Packing for weekend trip

So I am packed! Where? For my next weekend trip - going to Niagara Falls tommorow. From time to time I need a little break. Just turn off and go away. Free weekend + trip is the best regeneration for my body and soul. All year I dream that I will go see Niagara Falls, but until now it will happen. 

I planned everything carefully with my friends, but I left packing at the last minute. Why? I worked. Fortunately my monhtly trips trained me and I´m a packing professional now. Today I can pack my stuff in a few seconds :-) Yes, sometimes I forget something, but I always have more underwear than I need. :-) For those who are not packing professionals yet, as I do, I created a "packing checklist". I hope it will help you :-) 

PS: you can modify each item and quantity for your needs. I´m sure you won´t need dress for hiking :-) 

CLOTHING

Clothes packing I learned from ex-boyfriend. He´s an athlete - a pretty good athlete. Whennever he went for race he began to pack things from underwear and added thinds as he needed. I think his method works well. 

• take more underwear and socks, because you never know what might happen (days + 2)
• bra - should matches with tops :-)
• 2 tops 
• 2 bottoms - I recommend pants and shorts / skirts
• 1 sweatshirt 
• 1 jacket - depends on weather
• 1 dress - you may go out for party
• swimsuit
• pj´s 
• comfortable walking shoes 
• sandals or shoes matching with dress
• backpack / handbag - prefer both

COSMETICS

Cosmetics can take enough space in your bag, so think well about what you really need for weekend  :-)

• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• crest
• shampoo, conditioner and shower gel (buy small packs)
• face cream
• deodorant
• perfume
• drugs
• just in case pack also razor, makeup remover or tampons

ENTERTAINMENT

I'm not saying these things are really important, but I recommend them :-)

• phone
• camera
• ipad / laptop (depends where I'm going)
• chargers for all electronics
• magazine, book
• headphones
• snack
• wallet and documents

Whatever the reason of your journey is, pack everything in advance, you avoid the stress and you will enjoy the last moments before departure :-)
