10 Super Tips to Pack Less and Pack Better

Packing the toiletry kit is an art. You can’t carry all your toiletries and makeup yet you do not want to leave anything that you may need on your trip.

Here are 10 great tips by frequent travelers on how to pack light yet pack better.

·         Recall your daily routine and make note of each thing you use. Pack only that.
·         Look for items with multiple purposes. A bottle of Dr. Bronner’s can replace both your body wash and shampoo!
·         Get rid of the “maybe” items that you never use.
·         Pack higher quality makeup that doesn’t need primers etc.
·         Use your iPhone in selfie mode as a mirror instead of bringing a compact.
·         Pack daily instead of monthly contact lenses.
·         Pack makeup or toiletry samples rather than the full bottles or containers.
·         If it is a short trip, pack the liquids in smaller containers.
·         Try paper makeup instead of the normal stuff.
·         Pack according to your trip and destination instead of having a one-size-fits-all bag that lies packed in your closet 24X7.

The bottom line is there is no one-size-fits-all toiletry bag or list that works for everyone. Create what works for you.

What is a Toiletry Kit?

A toiletry kit is a small bag that can hold your toiletries and cosmetics when you travel. You would come across a variety of toiletry kits in stores and online as Dopp kits, travel kits, toiletry bags, body hygiene kits - just to name a few. Your toiletry kit is more than a bag to dump all your toiletries into. Here are three important things to consider while buying your travel toiletry kit.

The Pro Guide to Traveling Light

Packing properly is an art, especially if you are going on a long trip or multiple destinations. You want to bring stuff you are comfortable with but you don’t want to be lugging too much stuff wherever you go. That means you may have to limit yourself to a smaller, lighter bag which may seem an impossible task. However, the following guide will help you travel light without sacrificing a great deal. Travel with One Bag To ensure you can travel with a single piece of luggage, you need the right one! Ginormous bags will always tempt you to fill them. Think of a backpack or a rucksack. While most people prefer wheeled luggage, dragging a wheeled case can get very tiring especially on a long trip. A backpack allows you to spread the weight across your body better and you’ll be much faster with your luggage at your back. Packing Light Pack only what you absolutely need.
