By Dr. LeslieBeth Wish
I love traveling. I love it so much that while I am on vacation, I am already planning my next one! But I sure don't like packing. And unpacking is even worse! I must be a slow learner because it took years of making mistakes to learn what to take and what to take it in. You may not use all these tips, but here are the ones that have worked for me and my family and friends. The goals are to look good and feel good -- and still be a smart packer. 1. What kind of luggage should I bring? Weight and dimensions of luggage are always the problem when it comes to selecting suitcases and wheelies. You might not like -- or believe -- what I am going to say, but regardless of how long I am going to be traveling, I only take the lightest four-wheel carry-on, and a shoulder tote that will hold my travel shoulder bag. Why are only these two items a good idea? When my husband and I returned from Milano, Italy, ahead of schedule to the Atlanta airport, we weren't happy that our connecting flight home was a five-hour wait. The airline employee at the ticket counter said there was a flight leaving in twenty minutes -- with three seats left -- but we could only get on it if we had not checked any bags. We showed her each of our wheelies and totes. She smiled and said: "Good thing--we have new security rules." We arrived home long before we would even have left Atlanta! If possible, buy luggage from the same set. If you can't, then mix a neutral color such as grey or black with a bold color. I like HammacherSchlemmer's less than four pounds four-wheeled wheelie. 2. What should I look for in a shoulder bag? Again, look for lightweight ones. Buying online is difficult because you often don't know the weight. If you like leather, look for ones made from lambskin. Pockets are lifesavers. Look for something that has an outside zipped compartment or large pocket. You don't want to be fumbling for things you need right away. I prefer flap fronts for safety reasons--no one can unzip your bag while you yoga pants for women are snapping photos! And I also like bags with feet. You just never know what's on the ground. If there aren't any feet, go to JoAnn's Fabrics, buy feet, and have your shoemaker put them on! And, size-wise, you will need to do a "Goldilocks:" Not so small a bag that you can't fit a sweater or a roll up hat -- but not so big that you regret carrying it. Look for bags with both shoulder straps and cross-body straps so that your back won't ache. If it doesn't have a cross-body strap, you might be able to use one from another bag. Many luxury designers make backpacks, but most of them still have too many pockets facing out and enticing pickpockets. Think about the colors of your clothes ahead of time to help you decide the color of your bag. If you are packing neutrals, go bold. If you are packing lots of color, go neutral. But, on the other hand, you can never go too wrong with deep plums or reds! Finally, select a bag that folds flat in your wheelie or that opens up inside your tote. Then you can pack your handbag with your essentials and have easy access to them. As soon as you deplane, you can just lift your handbag out of your tote and look and feel more stylish. Look at Michael Kors' quilted leather bags. If you want a bag that is more weatherproof, select a coated canvas such as Louis Vuitton's or the leather-trimmed Longchamp canvas messenger bags. The goal is to have one bag that can go directly from day to night. 3. How many outfits do I pack? Okay -- now you are really in the "I can't believe that's all she takes" area. Think about it: Do you really want to lug luggage and have to check it -- especially on journeys that consist of lots of legs and more chances for your luggage to get lost? Of course not! So, here are my top tried and true tips. Take as few clothing items that serve only one function. You know what I mean--that super sexy dress or that killer blazer that is so trim fit that you can't wear a sweater under it. Instead, to look crisp and pulled-together, I pack three or four lightweight cashmere or cotton sweater sets from J. Crew. I wear one set on the plane. I also bring two long, semi-fitted cotton blazers--usually one in black or gray -- and one in either a bold or neutral color. I wear both of them on the plane! There is no law as how many layers you can wear on a plane! You can take off a few layers and hang them up or toss over your wheelie in your overhead compartment! Some men can manage this trick as well. Wear one blazer over a lighter weight leather or cotton hoodie or zip up jacket. And, despite the advice about only packing neutrals--don't do it. You will get sick of looking at yourself! Consider taking go-with-everything-colors such as pale lavenders, pinks or blues. For men, take several tee shirts in different colors in navy, light blue, gray, tan or even orange or red! I also pack two sheer, chiffon-like peasant blouses. I bring one flirty skirt, usually in black. I wear one pair of skinny jeans on the plane and I pack two or three more in my wheelie. Don't bring undergarments or socks for every day. It doesn't take that long to wash them out. For bedtime wear, I bring one or two short nighties that can also serve as a pool or beach cover up! Instead of using tissue paper in between clothes or those vacuum packing bags that, in a weird way, take up room at the corners, try using your undergarments, chiffon blouses, bathing suit, and socks as a layer between the folds of your clothing. 4. How much jewelry and make up should I take? Take as little as possible! Bring one set each of earrings, necklace, and bracelet in gold and silver. Since jewelry is such an easy thing to buy and bring back home, it's likely that you'll find something new on your travels. One travel tip that I learned years ago from my mother-in-law was to put your jewelry in a larger size pill containers that has those daily compartments. And, according to my travel rule of taking things that serve more than one purpose, consider wearing instead a lightweight scarf tied at your neck like a kerchief. If you get cold, it will also keep you warm. Limit your make up to the smallest number of items you need to feel confident. You don't need three shades of eyeliner! 5. What do I do about shoes and work out clothing? I don't like to bring clothes that only serve for workout wear. Instead, I bring plain, fitted, cotton, capped-sleeves tops or wicking camisoles with built in bras or cotton. I've also used the cotton shell from J. Crew's sweater sets! You can wear any of these items anytime, and they are great for layering. I buy Hue's skinny jeans for both daytime and workout clothing. They also stretch enough for yoga. You probably have your own favorite brands, but keep in mind this question: Would I wear this when I am not in the gym? Men should ask themselves the same question! I've seen men wear bathing suits for gym clothes -- and daytime shorts for workout clothes. Ah -- and now that big pack item: shoes! Bring a pair of your most supportive sneakers in black, tan, gray or light blue--depending on the color of your pants or dresses. I bring only black skinny jeans, so I bring either a black or gray pair of sneakers. I favor the gray, however, since, if I wear a skirt or dress, the gray "fades" into my legs. Look at your skin tones, and use them as a guide as to what color sneaker to buy. I wear my sneakers on the plane for reasons of comfort and for more room in my travel bags. I also bring one pair of neutral-colored, patent leather-trimmed Cole Haan tie-up shoes. They look smart, they are good for walking, and they give your clothes a distinct and polished 40's look. Men should pack one other walking shoe that has a handsome look, too. Finally, see if you can squeeze in one pair of flexible sandals that can survive getting wet so you can use them at the pool! I hope I gave you enough to at least kick-start your thinking differently about packing. I hope these tips help.

In a yearlong brand transition, metrostyle[TM] and metrostyle.com have emerged out of the old names Lerner[R] and LernerCatalog.com as leading women's apparel shopping destinations for fashionable, trend-setting women across America while still offering customers the career and casual wear in misses, petite and tall sizes for which Lerner[R] is famous. With a Flash animated home page and email campaign highlighting the hottest looks in women's clothing for fall in conjunction with fashion week in NY, metrostyle.com surpassed the old Lernercatalog.com to take on the "fast" women's fashion industry. Highlighted in the daily emails (9/11-9/15) and Home Page, women's fashion trends of note were: Royal Treatment (velvet and velour), Rank & File (military-inspired looks), Western Romance (a favorite with ruffles and fringe) and, of course, Legwork, capturing the hot skinny leggings trend sticking it out through the winter. The new metrostyle[TM] online-only leggings collection was launched on October 16 and reflects the recent love affair fashion editors are having with the 80's trends of skinny leggings, opaque tights and skinny jeans, taking it into the future with modern metallic ballet flats, slouchy leather boots, glittery striped tops, and a play on volume with blouson tunics turning up skinny leggings.

"We want to assure our customers that even though the Lerner[R] name is changing, we are very committed to offering style and quality at our famous low prices," said Christophe Gaigneux, Executive Vice President of the Boston Apparel Group, which includes the brands Chadwick's, Jessica London and La Redoute, as well as metrostyle[TM].

Prana or breath, is truly one of yogas greatest gifts, as focus on the breath brings a focus to the present moment and leads to a state of inner peace. Ancient yogis, with a deep understanding of the essence of prana, studied it and devised many methods and practices to master it. According to Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, pranayama enables the mind to acquire the capacity to concentrate on any given object of attention. Yoga teachers know that the practices of pranayama helps to yoga attire manipulate our energies and re-educate the mind and body in the breathing process. When done correctly, pranayama can help release tensions and develop a relaxed state of mind. It also increases the amount of oxygen to the brain improving mental clarity, alertness and physical well being. In addition, it brings balance to the nervous system and encourages creative thinking. There are numerous specific pranayama techniques and yoga wear methods that can be used in a yoga class. In addition, there are many simple quotes, sutras, thoughts and inspirations that focus on the breath that can be used either in conjunction with a specific pranayama technique or simply as a stand alone intention or inspriation for a yoga class or personal practice. Here are a few of my personal favorites: In any quiet moment when you are breathing, The breath may flow out and pause of itself, Or flow in and pause of itself. Here experience opens into exquisite vastness With no beginning and no end. Embrace this infinity without reservation. Dive into it,drink deeply, and emerge renewed. Pour one breath into the other, Out-breath into the in-breath Into the out-breath Be there, in the harmony of that fusion Where one rhythm turns into the other, Awaken into equilibrium. Tending to breath in this way, Become capable Of experiencing oneness with the Self. Breath flows in filling, filling, Then surrenders to flow out again. Breath flows out, emptying, emptying Offering itself to infinity. Mind dissolves into heart Heart dissolves into space Body becomes a shimmering field Pulsating between fullness and emptiness. The above inspirations are sutras from The Radiance Sutras, Tantra Yoga Teachings For Opening To The Divine In Everyday Life. Toddlers tend to change clothing sizes quickly, so it can get expensive to continuously shop for them. Save money by buying inexpensive clothing articles that are still fashionable. You can pick up these clothing articles up at places like YOOX.COM or JCPenney.
1. Yoga Pants Yoga pants for kids are sleeker than a traditional sweat pant, but they're not as tight as leggings. You can get pants with subtle embroidery details, like a heart, to make them age-appropriate for kids. Cotton and spandex blends are easy to take care of, and the fabric won't break the bank. 2. Jeans Denim is a durable fabric. If it lasts longer, it also ends up saving you money. For toddlers, make sure that the item is still comfortable with an elastic waistband. It should also be easy to snap instead of a traditional button closure. Just go with a basic blue jean that can mix and match with more colorful tops and jackets. 3. Clothing Sets If you stick with a basic color palette or pattern, you can spend less money. Toddler clothing often comes in sets. This might be a sundress with a pair of leggings. Your child can wear the items together or as separates. You can put t-shirts over long sleeve shirts to transition from summer into fall with the same clothing articles. 4.
