Hey, everyone! I don’t know about you, but when it comes to packing for travel I always seen to go overboard and take way too much on my trip! It doesn’t matter if I’m going for a night or a week, my suitcase is always full to the max.

I found several different bag sizes, containers and even a dirty laundry bag that will help keep me organized! I love that they all match too – it makes me feel more like I’m at home!
Hanging Jewelry Roll – I had always just stuck my jewelry in a plastic bag and then when I got to my destination spent an hour untangling everything. NOT COOL! After I found a nice Roll up Hanging Jewelry Bag to keep things seperated and well organized I was thrilled! This one little product has saved me so much time and headaches!
I love that this is a Jewelry Roll is able to hang in the closet so it’s off the counter and out of the way plus it’s right with my outfits as I’m getting ready to go. with their elfa® system!

I don’t travel often but i always keep personal hygiene items in a separate bag and clothes organized by events/days. I bring extra things depending on weather.
I like to make lists of what I need to pack and then pack that list with me so I know that I don’t leave anything behind when it is time to leave.
To stay organized, I pack clothing items I will need first on top. Another thing I find indispensable is a hanging organizer where I keep my makeup, hair products, etc. I can’t do without extra hangers and Ziploc bags, either.
I make lists of all needed item for the trip. Then I pack any small items in baggies and any big items get rolled into my suitcase. I check the lists at least 3 times to make sure I have everything I need.
A laundry bag is essential if you don’t want dirty clothes mixed up with clean ones! I use a hanging organizer also keep things together and accessible. I also keep essential items packed together, clothes I will need the first night get packed on top, etc. Shoes get wrapped in plastic grocery bags, but the shoe rack in the closet would sure come in handy!
Love the closet.Looks great.
I use ebags and keep outfits together. I also have a second set of toiletries that is already in the suitcase so that those are always ready to go!
I stay organized by writing everything down I need before packing and checking everything off as I pack. I keep that list with me for when I am ready to pack back up again when I am ready to leave to make sure I have everything.
I stay organized by packing light and getting my bags packed really neat, I roll my clothes to save room and time, I also unpack as soon as I arrive to the hotel.
To stay organized, everyone has their own suitcase & I always pack hangers to hang our clothes, & also pack bags for dirty clothes so I can keep them separated.

I pack in rolls so I have more space in my suitcase:)
I am a firm believer in using Ziploc bags or travel bags to organize my items.
I pack my clothes in more or less the order in which I will be using them, with the things most needed on top. I pack toiletry and medicine items in two bags, separated by type. I could certainly make use of their glide-out drawer for folded items! I like to unpack everything to be more orderly.
I use ebags so that my clothes are separated by days and I have everything I need right at my finger tips – I also use ziploc bags to make sure nothing leaks!
