The Art of Visualization

I don't know about you, but packing for a quick getaway can be a bit stressful. I really try not to over pack anymore because it's never fun to lug around all your baggage (this is true in every sense). Ha! 

I find it helpful to lay out my outfit choices and bring a few pieces that I can mix and match. This lets me visualize what I'll wear and what I'll actually need. 

I also find it helpful to have an extra large Ziploc bag filled with travel size products, so it's always ready to be packed and it holds all of your essentials. 

I also pick one large purse and then a smaller purse to bring along. Two options and nothing more! Yes I know, I have very good self control.
