris at Avenue this season which is where I purchased them last year...keep an eye out on their site though as they are adding things daily. Here is a link to Dressbarn to one of my cold shoulder tops. :)
Thank you for doing a packing video for we plus size girls it was definitely needed all your clothes are very beautiful and you look marvelous I am a new subscriber to your channel so I'm going to go and binge watch your videos thanks a bunch

Beautiful picture of you and your husband. Those packing cubes are wonderful to use , they keep everything so well organized. I bought mine from Samantha Brown but they are about the same as yours. Beautiful outfits. Hope you're feeling better and have a good day.

Great packing tips & tricks! TFS
Hi'ya Diane!! Thanks a bunch girl!!
I enjoyed that have never taken a cruise so your video was very interesting.
Hi Mona, thank you so, so much girl!!
great video thanks for sharing great way to pack
Morning Arlynn! Great packing tips I like how your so organized that would make a lot easier! You have a very nice wardrobe and yes I did regonize most of your tops all very pretty! Have a nice day!
Hi'ya Carrie!! Thanks so much gf!! I am a anally organized person huh? lol But, in this way, it really does make it easier, and yep, I figured you girls would definitely recognize most of those cold shoulder tops. ;) I hope you have a great day too sweet lady!
Hi Arlynn!!! This was a great video you did a fantastic job. It's amazing how you packed all those cubes. I'm exhausted just watching you pack. Do you ever wear the same outfit more than once. I thought I packed a lot but you have me beat. LOL!!I love your tops they are so pretty and colorful and look so comfortable. Arlynn, thank you for answering my question the other day, I watched your live chat until the end, I'm working on finding out how to join in. I'm looking forward to your next video. Have a blessed remainder of the day.
Hey there Addie...OHHHHH whew, I'm so glad that you saw that I answered your questions...it has been a long weekend over here...I've really been fighting a sinus infection...blah. ANYway, there are times that I wear the same outfit twice...I tend to do that more in Alaska than for something like that Caribbean though because I can make the same outfit look a little different by wearing a different scarf. :) NOT that anyone is ever going to see me again...I do it for myself. :) Thank you so much for watching!!
Arlynn, I'm so sorry your sick, I've had sinus infections and they are no fun in fact they make me miserable. I do like to mix and match outfits and here's a cute story. We went on spring break one year and the pool was so full of kids there wasn't room for my big toe so I just sat on the edge and left my cover up on and my daughter said, mother take that cover up off and jump in you will never see these kids again. LOL! So now I don't care what people think. Just had to share. All sizes are beautiful. 👙😀
Hey there Addie...Such a great story and a lesson to all of us girl who worry so much!!! Awesome!!! Thank you so much for your sweet words!!
" Hi Arlynn thank you for all the tips for packing I think those packing cubes will be helpful. I purchase some the other day. I was trying to pack both my husband and myself in the 29" suitcase but that is not going to work for 12 days so glad to see that you both (husband and yourself) have a bag and a carry on. That's what I was planning on Scotland and Ireland are not that warm this time of year and we need layers. Thanks and take care :)
Hey there Paula...Awww, you are so very welcome girl...and no, Chris and I could not do it with only one 29" spinner. I fully admit that I am not minimalists...well he is more than I am...hahaha. ;) I hear you about needing layers gf...and that sounds like a lovely trip that you have coming up next year. :) Thanks for watching!!
You, my dear friend, are an expert packer! I am stealing your ideas. You have cloned a mini Arlynn...not in the creepy way..in a good way. Your organization skills are amazing. And...listen...you looked great in every single outfit! Even with green springy things coming out of your head, you looked put together and lovely. You and Chris make a really handsome couple! Sometimes I wish I had a couple inches on this 5’ 1 1/2” body of mine....I can’t wear long dresses and struggle with patterned tops...capris are ankle pants and ankle pants are regular pants. Lol. Guess I can’t help genes, now can I? Thanks for another great video.
Awww, thank you so very much Cindi!!! You are so very sweet lady friend! I wish you and I could meet in the middle with our heights girl...I'd like to be a little shorter than I am...hahaha. ;) Thank you so much for your lovely words about us as a couple. :) Love ya lady!!
Thanks Arlynn for sharing your packing tips. Take care of yourself and get well dear gf. Hugs
Hi Gwen, awww, you are so very welcome, and thank you so much for your well-wishes!!
Great video!
Thanks so much D Shirvani!!
You looked gorgeous as usual!! I would love to hear where you got some of your beautiful tops. I am also a typical 2x.
You are the master packer.
I adore your Vera Bradley collection of bags.
Hope you had an amazing trip.
Hi April!! Awww, thank you so very much sweet lady!! I got most of my tops from Dressbarn and a couple from Avenue. :) I have tried to hone my packing skills over the years...I've got it down to an art now-a-days...hahaha. ;) Thank you so much for watching!!
Hello Arlynn!!! I absolutely love the way you pack 😊. Nice job!! Beautiful pictures at the end. You and Chris make a nice looking couple : ). Have a good night!
Hey there Donna!! Aww, thank you so very much girl...for all of your sweet words!!!
Hi Arlnn! I learned a much better way to pack, watching this video...Thank you! You look so pretty and relaxed in the pictures. Your outfits and jewelry choices were very nice and you look beautiful in all of them. *Hugs*
You will be the best dressed one on your cruise. Love your style. Do you share where you buy your clothes if I'm not being too personal? Hope you have a wonderful trip. Show us pictures when you return. Also love your channel.
Hi Ann, you are absolutely not being too personal. I buy my clothes from Dressbarn and Avenue (well all of the clothes in this video came from those two places). We have already done this cruise, those pictures at the end of this video were from this cruise. :) :) Thank you so much for your sweet words dear lady!

Thank you. You are the sweetest person. I love your channel. Bless you.
I love to watch your videos. You have great taste in everything. I am concerned about packing medications in checked luggage, I always carry medication in carry on or in my purse. My brother in law had a good idea he and is wife have one or 2 outfits in each other's bag in case one suit case gets lost. Just some things to think about.
Hi Valerie, aww thank you so very much girl. I'm with you about medications...well prescription meds anyway, they always go in our carry-on bags. I do pack Tylenol, Advil, and the like in my checked luggage. :) Great idea about putting outfits in each other's bag!! :)
Miss Arlynn would you mind sharing some places you find your lovely outfits? Especially your tops and skirts.
Hi Tannie thank you so much girl!! I get most of my tops from Avenue.com. Also my skirts. Dressbarn used to be one of my go to stores but they will unfortunately be closing soon.
Beautiful clothes thank you 😊
Leticia, thanks so much girl!!! 💖
Love all the outfits!! The red blouse with flowers is my favorite where do you get your tops? Thanks for sharing 💜
Awww, thank you so very much Kristina!! I got most of those tops from Dressbarn...some last year and some this year. :) Thank you for watching girl!
Great detailed video! You really pack alot of items. I found that most of the items I pack I really dont use. Did you wear all of your outfits?
Thanks so much! I honest to goodness utilized everything that i took. And yes, I wore every one of the outfits that I took except for one pair of the capris (I planned every outfit- it was a 10 day cruise). :)
Love those packing bags. It's really such a smart way to pack. I have never cruised but watching your videos is making me want to, and, soon! Love ya!xo
Thank you so, so much Merri!!! Love you too!!
Arlynn, Where did you pack your formal dining night clothes???
Good morning. You looked gorgeous!! Thanks for posting your pics and sharing all of your packing tips. Those packing cubes look amazing!! Have a wonderful day.
Hey there sweet Kimberly (I saw you o Kim's LIVE today...haha). ;) Thank you so much for your sweet words lady friend!!
TFS.......❤️
You are so very welcome Norma!
Hi! Arlynn you are a beautiful fashionista! Love all your outfits and how organize all your stuff in small bags. Hope you had lots of fun with your friends. Lisa Sagardia
Hey there Lisa...Awww, thanks so, so much lady friend!! We did have a lovely time with our friends...I was sad when it was over...dag gone that thing we call time, it always passes too fast when we don't want it to. ;) Thanks a bunch for watching!!
Hello Arlynn, what a breath of fresh air you are. I have been looking for a interesting crafter you are that and more. You are uplifting,stated you have good standards (important to me) present yourself in a positive and organized manner. Conduct your chanel professionally. We don't just see your hands crafting you make excellent use of your camera positioning. You and your surroundings are pleasant and appealing. I like the use of grafic posts. You are welcoming and informative. You don't appear prideful or vain the opposite demonstrates it's self with the inthuassium you display. I am looking ford to watching and learning. I am on my husbands chanel . I am really wife Vickie.
My a couple of type-os. My phone does not always print what I type. Vickie
Hey there Vickie...Thank you so, so much for all of your lovely words!! You are so encouraging and I so appreciate that you take the time to watch and then also to comment. :)
Arlynn's Country Craft Corner Hello Arlynn I just finished watching
Arlynn's Country Craft Corner Hello Arlynn, I just finished watching your latest "shopping haul" and your 2018 Easter Tour. Iam looking forward to seeing what your creative mind will come up with. Well right off I must comment on Grace and Sam. How absolutely precious they are. I feel no house is a home with out our four legged family members. Your home is lovely inside and out how wonderful that you and your hubby have found your forever home. I enjoy the tour as you discribes the personal touches your hubby did through out. The family photos were beautiful. I especially enjoyed the ones with your father. Finally after seeing some of your creations (Easter decor) I am excited about what you will come up with next. I must tell you how warm my heart felt to see your reflection of love and faith. Often now days that is either twisted or incorrect to show or speak of . That brings me to my final obsevation. I really love how you tend to close out your viedos. With prayer, blessings for your veiwers,or encouragement along the lines of having trust and faith in God. I like the story you used about being stuck in traffic and being just where you were supposed to be at the time. GOD BLESS you Arlynn
Where did you find all the cold shoulder blouses? I have the green / torquoise one too! Wow I thought I brought alot of clothes!
Hi Barbara...I got mostly all of those top at Dressbarn, some last year and some this year. :)
I know this was 5 years ago, but was that an extension cord that you packed? I thought they were a no no. Going on our first ever cruise this January. Great video.
Hi @Till069, you were allowed to take a non-surge protected power strip. It is very important that it is non-surge protected. Here is a link for one from my Amazon shop.

Hi, were you warm wearing all that polyester?
Where did you get these lovely outfits?
I’m going look for some outfits like this. I finally found outfits I like for my first upcoming Caribbean cruise. Thank you!!
Where do you get your beautiful clothes
Hi Brenda...I shop pretty exclusively at Avenue and Dressbarn. :)
Oh no Arlynn
Are you ok...?
Hey Theresa, I'm doing okay, I've just been sick with a sinus infection....this too shall pass. :)
