No Stress Packing for Short Notice Travel
How do you feel when an impromptu trip comes up? Whether it is for work or leisure – Are you excited? Pumped? Thrilled to have a change for a little while … or do you have butterflies in your tummy and are thrown into a mad panic thinking what to take and how to pack very quickly? Here are some tips so that you can pack at a moment’s notice and ENJOY that anticipation of a trip away whether for business or pleasure – Make the most of it and save yourself the stress in 2015TOP TIPS
- Pack for a week (even if you are going for two weeks you can mix and match)
- Ensure each item of clothing goes with all the other items (in other words try not to take “orphan” garments that dont go with any of your other clothing packed) – co-ordinating colours always!
- Accessories are a fantastic light way to change your whole look for example day to evening – scarves, belts, jewellery
- Layers are best.
- Even if you are going to a very warm climate some hotels really crank up the airconditioning (Conference and seminar rooms are notorious for being chilly) – take a jacket or wrap (pashminas are great)
- As a guide – for a week
– 3 bottoms (shorts, jeans, pants)
– 4 tops (neutral colours are best unless you have a colour theme for your whole travel capsule)
– 3 pairs of shoes (heels, sandals and flats for travel),
– 4 tops (neutral colours are best unless you have a colour theme for your whole travel capsule)
– 3 pairs of shoes (heels, sandals and flats for travel),
– 1 dress which is versatile for daytime/evening -( this is where accessories are great),
– PJs or nightie, 2 bras and 7 pairs of panties
– Accessories (1 or 2 belts, 2 scarves and a few pieces of jewellery which go together to create the look you want). Scarves are fantastic as they are so light to pack and can change a whole outfit if you take a neutral colour dress

-A clutch purse or smallish size for evening and larger casual bag (smaller one packed inside the other)
– Bathroom personal care, skincare and cosmetics should be travel sizes if possible (and unbreakable) – – In your cabin bag take spare toothbrush and toothpaste, mini deodorant and spare knickers (plus a tip I have is to take something called Arbonne Skin Conditioning Oil which I swear by ….) these are “emergency” items in case your luggage gets lost or delayed which has happened to us quite a few times and at least you have these items straight away.
- Shopping Trip? – ALWAYS go with a minimum amount and put one suitcase inside another as you dont want to have to buy another case just to fit all your purchases in (unless that was on your list)
- Travel in style and enjoy!
