To pack, or not pack, that is the question.

Whenever I hear that I will be going out of town the first thing I think about is packing. Some people love it, some people hate it. Personally, being a very indecisive person, the thought of planning out my outfits for the next few days is stressful. You never truly know what the weather will be like or how fancy or casual you want to go. Being someone very passionate about traveling, I’ve thought a lot about traveling and tips and tricks to making the trip easy and fun; step one being making sure you have all your essentials and look cute. The first thing is to pack the few things you know you will need no matter what, such as undergarments and toiletries. My advice is to always pack more underwear and socks than you feel like you need because it’s better to have more than not enough. I also always make sure to toss in a swimsuit just in case of emergencies! When it comes to toiletries, I would recommend finding a travel sized tooth brush and tooth paste because that is one thing that you can easily squeeze in. Next, I would always bring your personal shampoo and conditioner because it’s not worth ruining your hair over hotel soap. When out of town you want your hair to look its best! When trying to save room, purchasing a pill case to hold your pills is worth it because it helps with easy access and gives you the ability to count out the amount of pills you need. Be sure not to forgot a good moisturizer, deodorant, and sunscreen!! Moving onto the attire, I have had many cases where I was frantically stuffing 5 pairs of shoes into my bag because each outfit needed a different style. Because I LOVE SHOES, I have found that choosing a color scheme for your trip will help minimize the pairs that you need. For those of you out there who are very into accessorizing, I know how painful it can be to leave your favorite jewelry pieces at home but grabbing your hoops and a simple necklace will save you from loosing any valuables. Lastly, I strongly recommend bringing a nice dress and a pair of pumps because you never know when you are up for a fancy night out. Packing is crazy and stressful but it’s worth taking the time to do so thoroughly so you can feel confident in your trip attire and rock it!! No more picking through useless clothing items and tiredly going to the nearest pharmacy searching for a toothbrush and having to pull up your hair into a messy bun because it is so greasy. Hopefully these tips will help create an organized and stress free packing experience. Bon voyage! Safe Travels!
