Packing Hacks That Will Save Your Life
We all love travelling, but if there was a way to have all of your luggage fit in one small bag that was super light, without having to leave anything behind, we’d love it so much more. But now considering this isn’t Harry Potter and we don’t have Hermione Granger’s beaded handbag with the Undetectable Extension Charm, we probably should get ready to be disappointed…Not!
Check out some of these genius packing hacks to make sure you can take all you need wherever you want and still have space left in your suitcase. Whoever said magic doesn’t exist in reality, right?
If you’re a jewellery person and are always irritated at the mess your jewellery becomes while travelling, here’s the perfect packing hack for you. Use daily pill compartment containers to organise your small jewellery, like rings and earrings and keep track of all of them.
Roll your clothes instead of folding them while packing. This maximises space in your suitcase and you will be surprised by how much more you can fit this way.
One of the biggest problems while packing is that of the bras and bikinis losing their shape because there was no place to keep them. Help your bras and bikinis maintain their shape and save space together with this neat little trick. Stack them up one on top of each other, tuck your underwear inside the cups and fold them in half. Stuffing the underwear in the middle prevents the cups for folding inwards, thus saving your inner wear from the woes of travel.
Aren’t there time when you hate the pretty glass bottles your perfumes come in? No of course we love them most of the time too, but when it comes to travelling, those glass bottles are more bane than boon. We’re always worried about them breaking inside and soiling your luggage. Well, not anymore. Protect the breakables by slipping them into socks before packing them. This ensures a soft landing, exponentially reducing the chances of a breakage.
For small trips, you need to travel light. But most of us have a makeup bag the size of a travel bag. So how do you travel light? Simple. Instead of carrying your entire makeup bag, carry small amounts of product like concealer and liquid foundation in an empty contact lens case.
No you don’t need the entire kit of makeup brushes. Toss the ones you use regularly along with other small beauty products into a sunglasses case while traveling so you won’t lose them, and save a lot of space in the bargain.
