Some of the stuff on here left us wondering why on earth we hadn't thought of it before?!

So here they are, the 12 travel tips that will make you feel smart.

View original article here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/hiex/13-travel-tips-that-will-make-you-feel-smart

1) Rolled Clothes Take Up Less Space Than Folded Clothes

This was one of the only ones we have tried before, and it totally WORKS folks!

2) Put Your Phone In A Cup For Instant Speakers

Party in your holiday apartment kitchen anyone?!

3) To Avoid Jet Lag, Do Plenty Of Exercise The Day Before You Travel

And once you land, get lots of fresh air for a quick Pick-Me-Up!

4) To Avoid Tangling, Thread A Straw With Your Delicate Necklaces

Then you have a tangle free Necklace AND a Straw! SCORE!!

5) Most Airplanes Have A Little Hook At Your Seat. AMAZING!

Perfect For A Small Bag Or Coat. What’s Next…A Tray. Wait. That’s A TRAY!?!?

6) Pack Your Dirty Shoes In A Shower Cap

Ain’t Nobody Got Time For Dirty Shoes!!!

7) Pack A Lightweight Scarf For Chilly Planes

You can use it as a little blanket or a pillow, and once you arrive at your destination, you have the perfect accessory to change up your outfits!

8) Contact Containers Are Great For Storing Cosmetics

Perfect for touch-ups before you get off the plane!

9) Stash Extra Cash In Empty Lip Balm

You’ve Already Filled Your Contact Case With Lip Balm, So Keeping Money In The Empty Lip Balm Only Makes Sense.

10) Use A Button To Keep Your Earrings Together

And you have a spare button in case you lose one whilst your away!

11) Always Make Left Turns In The Security Lines To Get Through More Quickly.

Science proves it works!

13) Transport Wine In Your Shoes

This is our favourite tip! Obviously this is for checked luggage, but… you never really know when you will need a bottle of wine, right?!

Well, there you have it. Like we said, we stole this list from the original, which you can check out from the reference link below...

Top 5 Christmas Holiday travel tips!

Traveling over the Christmas holidays can be particularly busy, expensive and stressful, but it isn't all bad. There are still ways to make life easier if you plan ahead. Check out top 5 tips for Christmas holiday travel and find some calm within the chaos this holiday season.

1. Avoid peak travel dates.

As a rule, the two days prior to Christmas should be avoided for travel. Traveling on Christmas day is often a lot less busier and more affordable; there are often low rate airfare deals on Christmas day.

Sydney Airport says January 2 and 3 will be their busiest days at the airport this year, as many people will be returning home. If you're travelling on or around those days, plan to get to the airport long before your flight and prepare yourself for long lines.

The bottom line: Travel off-peak whenever possible and if travelling in peak times, leave early in anticipation of delays.

2. Cover yourself.

Most Australians don't take out travel insurance for domestic trips; some don't even do it for international trips. If ever there was a time to take out insurance, the peak holiday season is it, especially if you're carrying expensive gifts.

3. Pack wisely.

It can be super hard to pack light at Christmas but it can make life easier, as well as helping you avoid excess-baggage charges. Airlines tend to have little Christmas spirit when it comes to overweight bags!

If you're carrying Christmas gifts, try not to wrap them, as it’s Murphy’s Law that airline security personnel will need to unwrap them for inspection. Gift bags can be a suitable alternative to wrapping paper – then you can easily remove the items from their bags if required and you don't have to do a last-minute wrapping job at your destination.

Also, don't put presents in your checked-in luggage unless you absolutely have to. Christmas is the busiest time of year for air travel, meaning a greater chance of luggage going astray, so make the most of your 7kg carry-on allowance.

Check out The Carry-On Challenge: How to Pack Light Every Time with tips on how to best utilize your Carry-On.

4. Prepare entertainment.

If you're flying, get yourself a good book to read so you can turn waiting time into relaxation time. Accepting that things are going to take longer than normal means you can use the time to entertain yourself.

If you're driving, downloading some podcasts or new music before you leave can make a big difference. If you're going on a long drive with children in the car, a cheap, portable DVD player may help bring peace.

5. Don't forget your Christmas spirit

If there's one guarantee about the summer holiday travel season, it's that there will be spectacular tantrums in the airport and on the roads - and we're not just talking about children.

It helps to remember that everyone else is trying to get to their holiday destination as well. Remember that Christmas is supposed to be about peace and happiness, so try everything that you can to ensure you are not sending out negative vibes to those travelling around you.

New marketing campaign video is out for Glenelg. Interesting... I'm a bit confused by the "seaview" section with half the shot focused on a woman's chest, but other than that, its not too bad. ... What do you guys think??

Scrub off your skates, Glenelg to become a Winter Wonderland!

Being that I used to figure skate as a young child, I am particularly excited by the news that Glenelg will host an ice rink in Moseley Square next June as part of their plan to hold a Winter Wonderland Festival!

Personally I enjoy winter by the beach - the stormy oceans, the rain scattered sand... but it's not for everyone, and winter does tend to get a little quiet here in Glenelg. So what better way to bring people down to Glenelg in the cooler months, than to embrace the cold and have a festival with ice-skating! I for one am super excited.

A new Glenelg Cinema has been Approved!

Nearly 18 months after it was first proposed, a majority of councillors have agreed to the plan. A $17 million eight-screen cinema complex at Glenelg is a step closer. The plan must now be considered by the State Government's Development Assessment Commission (DAC). Once approved, the cinema is expected to open by early 2015!! Yay!!!
