Travel ritual: my luggage organisers

my packing cubes and quilted bags
packing cubes and quilted makeup bags

The journey is inevitable. Baggage- optional

I love containers and storage, so I love travel organiser bags and also small bags of all kinds: packing cubes, pencil cases, pouch, vanity case...

Travel organisers

  • grey packing cubes
  • 4-Piece Set
  • medium cube dimensions: 35 x 25 x 8cm
  • double zipper pulls make opening/closing simple and fast
  • mesh top panel for easy identification of contents, and ventilation
  • webbing handle for convenience when carried by itself
=> this size is great easy to use, to see what’s in them, and a great fit in my suitcases. There are smaller and bigger but the large one is too big and the small one too small.

In each packing cube,

I roll clothes up to create extra space.  It's is more effective and a great way to save luggage space.

I collect clothes into the same category and store them all in the same bag:
  • white cotton vests, underwear*, sanitary pads, nightdress => in a quilted makeup bag
  • blouses, tunics
  • capri pants: white, beige, kaki
  • sundresses, swimsuits, face towel, scarf, formal dress
  • cap or hat (depending on destination and length of stay)
  • shoes in shoe bags (or in biodegrable plastic bags): comfortable sandals, flip flops for hotel and beach
* I consider socks/knee-highs to be a part of underwea

Sautéed potatoes, Grandma's way

Image
If you don't like potatoes, you cannot be trusted I love starchy food , cereal grains and some root vegetables.  I love potato : air fryer or oven chips, baked, Dauphinoise, curry, mash, roasted, salad,... and of course sautéed, very easy and simple. Potatoes, one of the most versatile vegetables, provide essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins (vitamin C, B6...), and minerals (potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium...). Ingredients 1 tbsp grapeseed or rapseed oil * 2 potatoes, cut into rings each, about 5 mm salt, pepper 1 garlic clove, minced herbs, finely chopped (chives, or parsley or thyme) Preparation Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they begin to brown.  The edges are crispy. Then add pepper, parsley, and stir for a few seconds. *  I'm going to stop using olive oil : first, it is more and more expensive and above all,  olive oil scams  are proliferating if it is not...

Art was an additional emotion applied to skillful technique - Charlie Chaplin The eternal feminine beauty Golden Tears , also known as Freya's Tears' , a famous oil painting with gold leaf, is often attributed to Gustav Klimt but was actually painted by French artist Anne-Marie Zilberman who was influenced by his work.
