Yup, that’s how much I am allowed to bring. Technically, only half of those kilograms are going to be free. For those of you thinking in pounds, it’s 88lb alright! Well, plus the carry on, and everything that I can bring on myself. Still confused?
I am talking about my luggage! The thing is, I am moving, moving soon, moving fast, and I know that it’s going to be here before I know it. Some of my friends keep asking me when the flight is. I don’t know, I haven’t booked it yet. Now you are probably all wondering what do the 40 kg include? Clothes, my friends, mostly clothes.
I had to pack one of my suitcases today, because my uncle is going to take it to Moscow in his car, so that I don’t have to drag it there myself! Which is nice. So I pulled out most of my fall/spring and winter clothes. And now I also want to take some books, and some of my bridal magazines need to go back. I honestly have no idea how I’m going to do it all. But when I do, I will definitely let you know!
I wish the 2nd bag was free, alas, it’s not! But as you may have guessed, it’s going to be all summer clothes, and my make up, and accessories and all the other fun stuff.
I will keep you posted on what else I bring, and maybe will even make a video on YouTube!
How do you pack? Light? Not so light? Do you try and bring everything you need or just the basics? Let me know what you think!


I make sure I have those items that I cannot live without. From there I normally go light, if I find I don’t have something I need, it’s the perfect excuse to go shopping, right?! Took my husband a few years to catch on, now he makes sure I always have adequate shoes for whichever trip we are taking. I must have bought a dozen pairs on various trips.
I try to bring the stuff I know I will wear (half of my closet are usually things I don’t wear anymore). I am not afraid to get rid of stuff, so I throw out a lot all the time and moving is an excellent chance to get rid of a lot of junk! I’m sure you’ll be back to Russia to visit, or your relatives will be visiting you in the US, that way you can get some of your stuff over to the US cheaper later on.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I told my mother! It’s just that the shoes are really good here
