Luggage Sets For Less

Filed under:

The holiday travel season kicks off in just a few weeks. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest travel day of the year. Airports, train stations and the highways will be packed with travelers who are eager to reach their family in time for the big turkey dinner. Traveling during this season can either be a positive or a negative experience. You can’t always control gridlock but you can easily control how your clothes and other valuables are stored when you keep them in sturdy luggage. There’s nothing more annoying than owning luggage that doesn’t zip, lock or one without wheels. Having a bag like this can be a living nightmare for your trip.

If your luggage is on its last leg — or in this case legs, it may be time to retire in into the luggage graveyard and start searching for a new one. Some luggage sets can cause you to have to take out a loan but you don’t have to over spend. These luggage sets from Olympia and Traveler’s Choice are not only sturdy but they are stylish. Best of all, they’re affordable. Nothing on this list is over $250!

Baby’s Got (a healthy) Back Thanks to the Healthy Back Bag!

File under: , , ,

When it comes to bags, I like them round and big to carry all of the junk that would otherwise be in my trunk.* But that’s terrible for my back and shoulder! One of my shoulders used to be so much lower than the other because of my bag!!!

So for my day-to-day dealings I keep my spinal curves in check with the Healthy Back Bag tote ($49-$150 depending upon size chosen and material used)! It’s plain awesome and incredibly perfect for anything from plane travel to backpacking, and here’s why:

1. It’s ergonomic! What does that mean? The Healthy Back Bag tote fits your body like a puzzle piece – instead of laying a flat surface against the curve of your back, it curves with your back, taking a whole lot of pressure off and distributing the weight more evenly!

2. It’s light as a feather! The Healthy Back Bag tote in nylon feels frighteningly light – when I’m triking or walking around I often have to touch the bag to make sure that it’s still there!

3. It’s fantastic for people who love pockets!
My name is Nancy Redd, and I’m a pocket-o-holic. My fix of choice is the Healthy Back Bag tote . Each bag has five to six pockets to safely store all of your stuff! When it’s on your back, there’s no way a thief could get to your valuables as they can be zipped inside in a way that takes quite a bit of effort to extract. This is also good to prevent impulse shopping, hee hee hee.

The Healthy Back Bag tote is unisex and veritile, and they have all kinds of versions – diaper bag, carry-all, small, large, you name it! So pitch the pain out of the window and get a Healthy Back Bag tote !

*Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Baby’s Got Back will never go out of style!
