How to Pack a Vera Bradley Carry-On

How to Pack a Vera Bradley Carry-On All airlines allow you to bring one carry-on item aboard your flight. Vera Bradley, a well-known handbag designer, designs handbags that can be used for carry-on luggage. Depending on the Vera Bradley bag you have, you can fit many items in your carry-on while still complying with the Transportation Security Administration's carry-on luggage requirements. Vera Bradley's travel collection not only features carry-on bags but the accessories that go with them, such as cosmetic cases, jewelry bags and a curling iron cover.

  • Pack items in your Vera Bradley carry-on that you would need for one day and one night in your destination city in case your checked luggage is lost. Include one night's change of clothes, undergarments and personal items in your carry-on. Vera Bradley's travel collection includes the large and small duffel and the weekender bag, all of which are in accordance with the carry-on size limits on most airlines.
  • Consider the weather at your destination. Will it be warm or cold? Jackets and coats do not count as carry-on items on any airline, so don't waste the space in your Vera Bradley carry-on by putting your coat in it.
  • Pack your formal wear or work attire in a Vera Bradley garment bag. Garment bags are permitted aboard most airlines.
  • Abide by the TSA's 3-1-1 rule for carry-on liquids by packing your lotions, makeup and toiletries in containers not larger than 3.4 oz in one 1 qt. clear plastic bag. Place any nonliquid makeup (which is not required to be contained in a clear bag) in one of the Vera Bradley cosmetic cases. These cases come in three sizes; all fit comfortably inside larger carry-on bags.
  • Include your important personal items, such as your camera, phone chargers, video camera and jewelry, in your carry-on. You will need items such as your phone charger if your checked luggage is lost, and you will feel more comfortable knowing you have your jewelry with you while traveling. Pack your jewelry in the Vera Bradley travel collection jewelry case, which is made for just this purpose.

    Vacuum Bag Information and Advice

    Vacuum Bag Information and Advice

    It all began with a fellow named Ives MsGaffney in Chicago who was approached by the Chicago Carpet Cleaning Company to develop a dirt cleaner possibly for commercial use. His research led him to develop what we know today as the vacuum cleaner. This is suction type that sweeps the floor by means of pressure suction and therefore collects all the dirt and debris on the floor. His research was seconded by another gentleman names Melville who developed a vacuum cleaning device and presented it to his wife as a gift. He later died and his wife took the mantle and commercialized the vacuum cleaner becoming one of the most influential women in her time.

    Today, vacuum cleaners are extremely important and also indispensable. They use a whirlpool suction pressure ump that collects dirt and dust from under and then routes this in a vacuum bag that is attached to the cleaner. Today, vacuum cleaners are used in homes and offices because this is the only way to clean carpets, which have become a common feature of offices and homes.

    When you vacuum-clean your floor or carpet, the suction picks up the lose dirt or dust particles from under the cleaner and stores it inside the vacuum bag that is attached to the cleaner. Once the bag is full it can either be emptied or simply replaced. There are vacuum cleaners in today's market that do not use vacuum bags. They boast a much more efficient cleaning mechanism that essentially eliminates the need to keep replacing the bag. While these cleaners are taking the cleaning world by storm, there are still many who are yet to make the transition to the new type of bagless cleaners. This can be attributed to the fact that the cleaners with the vacuum bags still have some advantages as well. Imagine vacuuming and then not knowing what you vacuumed. The vacuum bags can easily be emptied and the contents retrieved. Take for instance you lose something like a wedding ring or a precious coin or a key, you can simply vacuum the house and then empty the bag. If your item was on the floor you will easily be able to retrieve it. The bagless cleaners may not make this possible because the bag or canister is securely attached to the machine and the suction force is created to literally obliterate the dirt.

    Also because there is a real huge part of the population that still has the old fashioned cleaners, it is easy to get support and advice regarding any support or questions that one might have. This support is in the form of friends and neighbors who even though they may have made the transition to the bagless cleaner, may still possess one or two of the regular cleaners with the cleaners.
