The Kardashian including Kris Jenner, Penelope Disick, Kanye West, Kim, North West, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner arrived at Yerevan, Armenia just in time ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide on April 24 during which up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Ottoman Empire.

Khloe shared a pic of her vitamins ziplock bags. To the people who critiqued Khloe’s use of ziplock bags and not a medicine box were also answered to. She said that she used ziplock bags to save space and they had the great advantage of being reusable.

They will be joining the memorial of the Armenian genocide which they have been urging people and the US government to acknowledge as ‘a genocide’ in annuls of history. They will also be filming for ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ while in Armenia.

OCD hits hard when I travel! Vitamin party!!!! Note to the ones who ALWAYS have something to say…. I save the Ziploc bags. And no I don’t have a pillbox because for all the pills I take, the pill box is large and bulky. This is a space saver for ME and if you save the bags who cares what container I put MY vitamins in. Damn yall are the most negative people at times. Shout out to my loves who are here to spread love! It’s just a picture you guys. Maybe I have a chill pill in one of these ziplocs for you negative Nancy’s Not sure if you knew this but the days of the week are the same every single week so you’re able to reuse the Ziploc bags. Mind blown!!!!! Lol
