PACKING MISTAKES I MADE WHILE TRAVELLING ✈️❌

1. Underestimating the weather: I have done this 2 trips in a row and this is one of the things i regret instantly at the moment of arrival 💀 While you're in Malaysia, 15 degrees celcius may seem bearable to you and you might think a “stylish” light jacket may be enough but TRUST ME, it's not! Bring that thick jacke and bring those heat-tech clothes. It will be worth it!

2. OVER-packing: Guys, this is a mistake that i will NEVER EVER repeat again. Usually, if i travel somewhere for 10 days, i will bring 10 clothes. THIS IS A MISTAKE! Especially in cold countries, your clothes don't get dirty easily and they don't smell easily too. In cool weather you don't sweat much. If you wear your clothes once, there is a high chance for it to still smell like it is fresh out of the laundry after one-use.

3. COLOURFUL-PRINTED CLOTHES: This tip somewhat relates to the 2nd tip. I will definitely choose to bring NEUTRAL coloured clothes after this. Bring 4-5 neutral coloured basics and mix and match with different coats. Not only neutrals make you look classy, it wont look so obvious if you rewear them for a few days.

4. LIQUID PUMPS: Okay, so in the recent trip, i made the mistake of bringing an oil cleanser because i thought it would be an “easy method” to remove my makeup. Oil cleansers are great but what's not great is that if it came with a “pump” bottle. Omg, it will just spill everywhere in your luggage even if you put it in a plastic + you will end up wasting almost half of the bottle because it already “pumped” in your luggage repeatedly 😅 I would opt for a Cleansing Balm on the next trip.

5. SHOULDER BAGS: During the recent trip, i brought along a shoulder bag, because its classic and it would go with all of my outfits. Good news; it did, Bad news; IT WAS VERY UNPRACTICAL. When you walk around, you want to take pictures, you want to be HANDS FREE. With a shoulder bag, there's this stress of keeping it on your shoulder and it keeps falling over. Also, you want to be aware of pick pockets. With your bad on your side, you may not be aware of it compared to if your bag is crossbody and put to the front. So, CROSSBODY BAGS > SHOULDER BAGS okay?

Those are my tips girlypops. Do keep this in mind for your next trip okay? Its better to be comfortable rather than aesthetic for a picture okay! Talk to you soon lovelies 💞
