Take some inspiration from the current minimalism trend and make a conscious effort to pack less for your next big trip. You may be surprised to find that only bringing one carry-on is convenient, comfortable and more than enough space to fulfill your travel needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We&#8217;re\u00a0sharing our minimalist-inspired packing tips and tricks to ensure your travel checklist ticks every single box. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Go Small or Go Home<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it comes to minimalism, the smaller the better. Choose a carry-on suitcase as your primary travel bag to guarantee you won\u2019t pack more than you need. If your suitcase is small, you\u2019re less likely to over pack. Not to mention, having only a small bag in one hand and your phone in the other makes navigating a new destination a walk in the park.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Quality over Quantity<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Living the minimalist lifestyle is all about quality over quantity. When applying this concept to packing, the same rules apply. Choose items that are made from quality materials, are easily <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/10-ideas-for-upcycling-your-beauty-containers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reusable <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and lightweight. For example, if you\u2019re heading somewhere cold, pack a performance fabric instead of wool. It\u2019s lightweight and breathable enough to suit a range of weather conditions. Instead of packing a myriad of beauty products, narrow it down to ten <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/how-simplify-your-beauty-routine-while-traveling\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">beauty essentials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that can easily fit in your purse. The compact <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/luna-play-plus\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">LUNA play plus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is the perfect way to maintain your flawless skin while on vacation and it doesn\u2019t require a charger. #winning<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Bring Only Your \u2018Must-Haves\u2019 and Not Your \u2018What-Ifs\u2019<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Save the \u2018what if\u2019 items for home. If you\u2019re not traveling somewhere truly off-the-beaten path, you can always buy something on arrival if it\u2019s something you can\u2019t live without. Your ideal \u2018must-have\u2019 clothing should be durable, take up minimal space and work well for multiple occasions. You may have to sacrifice a few wardrobe changes, but heading to a laundromat is easier than lugging around a heavy suitcase full of clothes. Trust us!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Follow the 80\/20 Rule<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Believe it or not, humans only use 20% of our stuff 80% of the time. So when it comes to packing for a trip, keep that in mind. If you don\u2019t wear suede high heels at home, there\u2019s a slim chance you\u2019ll break them out on vacation either. Lay out everything you want to pack and then evaluate what fits into the 80\/20 rule in your everyday life. Ask yourself: do I normally use this? \u00a0If the answer is no, odds are you won\u2019t need it on your vacation either. That\u2019s right&#8230; leave your pearls\u00a0at home this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Happy packing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to packing, less is
