Going away for weekends is the most refreshing feeling ever. After a week of submitting tasks, giving presentations, and meeting deadlines, a weekend getaway is what we totally deserve. But when it comes to stuffing our trolleys with clothes and accessories, we totally forget about taking along a little more charisma than usual. So, here is a list of things that will not only make you stand out but also ensure that you head out with all your essentials.
Step 1: Choosing the right bag
This obviously seems silly but you need to pick the bag that will make your journey easier and smoother.
● Your bag needs to have trendy look to it. It should not weigh much and should be easy to carry around your adventures. Opting for a backpack or duffle bag sounds like a good option because it provides a lot of space to carry your essentials.
● Packing cubes are the ultimate tool for packing light and in an organized manner. Purchase packing organizers and they will change everything for you surely.
Step 2: Deciding on what to wear during the weekend
You need to think of the kind of activities you will be doing throughout the getaway to make a wise and precise decision over what clothes to carry.
● Remember to carry one outfit from each of the following:
Dressy, Casual, Comfortable, Swimwear (if needed)
● Always choose a specific colour scheme. Neutral colour scheme clothes are always the best options for traveling because then you can mix and match which could avoid overloading of clothes in the bag.
● Compliment your outfit with eye-catching accessories like scarves, hats, and other style statements that are lightweight and are of neutral hues.
Step 3: Wearing comfortable footwear
The area where we falter the most is Footwear. But to be precise, there is no need of carrying more than two pairs of shoes.
● First, a pair of comfortable walking shoes should be on your checklist for all sorts of walking activities throughout the getaway.
● Second, another pair of slightly dressier footwear should be there for other normal activities.
Step 4: Taking the Toiletries
To carry the toiletries in a limited amount of space can be very tricky and, figuring out the product usage will be very helpful in terms of these downsizing tips.
● Get empty containers of smaller sizes and shapes. Pour in your utilities according to the amount of its requirement. Put the small containers in cute and trendy pouches.
● Buy multi-purpose products like shampoo with conditioner, body cleanser which also serves as shaving gel, and other makeup products. This minimizes the luggage.
● No need to carry unnecessary items for just a getaway. Remember to stick to the basic necessities only.
● It is wise to purchase smaller things if required than to just carry them around without any use.
Step 5: Having necessary medicines
It happens at times that the hotel/resort does not have a particular kind of medicine and it’s even harder to find meds if you’re staying outside the city.
● Get yourself a tablet case where you can keep your meds. It’s roomy but still small enough to fit into a small backpack pocket.
● Take along pain relievers, mild laxatives, bandages, and thermometers.
All these things together make the perfect getaway checklist. We always seem to forget the essentials right before leaving for a trip, but now, it’s not going to happen. All the fun awaits you. You just wait for the weekend.
