A Bag That is Designed for Hitting the Road

WHEN HITTING THE ROAD IS ON THE CALENDAR

Do you love traveling? Hitting the road for me is a BIG EVENT! I love weekends away in the city (NYC and Chicago are favs). There are also the trips of my dreams that I hope to experience one day. The European countryside is on my bucket list. I’m sure you have your own list of places you love to go too!

Traveling, however, can be stressful. Packing everything together in one or two suitcases can freak out the OCD organizer who lives inside many of us. Here’s some help!

feeling cramped?

You all know that I LOVE a cute zipper pouch and I always will. That said, sometimes I feel like I need more access to the goodies inside, especially when I’m not at home. I don’t want to take more time than necessary getting ready. These are the days when I need life to open up for me.

To address these frustrations, I’ve designed a double zip Dopp kit. It has all the access you’ll ever need for opening up and accessing your cosmetics and toiletries.

As an added structural feature, there’s a removable water-resistant “box” on the inside. It was an after-the-fact addition. With softer sides, the bag was a little bit hard to zip and unzip. Now there are firm sides with a vinyl lining that makes it easier for opening up.

How do you open up?

Admittedly, this is a very “boxy” cosmetics bag. So it might not be right for your everyday use. What I do want to point out, is that with the packable trend for suitcase organization, this is a perfect solution to keeping organized when on the road.

Frankly, I love being able to see everything I’ve brought with me. I don’t have to empty out the entire contents on a hotel bathroom counter just to find one item. I can look and THERE IT IS!! Voila!!

If this is a bag you would like to order, please send me an email.
A double zipper Dopp Kit similar to this will cost approximately $90.

Do you want some other ideas that will keep you organized on the road? I’ve found a few that I think are great right on Amazon:

Do you have any other packing hacks that I could use to inspire future designs? Please comment and let all of us know!

Stay healthy and live well! XOXO, Ali.

It’s time to heal, forgive, and strengthen our most important bonds.
