always start packing in advance and I'm not talking now days in advance it could be as
much as 24 hours in advance but enough times that you can actually plan out your packing
and do it properly it's when we do it last minute when we have terrible packing situations
happen and trust me I know because I used to be your the one who will pack in the middle
of the night the night before an early morning flight and you don't want to be that person
starts by defining what kind of luggage you need are you gonna travel carry on only or
are you going to also be needing check-in luggage well there are three things you need
to pay attention to one what kind of weather are you traveling to at the destination you're
going to two what kind of activity you're going to be doing mostly three how long is
your trip going to be one thing to really pay attention to that your luggage is lightweight
I've been using a brand called remova and I've been using them for years and this is
not sponsored by the way but the reason why I love this brand for luggages is well two
reasons number one they're incredibly durable number two they are so easy and comfortable
to roll meaning that when you are in transit when you're traveling when you're going from
A to B you're not being annoyed by your luggage that gets easily stocked or difficult to roll
instead you can literally even like roll this bag with your little pinky finger because
there's no effort required pretty much so it kind of almost Rolls by itself now if you're
traveling with carry-on only make sure it fits the size requirements for the airline
you're traveling with when you're choosing the right luggage for you you need to think
about it do you want a hard shell or a soft shell I personally love the hard shell some
people will disagree and say that the soft shell are better because you fit in more what
I think is the most important thing to think about with your personal bag is how it fits
with your carry-on and usually we have a rolling carry-on case so you want to make sure that
your personal bag is easy to stack on top of your carry-on case so that it kind of sticks
there meaning you want to perhaps have a bag with handles that are able to cross over the
rolling carry-on handle in a way where they both kind of get attached to each other now
let's talk about what to think of if you're traveling would carry on only and I can speak
from experience because I once traveled for three months with carry on only oh yes I will
probably never do that again but that was a fun experience you might have to accept
the fact that you will have to repeat clothes or that you cannot bring an outfit for each
and every occasion basically you will have to do lessons more which is why it's not my
favorite but I do love the freedom feeling of traveling so light with carry-on only because
of course you have the perk that you will not lose any luggage you will be able to go
from A to B incredibly easily I would therefore be very mindful of the items that I pack as
an example whenever I travel with carry-on only I wouldn't bring like linen outfits because
they get so wrinkly and I would also try to avoid cotton as well I would go maybe more
for polyester Blends and so on because they tend not to wrinkle as much much there are
so many different types of fabrics and blends that don't wrinkle so much so you just have
to find out which one of those you have in your wardrobe and then pack those whenever
you travel with carry-on only another tip for carry-on is to pack mostly neutral colors
or colors that you can easily combine together try to maybe stay away so much from the flamboyant
colors from the loud colors because it might be harder for you to combine things in your
carry-on usually what happens is that we pack more separates let's say we focus more on
things that you can wear multiple times like a top that you can wear I don't know a few
times together with different kinds of bottoms let's say but if you decide to travel with
check-in luggage then congratulations to you because you're gonna look cute on this vacation
well the good thing with checking luggage is that it gives you the flexibility and here
you can decide how many bags you want to travel with and if you think that I sound crazy right
now well honestly I just want to bring all the cute things that I own and and really
look my best and if that requires me to travel with two or three luggages then so be it but
yes does my husband get annoyed yes it happens but you know what that's life so the first
thing that you have to think about is are you going to be traveling with the carry-on
yes yes yes I think you should the reason why I say that is because they carry on is
gonna have its own function and the function is you're going to pack all your valuables
in there you're going to pack all your designer garments in there or designer handbags or
your jewelry because you do not want to pack that in your checking luggage you should also
pack emergency clothing in your carry-on clothes that you're going to be wearing if you lose
your luggage or get stolen for the last time I am holding a brand new workshop it's called
The Fabulous future formula where I share the road map to leveling up and success and
I'm doing it for the last time as I'm gonna move on to other subjects in my trainings
so if you always wanted to learn leveling up with me and you wanted to take some of
my free classes but you never found the time then now would be the last chance you will
have this opportunity because in the future this opportunity will not happen again this
Workshop is free and you can gain access by going to fabulousfutureformula.com but make
sure you do it today because soon this Workshop is going to disappear you need a packing list
ladies and actually I'm going to share my packing list with you so in the description
box below I have gathered lengths of recommendations from today's video and I'm also sharing my
own packing list but one thing about packing lists that I want you to know is that you
don't want to just use whatever standard packing lists are out there every time I see those
lists I look at the items people recommend and I'm like why would I need that and this
is it ladies you need to personalize your own packing lists yes I'm saying list you
will not need only one list depending on type of travel where you're traveling what kind
of the Year travel etc etc you will have different lists accordingly when I have built my packing
list I by the way love to do them in my iPhone I just do it in my notes and I love putting
those check boxes I also recommend creating a packing list either according to category
or according to bag as an example maybe you want to create a toiletry bag list or you
maybe want to create your carry-on bag list or Main Luggage list Etc or if you want to
do the category approach you would create different lists depending on category as an
example a gadget list a toiletry list undergarments list Beachwear list workout list etc for every
trip that you're going to be doing you have to write out your entire trip whether that
is the itinerary or let's call it the activity sheet once you have done your activity sheet
you can also gather the amount of outfits that you will be needing and what kind of
outfits I will be needing approximately this many lunch outfits and I will be needing approximately
this many dinner outfits now based on my own poor organizational skills I've noticed that
whenever I've started packing like in good time in advance giving myself enough time
then usually I'm able to really curate cute outfits I'm able to pack down a bunch of different
separates and then combine them perfectly well together however whenever I've been packing
the night before in the middle of the night stressing and panicking I usually do this
one thing that is super effective and saves me a lot of time headache and stress I only
pack dresses meaning that the entire trip I will only wear dresses this way I can save
myself this headache of thinking what to combine how I just literally say okay I need 10 dresses
one two three four five blah done I'm out ladies know that you do not need matching
shoes for every outfit a clever Packer is gonna have one or two or three maybe different
types of shoes that you wear with all your outfits I would therefore recommend nude pair
of shoes shoes that fit perfectly well with your skin color because the beauty of those
shoes is that you can wear them with any outfit then of course depending on the kind of travel
you need to bring shoes that fit different occasions so let's say you need a pair of
shoes for the evening let's say you need a pair of shoes for the daytime or let's say
you need a pair of shoes for whatever activity you might be doing whether that is working
out in the morning or if you're sightseeing or hiking or I don't know but you will need
special shoes for that a little tip is to wear your bulkiest shoes your heaviest shoes
on the flight if there are flats of course you don't want to travel in heels and the
same goes for handbags you do not need to pack different handbags depending on outfits
all you need is to pack a handbag that is fairly neutral in color that you can really
combine with most of your outfits so you need a dinner bag let's say or an evening bag you
need a daytime bag you need perhaps an occasion wear bag depending on what kind of activity
you do let's say you're going to the beach well then you're going to be needing a beach
bag as ladies we usually need at least three different bags some bags can be a little bit
more versatile so if you have a bag that you can wear both at daytime and nighttime because
they're not too big in size then that's definitely a keeper now I believe everybody has their
own strategy in terms of how they travel with toiletries but one thing is for sure do not
bring the big ones I usually just bring the bare minimum like my moisturizer or perfume
or something like that and then I try and buy as much as possible on location a simple
moisturizer face wash and toothpaste does the job correct me if I'm wrong in the comments
what about the toiletry bag and I can tell you that I've been looking for the perfect
one for years sorry to say but I still haven't found one ladies the trick with toiletry bags
is that I feel like it's important that they have a hard cover because it just holds everything
better in place I don't like toiletry bags that come with logos I just think that it
ruins the experience I also don't like all the cheap looking toiletry bags and I think
that's why I'm struggling so much in this department why I still haven't found one but
most importantly it's so hard to find the perfect toiletry bag because you need to have
good overview in them for me the most important is that you have a toiletry bag with easy
access and easy overview PVC transparent bags can sometimes solve the issue but the problem
is that they get dirty so quickly and it looks pretty gross after a while one thing that
is important is that you separate your makeup from the rest of your toiletry stuff it will
just be better organized neater and nicer but how do we actually pack our garments well
everybody has their own strategy of that too my strategy used to be that I just throw everything
in the luggage but then the problem is that you have wrinkly garments you might ruin your
garments you just live life like a slob but there are many different folding techniques
that you can go out and research about you have the konmari technique you have the regular
folding technique you have the Army roll and then you of course have the famous packing
cubes and packing cubes is actually something that I personally use everything that is small
in size or like loose bits and Bobs I like to use packing cubes for my packing cubes
are always organized per category as an example I will have a packing Cube for my undergarments
or my socks or my this or my dots this way will be much easier to find Once I'm packing
and of course unpacking what about the laundry bag so so so important and not just one laundry
bag you need to get multiple every time you travel because you want to put your dirty
laundry somewhere you don't want to start mixing it with your clean if you feel like
they take up a little bit of space when you travel to your location then use them as filling
inside shoes or other bulky items and actually when we speak about packing shoes you have
to also have shoe bags for your shoes some people use plastic bags but I believe that
it's quite nice to just you know keep all those shoe bags that you get when you buy
more premium type of shoes and place your shoes individually in each bag if you separate
your shoes you will be able to better fit them in your luggage without having to take
up too much space I would also always try and find those little holes and empty spaces
in the luggage because usually your individual shoe will be able to fit there maybe somewhere
on the side or a funky Angle now what about your handbags you always want to make sure
that your handbags are filled with something soft maybe you put some dust bags inside your
handbag just to prevent the squishing if you have designer handbags carry on only and make
sure you do not squash a lot of items because it's going to damage your handbags you always
want to pack your designer handbags in surfaces that are not all over packed if it is over
packed you're going to squeeze them the leather is going to be dented and everything not good
now what about hats so I do travel like this sometimes and you can see I have a little
hat box for my hat here and yes this takes up pretty much the entire luggage and you
can actually fill this box with all kinds of items like underwear socks you name it
clothing but there are of course other ways how you can travel with Hats you can get one
of those clips that you can just clip to your bag or whatever and it literally carries your
hat my last tips ladies buy an Apple Air tag and tag your luggage to make sure it doesn't
get lost always lock your luggage ladies do not check in any bags that are unlocked I've
had many things stolen that way so I know what I'm talking about I repeat myself never
check in any valuables or gadgets laptops Etc always pack a steamer however if you have
space in your luggage it's truly worth fit even if you can have your clothes steamed
in the Hotel this is a faster way of steaming your clothes especially if you want to go
out immediately after you land and lastly ladies always pack laundry detergent because
you just never know what can happen you might have an accident you might have to stay longer
somewhere or you just want to reuse something now in my next video I'm actually going to
share some styling tools that you must know if you want to be a well-dressed woman all
classy women know these tricks so make sure you watch the next video so you don't miss
out on those tips I will see you in that video
