You guys, just picture this. I had to pack. I had to leave in 10 minutes. Last night, I thought, “Okay, tonight’s the night. I'm definitely getting to packing.” Well, we all know how that turned out. 🙈

Before I dive into the methods, let me paint the starting picture: shoes scattered, bags everywhere, and an empty suitcase. But fear not! Let's turn this around.

1. Separation First: Let's get organized. Place shoes and bags on one side, clothes on the other. Lay everything out so you can see it.
2. Prioritize Weight: Heavy items like those thick leather pants or dense denim should always be at the bottom.
3. The Magical Roll: Fold your clothes, then roll them tight. This not only saves space but also keeps your clothes organized and wrinkle-free. Think of it as a little puzzle, placing pieces where they fit best.
4. See Everything: One advantage of this method? You open your suitcase and BOOM! You see everything at a glance. No more rummaging!

I'm heading to Vegas this weekend (Hello, summer league basketball! 🏀). And though I might pack 100 outfits I'll never wear, thanks to the fold and roll, I have the option to wear them.

Nobody likes street-worn shoes mingling with their clean clothes. My life-saving hack? A simple plastic bag. Trust me, it’s not as ghetto as it sounds. Slip your shoes in, and rest easy knowing your clothes remain untouched by the streets. And for those trendy bags and heavier items like makeup kits? Place them on top.

• Sunglasses, wallets, hair clips: store them neatly so they’re easy to find.
• Travel Tip: Invest in suitcases with compartments. It'll hold everything in place, ensuring your hard work doesn’t go to waste.
