Going through the security line is one of the least fun parts of traveling, if not THE least fun part. There are ways to speed it up though!

My favorite travel toiletries
I promised this a long time ago, and now I am delivering! I have gone through several toiletry phases in my traveling days, but I am by far happiest with the system I have now. I have my two bags, my clear plastic 1-quart size bag with liquids and my cute travel kit with my…
