Me and my friends decided to visit Lansdowne this weekend. I have already heard about this beautiful place through a common friend so I was all excited about Lansdowne. So finally we decided to start from Noida on Friday night. We had only 2 days in our hand to visit this beautiful place and we were 4 who are going to travel together in one car. This condition calls for a smart packing wherein you are not allowed to carry too much luggage. It’s a short trip for us and I have to pack as per the duration of the trip.
Following are the points which you should keep in mind before packing for any trip.
- Choose Suitcase/Travel bag First: Before you start to think about packing, choose the right suitcase/Bag. Check the size of the suitcase; no one wants to carry a suitcase that is too big for them which they can’t manage. Think about your destination and what kind of trips it is (business trip or Family vacation). You should also consider duration of your trip before packing.
- What to Pack: A great way to save space in your bag is to choose wardrobe basics that you can mix and match. Think about what you will be doing on your trip and where you will spend most of your time. You can pick basic clothes and play around them using different accessories.
- Rolling: Rolling method works well for all the clothes and it also saves a lot of space in your bag.
- Bottom First: Pack Larger items first and keep heavy items at the bottom. Like start with your shoes first and then keep your clothes on top of it.
- Lighter Stuff at the End: Keep Lighter clothes, accessories and smaller items at the end. Try and keep these stuff on the upper side of the suitcase/Bag. This trick will help in preventing crease and breakage.
Some important points to consider:
1. Try to keep fruits for snacking in place of chips or other junk, this way you can control your calories.
2. For Makeup, you can keep a multipurpose palette like Maybelline’s Nude palette. You can use your eye shadows for contouring and highlighting or else your tinted lip balm can also work as a eye shadow and blush. Miniatures or free samples can come to your rescue here, small sachets or perfume testers can save lot of space.
3. Try and keep you toiletries and makeup in separate pouch so that if there’s a spill out it won’t damage your rest of the product. You can also wrap your bottled products in plastic sheets.
4. Limit your Footwear to three. Keep two in your bag and wear the third one while travelling (Pair of chappal or flip-flop, sports shoes and Belly or sandals).
5. You can carry a tote bag while travelling. As they make your travel supper easy. They have so much of space so you can keep as much as you want to. You can also keep one to two small clutches which you can use if you go out. Or you can pair them as per your choice.
Hope this blog helps you in packing for your next trip. Do let me know if you have some interesting tips which I can also use while travelling or packing for the trip.
