Packing Cubes are Life. I do a lot of weekend getaways so I know how to pack a carry-on. It’s my talent. Do I wish it was singing or dancing, yes I do, but I work with God gave me. Ok! so, let’s talk about one of my favourite subjects and a little something that deserves its own spotlight:
Packing Cubes – never. travel. without. Here are some of my top tips:
Pack by outfit. Every cube has an outfit neatly stacked within it – the entire outfit including undergarments. Larger the cube the more outfits stacked inside, but keep them together. Get to the hotel put the cubes in the drawers – sanitary and oh so pretty and a word you’ll hear often from me – organized (cue the angels singing).
When it’s time to go home I repack the cubes by laundry sorting rules. Whites in one, darks in another etc. I always, always do laundry the second I arrive home – trust, do it. I can almost hear your excuses – be like Nike and….you know the rest.
Speaking of cleanliness – you can just wipe cubes down as most of them have a plasticy (word?) fabric.
Other uses of my beloved cubes? Computer cords (hate), accessories, hair styling tools, and shoes to ensure the soles are making everything else dirty.
Aestetics and Design – they look pretty. Tons of colour and patterns, but I’m on the hunt for teal or rose gold.
Trust – buy them, try them.
