Thereâs an ancient saying that when you travel you should bring half as much as you need but double the amount of money you bring. After traveling around the world twice, I couldnât agree with that statement more. Itâs very important to pack light on your trip. Packing light helps you avoid fees on airlines, saves space, and gives you less goods to carry, and allows you more freedom.
It is often said that the stuff we own, ends up owning us. When we travel, we plan for everything. We typically take lots of clothes and stuff because we feel that you never know what might occur. So we go on a two week holiday with a suitcase filled with half our wardrobe. However, the trick to travel is to pack light. We often go on an adventure and only end up using half of what we packed, regretting we packed so much in the first place.
When I travel, all of my belongings fit into a tiny daypack and a larger backpack or duffel bag. I have traveled for over a year without needing anything more. In fact, I often find I still take too much!! When friends come and visit me, I am amazed that they took so much stuff. They ask me my secret to packing light. Iâll tell you what I tell them.
Hereâs how I pack light and how you can too:
First, create a list of everything you think you might need. Everything and anything. From clothes, to toiletries, to electronics, to jackets, and everything in between. This packing list will usually ends up very long. But thatâs ok, weâll get it down rapidly.
Next, look at your list and think about it in relation to your trip. If you are going to the islands, do you really need pants or jeans? If you are going to Paris in July, do you really need to pack long sleeve shirts?
Next, you should have trimmed your packing list down a bit by eliminating those items that donât really have anything to do with your trip.
Now, letâs take a look at your toiletry list. Why are you taking so much? In this age of worry, people tend to pack every medicine known to man just in case. Letâs be real- do you ever use any them? Canât you buy them there? So go minimal. If you do get sick, you can always by Tylenol or diarrhea medicine there. Take only the bare essentials. A few pills that take up only a little space- you donât need the whole box.
What about the non-medical supplies your packing? Soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, razor, and shaving cream is all you need. If you are staying at a b &b, you donât even need soap or shampoo since it is given to you. Youâre going on vacation not to a corporate function so ditch the cosmetics and facial products.
Now, look at your packing list. What can you buy there if you really need it? Probably lots. Toss the bug spray, the suntan lotion, and whatever else you are taking. You canât take it on the plane anyways.
Ok, last step on the road to packing light. Weâve probably cut out a lot of your list now. The final step is to just excise out another half. You are holiday, relaxing. Clothes donât get that dirty and you can wear the same shorts a few days in a row. Ditch the towel- just borrow the one from the hotel. Take half as many clothes. Wear a few longer or donât wear any! You never wear everything you take and unless spill something or sweat through your shirt, you can use it for more than one day.
Thatâs it. That is the trick to packing light. Cutting, cutting, and cutting until you get to the important items you need to pack. If you follow this opinion, I guarantee you will pack light and make this whole packing process much easier.

These facial packs contain many healthful and beneficial substances and necessary vitamins that are necessary to keep your face skin glowing. These facial packs foster skin by improving its color and by cleaning and reducing interstice. Facial packs improve the blood circulation within the veins of the face. These facial packs are easy to use and you can take care of your face and neck well, at home.
The effect of any facial pack on face is only temporary, so it is a must to use face pack 2 to 3 time in a week time. A mix of face pack is needed to be prepared, just before it is required to use. A face pack is applicable only on clean skin and that too without any cosmetics on skin. Before applying facial you will need to take steam bath with chamomile, lime, sage, and peppermint.
If you have dry skin, take 5 to 10 minutes steam bath, atleast once in every two months.If you have oily skin, take steam bath about 15 minutes atleast twice in a month.
You can replace steam bath by warm compresses. In warm compress, a bath towel is moistened with extracts of different herbs and flowers. Then this moist towel is pushed on the face and neck gently and kept in contact until it turns cold.
There is a need of different face packs for different type of skins. If you have dry skin, use the extract of mint, petals of rose, jasmine, chamomile, lime, leaves of raspberry, strawberry and black current.
If you are dry skinned, your face pack will be; a mix of nettle, plantain, coltsfoot, calendula, aloe, St. John’s wart, eucalyptus, birch buds and milfoil.
No matter, what type of skin you have, you will need to apply the pack in the whole face and neck bottom up. Do not apply the face pack around your eyelids. After applying the face pack lie down and allow the pack to set for about 15 to 20 minutes. Use only low-neck pillow, so that your face do not elevate too much.
To remove the face pack, especially off fat skin, soften the water with boric acid and use lemon juice to acidify it. You also can use juices of orange, cranberries or red current etc for acidification. Take wads of cotton, dip it into acidified water and then use it to remove your face pack. If you have normal skin type, you can use herbal extracts, tea, milk, etc to remove your face pack.
You are strongly advised to not overdone your face pack, especially when it turns into a solid pellicle. Do not put face pack on your face for more than 15 to 20 minutes, otherwise it will cause strain and tiredness.
Use of face packs varies according to climate, skin type and age also. Face packs may be of different type, for example; face pack made of fruits or sour cream and cream etc.
No matter what type of face you have, the use of face pack will make your face skin shiny and glowing.
