Try to get as many items as you can in travel-sized containers. Local drugstores offer mini versions of commonly used toiletries, or you can buy your own travel-sized containers and fill them yourself. For a 5 day vacation, you will want to bring 2-3 pairs of shorts or pants, 3-4 tops, a light jacket (or a heavy jacket, depending on where you are traveling), and 1 formal outfit if you are planning on attending a nice restaurant or event. If you are going to the beach, pack 2-3 swimsuits/trunks. Try to coordinate all clothing items so they can be worn with each other in any combination. Bring 1-2 sleep outfits for the week. If you tend to get cold at night, you may also want to bring a light sweater to put on in the evenings. If you are trying to save space, you could plan on wearing the same shirt you wear during the day to bed at night. Bring 1 pair of comfortable shoes for walking. If you are planning on going out, bring 1 pair of dress shoes or flats that go with your outfit. For the beach, bring 1 pair of sandals. The fewer pairs of shoes you bring, the lighter your bag will be.  Don't forget to pack shoes for any special activities you will be doing, like mountain climbing or white water rafting. Wear your bulkiest pair of shoes when you are traveling to your destination to save room in your luggage. Bring 4-5 pairs of underwear, 4-5 pairs of socks, 2-3 undershirts/bras, and any slips or specialty items you might need (for example, if you need a backless bra for a dress). If you have limited packing space, bring fewer pairs of undergarments and plan on washing dirty clothes in the sink where you are staying. Some accommodations offer washing and drying machines that you can use while you are traveling. Some things you may like to have with you are sunglasses, scarves, hats, jewelry, ties, and belts. If packing jewelry, be careful to not bring anything extremely valuable in case it gets lost or stolen. It can also be fun to buy new accessories as souvenirs when you travel, like scarves or hats. If you think you may like to do this, leave those items at home to save space. Items to remember: cell phone charger, voltage adapter, video/MP3 player, earphones, camera, electronic reader. For a 5 day trip, you might not need all of these items, so think carefully about what you are planning to do on your trip and what you'll need to take with you. This will help ensure you don't run out of anything while you are away! If you take birth control pills, remember to bring those along with you, too. Bring a list of medications with you to keep on hand in case there is an emergency on your trip.

Article: . Beachy hair is usually achieved through the combination of sun and the salty ocean spray. If you don't have access to a beach, you can fake your way to California girl hair by using a leave-in salt spray, which will create a thick, wavy texture to hair of all colors, lengths, and textures.  You can make your own salt spray using water and dissolved table salt, or you can purchase a sea salt spray from your local salon. If you do use a sea salt spray regularly, be sure to condition your hair, as well, as salt can be extremely drying. Because California is known for its sunshine, it comes as no surprise that the quintessential California girl has sun-bleached hair. To mimic the fresh, youthful appearance of beachy hair, you can have your hair highlighted or bleached in a salon, or you can do it yourself by applying some lemon juice to your hair and sitting in the sun over the course of a few days. Typically, California girl hair is associated with hair that is at least a little bit wavy, rather than hair that has been straightened or relaxed. Because Californian style is focused on looking effortless and relaxed, allowing your hair to embrace its own natural texture, whether that means a tight curl or a barely-there wave. If you do not have wavy hair, you can tease it, add a salt spray, or even create uneven and messy curls with a curling iron. Although long hair is not a strict requirement, the California girl style is usually embodied by long, flowing hair. If you are able, opt for long, let-down hair in a natural texture. If you do have short hair, make sure you play it up by making it as messy and wavy as you can.

Article: Do not add irrelevant elements in your speech. Get to the point and say what you mean so that your listener can respond accordingly. Verbal communication is different than other forms of communication in that it is easier to get off topic, which can make it hard to remember what the conversation was really supposed to be about. This is confusing for your listener. So, stay on topic. Always include a consideration for your audience/listeners when planning out a speech or thinking about an upcoming conversation. You don't want to say something that might be taken the wrong way or offend your audience. Making and maintaining eye contact is crucial when speaking to people, whether one-on-one or in a group setting. It shows attentiveness and interest in what's being said. Increased eye contact is associated with credibility and dominance, so it is important to maintain solid eye contact when speaking to individuals or to a group. Note: When you are addressing a crowd, you should not look at one for more than 5 seconds. This is too personal/intimate for a group setting. Practice smiling while you speak. This is especially important when addressing groups of people because it is a simple way to build a foundational relationship with people you may not have any one-on-one interaction with. Smiling helps us form and sustain interpersonal relationships, so it is an essential part of communicating with others. Do not speak in hurry, as it will make the listener think that you are confused or that you don't know what you're talking about. Speak slowly and confidently. From the standpoint of a listener, a sarcastic remark requires a process of decoding and interpretation before they can understand what has been said, what has been meant, and if the two are the same. Everyone likes to laugh, so humor can be a great way to lighten up your conversation and make your listener more receptive to your message. Note: Of course, you should avoid vulgar or inappropriate humor to avoid offending your listener. Your body language should be relaxed. This means that you should not cross your arms or stiffen your body. When addressing groups of people, it is important to use your hand gestures to emphasize your message. Try not to be overly animated, but don't keep your arms stiff at your side either. Your audience won't put any stock in what you say if you act unsure or timid. You have to show your listeners that you believe in your message before you can expect them to believe you too.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
