It's holiday time but it\u2019s also time to pack your suitcases\u2026 which means a struggle to stay Zen without forgetting the essentials.<\/p>

For the trip, wear a light jacket<\/a> or a thicker one and your thick-soled wedges (pack your feather-weight flip-flops and sandals in your suitcase).<\/p>

Adopt the folding technique for clothes \"putting\u00a0one item inside another\" to gain some space.\u00a0 Forget the rolling technique, that won't give you more space contrary to what we all believe.<\/p>

Choose space-saving and multi-purpose products, such as a dry oil to spray on body, hair, face\u2026 Dig into your samples, offered during the year, or buy XS-sized products<\/a> (make-up remover, lotion, shower gels and shampoos from 20 to 50 ml).<\/p>

Remove packaging of all\u00a0\u00a0medicines<\/a> and surround them with their medication leaflets with an elastic band.<\/p>

Invest in a universal charger so as to not be overloaded by your high-tech stuff.<\/p>

Check if the hotel has a hairdryer before taking yours, even if it's small!<\/p>
