Packing Tip #9

My 2nd favorite packing mantra is this: "Pack half as much as you think, but bring twice as much money!" It is completely possible to pack light if you choose your items well! I never bring stuff that I don't wear at home. Chances are it will sit in your suitcase the same way it hangs in your closet! I also like to stick to either blacks or browns, this cuts down on the number of shoes you have to carry and keeps your luggage from getting too heavy! Don't forget that accessories, such as, scarves and jewelry help create the illusion of more outfits and take up very little room! Also, I usually find that traveling tends to cost more than you budget for... meaning there are always more things that you'd like to do and more souveneirs that you'd like to bring home! If possible bring more money than you initally planned for because it's no fun going home wishing you had done something or remorsing over a gift you couldn't bring back!

Packing Tip #8 - Cris Notti Cosmetic Bags!!!

This cosmetic tube is the perfect size for packers that like to roll their clothes.

Packing Tip #7

Didn’t have room in your suitcase for a lint roller?! I find that the baggage claim stickers the airlines attach to your checked baggage work just as well!
