As the sun’s rays get more intense, most of us will find ourselves reaching for our sunglasses. If you find that you need a new pair, why not treat yourself to some chic specs and do a bit of good to boot? Amy Sacks’ eyewear offers exceptional quality handcrafted eyewear at a good price. Each pair of eyeglasses and sunglasses has a frame constructed from bamboo, making them not only stylish, but sustainable, too. Plus, each pair of specs comes with a lifetime warranty. But the best part is that with each purchase, all profits go to support the Pixie Project (pixieproject.org) which helps to provide homes for animals as well as assist with training, spaying and neutering. The Julian sunglasses (pictured, in caramel) are available for $130 from www.AmySacks.com.

‘Tis the season for travel, but with all the regulations, fees and rigamarole surrounding your luggage, getting from point A to point B has never been more of an obstacle course. Many folks are opting to avoid checking bags and go for carry-on instead. If you’re going the carry-on route, here are a few guidelines to help make those trips through TSA a little less stressful:
• The standard dimensions for carry-on luggage are 22” X 14” X 9”.
• The weight limit is generally 40 pounds for a standard carry-on.
• One other bag is permitted as a carry-on, including a laptop computer, a purse or a small tote.
• Ensure that your personal liquids are packed in a container that is less than 3 ounces and that all liquids and gels are contained in a quart-sized zip top clear plastic bag that is easily accessible.
