duffle-bagMany Americans save up their vacation time until summer, when office buildings feel especially stifling and it’s a tragedy not to spend the day outdoors. In most cases, long-distance travel means traversing long airport passageways with luggage in tow. This is part of the reason why a vacation doesn’t truly begin until you reach your destination. Dealing with all that luggage can be a particularly annoying chore.

Wiser luggage choices can make a huge difference, however. A duffle bag is much more convenient to tote around than a big, bulky, square suitcase. Most duffles also provide easy access to your belongings thanks to their handy top zipper. These bags do not sacrifice durability, however. They can withstand as much abuse as luggage handlers are willing to dish out.

leather purseCleaning out a leather purse in of itself is already a daunting task, but properly caring for it requires a bit more TLC than some people have the time for. Here’s a quick guide on cleaning a leather purse:

• Read any care instructions that came with the purse. Follow them carefully.

• Empty the purse of its contents before you begin. Once it’s empty, open it as widely as possible and shake out any dirt or debris.

• If the lining appears sturdy enough, gently vacuum out the interior to remove every bit of dust and dirt. Don’t forget those dirty zip-up pockets.

• Use good quality leather cleaner on a leather purse.

The NFL season gets under way in September, so now is as good a time as any to prepare to attend a few home games. Since there are only eight home games in a season, you’ll need to get your tickets early. Also, plan on bringing a sack lunch, some blankets and many layers of clothing if you live in a northern climate.

Ladies who are looking to maintain some fashion sense while watching a football game should investigate the NFL handbag market. These bags bear the proud insignia of your favorite franchise, and they also provide style and function. They are suitable for carrying any number of game-day essentials, and your significant other will be thrilled to see that you’ve taken such an interest in a sports team.
