One night after a recent day trip, I realized my right shoulder hurt a lot. I backtracked through my day in my mind, trying to figure out what the heck caused this. Did I reach for something in a strange way? Did I fall? But soon I realized—it was from carrying my gorgeous but large…
As I’m sure you’ve heard, Amazon is looking to turn today, July 15th , into Amazon Prime Day: a day for deals much like Black Friday. In fact, they say there are more deals today than on Black Friday. One catch is a lot of these deals require a Prime Membership. The good news is…

The first thing that caught my eye about the Mobile Edge Sumo 13-inch Laptop Purse (after the eye-catching color, of course) was the adorable quilted front. The interior…
Not too long ago I did a post asking readers what their favorite carryon luggage brands were. When the results were tallied Tumi came in with the most votes. Tumi makes great carryon luggage, and while my readers have lots of great things to say about them they can be very expensive (upwards of over…
