What to Wear to the Airport: Organic Cotton
I recently found some very cute organic cotton pieces from an unexpected place: Gaiam. If you do yoga, you have probably heard of this company.

Poll: Do you have a short suitcase?
During a recent overnight trip, I realized that I may need a short suitcase. Until now I have always used my normal sized rollaboard suitcase, regardless of length of trip or how much I am taking.
