Consider where you will be staying and what items might be available there. For example, if you are visiting your mom you might not need to pack shampoo or toothpaste. Also consider how long you will be staying. You probably won't need tweezers for an overnight stay.

Place liquids and creams inside of Ziploc baggies. Tuck your deodorants and bars of soap in one of these baggies. Throw in some baby wipes and perhaps a roll of toilet paper or package of tissues as you never know when these might save the day.

Tips & Warnings
Streamline your packing by using shampoo samples and travel-sized toothpaste, especially for shorter trips.
Make some of your makeup do double duty and you can pack less. For example, use your lipstick as blush.
