How do you pack for a trip in a carryon?

Haha, nottelling - I personally love to come back with fewer things than what I left with! This is also the time to do things like use up little perfume samples, older makeup, a toothbrush that is worn … It’s just me but I get a lot of satisfaction from dumping all that stuff!

I actually put on a certain dress the other day, looked in the mirror and said - nope, this isn’t flattering. I seriously considered adding it to my bag from France, wearing it there on my touring days to get final use out of it, and dumping it! I have a client who shares this same predilection and we have light-hearted contests as to who can come home with the least.

My absolute best was a family trip to a lodge in Minnesota, where I wore nothing but really old, yucky clothing (since it was all going to get filthy anyway) and returned home with just the clothing I wore.

But I’m a major declutterer / minimalist type in general.
