Thanks for all of the tips! These are great, and I will have to use them in the future. Wish I had k

I decided to pack solely in a carry-on for my trip to Chicago. I used the Delsey Hyperlite 20.5-in. discount hotel rooms uk Spinner discount hotel rooms uk (love!) and my beloved Lo Sons OG bag . I was only there for three days, so really, there was no reason I couldn't fit it all in these two easy-to-manage bags. But to be completely honest, I have not always been a light packer. In fact, I've been known to pack way more than necessary for just about every trip I've ever taken. So let's just say that scaling down to just the essentials discount hotel rooms uk hasn't come naturally.
In packing my carry on, I didn't really have to sacrifice the amount of clothes I wanted to take. I didn't have to mix and match outfits. Instead, I just learned how to pack more efficiently . And those are the tips I'm sharing with you today.
Tissue paper will help decrease wrinkles in your clothes because it gives the fabric a slippery surface. Lay down a piece of tissue paper, then set your clothing discount hotel rooms uk item on top. Just roll (or fold) the tissue paper and the clothing together. This drastically reduces wrinkles, but I always pack a travel size of Downy Wrinkle Releaser just in case. (That stuff + a hair dryer will work wonders discount hotel rooms uk on wrinkly clothing!)
This is something I just did for the first time and let me tell you, I will never not do this. It made packing more organized and made my trip itself easier. No more shuffling trying to find the right top to go with the right skirt. Each coordinating top and the bottom was packaged neatly in a one gallon size Ziploc bag.
Scour the travel section at Target. There is a whole lot of good going on in there. This travel sized razor is one of my favorite purchases of the year. No really, it is. As is this teeny tiny wet brush . When I travel, I always use baby powder as my dry shampoo because a little of this goes further than dry shampoo and it's a smaller discount hotel rooms uk package.
discount hotel rooms uk Some of the things up above aren't free samples, but you get the picture. I always hang on to free samples I receive, whether it's from a makeup counter (like the foundation!) or little packets that I've received free with a purchase. I also hang on to nicer hotel toiletries and reuse them for my next trip (or I just reuse the bottle, like I did with the Aveda lotion).
It's always nice to use a clear pouch for packing travel essentials. Keep it within easy reach and rest assured knowing that all contents are visible for easy grab-and-go. My favorite is this TSA-approved small Clarity Clutch discount hotel rooms uk from TRUFFLE .
Seems simple (or maybe unnecessary?), but packing cubes really make a difference in suitcase organization. Inside, I stack the Ziploc bags that contain each outfit. But here's the game changer... In one packing cube, I put all daytime outfits. In one cube, I put all nighttime outfits (this one isn't pictured above). In one cube I put pajamas and lounge clothes. I use the smallest cube for undergarments.
I have always rolled my clothes when I pack and it is such a lifesaver! Plus, I feel like I can get more in my bag. Got a trip coming up in two months and this would be great to win! Reply Delete discount hotel rooms uk Toni :O) July 22, 2014 at 1:08 PM

Thanks for all of the tips! These are great, and I will have to use them in the future. Wish I had known about these when I went to Chicago a few weeks ago! Reply Delete Twirly Skirt July 23, 2014 at 12:45 AM
I am a FREAK for packing cubes. I have the Eagle Creek ones you have shown, and the Compression set that goes with it, as well as the Flight001 set, and I use the Eagle Creek folding board to fold my shirts down and then often roll them if I am going to need more than 4 days worth of clothes. I also set my outfits out and put them together, though since using the cubes I ve stopped doing the ziploc thing and just keep them together . I am not a day/night dresser, because I am lame and don t do much partying. I can usually get an entire week s worth of clothes, including PJs and underwear/socks/bras into one clothing cube from Eagle Creek, unless it s winter, discount hotel rooms uk then I put my camis, underwear, bras and socks into a smaller eagle creek so let my clothes fill the Flight001. It s like a game to me now, how can I cram all my stuff into a single carry on, or pack for two giant humans in one carryon with little spillover in a smaller one (like medicines discount hotel rooms uk and liquids and the magazine stash in that one) Reply Delete Add comment Load more...
