travelling tips for checked luggage

As I am going away on a holiday for one week, I am going to be doing a series of blogs around travelling, and travelling essentials. The first one I am doing today is what I'm packing in my checked luggage and tips for packing for a trip.

PLAN OUTFITS

The biggest tip I have is simply plan your outfits out for all the days you are going away, this way avoiding over packing. Layout all the clothes you will wear for each day( including shoes ). Look for key items that work with multiple outfits, for example do you have a key pair of jeans that you could wear a couple times but with different shirts, take a pair of shoes that works with multiple outfits you are taking with you so you don’t need to take as many pairs.

Organize what events you are doing on your holiday

When it comes to packing clothes make sure they are suitable for the different activities you want to do while you are away. For example going to a theme park make sure to pack shorts/pants and not just skirts. Want to go out for dinner in the evening, plan an appropriate nice outfit ahead of time.

Check the weather

 Check the weather before you pack, don’t simple assume it summer it will be warm, just check don’t want to get to your location and not be dressed for the weather.

TOILETRIES

Depot if possible, even if you have checked luggage it still useful to depot your skincare products or toiletries into smaller containers, to save space and weight.  

Please stay tuned for there will be more on travelling tips including what I'm packing in my makeup 

bag.
