To avoid backaches and the hassle of worrying about travel bag weight allowances, pack light. It is hard work, but it will ultimately be worth it. You will need enough room to fit in new purchases, anyway! Here are some useful tips to pack light. 1. Bring just one pair of jeans. You can wear jeans than once without anyone noticing. Convertible zip-off pants are great, too. 2. If you will be going to a warm place, then pack shorts instead of jeans to save room. 3. A pair of shoes is good enough. You will have another pair on your feet. That way you will have two. This allows you to create several combinations for outfits. Just make sure that they are of very different designs. 4. Do not bring 'just-in-case' clothes. Bring a bit of detergent with you instead. Then you can wash your clothes in the sink and hang them to dry the next day. However, 100% cotton clothes take a very long time to dry, so leave them at home. 5. If your skin cannot stand a few days of missing the complete steps of your daily skin care regimen, then pack them in little travel-size bottles instead. Once you have finished each bottle, you can just dispose of it and your suitcase gets a bit lighter. 6. Do not pack your entire make-up kit. Just carry the palette that coordinates with the outfits that you plan for the trip. Avoid liquid eyeliners and eye shadows to avoid unexpected drawbacks. 7. Stretchable tops are great for packing light. They can shrink down and stretch when you wear them. 8. Wash-and-wear does not only apply to hair. Pack clothes that do not require ironing. 9. To make use of all available spaces, place travel chargers, plug converters, and the like in your shoes or boots. 10. Perfume samplers from department stores come in handy instead of bringing the real deal. 11. There are travel towels that are very light, absorbent, and fast drying, which consume a small space. 12. A good idea is to make a list of what clothes to bring according to the days out of town. If you will be staying for just five days, what is the use of bringing twenty shirts? Plan your outfits beforehand. About the Author: James Brown writes about www.simplybestcoupons.ca.
