AIRLINE COURTESY
by Lynda Schauf of Laura's Travel Services IncAirline transportation is an essential part of most travel plans. We are aware of the varied restrictions that are in place regarding liquids and security. Luggage weight limits are strictly enforced and the cost for checked baggage will vary with each airline’s policy. Travelers should also be aware of the restrictions for “carry on” baggage – one piece that will fit beneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead, and one personal item (purse, camera case or laptop). Checked luggage will result in a fee depending on the airline.

Mimi: Toss the dauber. It isn’t worth your time and effort. Invest in some good make-up brushes. I usually try to save you money by recommending something cheap, but here is an exception. Buy the best brushes that you can. Buy fewer and better brushes. Some people say to shop at an art supply. Some of my art brushes cost more than my make up brushes. Art brushes are made for watercolor, acrylics, or oils. Make-up brushes are for make up.

Here are some money saving ideas. For all of these ideas, first start with absolutely the best conditioned hair. Read past columns on hair conditioning.
