It is quite obvious that I love to travel.

In order to travel so often you must be organized and have a plan.

I am always ready to throw together a bag and hit the trail, road or flight because I have half of the work done and ready to go before the trip is ever planned. 

Tips:

Keep a cosmetics case always packed and replenished. Never use this for your home use. It should be full stocked with the same favorites and brands. Remember to have a hairbrush…I always forget that one.

Keep an emergency medicine kit stocked and ready. Have your MD give you all the possible things you may need like an antibiotic, anti-nausea, etc…

Pack you personals in a small pouch as well. I like to keep bras, underwear and socks in a separate lingerie bag. This makes for easy unpacking. 

Use a travel wallet especially for International travel. Do not bring all the credit cards you own! Bring only the essentials.  Before you go on a trip take and iPhone picture of you flight details, passport, insurance card and all credit cards ( front and back) you are taking. Even if you lost your wallet you have access to the info on your phone or laptop.  Email it to a friend as well just in case. 

I have a wonderful new brand that has helped in expediting this process, MB Greene. I am loving their coated canvas travel accessories to keep me organized.  

Look at the plethora of colors.

My personal favorites are the Vertical Essentials…

 

…and of course the Jewelry Clutch.

I have had loads of jewelry pouches over the years and this is my favorite. The plush velvet lining keeps the jewelry protected. There are loads of pouches and compartments for bracelets, earrings, rings and necklaces.

Here is mine all stocked up here in Palm Beach. 

 

All of that fits neatly in this pouch. 

Pop over to MB Greene to see much more and be sure to follow them on Instagram and Facebook too.
