10 WAYS TO PACK LIGHT (Tips for Packing for 2 Weeks) 

Those are some great tips Lisa!

Very glad to be of help! Did you go on your cruise yet? How did the packing go???

Yes! That definitely works too! The weight is a little something extra handy when you're traveling and want to make you don't go overweight while traveling (aka doing some shopping).

lol we tried that. The luggage was so heavy we could barely hold it besides the fact that the luggage hid the weight on the scale lol

Definitely!

As long as you bring plenty of underwear you’re good you can rewear pieces over and over again without laundering them

Thanks Mel! I should make more sit down videos. If you have any that you think I should do travel related, let me know what you would like to see. :)

Thank you so much!!

I completely agree! I have a rule if I can't lift my suitcase at home (talking about my checked bag) then I know I definitely need to take things out. 💯 about the need to weigh a carry-on. Those fee's can add up! Good tip about doing a "test run" for the toiletries! Very smart!

The foundation trick is a game changer! You’ll never pack the full bottle again!

So glad you found my channel! ❤️ Where are you headed?

Thank you! I hope they help you out on your next trip! 🧳

Aveda has the best hair brushes right?!

Thanks Victoria! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Wow! I commend you for packing for 4 weeks in a carryon for both summer & winter! Incredible that you remember everything you packed too!

I like to bring flip flops too for beachside holidays 🏖️

Agreed, it's defiantly nice to have a working hair dryer. I usually hope for the best or put my hair up. 😂 Also a good travel hack to take some hotel shampoos & conditioners along with you.

Honestly once you do this, you’ll realise how much you don’t actually wear! I bet there will still be outfits you only wear once. 😉

I plan to try this - wear the outfit 2x so i can pavk less

Glade you liked the video!! Hopefully my tips will help you on your next trip!

Thanks Susan! Are you traveling anywhere soon?

You're very welcome Abigail. You headed on a trip soon?!

Thank you! Always try to give good value! Let me know if you end of using any of these tips and they work out! ☺️

@@SophiesTravelSecrets will do! Leaving on weeks trip on Sunday!

You’re welcome! Are you off a trip soon?!

You're welcome Alisa! Where are you off to?

So glad to hear that my tips are helpful! The worst is bringing a bunch of stuff that you never used & lugged around everywhere. 😅

You're so welcome!

Agreed, each person has their own things that are important to them. I normally make do with the hair dyer in the room & hope for the best (or just put my hair in a bun). 😂

You're welcome Cynthia!

I'm so glad!

Thank you! ❤️

You’re welcome!

That's a good call 😉

You’re very welcome!

So glad you found my video. First time travelling - how exciting! Hopefully you'll catch the travel bug and you'll never stop. ;)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow, 8 weeks! I would def be bringing a medium suitcase and be backing for 2 weeks with some extra pieces to mix in. Plus, being in europe, you'll probably do some extra shopping ;). Glad you liked the video! What part of Europe are you going to??! x

@@SophiesTravelSecrets hey loved ur video I am going to India for 2 months

Really happy you liked it! Wow, 2 months! You must be so excited!

How good right? You'll never go back to bringing the whole bottle again! Lens case - genius! Glad my tips were put to good use! 🥰

Lens cases are perfect for facial lotions. I love this tip!

You're welcome ♥️

Hi Sherides, how exciting to go on a cruise on the med! I've only taken the ferries vs a cruise but have never had luggage getting stollen (knock on wood). As for the Master Packing list, unfortunately, there wasn't a way for me to make it as a download so I've recommended everyone to make their own master packing list so they can refer back to it for any upcoming trips.

I now use Ethique Flash Multi-Purpose Solid Laundry and Stain Remover Bar - works really well!

Tide makes little packets for sink washing. You can put them in a small zip lock bag which take up little space.

@@gailstaton4350 Good idea!

How nice that you are going home! Hopefully my tips help!

haha yup!

Thank you!

I just bring a laundry bar soap with me. You can order the one I put in the video or any other laundry bar soap will do.

@@SophiesTravelSecretsthanks! Have never tried one. Will Order the one you recommend here!

Hi Mirabelle, really glad you found the tips helpful. Amazon sells tons of them which a huge selection to choose from. This one looks good and as a lot of reviews: www.amazon.com/FREETOO-Portable-Suitcase-Superior-Capacity/dp/B08R8VX59J/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=luggage+weight&qid=1624355735&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFBMEVMT01WNFdPRlMmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA4NDMyNzFPWVNPSFQ3N0Q0ODYmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDQ4NzU0NTNKMTU1WDM2SENVMEwmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

@@SophiesTravelSecrets Thank you so much!

For me, it does. If I sweat through my clothes to the point where I can't where them anymore, I'll definitely do laundry. Otherwise, I would suggest packing more if you won't have the time to do laundry quickly.

Zara!

@@SophiesTravelSecrets The color is amazing!!!

💯 works!

WOW - that would have miserable to lug around! Your poor back!

Lucky! I want to go to Greece! 🇬🇷

Sorry Emma but I don't have a platform that allows downloads so I would recommend creating one yourself on your computer with everything you'd pack for a trip. x

@SophiesTravelSecrets no problem, thank you for your answer!

Good question, I would recommend bringing items made with lightweight fabric that you can roll to save space. Bring pieces that work very well with other pieces that you can layer if need be. Wear your heaviest shoes and jacket on the plane. I hope this helps xx

I also look at the little flimsy things and know my tops etc take up way more space! I use packing cells to roll and pack clothes. I wear a longline cardigan on the plane that can double as a dressing gown if needed. I use layers a lot, and take a black longsleeve merino top and black merino leggings. These can double as pyjamas if need be, but their value is that worn under other layers they provide the warmth on colder days that you would normally get from bulkier garments worn on top. A slip for under a dress can also be a nightie. My scarf on the plane is more pashmina size and wool, so it makes a great blanket if the plane is cold, or wrapped around me on a cool night on holiday gives extra warmth. A knitted wool hat does not weigh as much as an extra jumper but can keep you warm. Also, you don't need to turn knickers inside out for one more day's use; just use a panty liner the first day, remove it for the second (my mother-in-law gave me that tip). Wash your lingerie in the morning shower with you and place between towels on the bathroom floor and stamp on them to remove excess moisture. Hang to dry, over a hanger over the back of a chair a metre or more away from a heater or heat vent, or on a shrub on a private verandah.

yeah I get that but sometime's hotels actually do carry good products. Just depends how light you need to pack. ;) I normally bring my own shampoo & conditioners if I am going on a trip for more than 3 days. Otherwise, I will try not wash my hair if I can.

@@SophiesTravelSecrets I do understand I have stayed at hotels that Carrie really nice brands but what I was trying to explain that some people have very very dry hair even though it’s blonde I have to use a shampoo that doesn’t have as much surfactants. I use one by ACURE

@@elizabethhill2923 Totally understand. Of course, then bring mini bottles of your fave products. These are just tips for those looking to pack lighter. x

That's what I've done as well but I luv the color-coding idea as well.

I thought about sharing but wasn’t sure how. I would make yourself a master one on your computer with everything you think you could possibly need on a trip. As you go on, you’ll add to it. ☺️

I thought about doing that but wasn't sure how to share with the public. I would suggest writing up one on your laptop that you can keep for reference. ;)

You would have to be very selective with what you bring. However, that wasn’t the topic of this video. 😉 Hope you got some useful tips out of it! 💡

@@SophiesTravelSecrets on the other hand, I do believe that it’s an important part of these type of videos, as it’s not only important to pack smartly, but at the same time complying with the ever more stringent airline requirements regarding weight. No use if you have packed smart… but your carry on outweighs the allowed kg.

Thank you for subscribing! Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, once you’re on the trip, you realise how much you didn’t need! 🧳

Sorry, I don't have the option to offer downloads but I suggest you write one out for yourself and keep it on your computer. One you make your own master you can keep adding to it as what you pack is relative to you. ;)

Sorry but I don't have a platform that allows downloads so I would recommend creating one yourself on your computer with everything you'd pack for a trip. x

also a good hack!

Sorry Terra but I don't have a platform that allows downloads so I would recommend creating one yourself on your computer with everything you'd pack for a trip. x

Been there! Never again 🥵

Haha yup! I used to be like that 🤣

Thank you!

Hahaha agreed!! 😂

haha I actually deal with this getting ready for work everyday! Cold, hot, cold 😂
