15 of the Best Packing Tips Ever for Traveling

1. Make a packing list

Passport? Check. Toothbrush? Check. Sunscreen? Doh! For peace of mind that you’ve got the essentials covered. 

2. Avoid stains

Ever packed light clothes and found a stain on them when you arrived? Never have this problem again. Firstly you should always make sure your light-colored clothes are packed inside out, and secondly, hold on to hotel disposable shower caps and use them to cover the base of your shoes.

3. Roll and vacuum pack

Don’t arrive at your holiday destination and be faced with a pile of ironing. To save space and stop creasing, roll your clothes instead of folding them, then place them in vacuum compression bags. To use these bags, put your clothes in, seal the bag, then squeeze the air out. This will leave you with lots more space in your suitcase and will prevent creases.

4. Cube your clothes

Another good packing solution is packing cubes – this help separates your items and finds things more quickly once you get there.

5. Fill dead space

When it comes to packing, make use of every little inch of suitcase space that you can. Roll tops underwear, socks, and other small items and stuffs them into your shoes to make sure every possible space is filled.

6. Stay fresh

It’s important to keep your clothes smelling fresh, especially if you’re on a long trip. By taking a small bag of potpourri, fabric conditioner sheets, or scented drawer liners, you’ll keep your clothes smelling sweet throughout the trip.

7. Ziplock bags

How do you usually organize all of your electronics, cables, those fiddly bits that take you ages to dig out at security? Stuff them in like the rest of us? Well, if you want to organize your packing then get yourself a stash of zip lock bags. Phone charger, camera charger, adaptor, headphones – take extra plastic bags (the same ones you’d use for hand luggage liquids) and use them to store electrical items, things for the journey home (house keys, parking ticket, and car keys), medication and other loose accessories.

8. Cotton wool

To prevent your pressed powder or eye shadow from cracking during your travels, place a flat cotton wool pad in between the pressed powder and the lid.

9. Don’t

Whether it’s that steamy romance novel, thrilling sci-fi, or a dog-eared travel guide, download it before your trip. Even if at home you’re a paper-til-I-die sort, save the space and weight for your holiday. And don’t count on Wi-Fi to jump back into the story from your perfectly positioned beach chair. Make sure it’s on a water-resistance covered device (check out Otter box for some serious protection for your cherished e-reader, phone or tablet).

10. Empty bottles and tubes

To avoid the worst-case scenario of being robbed, it’s best to be inconspicuous: don’t flash cash or expensive jewelry. If you’re worried about valuable stuff in your hotel room, hide it in an empty suntan lotion container. You could also use empty lip balm containers to hide rolled up notes.

Everything You Need To Know To Clean Your Walls

Spring Cleaning is somewhat overdue in case you haven't begun yet, but better late than never. If nothing else, then you have probably swapped your sleeves for tops and your faux-fur throw for a knit one. However, I bet you didn't think about cleaning your own walls. Well, here is a guide for how to perform it, based on the sort of paint you might have. How to clean walls coated with horizontal paint Horizontal Paint is not as durable as other finishes, so it is a lot easier to damage, and that's the very last thing you want to do. Therefore for walls with horizontal paint, you have to have a little extra precaution. Completely wring out the sponge every time you wipe, and utilize a soap solution that's quite mild on detergent. Most of all, don't use vinegar in this alternative; use only dish detergent and water. How to clean walls coated with semi-gloss paint Semi-gloss Paint is a bit more lasting, so bring on the dish soap --but not too much. It'...

6 Best and Simple Tips for a Smoother Trip

However, beyond the big picture, it is the small things that may make a trip easier and less stressful. 1. Park with your car nose out. In the rush to grab the parking lot bus, it's easy to leave an interior light on; I would guess that more travelers  that I know have had dead batteries at an airport than at any other circumstance. If you return to your car to find a dead battery, broken windows due to thievery or some other potential problem, you will want your vehicle to be parked out the nose for easier access to the battery, or even for an easier hook-up into a tow truck. 2. Leave time to market lots. As airports extent, they want more parking areas; these spaces are more frequently seen parking lots which are off-airport in every respect but name. You'll also discover that these lots tend to be considerably lower-priced than other lots. As a result, they are the very best location for economy-minded travelers, especially for longer trips wher...
