So I'm going on trip in a few days and I'm clueless on what pack. the trip total is 6 day five nights.

how many days before I leave should I pack.
what are some toiletries commonly forgotten
how many outfits should I bring
what Accesories should I bring
how many and what shoes should I bring
its an 11-12 hour ride the first day and a 9 1/2 hour ride the second day and I will be in the back of a truck so what should I wear and how should I do my hair
what are some things I should do beauty wise to prepare for the trip like facial, nails, etc

I'd pack 2-3 days before
some people forget their toothbrush/toothpaste,deodorant, things of that sort
bring 1 for everyday and night and maybe 2 extras (bring items you can layer and mix and match with things)
bring what accessories you usually wear keeps them in a secure place so you don't lose or break anything
bring flats sandals sneakers a simple pair that can go with multiple outfits,possibly heals depending on what you're doing
wear comfortable things like leggings or loose jogging shorts and a tee/tank with some comfortable shoes
keep your hair simple and simply do what you normally do or throw it up in a bun or pony
depending on what your doing and where you're go big should help you prepare if it is going to be dry bring moisturizer if the climate is different be prepared to handle your skin. nails and facials are nice but not necessarily a necessity get them if you'd please.
hope this helps xx

1.) I usually pack sometime that week before you leave.
2.) Sometimes I will accidentally forget my toothbrush because that's a last minute packing thing, but other than that I do pretty good at making sure I pack all my toiletries.
3.) Only bring as many outfits as you need. I always bring extra pairs of underwear just in case that time of the month rolls around (; I also like to try to remember to pack PJs because that's something I often forget.
4.) You only need to pack the accessories you'll wear. I'm not a huge jewelry or accessory person so I only pack some that would match my "dressy" outfit in case we were to go out to eat.
5.) I usually bring 2-3 different shoes. (casual, dressy, and tennis shoes)
6.) That's a long drive! I know what that's like. I had to drive all the way to Montana which let me tell ya, that was not cute. I wouldn't wear any makeup because you're not really going to be seeing anyone that you'll need to "impress" lol (unless you stop somewhere nice to eat). For hair, keep it simple and comfortable. I usually leave my hair down because I'll be sleeping in the car most of the way and ponytails just make that difficult imo. You can bring a moisturizer to keep your skin moisturized, but no need for a whole facial or getting your nails all dolled up. Just wait until you're actually in Arizona (:

I'm from New Mexico! Where abouts?

I'd pack 2 days before
I always forget toothpaste for some reason, so definitely grab that! I like to bring my own shampoo and conditioner as well.
I would bring 8 outfits just incase you change your mind on an outfit, I'd also bring things that are easy to mix and match!
Accessories, um depends on the outfits :) I usually don't bring much jewelry when I travel. Too much of a hassle.
I would bring a couple of sandals, and a couple of sneakers. Just to be safe.
For the days you'll be in the road, dress comfy but it's hit in New Mexico and Arizona so something that allows you to breathe haha! So leggings and a tank top? Sandals or sneakers whatever.
& it's very humid in New Mexico lately, and HOT! But it can get dry, so moisturize. And maybe bring a mask to use :)

1. I always pack the night before or the morning I leave but that's because I procrastinate so much. I recommended packing 2-3 days before
2. I always forget toothpaste and toothbrush
3. Bring an outfit for everyday plus some extra basic items just in case. And bring one nice outfit in case you go somewhere fancy
4. Bring some versatile jewelry that can go with several of your outfits
5. Bring about 3 pairs of shoes, 2 everyday and 1 nice pair
6. Wear something comfy and I like braiding my hair for long car rides
7.maybe get your nails done before you go
Have a good trip :)

I always pack the day before and finish packing the day of. Just so I can wash my face, brush my teeth, do my makeup etc. Without unpacking anything.
I never remember hair ties, lotion, and makeup remover until the last minute. I try to create a list of things I use on a daily basis a week beforehand so I don't forget anything.
It depends on what your doing. I tend to pack an outfit for everyday I'm gone, plus backup clothes and a nice outfit for a night out.
Keep it simple and only bring what you know you will wear. Try to bring universal pieces that will go with all your outfits.
I tend to just wear one pair of shoes, my converse, but you might want to bring a nicer pair of shoes if your going somewhere nice. You might also want to bring a pair of flip flops if you're going to the beach.
I would wear a comfortable pair of skinny jeans or sweatpants with a t shirt. And I would just keep my hair in a bun.
If you want you can do a facial or do your nails but I wouldn't do anything special unless you want to.
