5 Game-Changing Travel Hacks That Will Make Your Life Easier (3 of 3)

4. Store your jewelry in cling wrap to keep it from getting tangled up

The best way to keep your jewelry organized is by purchasing a travel jewelry case. But if you’re going on a trip at the last second or just don’t want to buy one, we have an alternative hack. Simply extend the chain of your jewelry and roll them up in cling wrap. It doesn’t take up much room in your bags and when you get to your hotel you aren’t wasting time trying to untangle your necklace.

5. Bring a zippered pillowcase to free up luggage space

Here’s something we can all relate to: while off in Rome you decide to buy a keepsake or twelve. You’ve got friends back home who want souvenirs too, after all. But the problem is, how are you going to fit all of that stuff in your luggage bag? Well, if you bring along a zippered pillowcase, that completely solves that dilemma. See, most airlines count pillows as a carry-on item. So if you’re worried about your check-in bag being overweight, just stick some of your things into the pillowcase. Just make sure it is still able to fit under the seat in front of you, otherwise it will have to be checked in and that will entirely defeat its purpose.
