    Organization - To make traveling easier, keep your suitcase stocked with your travel hair dryer, travel-sized toiletries, hair clips, a few pieces of inexpensive costume jewelry, an extra hairbrush and comb, a travel toothbrush, shaving cream, a folding umbrella and other non-perishable essentials. When you're ready to go on a trip, the only thing you'll have to add is your clothes.

    Etiquette - How much time do I have to send a thank you note? Try to mail your thank- you note within three days or at least the first week of having received the gift. If your thank-you note is for your wedding gifts, then you have three months to one year. Etiquette Tip provided by The Etiquette Schoold of Nevada.

    Got A Tip or CommentTo Share? Send them in! We feature 1-3 tips a week on everything from etiquette, organization, finances, time management, and more.
