VACATIONS
On Instagram, travel guru Samantha Brown shared an easy way to deal with dirty clothes while you're on vacation, and it involves using vacuum seal bags.
The grime, sweat, and dead skin on your dirty clothes makes them heavier and harder to fit back into your suitcase. Vacuum seal bags can squish them down to almost nothing.
"Just keep it in [a vacuum seal bag] and throw this in your laundry bin and you will get to it when you can. Psychologically that just helps me deal," Brown explained.
Brown warned about getting too excited about all the sudden extra space, as compressed clothes weigh just the same. "Always want to be mindful of the weight," she cautioned.
She also added that you also don't want to do this trick on the way out, as it wrinkles your clothes. "It just leaves your clothes a hot mess," Brown said.
If you're traveling with family, bring at least two vacuum seal bags to sort the mess. "I will use one for lights and one for darks," Brown advised on Instagram.
