Get Clever With the Favorites You Can't Leave Behind When it comes to items like perfume and nail polish, you're better off keeping glass out of your suitcase. If you're determined to bring your favorite fragrance, don't even try pouring it into a plastic bottle. Instead, go to a department store or Sephora and ask for a sample size of your scent. Most perfumes come in sample sizes and you can just ask the sales clerk for two.

As for nail polish, bring one bottle of the color that's on your nails when you leave and carry it on the flight instead of packing in your suitcase. You could also instead try nail polish strips that have no glass bottle.

I always tend to over-pack; this will make me think first. A bag or carrier with many compartments is definitely an essential!

I find I have gotten so used to travelling by car where I can have numerous bags and shoes etc, that when I recently tried to take a trip by train I had such difficulty paring it down as I alweays take at least 2x what I would need. I ended up purchasing a couple of excellent products one is a toiletry item from LL Bean, worth every penny as the quality is unsurpassed and I went for the deluxe one so I will have no regrets. Investing in proper items is important for your sanity, pocketbook etc as you want to enjoy your time away and protect your items etc. After geat frustration that is my advice!!!!
