Dear PUNTA FINAL, Today's travel tip isn't just for the ladies. Guys can use this tip for packing small tie clips, too... TRAVEL TIP #2: USE BUTTONS AS EARRING HOLDERS When you're packing jewelry, be sure to also pack a drinking straw and a few buttons. Drinking straws can protect your necklaces from tangling. Simply thread one end of the necklace though the straw and secure the clasp. The straw will keep it from tangling and knotting in the bottom of your bag. And buttons can hold and keep your earrings secure. Simply put the earring post trough the button hole. Then, place the back of the earring on the other end. This keeps them out of the creases of your jewelry bag (making them harder to lose). And you can put the other earring in the same button, to keep them together. That way, they'll be easier to find when you're dashing out for dinner.
