How to Pack your Bag

Pack like a Pro!

Remember the fire drill:  Stop, Drop, and Roll?  The same goes for packing to fit the most in your suitcase and get the least amount of wrinkles (not on your face, but in your clothing!

Make sure to view these videos and read the information.

My simple tips...

1. Take LESS than you plan...

2. Mix and match - tops and bottoms are better than dresses. If you get a top stained, you can mix in a different top...

3. Lightweight layers... A short sleeve or sleeveless top becomes warmer with a sweater over it... on a hot day that starts off cool, the sweater can be removed. If tit starts to rain, you'll appreciate the extra layer.

4. Stop (think about the necessity of the item), Drop it on your bed, roll it tightly and place in your suitcase.

GaaaahhhhhhLLLLLLiCCCCC

Garlic is definitely the staple of Italian food....

But peeling fresh cloves can lead to frustration by the skins sticking to your fingers. Garlic burns under your fingernails,  and you can end up smelling like an Italian dinner!

I have seen this done on several different videos, and have not been able to get it to work yet, but... here's another one I found.

Will definitely keep practicing, as you can see the benefits!
