I was surfing and found a website with a product called Sock Sacs. A Sock Sac is a big washable mesh bag. There are give colors available, so members of families can each have a different color. At the end of the day the user puts dirty socks and underwear into the Sock Sac. On wash day the Sock Sac, with the socks and underwear still inside, goes through the washer and dryer. Once the clean garments are taken out the Sock Sac is empty and ready to use again. In our house this would be the perfect thing to manage weekly laundry because we always seem to have socks missing and because hubby and my oldest son are almost the same size and my son doesn’t have any interest in sharing his underwear. Sock Sacs are located at SockSacs.com. I’m sure there’s a way to make your own version of this too. This was not a paid post. It’s just something I thought was neat to help separate, wash, dry, sort socks and underwear.

Comfortable footwear is a must, no matter if you’re at home or on vacation. With the airlines charging for bags now, people are going to have to pack smarter and lighter than ever before if they’re planning on flying to their destination. One of the ways people can lesson the amount they pack is to pack fewer bottoms and more tops, that way they can mix and match outfits. Another way is to limit the amount of footwear packed. If someone packs shoes like Fit Flops when they travel, they can go with jeans, shorts and skirts.

Just in case you don’t watch Oprah, who recently named Fit Flops one of her favorite things, or don’t read fashion magazines, I’ll explain what they are. FitFlops are a casual thonged sandal that at a quick glance you might confuse with a flip flip. Fit Flops are anything but flip flops. A Fit Flop is made of micro wobbleboard that exercises all of your leg muscles while you’re walking. Fit Flops also help tone the thighs and buttocks.

Fit Flops are sold on the SweatyBetty website for £36 and are available in six colors (red, silver, navy, chocolate, black and gold). Worldwide shipping is available.
