I bought a giant bag of TEMU travel gear... hidden gems or total waste?

I'm getting ready for my big international trip, and I wanted to see if I could save some money on my travel gear. In today's video, I’m diving into a massive Temu haul to find out if these budget-friendly "essentials" are actually worth it! From winter wear and organisational pouches to some clever travel gadgets, I’m unboxing and testing them all before I head off. Will these items actually survive a month of travel, or are they a "maybe" at best? Watch as I share my honest first impressions—the hits, the misses, and those "what was I thinking?" moments. In this video, I'll show you: My winter accessories like hats, earmuffs, and thermal tops. The practical tools I'm using to organise my cables, jewellery, and luggage. Some unique travel finds like 3D eye masks and destination-themed stickers. How my perspective on ordering from Temu has shifted. I’d love to hear from you—what are your absolute travel must-haves? And if you’re a fellow junk journaler, definitely let me know! I’m always looking for new tips and tricks for recording my adventures.
