Clothes
• Lay out everything you plan to take before you start putting it into your bag. If you have a tendency to over pack, put half of what you've laid out back.

• Make sure the clothes you are including coordinate and that you are taking shoes and belts to match. Try to build your wardrobe based on one basic color. This will reduce the need for multiple pairs of shoes or belts of every color.

• Consider the fabric of the clothes you are taking. If you're worried about wrinkles, synthetics are your best bet, as they require less ironing. But, if you're headed to a hot, humid climate, you'll want to take along clothes made of natural fibers, such as cotton, that breathe and provide protection from the sun.

Toiletries
• Use small plastic bottles for your liquid hair and skin care products. Make sure bottles are only about three-quarters full to keep them from leaking if they are squeezed or get frozen (liquids expand when they freeze). You may also want to put the bottles into plastic freezer bags for further protection. If you travel often, make sure to refill your bottles after each trip to save time when packing for the next one.

• Plastic zipper baggies have so many uses. Seal any items that have leak potential.

• Lay out everything you plan to take. Make sure the clothes you are including coordinate and that you are taking shoes and belts to match.
