However, two other more unusual items also appeared on her post, one of which was duct tape. Brown detailed why she always packs the household item in a video on Instagram. She said: "You can tape up those dangling cords of shades or drapes that are really dangerous.
You can tape over electrical outlets ." There are a myriad of other ways Brown uses duct tape when she travels too. The TV host uses it to fix anything that might break and to child-proof - or pet-proof - hotels and apartments.
For example, she uses the duct tape to soften sharp edges where young children could potentially bang their heads. Even though holidaymakers can purchase travel-sized duct tape, she recommends packing a full-size roll in a fun colour.
