In addition to providing organisational titbits, the mum-of-four has also shared packing hacks online.
On The Today Show, an Australian TV programme, Anita showed viewers how a plastic sleeve can prevent evening dresses and important garments from creasing.
In a video posted on Instagram, the TV anchor asked: “What about packing evening wear Anita, because it’s so hard to keep it crease-free.”
Straight away, Anita replied: “There’s a really easy way to do it, OK.
“You know these plastic sleeves that you normally get from the laundromats [launderettes], you can actually go and ask for them for one, but keep it with you.
“What you’re going to do is keep your garment inside and just start folding gently all the way up.
“Now what happens is you’re actually creating bubble wrap, now kept air in here which keeps the creases away.”
The video ended with Anita placing the rolled plastic sleeve onto the top of her packing cubes inside the suitcase.
The video has been liked over 200 hundred times, and users hailed the hack as a success.
One person wrote: “I have been doing that for a few years, and yes it works.”
Another added: “Oh my gosh how smart is that!”
