✈️ The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Stress-Free Packing
Because traveling should be fun — not chaotic)
If you’ve ever stared at an open suitcase five minutes before a trip wondering what to wear, this one’s for you. Over the years — from weekend getaways to long-haul flights — I’ve learned that packing smart makes everything easier. Here’s how to travel light, stay organized, and actually enjoy the process.

🧳 1. Plan Outfits, Not Items
Don’t just throw in “options.” Plan looks.
Lay out outfits by day or event, including shoes and accessories. Pick a color palette (neutrals with one pop shade always win) so everything mixes and matches. Bonus: it makes getting dressed on your trip effortless.

👕 2. Roll, Don’t Fold
Rolling saves space and keeps clothes from creasing. Use packing cubes to stay organized — one for clothes, one for lingerie/swimsuits, one for accessories. I love clear or labeled cubes so I can see what’s inside without unpacking everything.

🧴 3. Mini Everything
Your toiletry bag should always be ready to grab and go. Refill travel bottles with your daily skincare and hair products so you never forget something.
→ Try refillable silicone bottles, solid shampoo bars, or compact skincare minis — they save space and prevent spills. Mini skincare bottles

🧥 4. Layer Smartly
Airports and planes are unpredictable — freezing one minute, warm the next.
Always travel in layers: a soft tee, light sweater, and a scarf that doubles as a blanket. It’s cozy and chic.

💻 5. Keep Tech Together
Use a tech pouch for cords, chargers, and adapters. You’ll thank yourself later when you don’t have to dig through your tote mid-flight.

📋 6. Create a Go-To Packing List
Keep a master checklist in your Notes app — clothes, toiletries, chargers, meds, passport.
Before every trip, just duplicate and edit. Zero thinking required.

🩴 7. Always Pack One “Comfort” Item
Whether it’s your cozy socks, a sleep mask, or your favorite tea — a small comfort from home can make your trip feel extra relaxed.

🕶️ Final Tip: Edit, Then Edit Again
Once you’ve packed, remove at least one outfit. You’ll never miss it — promise.
