Well, OK... yes, you can do that, I generally don't. IME it's just so
painfully slow as to be unusable. I used to do demos by installing
stuff on a live-cd environment. It sucked.
Additionally, technically if your live USB stick is created with
persistent storage, then the things you add will even be saved until
next time. But to be honest, I've never really had persistent storage
work the way it should, so I just stopped using it altogether. But
YMMV...

tl;dr ;)
Yeah, I was in a hurry... this week has been a flurry of meetings
punctuated by periods of me trying to get some "real" work done on
three different projects. Thankfully I only work two days next week
then off on vacation in Europe for 10 days...
