  • Italy Trip Travel Tips
    Italy Trip Travel Tips Baggage: You may take one large suitcase (a 26” or 28” size suitcase will probably be sufficient for your needs). The maximum weight for checked-in bags on flights to Europe is 50lbs. The maximum dimension of any bag is 62” (add the length + width + height). Try to stay under 50lbs, since you’ll want to bring back souvenirs! Any excess luggage weight will incur a charge to be paid at the airport when you are checking in. Place nametags on the handles of your luggage. Make sure you place a nametag inside your bag (in case the outside tag is lost in transfer) that includes your name, address, telephone number, and email address. You are also allowed to take along one carry-on bag and a personal item (small purse, for example). Please remember that this carry-on must be small enough to either fit under your seat or in the overhead compartment. You may carry limited quantities of liquids, gels and aerosols in your carry-on bag when going through security checkpoints. Each container must be 3oz or smaller and be enclosed in only one, quart-size, Ziploc, clear plastic bag. The rest of your toiletries etc. must go in your checked bag. We advise taking trial size toiletry articles, cosmetics, medicines, slippers, jacket/sweater, camera, jewelry/valuables, and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag so you can be prepared if your large bag is delayed. It is also beneficial to pack an extra change of underwear, socks and an outfit in your traveling companion’s (roommate) checked luggage as well, if possible.

  • IN-HOME “Pikle” PARTY TRAINING
    IN-HOME “PiKLE” PARTY TRAINING The following are some suggestions on how to have a successful “In A Pikle” party. Remember to be professional, make new friends and have fun! Before the Party! Make sure you arrive a ½ hour early so you have plenty of time to set up your display, answer last minute questions from your hostess and be ready to welcome your first guest. When the guests arrive encourage them to take a look at your display, grab some food and get ready for a fun night. Display! There are some great examples of displays that people have uploaded on the Pikle Professional page. Keep it simple! IAP has done a great job providing us the tools that make our display look professional. Don’t forget booking boards with your “available party dates” and also lapboards for your guests. Each lapboard should have a wish list, opportunity brochure and monthly customer special. Save the catalogs until the end of your presentation so they focus on you and not the catalog while you are talking. Introduction! Ask your hostess to please have her guests be seated and introduce you so you may begin your presentation. Take a brief moment to thank your hostess and introduce yourself. Ask each guest to introduce themselves and how they know the hostess. “P” is for…Personal Problem Solver! The “In A Pikle” bag is a personal problem solver. *Practical…it looks like a fashionable wallet or clutch but is filled with all kinds of practical items. Every day we have little emergencies (name a few common ones).

  • Plastic Bag Ban Frequently Asked Questions
    PLASTIC BAG BAN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BACKGROUND On April 22, 2014, the city council unanimously voted to ban the use of single use plastic bags in Beverly Hills. WHY ARE PLASTIC BAGS BEING BANNED? Plastic bags have detrimental effects to our environment. A single plastic bag can take up to 1,000 years to degrade. Plastic bags are the second-most common type of ocean refuse, after cigarette butts. Plastic bags remain toxic even after they break down. Every square mile of ocean has about 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in it. Plastic bags are difficult to recycle. Less than 5% of the 19 billion (19,000,000,000) plastic bags used annually in California are actually recycled. WHEN DOES THE ORDINANCE GO INTO EFFECT? The plastic bag ban will be carried out in two phases. The First phase of the ordinance went into effect on July 1, 2014. Phase two, which bans plastic bags at small grocery stores, convenience stores, pharmacies, and food markets, will be put into practice on January 1, 2015. WHICH STORES ARE AFFECTED? Only stores selling breads, sodas, snacks, or other convenient items are affected. Phase 1 stores include: Ride Aid (Canon Dr.) Ride Aid (Bedford Dr.) CVS (Wilshire Blvd) Pavilions Whole Foods WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE REUSABLE BAGS? Since the ordinance’s adoption, the city has distributed reusable bags to residents at community events. As part of the ordinance, stores are required to carry inventory of reusable bags, which may be purchased by customers if needed. Stores are also required to sell paper bags for .10 cents each, so remember to bring your reusable bags when you shop! ARE PAPER BAGS STILL HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT? Yes, paper bags still have damaging effects to the environment.

  • Ergonomic Strategies for Using a Purse
    Ergonomic Strategies for Using a Purse Effects of Wearing a Heavy Purse • Heavy purses worn over one shoulder cause uneven weight distribution across the back muscles and may restrict blood flow at the shoulder. • Heavy purses and shoulder straps without padding place extra pressure on the nerves of the neck and shoulders and can result in pain in the neck, shoulders, and lower back. Pain may be described as pins and needles, tingling, stiffness, numbness, or tightness. • Avoid carrying a purse with your thumbs—this might cause excess pressure on the joints in your hands or fingers. Tips for Selecting the Right Purse • Buy different sizes of purses for different occasions. The size of your purse should reflect specific activities: • Short errands—small, compact purse • Long errands—small backpack or knapsack worn around the waist • Avoid heavily loading tote-style bags, which are worn over the shoulder. • Select purses with built-in compartments. This will help to distribute the weight more evenly. • Choose a handbag that is proportionate to your body size and no larger than what is needed. • Avoid selecting purses made of heavy material such as leather, which adds extra weight. Instead, select handbags made of lighter materials, such as microfiber and fabric. • Straps: Avoid thin and long straps; straps should be wide and adjustable. Ensure that pressure caused by the straps does not cause discomfort. Tips for Packing a Purse • Consider the contents of your purse—can you leave some items at home or in your car? • Eliminate unnecessary duplicate contents, such as extra pens and lipsticks.

  • Camper's Award Backpack
    Camper’s Award Backpack Classification of Backpack External Frame Internal Frame Backpack Backpack Generic Types of Backpack Waist Packs / Hip Packs / Fanny Packs / Lumbar Packs Volume: up to 10 liters These are not officially backpacks but they can replace your traditional backpacks for smaller day hikes. The simplest versions consist of just a pouch and belts. The pouch and the weight of the waist pack is located in the curve of your spine near your center of balance. This makes these packs very easy to carry as they put virtually no strain on your body. Some more advanced versions feature shoulder yokes that increase the stability and maximum load. Waist packs that are overloaded will start to sag at which time you are better off moving to a day pack. A typical waist pack has side pockets where you can keep your drinking bottles for easy access. Hydration Packs Volume: up to 10 liters Hydration Packs consist of a bladder with a drinking tube around which the actual backpack has been built up. Some hydration packs consist only of the bladder and some shoulder straps while others might have a casing and side pockets which make them real backpacks. Larger backpacks generally do not have a fixed bladder but have a special compartment to facilitate the insertion of a bladder and have a hole for the drinking tube. Camelbak is one of the best known producers of hydration packs. Generic Types of Backpack Day Packs Volume: 15 to 35 liters The name Day Pack already gives away its intended use: Day Hikes.
