A Woman Packs For A Week (Monica Ricci)

Monica Ricci, professional organizer, shows how the other sex does it. This is a good comparison to the last post - Tim Ferris packing for a trip to Maui - because it is for a week also, but her trip includes business and pleasure, so I think that is a bit tougher. Here is an example of her minimalist packing aptitude.

Your Life. Organized. : Tips for Packing Light: "I left Atlanta on Sunday and I come home next Sunday so I'm out of town for a full week with only a carry-on bag and my purse. (LOVE this thing!) My seatmate on the plane thought it was amazing that I hadn't checked a bag, so I thought I'd share a few tips for packing light...
This is what was in my rolling carry-on bag. There's the large Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder which holds all my clothes (except the jeans, t-shirt and sandals I was wearing when I took the photo), the three smaller Eagle Creek zipper pouches which hold my underwear, my non-liquid toiletries, and my cords and chargers.

Next to those you can see my little blue cosmetics case and my regulation quart-size Ziploc bag of liquid and gel toiletries, my orange pashmina wrap and baseball hat. Below those, there's my curling iron and two pairs of shoes. Look closely and you'll see my sneakers are stuffed with socks and a sports bra."

Plus, she added in her laptop and cooling mat. Follow the link to more pics and tips on this packing post.

Great job. A week with only a carry-on roller bad and a purse - and she's a woman!
