Zappos Offers Holiday Air Travel Tips

Zappos.com, the online leader in clothing and shoes for men, women and kids, offers travel tips for the upcoming busy holiday travel season.

One of the best clothing items for winter travel is a vest. Offering warmth without the bulk of a winter coat, vests for men, women and kids are easy to remove for security screening and come in lots of styles and colors. There's a vest for every member of the family, and their easy-off, easy-on nature makes vests a great alternative to a coat for kids. Paired with a scarf, a down vest offers plenty of warmth for the quick dash from car to airport and eliminates the hassle of keeping track of a winter coat.

The necessity of easily re women's jackets moved clothing doesn't just stop at outerwear. Easy, slip-on shoes make security screening smoother and faster. For women and girls, UGG boots are a popular and comfortable choice. Ballet flats are another fashionable choice that fit the bill. For men, a pair of loosely laced sneakers slides on and off easily.

One other travel essential is a versatile bag. Sturdy totes that have plenty of outside and inside pockets are an excellent choice. Pockets help eliminate travel snags such as the misplaced boarding pass and provide space for granola bars, water bottles and other necessities. The space under the average airplane seat is about 11 inches high, so look for a bag that can sit upright at 11 inches. Don't dismiss the humble backpack as a carry-on bag, either. Especially for long trips, even weight distribution spares shoulders and backs from unnecessary pain.

Find all the essentials to help holiday travel go smoothly from Zappos!

From Transplants to TerraFrog--Former Organ Procurement Specialist Now Running Women’s Sportswear Design Company

Four years ago, TerraFrog Clothing Corporation CEO, Cori Windsor, left behind a career in healthcare and launched an exclusive yoga and athletic wear design company. Windsor, an Organ Procurement Coordinator, left her career in healthcare to pursue a Masters in Nursing. But, while she was taking her Masters, Windsor and her sister, Bobbi Windsor, began to discuss the need for an athletic wear line that catered to longer bodies. Unable to find a yoga line that would fit them properly, the two sisters began to design yoga tanks and bottoms for themselves. Says Cori Windsor, "We originally started designing the clothes for ourselves but then people would come up to us and say, "Oh my, where did you get that top?" Soon, we were designing clothes for other people and it just grew from there."

Windsor never went back to healthcare. Both she and her sister now run TerraFrog Clothing Corporation-- a yoga and sportswear design company that is well known for their exclusive, trend setting designs and styles. Says Windsor, "If you would have told me five years ago that I would be running a women's sportswear company, I would have never believed you."

LynnCo Supply Chain Solutions, Inc., Lends a Hand to Military Wife and Also, Offers Tips To Families for Shipping Care Packages and Supplies To Loved Ones Overseas.

LynnCo Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. recently collected and shipped supply donations for troops stationed in Afghanistan. LynnCo's sponsored platoon received 52 boxes of food, clothing, books, toiletries, hand warmers, letters and many more needed supplies. LynnCo first heard about the soldier's need for supplies from the wife of an Oklahoma Soldier who is serving overseas and was having a difficult time getting them shipped.

Dr. Aniysa Fritz, LynnCo Supply Chain Solutions, Inc., Chairman and CEO says, "When we heard about military wife, Traci Taylor's effort to collect & ship supplies for these soldiers we were honored to help in any way we could. It is the very least we can do for the brave men and women that are fighting for our freedom every single day." LynnCo understands that shipping supplies overseas to the military is not a simple process. "There are specific procedures that need to be followed in order to ensure that the desired goods get to the correct person." Says Rob McGrath, LynnCo Carrier Relations Manager.

This particular platoon moved locations every 2-4 days and supplies were hard to come by. The supplies couldn't have come at a better time as the platoon had recently run out of all of their military issued supplies due to a shipping delay. Dr. Fritz states, "It took a team of logistics professionals to accomplish this for an individual to go through the shipping process alone would be next to impossible."

As added bit of advice McGath also states. "Do not, for any reason, or in any amount, include food items with any hygiene items or chemicals of any type. Be sure to separate care packages carefully, only food items or only non-food items."Mcgrath says that "You would not believe how even factory sealed cookies taste when they have lived together with bath soap for a month in 120 degree heat. Trust me, a good smelling arm pit is a nice thing, but a cookie that tastes like one will not improve a Soldier's morale."

LynnCo Supply Chain Solutions Tips for Shipping Care Packages to Family Members Serving Overseas
o  & fashion coats online nbsp; Fill out the address completely and correctly. This means a specific individual must be named.
o    List the soldier's address inside the package in case the address on the box is unreadable or the box is opened or damaged en route.
o    Number your letters and packages as they may not always be delivered in order.
o    Identify your package- Customs will need to know what is in each box and quantities.
o    Never send items that would be irreplaceable or of high value. There is always a chance they could be lost or stolen.
o    Attach the correct customs form. For example, a package less than 16 ounces and valued less than $400 will need Form 2976.
o    Check "Gift" to avoid duty taxes.
o    Check the size and weight of your package. Your package cannot be more than 84 inches long or more than 130 inches when you    total up the length plus the girth.
o    Your package cannot weigh more than 70 lbs.
o    Shipping time: A package usually takes between 7 and 20 days to reach its destination.
o    Do not include items that may melt, leak, explode or turn on.
o    Separately box food items and non-food items to avoid contamination.
Prohibited items:
                o    Perishables or temperature controlled items
                o    Liquids exceeding 16 ounces in a single parcel

Plastic Surgeon Explains Benefits of Breast Reduction

Dr. Jose Rios of Rios & Lapinski Plastic Surgery & Dermatologic Institute specializes in breast reduction and breast augmentation near Chicago. He says he is not at all surprised by a recently released study that shows breast reduction procedures create an extremely high level of patient satisfaction.

The study ( http://journals.lww.com/plasreconsurg/Fulltext/2012/03000/Additional_Benefits_of_Reduction_Mammaplasty___A.2.aspx ), which was published in the March issue of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, found that following breast reduction surgery, women report improvements in many areas, including headaches, breathing and sleeping difficulties and musculoskeletal pain.

Dr. Rios, a board-certified plastic surgeon, says he gets similar positive feedback from his Naperville, IL, cosmetic surgery patients who have had breast reduction.

He also agrees with the study's findings that the procedure can have many psychological benefits, including reduced depression and anxiety and improved women's coats online self-esteem.

"Breast reduction can be very liberating, both physically and emotionally, for women who have had to go through life making accommodations for their large breasts," Dr. Rios says. "Not only can big breasts be extremely uncomfortable, causing neck and back pain, but women often find it difficult to find clothing that fits correctly. And, the stares and comments that often go along with the condition are hard on a woman's self-esteem."

He said the procedure can also lead to a better quality of life because many women find it easier and more comfortable to exercise and participate in other physical activities following breast reduction surgery.

"It's also personally a very satisfying procedure for me, as a doctor, because of the many positive changes I see it bring to my patients' lives," Dr. Rios says.

"I encourage women who are suffering physically or emotionally because of overly large breasts to seek the advice of a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with breast reduction surgery to see if this procedure might be beneficial for them."

Dr. Rios performs a wide variety of plastic surgery procedures for Naperville, Joliet and Chicago-area residents. He specializes in breast enhancement and body contouring surgery, while his partner in practice, Dr. Paula Lapinski, is a dermatologist who specializes in skin cancer treatment and Mohs micrographic surgery.

At Rios & Lapinski Plastic Surgery & Dermatologic Institute ( http://www.rios-lapinski.com ), Dr. Jose Rios and Dr. Paula Lapinski offer a combination of expertise in cosmetic surgery and dermatology. Dr. Rios completed his education at Princeton University and New York University and is certified by The American Board of Surgery and The American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has co-authored multiple articles and presented his research at state and national levels. Dr. Lapinski is certified by The American Board of Dermatology and earned her degrees at Notre Dame and Northwestern University. She completed her dermatology residency at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Because of her interest in skin cancer, she stayed another year and completed a Mohs micrographic surgery fellowship. Dr. Rios and Dr. Lapinski provide comprehensive care for your medical, reconstructive and cosmetic needs at their four Illinois locations.
