Stay Organized Traveling

December 11, 2014   |   14 Comments

This post brought to you by TownePlace Suites by Marriott®. The content and opinions expressed below are that of The Taylor House.

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 thought I’d share some great packing tips and tricks to help maximize the space in your suitcase and keep things a little more organized when you travel!

Easy ways to stay organized traveling for work or vacation!

I have several products that I use in my suitcase that help keep my bag organized, I found these at The Container Store® here in the Twin Cities.  If you’ve never stopped by The Container Store® and love to organize, it is an absolute MUST!  Trust me, you’re going to be in heaven!

Easy ways to stay organized traveling for work or vacation!

Products I MUST have to keep me Organized

{Everything listed below except the Suitcase can be found at The Container Store®}

This what I grabbed to help me stay organized

  • Jewelry Travel Hanging Roll
  • Baggalini Flat Iron Bag
  • Contact Case with a Mirror
  • Razor Case
  • Matching Tooth Brush
  • Dirty Laundry Bag
  • 2 Bags to help Organize Hygiene Products

Great Suitcase – this is essential!  Not every suitcase is created the same, there are different levels that provide great storage and roll really nicely.  If you’re a serious traveler, you need to invest in a good bag! You can find great weekend bags, suitcases and more at The Container Store®!

Containers of All Sizes – Make it easy on yourself and have containers for everything.  You’ll know right where to put your razor or contacts.  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!

Just look at this amazing elfa® closet I saw while I was visiting the store!  I wish that my own closet looked like this! 

I hope these tips and products will help you have more organized travel whether it’s on vacation or traveling for work!  I love TownePlace Suites by Marriott® and would recommend it to anyone looking for an extended  place to stay because of how great they are for helping you stay organized!  Having closets like this with amazing shelves and extra places to keep your cloths is key!  I know if I’m loving out of a suitcase it’s so much more difficult and it feels more stressed. Be sure to check them out next time you’re in need of a fabulous hotel!

    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!

    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 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!
