Packing!
I love to travel, but I hate to pack!
One
of my biggest dreams in life would be to have a Mary Poppins purse. Which could
be universally connected to my bedroom/closet and house. Where I can just grab
what I need, when I need it. All this having to figure out what I'm going to
take, what I'm going to wear the next couple weeks, and am I going to repeat
outfits. What jewelry, make-up, bags and shoes go with the outfits? It’s just
so complicated. Maybe some people don't have to worry about this if they don't
care. But I'm pretty sure most people care.
Yes
it's easier being a man. Well the ones that don't care anyways. They don't have
to worry about shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, facemask, body lotion, face
lotion, primer, cover-up, and the entire make up essentials. I don't want to
sit here writing a whole list of what I'm going to take, you get the point.
It’s ridiculous how many things we need. I mean a quick trip to Vegas; you
probably don't need the essentials because most hotels cover shampoo,
conditioner and soap. Still for women we use certain shampoos and conditioners,
you know it just doesn't make sense to not take them. Even if you're on
vacation you do want to look good.
(Sorry had to share! )
As
I sit here rummaging through my stuff, my room looking like a disaster, my
suitcase looks like a tornado hit it. I contemplate sometimes not going on my
journeys. Having spent money on a ticket, with a deadline makes you have to
pack. Usually I'm pretty good about not taking things I don't need, but sometimes
there are those trips that you are just stumped.
This
trip that I'm going on is a long journey, I'm going to be gone for months. Therefore
I need to take more than I normally would. Typically I’ve gone with people and
so we could watch each other stuff take breaks and etc. However this time I'm
going alone so there's no one but me to carry my luggage, to have to watch my stuff.
Basically I need to pack light, but that's so hard for a trip that's more than
a month. I mean I can't just take a mini travel shampoo; I need to take a whole
freaking big shampoo same with toothpaste and all the other stuff.
I
will be staying at people’s houses so something’s will be easier. I can do
laundry, but wearing the same clothes for so long is going to get complicated. Especially
being such a fashionista. Make-up on the other hand is a little bit easier, just
cutting it down to the necessitates. Still that's a lot for me, most girls that
wear make-up on a daily basis consists of; cover-up, eyeliner, mascara, some
kind of lip color, eye shadow, bronzer, blush, highlight, make-up brushes, make
up wipes and more. It’s going to be a challenge and while I sit in my mess and
contemplate everything, I haven't even thought about my shoes fitting into the
luggage. Keep in mind I still need to take my laptop camera all those
electronics. Help me!!! Just kidding! It all works out somehow, it always does.
Talk to you all soon, my fashionistas!
