TOP 5 TRAVEL SIZE HACKS

If you’re like most, you’ve been on a plane or have taken some sort of trip at a point in your life. Our fellow travel-loving Beauties know about the ‘Packing Blues’. Packing for any vacation is a stressful task by default. You often find yourself asking “Should I bring this?”, “What if I need that?” and “How am I going to fit all if this in one bag?!”

Here are our top 5 hacks for travel-size packing:

  1. Bobby Pins & Tic-Tacs

For most women, bobby pins are a handy must-have for maintaining any style no matter what texture you’re rocking.

Keep your bobby pins organized by putting them in an empty tic-tac container. Not only does this keep them together, but it also makes for a sweet dispenser!

  • Splurge for Reusable Travel Size Container

If you’re a beauty who loves to travel, it can get pretty pricy always having to purchase travel sized versions of products you already own. Instead, opt for reusable travel containers that you can refill.

Mouthwash and toothpaste, check! Shampoo and conditioners, check! Shea butter and exfoliators, check!

  • Mini Flat Iron

Need we say more?! No matter how slayed and laid your hair is, there’s always that one stubborn piece that won’t cooperate.

Traditional flat irons may take up unnecessary room, especially if you have a wavy-like texture where you won’t be straightening your hair often. Invest in a mini flat iron to keep those fly-away’s in check!

  • Dryer Sheets

Keep clothes fresh. When packing, the goal is to get as many items as possible into the smallest luggage it can all fit in. But think about it, shoes, clothes and toiletries squished together in an airtight space…can someone say yuck?!! Tucking dryer sheets throughout your luggage can help preserve the freshness of your clothes while blocking the funk from your shoes.

  • Shoe Storage

    While we’re on the topic of funky shoes…they’re not completely useless in our suitcases. Shoes makes a great space saver for your travel size bottles. Just place a bottle in a zip-loc bag to minimize the changes of a messy spill and put the bottle in your shoes. Viola! More room for more clothes!
