A Guide to: Packing

Its that time of the year again - holidays! And just like everyone else I have my holidays too, but mine is to a Christian Festival for 2 weeks in England. None the less, I am super excited for my holiday even if it is in England still. But packing is still an essential and it is still a let down for me nearly every year. 

Until now when I came up with a little guide for packing a suitcase for your 2 weeks wherever you are going. 

         CLOTHES

• Black and White vest tops 
• Pretty floral tops 
• T-shirts
• A Skirt
• A Dress 
• A shirt or Cardigan (wear as a pull over)
• Pairs of Jeans (wear them again and again)
• Leggings 
• Tights 
• Tracksuit bottoms (Stay Fit)
• pair of Pyjamas
• Hoodies or Jumpers (even if you are going somewhere hot you might still need them)
• Waterproof Coat (Again, you might need it where ever you are going)
•  Bathing Suits (or one if you are going somewhere cooler)

          SHOES

• Flip Flops (Rubber and Washable)
• Sandals
• Flats
• Wellies (festivals and wet places only)
• Trainers (Running and everyday) 

          TOILETRIES 

• Shampoo and Conditioner (or my No Poo substitutes) 
• Shower Gel
• Tooth paste and Tooth Brush
• Deodorant
• Everyday Perfume 
• Shaver and Shaving foam (2 weeks is a long time)
• Vaseline
• Make-Up 
• Sun Cream (SPF 15+)
• A Face Cream
• Body Moisturizer 
• Towel 
• Flanel 
• Face Wash

         OTHER 

• A Belt 
• Sunglasses 
• scarf 
• Great pairs of earrings 
• Blanket 
• Notebook and Pen

         CAMPING ESSENTIALS 

• Sleeping Bag
• Pillow
• Blow Up Mattress

      THINGS I FORGET AND REALLY SHOULDN'T

• UNDERWEAR
• SOCKS 
• TOOTH BRUSH

Once you have everything you will need the tricky bit of cramming it into your suit case will commence if it hasn't already. 

I always put my toiletires into a little bag and put them in first as they are quite often the heaviest. 

I start out with the bigger stuff like coats, hoodies, shoes and jeans. I roll them up as small as I can. And really tightly push them into corners. Shoes I put into a plastic bag and try to put into the top lid part of my suit case. 

Then I do the same with my tops and t-shirts. Roll them up and fit them into the other gaps. 

The last few things I put in is the underwear as it is the smallest and can fit into the smallest gaps.

 Then I go for the others, the essentials but not necessitates like the belts and earrings. 

If you are taking any jewelry, flatten them out onto a scarf and roll up. This will keep them from getting tangled up and knotty while you are traveling. 

Next Step: Travelling.
