How to Pack a Carry-On for a 10-Day Trip

-

 Packing light for 10 days sounds impossible, right? I used to overpack like crazy. Then I learned a few tricks—and honestly, traveling with just a carry-on is liberating.

How to Pack a Carry-On for a 10-Day Trip

1. Pick the Right Bag

A good carry-on makes everything easier. I love one with wheels + a comfy handle. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself at the airport.

2. Plan Your Outfits

Think mix-and-match. I usually pick a color palette—like black, white, beige—and add a few statement pieces. 10 days, 7 tops, 3 bottoms—done.

3. Roll, Don’t Fold

Rolling saves space and reduces wrinkles. I roll everything—tees, dresses, even pants. Works like magic.

4. Limit Shoes

Shoes eat space fast. I bring 2-3 pairs max: comfy sneakers, cute flats, and maybe one dressy pair. I literally wore one pair for sightseeing the whole week—life-changing.

5. Use Packing Cubes

Cubes = sanity. Tops in one, bottoms in another, underwear + socks in a small cube. I can find everything in seconds.

6. Toiletries & Essentials

Travel-sized everything. I keep a small pouch for makeup, toothbrush, meds. No leaks, no spills—trust me, I’ve learned the hard way.

7. Layer Smart

Sweaters or jackets can double as pajamas or layering pieces. I once turned a cardigan into a blanket on a cold flight—so handy.

My Takeaway:
Packing a carry-on for 10 days is possible. Plan outfits, limit shoes, roll clothes, and use cubes. Honestly, traveling light feels amazing, and you won’t miss the extra baggage at all.

Let’s talk honestly, woman to woman. There are days—ugh, those days—when you catch your reflection and sigh. Your jeans feel tight, your energy’s low, and everything you try on just feels... wrong. The scale might not have budged, but your mood sure did. And somehow, the mirror knows. I’ve been there more times than I can count. Here’s what I’ve learned: feeling “off” in your body isn’t permanent. It’s not your size, not your worth, not even the real you. It’s a passing moment. But the right outfit? That can change your entire vibe in minutes. These are the exact go-to outfit ideas I reach for when I’m bloated, burned out, or just not feeling my best—but still want to look pulled together and feel like myself again . 1. 🖤 The “Everything Feels Tight” Outfit: Black-on-Black with Texture Black is magic. But the secret is texture —not just tossing on basic leggings and a tee. Try this combo: Flowy black palazzo pants Ribbed or wrap black top (something that defines your shape, gent...

Let’s talk honestly for a second. How many times have you bought a lip liner that looked amazing in the store… only to get home, try it on, and realize it either made you look washed out or like you’d drawn your lips with a crayon? Been there. Way too many times. The truth is, finding the right lip liner is a little like dating — you’re looking for one that just gets you . It needs to blend in , enhance , and stay through life’s ups and downs (okay, or at least your second coffee). Luckily, there are a few holy grail liners that do all of the above — no matter your skin tone, lipstick shade, or even if you’re going bare-faced. So let’s break it down. 💄 What Actually Makes a Lip Liner “Universal”? We throw that word around a lot, but here’s what I really mean when I say these go with everything: They mimic or gently boost your natural lip tone They’re neither too pink nor too brown — they sit right in the middle They’re smooth, not dry or draggy They stay put , even after...

10 Styling Rules That Changed How I Dress (And Feel) Let me be honest—there was a time when I thought fashion was just about copying the latest trends.
