What is in my suitcase/ Packing tips and tricks

Hey guys!:)So, I figured since it is about halfway through summer and lots of people are going on vacation that I'd share what I pack in my suitcase and a few tips and tricks I use that I found off of buzz feed. I don't use all of the tips and tricks that I am going to share, but they are definitely useful and helpful. Hope you enjoy and let's get right into it.

So, this is a list of the things I had to pack for this trip in order to be comfortable and have everything I should need.

So, these are all of my everyday outfits, that I just rolled up to save some space in my suitcase. That is one of the tips and tricks. When packing clothes it is easy to save space by just rolling your clothes up.

These are just my swimsuits. The one underneath the other two, the one that is super colorful, I got from Costco and the light blue bikini on top of it I got from Target along with the one in the bottom which is a darker blue tankini with stripes and a cool diamond pattern.

These are all of my shoes that I will be taking with me on this trip and my hat. I've got my navy blue sandals from reef, my polka dotted sandals from Target my tennis shoes/running shoes also from Target and my Navy blue Levi's from Costco. Then, there is just my purple hat from Jack's Surf Shack.

These are my pajamas for this trip. I got them from all over the place. There are some from Target and some from Costco.

Here I just have an outfit for if it gets cold. I just have a light sweatshirt from Jack's Surf Shack and some pants from the company Rumm.

This is my last outfit that will be going into my suitcase. It is in case I decide to go for a run or workout some time during my trip. It is just a pink tank top and some shorts and legging in case it is cold again. I don't know where I got the shirt or the shorts from, but I got those leggings from Target.

Now, I have my fun bag, which is kind of like a carry on. In it I just have everything that will entertain me for this trip and the long car ride to our destination.

So, the first genre of things I have in my little fun bag is books and colors. I just have a few coloring books because my mom and I love to color because it just relaxes us. Then, I just have a madlibs book, a fun word game, that my family and I like to play because it makes us all laugh.

Next, I just have my summer reading/school stuff genre and I have my summer reading book a notebook to record stuff in and the Star Wars movies. (Yes, I do have to watch Star Wars for a summer reading project.

Lastly, I have my electronic genre. I just have my kindle, my portable charger, my beats headphones, my dad's laptop(the laptop is not going in my bag, but will be brought on the trip for entertainment for me and my family, and a bunch of chargers for the laptop, my kindle, my phone, and I have my extension cord in case the outlet is far from the bed.

Lastly, I have my morning bag which just has all of my toiletries for this trip. I have my hair brush from Target, my Bethany Mota Prefume off of Amazon, my face wash, my St.Ives face scrub that I got from Target, my toothpaste and toothbrush, my lip balm and baby lips tinted lip gloss, my eyebrow brush, my shampoo and conditioner by whole blends, my comb, and then to the far left is my morning bag that all of this will be going into. I will also be putting hair ties, bobby pins, and lotion in this bag. Now, onto the tips and tricks. I got all of these off of buzz feed. I do not use all of these tips and tricks yet, but am going to soon. I find all of these very helpful with packing and going on trips.

So, the first hack is to get some plastic wrap and put it over anything that will open so that if it opens in your suitcase it won't spill all over the place.

The second hack is to get a binder clip and clip it over your razor so it won't cut anything up and it stays secure. Now, I didn't use all of these other hacks, but when I do they will definitely help and will just make life so much easier. So one of them is to put your shoes in a shower cap so that the dirt on your shoes wont get all over your clothes. The next one is, to keep your earring pairs together by putting them through a button and into a bag so they won't all get lost. Another one, which I did, is to roll up your clothes to save room in your suitcase. You could also use empty pill bottles to keep hair products and lotions in, or even Q-Tips as well. Also, if you have collared shirts and belts you are taking on your trip you can put your belts inside the collar in a circle to keep the collars nice and the belts from uncoiling. Next, you can put necklaces through a straw to keep them tangle-free. Lastly, you keep hot tools for hair in a potholder by just getting the potholder and wrapping it around the hot tool so that nothing in your suitcase gets burnt. Hope you enjoyed it! Have a great trip!! Talk to you guys soon, Jordan:)
