It’s about that time when I take a big trip! And I’m going to do it like a pro, thanks to Cottonelle Clean Care Box!
If you’re anything like me you’ve been packing all wrong! I used to just throw my whole closet and bathroom into my luggage just in case I wanted something while I was away. What a bad idea! I am here to bring you some tips and trick on packing your luggage and carry-on with Cottonelle Clean Care Box!
One of my life goals is to see everywhere in the world, at least once. While I’ve been to Mexico before, I’ve never seen Playa Del Carmen! So I am beyond excited to get one step (place) closer to my life goal. Now let’s jump in:
Don’t Procrastinate!
Don’t wait until the night before to pack your bags. You’ll be stressing and who wants to stress right before vacation?! Start about 3-4 days before you leave. Do all the laundry and set aside what you need to wear for those few days and get to packing the rest!
You’ll be thankful you did!
Have a Plan
What’s the weather going to be? What events are planned during your vacation? Formal dinners or casual beach wear every day? I am going to have tons of semi-formal dinners and beach days.
You will want to think about your carry-on here too. Are you going straight to your hotel? What do you need in your carry-on? Bathing Suit? Cottonelle Wipes? Quick Essentials from the Cottonelle Clean Care Box?
Lay Your Outfits Out
Lay your outfits out so you can see that you are packing the correct clothes for the time you’ll be there. I used to just throw everything I though I might wear while I was on vacation and end up with my entire closet in my luggage. That is a horrible technique! Most of the time I was unsatisfied with what I was wearing on vacation and came home with half the clothes untouched.
Travel light.
You can fit everything in one luggage (or even your carry-on like me) ! Once you laid all your outfits out you can see what you have. Try to have items you can mix and match making more than one outfit with a single item!
Essentials in your carry-on
I will be arriving in Mexico at 9 AM and my room won’t be ready until 3PM! So it’s important for me to have essentials in my carry-on in order to enjoy my time until I get a room. The Clean Care box makes packing your essentials super easy! You will get a super soft Delicate Sponge by The Bathery, Kleenex Facial Cleansing Wipes, Skin Fix lip balm and lotion, tissues, Cottonelle Toilet paper and Cottonelle Wipes. Let’s be real, these are ESSENTIALS for traveling.
From the plane ride to the wait for my room and more – my Cottonelle Clean Care box has my back!
Let’s be real. Planes, airports and resorts don’t necessarily carry the high end toilet paper that your bum needs! The Clean Care box comes with a thick roll of Cottonelle Clean Care bath tissue. It’s super thick, so you need less, and it’s equipped with a CleanRipple texture to make sure you stay extra clean! Don’t be ashamed! If you’re traveling like me, put it in your makeup bag! No one will ever know!
Mexico is HOT HOT HOT. So pack your Kleenex facial wipes to wipe away the dirty sweaty mess while you wait for your room. Quick and easy way to feel refreshed while you do a little exploring of your destination. It’s infused with a pro-vitamin complex which leaves your skin feeling extra refreshed, moist and clean! Facial wipes are actually a staple in my makeup removal routine, so I think I’m making the switch to these!
The Clean Care box makes packing my carry-on super easy too because all you have to do is order it online at Target.com and have it shipped to your house for only $5! You know i love anything I can get online!
6. Roll it up !
You see this all over Pinterest. Instead of folding your clothes and laying them in your luggage, roll it up! Not only does it make so much more room it also helps with avoiding wrinkled clothes! Less ironing and more vacationing!
Try putting 3 or 4 shirts on top of each other, fold them in half and roll them up. This way a major key for me. I didn’t have to pay to board my luggage because I fit 4 days of clothes and shoes into a carry on!
I hope these tips help!

I totally agree with rolling things up, as opposed to folding! Definitely gives you more space in your bag. Great tips, Tiffany!
