How I Pack My Suitcase!

Hello there people! How you doing? Today's post is going to be about how I pack my suitcase. This post will be the second last post of my travel posts. My last one will be about my travel routine. I hope you are finding all my travel post useful! All of you seem to like my travel essentials post so hopefully you will enjoy today's post. So as I mentioned before, I will be talking about how I pack my suitcase and I will give you some tips about packing so without further of due, here is how I pack my suitcase!

Packing is an enjoyable thing. It gets you excited for your trip and also you get to plan out your outfits is actually something I love doing. You also have to organise your suitcase (which is something I love to do as well) and pack the right things you need for your trip. You have to consider these four things:

1. How long am I going for?
2. What am I going to be doing there?
3. Am I going to be doing somewhere where I have to be formal or is it a vacation?
4. What is the climate going to be when I arrive there

Those things you always have to consider when packing to guarantee you have enough clothes for everything. If you don't consider it, you have a chance that you are going to be over packing and you might end up paying because your suitcase will be over weight or over the weight limit.

 Here are my tips on how to help you pack and I use some of those tips (just being honest here)

When packing you have to choose a suitcase, now don't choose one that is from a brand that really isn't known for the quality of it's bags. I recommend using a Samsonite bag or a Tumi bag. The quality that comes out from those cases are amazing and they are always my go to bags. I have had a Samsonite bag for over 5 and coming up to 6 years now and it is still working well and it's not even broken or ripped. So I definitely recommend  those bags. I also recommending finding four wheel suitcases. They are way more durable and makes your life incredibly easier!

Now you are probably thinking, 'how do I pack my clothes?' What I personally do is actually fold my clothes but I find this amazing pin on Pinterest that tells you literally every single detail of how to save space in your suitcase and one of the sings it tells you is to roll your clothes. This is definitely guaranteed to save space in your suitcase and it works. Another thing that I came across was this amazing invention which was packing cubes. They are the bomb! they are specially made for different types of clothing and gear and everything like that and when you fold your clothes into the packing cubes and you put the packing cubes into your suitcase, they save so much room so I definitely recommend to check those out.

I'm going away on a two week holiday soon and where I'm going is somewhere really hot and I'm going with my family and we are just going to be basically swimming all the time so I want to bring extra clothes for when I am out the water and since it will be hot, clothes will get sticky and gross so I always want something available to change into.

Here is how I am going to be packing;

My suitcase is a medium- large pink suitcase from Samsonite. It holds a lot of stuff and it has four wheels which is amazing!

I will bring four pairs of cotton shorts and two pairs of denim shorts

I will be bringing 12 cotton shorts that I can always re-wear

I will also bring 3 swimming costumes

I will be packing, 2 pairs of flip flops

I will pack 16 pieces of underwear and bras and 5 pairs of socks

I will include as well 3 wash bags to separate my clean clothes, my dirty clothes and my wet clothes

Here are the toiletries I will be packing;

My Batiste Dry shampoo because on holidays I get very lazy with my hair and some days I won't even wash it so I need dry shampoo

My deodorant

My Bath and Body Works body soap (which I will de-can into travel containers)

My Catwalk shampoo and conditioner (which I will de-can into travel containers)

My toothbrush and tooth paste

My NuMe curl Jam Set

And finally my makeup

And that is what I will bring with me.

How I Pack my suitcase is that on the side where you put your clothes, I fold my clothes and make piles in my suitcase from shirts in one corner- pants in another corner and then I put my undergarments and my swimming suits into one bag and put that in the final  corner. After that I put my toiletries into the middle of all of that then put stuff on top to keep it safe and I do that with my curling irons and makeup as well.

On the mesh side of my suitcase, I put shoes and the bags that I will be bringing to separate my clothes on that side plus any food I will be bringing because I am a celiac so I can't eat gluten so I bring my own bread and crackers and anything like that.

That was how I pack my suitcase and I'm so sorry that that was a terrible blog post. I found it a bit hard writing that but I hope you found it useful in some way. I am actually becoming very busy at the moment and I will be publish sing blog posts on Mondays and Fridays now because I have become busy but if I have time I will write and publish blogposts between those times. My next blog post will be my travel routine so look out for that. Thank you guys so much for reading and see you soon!
