I love going away, but packing…not so much. I am always on the hunt for a way to simplify and streamline the process to make it less overwhelming.If I am being honest, making sure that my bag or suitcase has room to spare is always in the back of my mind since there’s a strong likelihood that I’m picking up some sort of souvenir or gift during my travels.Below are 3 of my favorite packing tips:My favorite packing tip is what I call NESTING. Essentially you’re taking a bunch of smaller items and “nesting” them inside a larger item. Shoes, Boots, and Sweatshirts are great to hold anything from undergarments to toiletries. You will be amazed at how many socks you can fit inside a boot shaft!If you’re doing any sort of air travel, I recommend keeping any MUST HAVE items with you at all times. This includes medicines and any other items that would truly impact you if they were lost. If you’re a chronic overpacker, try the 3 to 1 model. For every 1 bottom, pick three tops that go with it. This allows you to mix and match without having to pack 3 separate outfits.If you have an organizing question, we’d love for you to be part of our show!
