Pack like a Minimalist – Weekend Away

It felt like these days would never com again. We are finally able to move around and get away on mini vacations. I have booked a summer holiday to Corfu in the summer, but first up is a weekend away for a hen do. This means I need to pack. I used to be the girl that would pack absolutely everything, even the kitchen sink. And this is the first time, since decluttering and becoming minimal that I have packed a suitcase for a trip.

First, it’s important to know what your essentials are. This isn’t necessarily going to be the same for everyone, so tailor this to your requirements.

Essentials:

1. Toothbrush/toothpaste (Obvs)
2. Shampoo/conditioner (I would only take this if going for more than a weekend as I can wash my hair before I go and it will last me 3 days)
3. Body wash (I still shower daily)
4. Hair dryer/straighteners (as I am not washing my hair I will only take straighteners to tidy it up)
5. Clothing needed: spare casual top x 2, swimwear x 1, dress x 1 for night out, shoes/boots x 1 for night out, underwear x 3, socks x 2, coat x 1
6. Phone/phone charger
7. Paracetamol (just in case)
8. Antiperspirant
9. Contact lenses/solution/glasses
10. Makeup (core makeup only)

I’ve had many occasions in the past where I have forgotten important items, so this is definitely a time that I would create a list. It’s going to be a busy weekend, so I am not anticipating much time for reading, etc.
