Written By Lauren Sadlon

Happy New Year! For those traveling, keep it fun and exciting — and being organized is a crucial part of having a stress-free trip. Here are my travel tips:

1.  Utilize Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are a great way to categorize your items AND get things a bit more condensed within your bag. You can pack like items together OR you could just pack individual outfits together!

2.  Folding

  • File fold your jeans and tops as a way to make items smaller and less wrinkled.

  • Rolling dresses and athleisure can help with wrinkles and making more items fit!

  • Utilize tissue paper or dry cleaning bags when folding tops as another way to fight wrinkles.

3.  Toiletries

My personal goal is always to carry on so being organized with toiletries is very important!  We recommend categorizing your skincare, makeup, dental and body care items and only take what is essential. Sometimes this means really thinking about what you're packing — don't take that almost empty serum bottle!

4.  Shoes

Shoes can go in their own packing cube and utilize the insides of sneakers to pack socks.  


Your bag is packed and you're ready to go! Safe traveling my friends!
