Going away on holiday can be stressful enough, the travel, the money, getting the timings of everything right. The last thing you want is stress around packing for your holiday too! Holidays are supposed to be fun and stress free. Which is why I have some essential tips for stress free holiday packing!

PACK EVERYTHING NON ESSENTIAL WEEKS BEFORE

It sounds like a no brainer but honestly, packing all non essential clothing weeks before really does help reduce stress the days before you go away. Packing non essentials like hair dryers, swim suits and other pieces of clothing you know you won’t wear before you go.

Adding clothing and other items slowly to your suitcase before your departure date can help stop the stress of doing everything last minute and the panic that you may have forgotten something!

CREATE YOURSELF A PRIORITIES LIST

Priority lists come in handy during day to day life, so why not use them when it comes to packing!

Make yourself a list of what’s non negotiable and what’s not that important for you take away with you. So many people over pack and bring clothing for every single scenario. Although sometimes thats necessary, there’s usually always a place you can buy things if they’re that important!

Create your priority list and if its not that important, consider not taking it with you at all!

LOOK THROUGH YOUR OLD SUMMER WARDROBE

Part of the stress of going on vacation is finding new outfits and new clothing. One thing that reduces that stress is going through old summer clothing and seeing if it’s any good for this year. 9 times out of 10 the clothing is fine and can be worn over and over!

Try looking through your old skiing clothing or old curve clothing collections and see what you can salvage for this year. Not only does it save money It reduces any unnecessary stress to your holiday!

How do you pack for your holiday? What do you do to reduce stress?
