Is today one of those boring days at work? If so, we have a link to a site that has 13 entertaining videos, all showing the 13 worst marriage proposals ever caught on camera. Although some of the videos, which can all be seen on Today24News.com, are supposedly fake, some are real. Mind you, people’s feelings were actually involved in some of the videos you will see.

One video shows a man at a sporting event proposing to his girlfriend. The next thing you know, she slaps him in the face. This dude was surrounded by a cheering crowd of fans. Next thing you know, he gets slapped, and everyone turns silent. Other proposals include a game show proposal gone bad, more proposals at sporting events, and much more. If you’re bored and you’re looking for something to do, I highly recommend checking the top 13 worst marriage proposals ever. Who knows, if you’ve had a bad marriage proposal in the past, and it was caught on film, it may have just made the cut to be on the list.

Successful packing is all about coordinating. Whether you are going on a business trip or for pleasure, stick with a theme. Believe it or not, you should be able to pack for a week to ten days in a carry-on shoulder bag and a 21″ expandable suitcase (which could be carried on if you are nervous about checking baggage). Usually when I say this in workshops, I hear groans and snickers about wearing the same outfit everyday. By the end of the workshop everyone is staring at a suitcase packed with a variety of outfits and nothing left behind. So how do you do it?

Here are 5 Keys to Success:

• Follow a monochromatic scheme – black, navy, or neutral. If you are trying to pack all three then you have tripled the amount of accessories and shoes that you need.
• Pack no more than 3 pairs of shoes including the ones you are wearing onto the plane.
• If you have followed our advice in the article “Does the label make the clothes?” then you already have a base wardrobe with well-coordinated accessories. The same rule applies here – mix and match.
• Wear your heaviest item onto the plane (blazer, sweater, or overcoat). You can always wear it over your shoulders rather than putting it on.
• If you travel often, have a toiletries kit that stays packed with all of the essentials so you can just throw it into the bag. Use containers appropriate to the length of the trip. There is no need to take the 24oz bottle of shampoo.

If you just can’t seem to pack in anything less than a 26″ suitcase, start out by making a list of everything you think you need, then GET REAL. Make a block table that is divided into categories: Daytime, Nighttime, Accessories, Shoes, Miscellaneous (Non-apparel items) and Departure Day Outfit. If you travel often, I recommend saving a template so you can snap together a suitcase in no time. There are some items that you will need on every trip so why reinvent the wheel each time. When I traveled overseas extensively, I could pack for a trip the hour before I had to leave.

So what do you need for a 10-day business trip? Here are some base lists to get you started.

Daytime:

• 5 bottom pieces (skirts or pants)
• 2 blazers
• (Substitute 2 suits w/ 3 extra bottom pieces)
• 6 blouses, tops or shirts (these can be mixed with your weekend wear also)
• 2 pairs of dress shoes – make sure that at least one can be worn with pants and skirts

Nighttime & Weekend:

• 2 bottom pieces
• 3 tops or shirts
• 1 sweater or jacket if called for by weather
• 1 pair of casual shoes
• 1 more elegant outfit if you have a dressier event

Unless the schedule calls for it, I don’t recommend packing jeans. They are bulky and may not fit the social setting in which you are entering. Casual pants can be adapted more easily into any setting.

Accessories Remember we said to mix and match. Well you don’t want to look like you are wearing the same boring combo every day so change the look of an outfit by re-accessorizing. Accessories don’t take up room in your luggage): Men – ties Women – scarves or costume jewelry

Miscellaneous: Make a standard list of everything you need on a trip such as tickets, money, credit cards, cellphone, passport, CD player and headphones, books & magazines, toiletries bag, etc.

Now you are ready for your next trip. If you are flying, have your toiletries kit in your bag under your seat along with items that help you relax (books, CDs etc). Freshen up just before arriving – shave, fix makeup, comb hair, brush teeth etc. Just think how confident you will appear when you arrive off the plane refreshed and not lugging a 50 lb. jumbo suitcase. There will be a bounce in your step as you meet your hosting party. When they ask where your luggage is, you can smile and say “right here. I am ready to go.” Then watch their faces as they calculate that you will be wearing the same old clothes every day. During the week observe as each day and night you arrive in a seemingly different ensemble. I promise, you will hear tons of comments about how great you look. Bon voyage!

When people decide to leave the comforts of their home and venture to other locations there is usually a reason behind it. Whether the cause to travel was a last minute whimsy or had an actual purpose, it makes one think about all of the reasons why people travel. Reflect on the last time you left your location and ventured to another one. Did it have a purpose behind it? Let’s look and see if your motive to travel matched any of the one’s listed below. These are not listed in any particular order.

1. Romance- There are thousands of people who are involved in long distance relationships. At some point though, they need to see each other. For the sake of love, people will travel for hours to spend as much time as they can with the love of their life.

2. Relaxation- All work and no play is not a good thing. People need to get away from the stress of everyday life, and a nice sunny location with a beach might just be what the doctor ordered.

3. Family/ Friends -Many people have family/friends that are located in different parts of the world. They need to visit with them even if it’s for a short period of time.

4. Religion- There are places in the world that hold religious importance for many people. Religious travel is often related to a purpose such as seeing where the last pope was buried, or traveling to the town where Jesus was born.

5. Death- A relative, friend or acquaintance has passed away and travel is required to attend the funeral which is located out of town.

6. Honeymoon- You’re getting married and are going somewhere special to celebrate. This usually occurs right after the wedding, but there are many occasions where people celebrate a honeymoon years later.

7. Education-You’re getting your education somewhere other than where you live or you are going away on an educational school trip.

8. Celebration- Wedding, Anniversary, Birthday, Birth- There’s always something to celebrate and it doesn’t always happen where you live.

9. Medical/Health- Sometimes the treatment you need isn’t available in the city/town where you live. Often the best medical care is costly and requires travel to receive it.

10. Work- Job requirements might mean a fair bit of travel is involved. Even if the travel is within your own country it still has a purpose attached to it.

Overall, traveling can be a wonderful experience or it can be draining, expensive and just plain torture. Nonetheless if you need to go then embrace it for what it is, and try to make the best of it even if it wasn’t planned.
