Even for seasoned road warriors, suitcase packing tends to be a dreaded chore. Is there really a foolproof method for fitting suits, business casual, and casual attire (not to mention shoes, toiletries, and other accessories) into a carry-on bag… without forgetting anything essential?

In most cases, the answer is "yes."

Many business travelers overpack in order to prepare for every eventuality. After all, no one wants to wear yesterday’s wrinkly button-down to a client dinner that cropped up unexpectedly.

Do you dread getting dressed in the morning? If so, maybe a messy closet is the culprit. Shelves are crammed, hangers are tangled, and clothes, shoes, belts, and more are piled on the floor. You’ve got plenty to wear, but nothing inspires you (Probably because you can’t find your best pieces). Most days, you throw on the first thing you can find, slam the closet door, and try to avoid the mirror.

Black Friday: the day the shopping frenzy begins for the holidays. This year even more retailers are opening their doors a day early (on Thanksgiving Day) for those looking to get a jump on their holiday shopping. So, do you just bust in and fight the crowds or is there a better way? Here are some etiquette tips that can help you have a successful and drama-free shopping day this holiday season!

1. Use your manners and indoor voice. Don’t push, shove or yell at fellow shoppers… even if they push, shove or yell at you first!

It’s just about summer time. Time to kick off your shoes, relax and show off those sandal-ready feet and painted toe nails. But wait! Have you been taking care of your feet? They're easy to neglect when we hide them beneath socks and shoes, but our outer body, like our inner, needs maintenance.

Our skin is the body’s largest organ and therefore needs the most moisture. While we drink bottles of water every day to keep hydrated, that is not enough for the abuse our skin suffers. Our skin needs a little more nurturing and TLC.
