Long Weekend Travel Essentials and Tips

I am going to Connecticut this upcoming long weekend, Martin Luther King Weekend!  Packing for a three night stay can sometimes be a struggle because you're there for such a short time, what do you really need?  I also always forget something, so I made a checklist for basic travel items that are commonly forgotten and are total necessities.

Moisturizer
*Pajamas
Makeup Bag + Remover Wipes
Straightener
Deodorant
*Hair Elastics
*Toothbrush and Toothpaste
Shampoo and Conditioner
Comfy Sweatshirt
Sweatpants
Laptop

I devote one bag to makeup, one for hair elastics/headbands/other hair stuff, and one for jewelry.

 Bringing my new favorite pajama set from Nordstrom, the shirt is long sleeved and go with some fuzzy shorts.

When I travel for a weekend I find it best to bring a big duffle bag.  The ones given out by Victoria's secret for free when you spend around $75 (something like that) are great for short getaways and always seem to be the right size.

Hope this helped and you don't forget anything if you're going away this weekend!
