What to Pack - I know we hear all of the time that packing light is the key to efficient travel. As a woman, that is the hardest task anyone could ever give us. Here are a few things that you can do to make packing more efficient:

Use one suitcase. It is typical for women to pack a suitcase with clothes, then a bag with cosmetics, and a bag of shoes, etc.

Contrary to popular belief, all of these things can be packed together. Your one suitcase should be large, but not too large to tote comfortably.

Purchase a suitcase that has more depth than width or height, and large pockets on the front. Large pockets can store your cosmetics, styling tools, jewelry and more.

Pack sleepwear, as well as loungewear, comfortable walking shoes, and tennis shoes. Make sure you pack for the predicted weather, but bring a few alternatives for extreme cold or heat.

Don't forget to pack the toiletries you cannot live without. If you have sensitive skin, pack your own body wash and sponges. Also pack your own shampoo and conditioner, and alarm clock.

Do not pack glass bottles. If you cannot avoid doing this, store glass bottles on the inside of shoes, secured by a pair of socks. Pack your shoes at the bottom of the suitcase, and place clothes over them.
