Mum reveals how she packs for a three-night holiday abroad with just a tote bag
A WOMAN has revealed how she can pack enough stuff for a three-day holiday in only a tote bag.

In a post on Instagram, Hannah explained why she took her tote bag and how she managed to fit everything in.

“I packed an oversized tee as pyjamas.
“And then a small pouch for dry/powder make-up as well as sunglasses and my toothbrush, as well as liquids (which I transferred into a plastic bag at the airport).
“Then two long sleeve tops to act as thermal layers. as well as a hairbrush, a book and my electronics.
“I put my laptop in my friend’s suitcase and just brought one jacket and jumper with me, which I wore on the plane.

One wrote: “I am so impressed! I could fill one of those bags for a trip out for a few hours.

Another said: “Wow, that’s impressive!
“My motto is ‘I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it!’ Which ultimately means I always overpack.”
