If you’ve got the travel bug but no travel plans, use some time to declutter your travel accessories!

If you have any toiletry containers that are old or broken, or if you have any make-up bags that have seen better days, toss ’em!

If you have any old packing cubes that you use to organize your suitcases, but maybe the zipper isn’t working that well anymore, or maybe they have been stuffed one too many times – get rid of them!

If you have old luggage that just can’t take the tolls of travel anymore, it’s time to say goodbye!

These things can start to take up so much space in your home because you really don’t need them on a day to day basis!

They literally just sit in your house and wait to be used!

There is nothing worse than planning a trip, pulling out the suitcase a week before you leave, and then finding it less than capable of lasting the whole trip! Don’t forget to also check on the actual luggage tag! Make sure any info on there is still clearly readable!

While you’re thinking of travel, you can also go through any travel books you have collected over the years. There’s a good chance that at least some of the information is outdated now! It’s so easy to do some reading from the internet while planning or after booking your trip – there’s no need for most of those travel books!

You can also take advantage of the category and pair down on other bags or day travel accessories! Think of your reusable grocery bags, old purses or wallets, gym bags, backpacks, and any other bags you may have stashed away!

I give fair warning, though. All of this work just might make you wanna go off to some far-off land for at least a short vacation!

Thanks for coming home!
