I love to travel so I wanted to share a few tips for packing a perfect carry-on. I almost never check a bag. Everything I need for a long weekend can fit into one small suitcase and large purse. I always get cold on planes so I wear a sweater or jacket – something I can layer or easily pair with other looks during my trip. I always bring a snack since the choices at airports are so expensive and limited. I typically bring my cosmetic bag and all of my toiletries packed into ONE quart-sized plastic bag – should anything open or spill it won’t ruin my clothes and shoes. I upload books, movies, and refresh my music on my iPad mini. Next time you’re traveling for a long weekend, try packing light and leaving most of your wardrobe at home! Have a great weekend!
