Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 28, 2016August 28, 2016Leave a Comment

Traveling is fun its the packing that sucks. We obsess over every detail and every look. Do I have enough shoes? Are there equal amounts of day and nighttime wear? My god please tell me I packed enough undies! With Shelfpack all of those worries can be reduced. Shelfpack is reinventing the art of packing.

Okay so what is so great about this piece of luggage. It looks like any other bag on the market. That is until you open it up. The Shelfpack does exactly as it sounds. It comes complete with shelves. It is the portable closet you’ve always dreamed of having!

After unzipping you simply pull up two supports and follow with the shelves. The shelving secures itself at the top of the supports. This drastically cuts down on messy packaging and allows an user to be more organized. Want to see the Shelfpack in action? Check out this short video which gives a few more details along with the demonstration.

Specs and Worries

We always like bad news first so lets get any worries out the way. This innovative piece of luggage weighs 14.5 pounds. Any traveler knows that on a plane weight counts! Weight equals more money. Therefore, definitely something to keep in mind.

Also, although the video shows an easy transition of the shelves into place it doesn’t show the return of everything back into its original form. Nevertheless, there does seem to be an ease to assembling the Shelfpack so maybe it is all about practice.

One thing we also liked is that this product comes complete with a Lifetime Warranty. Warranties always help to calm the mind when making a purchase. This product is very out of the box so its nice to know you are covered just in case.

“I’m on the road more than I’m home and I’ve found this suitcase to be a life saver. No more digging to find things. No more wrinkled beyond recognition gowns. Everything fits PERFECT and I can even leave staple items on their shelves and I’m ready for the next adventure. I get so many questions about my bag and I am happy to show how it works! What an AWESOME invention for people like me! Thank you!”

Whether you’re traveling abroad to Paris, spending spring break on South Padre Island, Texas or taking a summer road trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, it is important to keep safe and aware of your surroundings at all times.

By following just a few, small travel tips and keeping a few things in mind, you can ensure that your vacation goes smoothly and that you have a great time.

Knowing your limits

Hangovers are not the only thing you need to worry about when partying; binge drinking can lead to black-outs, alcohol poisoning and even worse – death. Most importantly though, alcohol clouds your judgment severely and makes bad situations and decisions look alright.

Try to monitor your alcohol consumption and the alcohol consumption of those traveling with you.

Tis’ the season of travel and je-tsetter Rihanna is no different. The B*tch Better Have My Money starlet was seen walking through LAX airport in Los Angeles, California yesterday on June 14, 2o15. RiRi wore camouflage pants, graphic tee, an over-sized leather jacket as well as bag with a hat and shades. It is rumored that Rihanna was headed out of town after enjoying a dinner date with Karim Benzema.

Hair Notes: It looks like Rihanna is still enjoying being a redhead, a hair look that popped back up around Coachella. Nonetheless, if you are planning to travel quite a distance by plane a hat is an excellent accessory to help “tame the beast” so to speak. No matter how you sleep or rest your tired pretty little head you will not have to worry if your hair looks alright allowing you to travel with less stress.
