Always chop and freeze extra carrots, onions, garlic, ginger, and celery, etc. when cooking so you can save that step next time. Also freeze extra lemon and orange zest and lemon juice.

Remove your jewelry and shoes and have your ticket in your hand when waiting for airport clearance to avoid further delay. Don’t wear any jewelry that’s hard to get off and on.

Never pack a carry-on suitcase heavier than you can lift over your head unless you plan to stand next to a tall, husky man on the airplane.

Stash make-up in extra small bag in purse so it’s easy to find. Use a zip-lock if you don’t care how it looks. This is a great idea for a large shoulder bag when traveling.
