Problem: Article: To make sure that you bring the products that you need -- and don't overpack -- think about your daily skincare and grooming routine and make a mental note of each product that you use. Pack just those items to avoid bringing products that you really don't need. Don't forget to include tools that you might need, such as cotton balls or cotton swabs. You don't necessarily need to bring every toiletry that you use in your daily routine on your trip. For example, even if you use hairspray everyday to tame your hair for work, you may not need it on a relaxed beach vacation. Cut out any products that aren't necessities. Keep in mind that most hotels provide shampoo, conditioner, and soap, so you may not need to pack those items. The only time you might need to switch up products is if you're visiting an area that's a different climate from where you live. For example, if you're visiting a different hemisphere, the seasons may be different, so you may need a more intense moisturizer for cold, dry weather or plenty of sunscreen for warm, sunny weather. If you're traveling by plane and want to pack your toiletries in your carry-on bag, it's important to consider airport security guidelines in terms of what you can bring and how to pack it. Most airports allows you to bring a quart size (0.95 l) plastic bag with liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes as long as they're limited to 3.4 ounces (100 ml) per item. Check with the airports that you're traveling through to determine their guidelines to ensure that you pack your toiletries appropriately for security checks. You'll have an easier time packing your toiletries if you have a dedicated bag for them. A bag with compartments is especially convenient because it allows you to organize your products, and prevents spills and leaks from getting all over the inside of the bag.
Summary: Go through your daily routine for products that you use. Eliminate unnecessary or luxury items. Include additional products based on your destination. Check airplane carry-on rules online to confirm. Invest in a compartmentalized toiletry bag.

Problem: Article: Scotch flavors tend to vary a bit depending on the region in Scotland where they were produced. While this is not a hard and fast rule, Speyside and Highlands scotches are generally more fruity and sweet than other types of scotch. Speyside and the Highlands are both home to large numbers of distilleries, so you can expect quite a bit of variation between bottles. Experiment with different Speysides and Highlands until you find one you like. If you like whiskey that feels light and smooth and has a floral or grassy finish, Lowlands scotch is a good choice. These malt whiskeys are known for being gentler than many other types of scotch, and they make excellent aperitifs. There are only a few operating distilleries in the Lowlands today. The 2 oldest and most famous distilleries currently in business in the region are Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie. Like most scotches, Lowlands whiskeys are single malts, meaning that they are made with malted barley from a single distillery. Malting involves letting the grain germinate in water before fermentation. Most scotches tend to have a milder flavor than other malts because of the special double or triple distillation process they go through. Generally, they have an alcohol content of about 40% (80-proof). These regions are known for producing whiskeys with strong, complex flavors, often with overtones of smoke, peat, and salt. These are good choices if you don't like sweet or floral drinks, but they may be overwhelming for a first-time whiskey drinker. Islay scotches are known for their strong flavors, which come from the peat fuel that is used during the malting process. Some of the most famous Islay scotches distilleries are Lagavulin, Ardbeg, and Laphroaig. For a somewhat lighter flavor, try a Bruichladdich scotch. Islands scotches are also peaty, but are milder and sweeter than Islay scotches. Try a Tobermory or Highland Park, or choose an Arran bottle for a lighter and fruitier taste. Choose Talisker for a smoky and peaty taste. Campbeltown scotches are complex and slightly salty, with peaty notes similar to those found in Islay's. The major distilleries are Glen Scotia, Longrow, and Springbank.
Summary: Choose a Speyside or Highlands scotch if you want a sweeter flavor. Try a Lowlands scotch if you prefer a lighter body. Opt for Islay, Islands, or Campbeltown if you like strong or peaty flavors.

Problem: Article: Try to remember what happened at the moment that you were injured. This may be difficult, especially if you are in a great deal of pain. However, your experience at the moment of injury may provide clues. How fast were you moving? If you were moving at a very high speed (e.g., skiing or running at top speed), there is a chance your injury is a bone fracture. This will require professional medical attention. A lower speed injury (e.g., rolling your ankle while jogging or walking) is more likely a sprain that may heal on its own with proper care. Did you feel a tearing sensation? In many cases you will, in the case of a sprain. Was there a popping or snapping sound? This can occur with a sprain. It is also common with a bone fracture. In the case of a sprain, your ankle will become swollen, usually immediately. Examine your ankles side-by-side to see if the injured one looks larger. Pain and swelling will usually occur in ankle sprain or fracture. Foot or ankle deformity and unbearable pain usually indicate ankle fractures. Make sure to use crutches and go to your doctor immediately. A sprain also often causes bruising. Examine the ankle for signs of discoloration resulting from bruises. A sprained ankle will often feel tender. Gently touch the injured area with your fingers to see if it is painful to the touch. Stand up and gently put some weight on the injured ankle. If it is painful to put weight on the ankle, it could be sprained or fractured. Get medical attention immediately and use crutches. Feel for a "wobbliness" in the ankle. A sprained ankle often feels loose or unstable. In the case of a severe sprain, you may not be able to put any weight on the ankle at all, or use that foot to stand. Doing so will cause too much pain. Use crutches and seek medical attention immediately.
Summary:
Recall the moment of injury. Look for swelling. Look for bruising. Feel for tenderness. Put weight gently on the ankle.
