Drawbacks Of Hiring Your Own Aide

By Terry Adler, CEO, Always Classic Care - Aventura Digest

This one is the most frequently asked question I am asked: Why should I go through an agency when I can hire my own aide and pay less per hour?

Remember the age-old adage “You get what you pay for”? You may pay less for your aide hourly, but when you hire independently, do you really know what you are getting yourself into?

These are just a few of the complaints that I have heard from patients who contacted us: • Things seem to disappear too often • She didn’t listen to what I wanted • She got so bossy that I felt like I was the employee • With her problems, I felt that I needed to help her with extra money • She kept coming late and leaving early • She was on her cell phone all the time • She was nervous driving to unfamiliar addresses, even to the doctor • She did not cook the way I like and would not listen to my suggestions • She didn’t buy the brands or cuts of meat that I wanted • She didn’t dress appropriately and when we went out, I was embarassed.

With our agency, as with any other legitimate agency, we do not stand for any complaints, NOT ANY.

• Our aides are professionally trained with documentation and references carefully checked • All aides and nurses have been screened by the FBI with confirmation that they have no criminal records • A registered nurse opens each case to assess the exact needs of the new client • The client and/or family is interviewed for specifications and expectations • Staff carefully matches an aide to the personality and needs of the client • If the match is not perfect, staff will make changes immediately.

You definitely can hire whomever you like.

However, you should consider the following carefully: • How well do you know this person? Can you trust him or her? Are you sure the aide does not have a police record? How do you know?

• Is the aide insured to cover any liability if you should become injured while in their care? By hiring through an agency, you can be certain that liability covering the aide is in place.

• Does your aide have a legal right to work in this country? That translates to a Green Card, Permanent Residency or actual citizenship.

• Will you be paying your share of their Federal taxes? Our agency does. We report and we pay, as good citizens should.

Many people are unaware of their responsibility to IRS when hiring a household employee, or of the aide’s legitimate status to work in the US. Our aides are our employees and we report their earnings and our share to the IRS. Protect yourself by preventing problems. An agency is your safest way to go. Even the home health aides know that, and although they accept statewide standard rates that may be lower than what they could get from the client privately, reputable aides know that by working through reputable agencies, they also are protected and can be steadily employed with respect.

I Hope this has been helpful. With my 20+ years of experience as a cardiac and home health nurse, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding home health. Please feel free to email me at terry@alwaysclassiccare.com or call me at 305-403-2622.

CITY NEWS Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning has never stopped making a difference

By Larry Blustein - Aventura Digest

While his skills on the basketball court paved his way for a place in the Hall of Fame on August 8th, Alonzo Mourning’s upbringing and compassion for others has made him an icon in south Florida.

Raised in Virginia and educated at prestigious Georgetown University, Mourning has always been at the center of making a difference in the lives of others - as a community activist and champion for children’s services. Recently, he secured a $1 million grant from a healthcare conglomerate and has been implementing plans to use the funds for his Overtown Youth Center.

What has made Mourning so special through the years is his willingness to do for others. From education to a greater appreciation for the little things in life, his maturity came at a young age when he was raised by a foster mother, Fannie Threet, who took him and 48 other kids into her home.

Nba Career Started In 1992 Mourning was the second pick in the 1992 NBA draft by the Charlotte Hornets, where he played for three successful seasons. In 1995, he became a member of the Miami Heat, where he played for seven years. Through his leadership, the Miami Heat went on to win several Eastern division titles. His on-court reputation as a highly respected defensive force and offensive threat, lead to his selection to join other elite NBA players on the 2000 United States Olympic basketball team.

Mourning’s basketball resumé speaks for itself. He was a seven-time All-Star, two-time defensive player of the year, Olympic Gold medalist and a member of the Heat’s 2006 championship team. He played during an era that featured some of the all-time greatest centers in Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson

and Shaquille O’Neal. He was one of the best big men of the last few decades, combining a strong offensive game with a tenacious defensive presence. He went to the All-Star Game seven times, won Defensive Player of the Year twice, and named to the All-NBA First Team in 1999.

Life Changing Kidney Transplant It was 2000 and Mourning was on top of the world. He was the NBA’s defensive player of the year, gold medalist for the USA in the Sydney Olympics, and a proud new father.

Following a routine preseason physical, a phone call from his doctor woke Mourning to stunning news. That news was that he had a rare kidney disorder called focul lumeriosclerosis. It’s a disease that scars and deteriorates the filters in the kidney.

While the news was indeed daunting and left he and his wife with that uncertain feeling about the future, staying strong and positive and learning everything they could about the disease was important.

Armed with knowledge and aided by medication and a positive outlook, Mounring returned to the basketball court five months later. He would go on to play 100 games over the next few seasons. But then while preparing for a team road trip, he got more bad news from his doctor. He could no longer avoid a kidney transplant.

The time has come for him to start the process, finding a donor and getting the procedure done. He found a donor, his distant cousin Jason Cooper, and within a few weeks, he was scheduled for surgery.

Cooper, who gave Mourning his left kidney in 2003, was among the first people Mourning called to invite to the Hall of Fame ceremony. Threet, his foster mother since he was 12 years old and who passed away, was certainly another that was huge

in his life.

Community Has Been Important Mourning is an advocate for youth initiatives and programs that assist youth that are traditionally underserved. He is a sought-after speaker, engaging audiences of all ages and sizes on the importance of education, leadership and perseverance.

Mourning has received numerous honors for his charitable efforts including the Urban League of Greater Miami’s Plaque of Appreciation for Outstanding Dedication, Support, & Commitment in 2010; Haitian American Leadership Coalition’s Unsung Hero Award in 2010; Black Health Magazine’s Black Health Spirit Award in 2010; NBA’s Community Assist Award in 2006 and 2008; NBA’s J. Walter Kennedy Sportsmanship Award in 2002; The Children’s Trust Excellence Award for Public Policy in 2007.

Many Who Deserve The Credit As he stood on the podium, Mourning, 44, never at a loss for words, knew exactly who made his rise to one of the best ever, possible. Heat president Pat Riley, who showed him how to be a professional and the right way to become a champion - on and off the court - was easily a central figure in his life.

His head coach and mentor at Georgetown, John Thompson was a large part in helping him understand that basketball was temporary. He showed him that the life after the sport was over would define you as a person, father and as a

husband. Learning to survive outside the game of basketball because one day was what it’s all about.

Also, Cooper and Threet, who stepped up and never hesitated making a difference in his life. People who never questioned, but always put life into perspective.

As he said in his always lengthy but never forgetting anyone or anything speech: “I’m not going into the Hall of Fame alone,” he explained. “I’m really taking in so many people that helped contribute to my well-being, not just as a professional athlete but as a person. I’m very thankful for the opportunities, and how each of those individuals gave me a piece of themselves throughout my life.”

School Named In His Honor While Mourning’s name has always been popular around the NBA, his work in promoting education was rewarded when the Miami-Dade County School Board voted to name a school in his and wife, Tracy’s honor.

Located in North Miami, Alonzo and Tracy Mourning Sr. High Biscayne Bay Campus is a secondary school which opened August 2009, built two blocks north of Florida International University’s Biscayne Bay Campus. Built to relieve overcrowding at nearby Dr. Michael Krop and North Miami Beach high schools. The school locally serves all or portions of North Miami, North Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach and Golden Beach.

Homemade Beauty Tips

Alan Herrmann - Aventura Digest

The 30 second skin renewal Whether you just need to wake up, or freshen up your skin, here’s the perfect 30-second skin renewal. Place a fresh hand towel under steaming hot water (not boiling—the hottest you get out of your tap is fine), then cover your entire face with it for 30 seconds.

Then use the towel or a warm, wet washcloth to

buff your T-zone area (chin, nose, and forehead).

For a finishing touch, splash cold water all over your face to leave your pores tight and tingling.

Vitamin C You know that vitamin C is a dream immune booster; however it works great as a facial cleanser too. Get one of those vitamin C powders at any grocery/ drug store. Mix 1 ⁄ package with 1 tablespoon water. Scrub onto your skin, leave to dry, and then rinse. You can also add crushed-up vitamin c directly to your facial moisturizer. The vitamin C helps your skin cells produce more collagen—that highly coveted protein some pay top dollar for.

Watch out for overdoing it Over cleansing is a major cause of sensitive

skin, as it strips the skin’s underlying layers of its natural protective properties. Be sure to use a cleanser that is right for your skin type and don’t wash your face too often, if you notice red spots or rough patches, cleanse less regularly or try to apply moisturize rafterward.

Exfoliant Looking for a fabulous age-defying skin treatment? Look no further in your fridge! Milk is nutritious for your insides and your outside: lactic acid works as an exfoliant, and milks amino acids and proteins have a calming effect on red skin. Just dab a bit on the skin with a clean cloth. Stick to fatfree milk for the best results.

Wine up A little red wine is good

for the heart because it contains antioxidants such as resveratrol, which strengths blood vessels and prevents blood clots.

But it is also great for your skin! Add a little red wine to any hydrating face mask and the antioxidants will lend powerful anti-aging properties to the treatment.

Brighten Dull Skin If you find yourself looking in the mirror and thinking your skin looks a bit dull, brighten it up with this easy solution: Wet a washcloth with a solution of one part lemon juice and one part half and half.

Swipe it over your face after your cleanser each day and watch your face glow. (Put the extra in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)

Face work-out routine Tighten that wobbly chin area, push your lips tightly together and make a wide grimace to contract your lower facial muscles.

Hold for 3 seconds and repeat 20x’s a day.

Pore-Shrinker Treatments 1) Here’s a poreshrinking recipe for a homemade toner to apply to your face after washing: In a blender combine a peeled kiwifruit with 11 ⁄ teaspoons lime juice and blend until smooth. Apply

a small amount to the skin with a cotton ball and let dry. Keep the remaining mixture in the fridge in a sealable container for 1-2 weeks. You’ll love the smell almost as much as how great it makes your skin feel!

2) Here’s another super easy homemade toner to shrink to pores and leave your skin clean and smooth: Mix 1/4 cup tomato juice and 1/4 watermelon juice. You can store this one for about 3 days in the fridge.

Acne-Busting?

Quick Fix! Breaking out but don’t have any acne creams in your cabinet? Here’s a quick fix with something you may have on hand instead: Pepto Bismol. (It really works!!) Apply a layer to your face with a cotton ball and leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing off. The acid in the medicine will reduce oils and bacteria on your face.

Must Have Cream You can buy it online or in a health food store or vitamin shops, horse chestnut cream. It’s said to diminish the tiny red veins that appear on your cheeks and nose as you age. Skin becomes thinner and loses some of it’s collagen as you get older, and horse chestnut cream

improves blood circulation and will make those annoying veins almost disappear.

Ciao to those Puffy Eyes 1) To help combat those puffy eyes, place slices of cucumbers on them. Cucumbers have a mild anti-inflammatory action. Make your experience even more enjoyable; keep the cucumber in the fridge until you are ready to use it. The coolness will feel wonderful on your eyelids, and the cold will help further restrict blood vessels, making puffiness go down.

2) If all else fails in your efforts to de-puff those eyes, try frozen spoons.

Put two spoons in the freezer for 5minutes, then roll them slowly back and forth over your eyes until you feel them start to warm up. Make sure your skin is completely dry before you do this, or else you’ll be faced with a whole new problem.

Luscious Lips Break free from that addiction to lip balm with my favorite remedy for chapped lips. Buy a child’s toothbrush with a really soft tip, dip it in Vaseline, and scrub those lips away!

It will get rid of rough patches while moisturizing the rest.

Hope you all enjoyed the homemade beauty tips article.

Treat A Skin Tear With Respect

By Marylynne Newmark, Medical Writer

As we age and lose collagen in the subdermal layers of our skin, we notice how the skin’s outer layer becomes crepelike and tears easily when brushing against a sharp edge. This was the recent case with a patient of mine, who had experienced a skin tear in a rehab just before I met her. Through lack of proper treatment at the rehab and minimal wound care ordered at home, her healing and circulation became compromised.

When I became aware of her pain ten days later, and saw the state of her wound for the first time, I referred her to Dr. Charlton Adler, wound care specialist at both Aventura Hospital and the Memorial System, and accompanied her to her appointment.

Dr. Adler pointed out how the edges of the skin tear had rolled under and new subdermal tissue was beginning to fill in the small cavity left by the tear and showed signs of entrapping the borders of the tear by growing over it. After anesthetizing the site, he gently began softening and restretching the rolled over skin, debrided the new dermal tissue that would have been excess, and surgically

placed the original skin flap over its natural area. He secured the flap with steristrips, covered with Tagaderm and left everything in place for a week to heal undisturbed.

“It’s such a shame,” said Dr. Adler, “If the skin flap would have been placed on its site in the very beginning, the patient would not have been subjected to this pain, and it would have healed by now.”

Wounds, even as superficial as a skin tear, should get professional attention when it comes to the elderly or with diabetics who heal poorly. The body’s healing capacity slows down with age and is complicated with diabetes. A simple skin tear can become infected or compromise circulation, as it did with this patient.

Wounds should be cleaned and treated with an antiinfective cream or spray and covered to avoid contamination.

Dressings should be changed daily unless specialty stay-in-place products are used after aseptic conditions are employed.

And if the wound does not show signs of healing in a few days, please see a wound care specialist like Dr. Adler.

Early professional attention can avoid

unnecessary pain, compromised healing, and a threat to one’s health.

Dr. Adler performs vascular testing right in his office. He prescribes medications and exercise to improve circulation. He works as a team with vascular specialists at Jackson North, the Aventura Wound Center and Kindred Hospital in Hollywood, all facilities where he is on staff and has surgical privileges.

Dr. Charlton Adler has been recognized for his patient and thorough podiatric care for all ankle and foot problems, as well as his limb-saving successes as a team with vascular specialists at Jackson North, the Aventura Wound Center and Kindred Hospital in Hollywood. He has the rare honor of being certified by three prestigious clinical boards: The American Board of Podiatric Surgery, The American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics and Primary

Podiatric Medicine, and he is a Certified Wound Care Specialist.

Dr. Adler’s main office is located at 2390 NE 186th St., North Miami Beach.

The 5 nutritional supplements that should be on everyone’s shopping list (BPT) - Most American’s aren’t consuming enough nutrients from their daily diet.

Only 1 percent of the population meets minimum standards of a balanced diet, according to a paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. A well-chosen supplement can benefit many people, especially those who are dieting, older than age 50, pregnant or following an exercise regimen.

“Many Americans are marginally deficient in one or more vitamins,” says Elizabeth Somer, a registered dietitian and the author of “Eat Your Way to Happiness.” “That means they consume enough to prevent the classic deficiency, but not enough to be optimally nourished. Osteoporosis is a good example. Only getting marginal levels of vitamin D over time can lead to a loss of calcium in your bones until they no longer can support your weight. Yet there are no telltale signs of a problem.”

According to Somer, these five supplements should be on everyone’s shopping list: 1. Multiple vitamin. Nutrients are

supplied as teams in food, so if your diet is low in one nutrient, it’s a sure bet it’s low in others, too. A multiple is a convenient, inexpensive way to supply a balance of nutrients, while avoiding secondary deficiencies that result when you take too much of one nutrient and crowd out another. For quality sake, stick with the major brands or with a product with the USP (U.S. Pharmacopeia) quality seal that guarantees high standards.

2. Calcium and magnesium. You need calcium to keep your bones, skin, nerves and muscles in shape, while magnesium is critical for coping with stress, maintaining a healthy heartbeat and blood pressure. Unless you include at least three servings daily of calcium-rich milk products or fortified soymilk, and lots of magnesium-rich soybeans, nuts and wheat germ, you should supplement these two minerals.

Calcium and magnesium are best absorbed and used when supplied in a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium. You get some of these minerals in your diet, so you only need to fill in the gaps by taking

a supplement with 500 milligrams of calcium and 250 milligrams of magnesium, if your multiple is low in these minerals.

3. DHA omega-3. If you don’t consume at least two servings a week of fatty fish (think salmon, mackerel or herring), then take an omega-3 supplement. You need at least 220 milligrams of the omega-3 DHA, and possibly up to 900 milligrams a day to help support brain health. A recent study from the University of Oxford found that supplementation of 600 milligrams of omega-3s, and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in particular, was associated with longer sleep duration - 58 minutes of more sleep per night - in a subset of children, compared to placebo.

Omega-3s are important for women who are pregnant or nursing. DHA is a building block of a baby’s brain. In fact, 97 percent of the omega-3s found in the

brain is DHA. A vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA from algae can be found in supplement form. Look for the life’s DHA logo on the packaging to know you’re getting a vegetarian source.

4. Vitamin D. If you are an adult and your multi-vitamin or calcium supplement does not have at least 1000 IU of vitamin D, then consider a separate supplement since you can’t get enough from food. Optimal intake is associated with lowered risk for muscle weakness, gum disease, diabetes, insulin resistance, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, hypertension, and certain cancers, including colon, breast, pancreas and prostate cancers.

5. Vitamin E. Vitamin E functions as the main fat-soluble antioxidant, protecting cells, tissues and organs from damage. It also contributes to healthy blood flow by regulating the opening of blood vessels and preventing cholesterol from building up on blood vessel walls.

The research continues to show other roles for this essential nutrient, such as a recent study that showed vitamin E may positively impact functional performance among participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

Before incorporating any supplement into your diet, check with your health care provider. For more information about vitamins and nutrients visit www.vitaminsinmotion.com.

Prostate cancer and bladder leakage: Tips to live a fulfilling lifestyle (BPT) - If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This philosophy is fine when applied to home improvement, but it isn’t a good approach for men’s health and wellness.

Fortunately, in recent years, male health issues like prostate cancer have received greater attention thanks to more men vocalizing how to live life to the fullest through diagnosis,

treatment and recovery.

This is good news given that an average of one in six men will experience prostate cancer, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). In fact, it’s one of the most common cancers in American men, with 233,000 new cases estimated to be diagnosed in 2014 alone.

“A prostate cancer

diagnosis can be difficult for men and their families, but staying positive and being proactive about prostate health can make a big difference in beating the disease and living a full life after remission,” says Dr. Jennifer Berman, urologist and Depend brand health expert.

The relative five-year survival rate is almost 100

percent, according to the ACS. While survival rates are high, many men experience side effects as a result of prostate cancer treatments, including bowel or erectile dysfunction, fertility loss and urinary incontinence, commonly known as bladder leakage.

“Bladder leakage is more common than people think,” says Dr. Berman. “In fact, one in four Americans between the ages of 20 and 85 experience it, so there’s no need to feel embarrassed or alone. It’s important to realize that bladder leakage doesn’t have to hold you back or keep you from doing the things you love.”

Dr. Berman recommends men with bladder leakage have a conversation with their doctor to answer any questions and

find ways to continue living active lives, despite the issue. In addition, she offers six tips for living a fulfilling life with bladder leakage: 1. Make stress reduction a priority. Stress can lead to inflammation in our bodies - especially our bladders. Studies have shown that daily meditation can help relax your mind and body, decreasing the excessive nerve stimulation to the bladder that causes bladder leakage.

2. Commit to a regular exercise routine that includes cardio and strength training. Exercise, especially when focused on the pelvic floor muscles, can improve overall urinary tract health as well as bladder function and control.

3. Try products that

provide a discreet and comfortable fit, like Depend Underwear with Fit-Flex protection, which features more Lycra strands to help give men the freedom and confidence they need every day.

4. A healthy diet can help you prevent or avoid additional loss of bladder control. Steer clear of foods and beverages that are known to irritate the bladder, such as caffeine, alcohol and refined sugars.

A diet rich in leafy green vegetables and fruits will improve your overall health, energy, mood and bladder health.

5. Make time for intimacy.

Sexual activity increases blood flow and nerve stimulation to the pelvic region while improving bladder muscle strength and control.

REAL ESTATE Enjoying retirement in a home suited for an active life (BPT) - When it’s time to retire, do baby boomers just sit back and watch life pass them by? Not anymore. Boomers are known for getting involved in their communities, enjoying the outdoors and starting new - or restarting older - hobbies. They also love spending time with family.

This active lifestyle means boomers don’t want to take care of the large homes they lived in for years while raising children. In fact, they’re ready to downsize, and want to design their homes to be exactly what they need for their retirement years.

Downsizing into a new home - one that can adapt to boomers’ changing needs as well as accommodate their occasional desire to entertain guests is a great way to enjoy retirement in comfort and

style. And with the customizable features available through Clayton Homes, they won’t regret downsizing at all.

Consider the following customizable features available in these homes: • Bragging wall Every parent and grandparent loves to show off photos of their children and grandchildren. A wall designed specifically for hanging photos, awards and other proud mementoes gives parents and grandparents the perfect opportunity to share stories with visitors.

• Handy but hidden entertainment - When friends and family come over, consider how efficient it is to have a built-in cabinet that flips open to serve as a beverage station.

When visitors are not around, tucking the bev-

erage station away into a designated place makes the home more open.

Another customizable feature is a support column that acts as a wine storage cubby with a built-in bench beside it.

• Accessible laundry - Placing laundry facilities close to the bedroom is great for baby boomers.

The space doesn’t need to be large, but sometimes when a small space is designed for laundry, you lose out on those wonderful additional features, such as drying racks. Clayton Homes has alleviated this issue by installing pull-out hanging racks or built-in storage above the machines and off the floor.

• Bedroom luxury Enjoy a home that segregates the master bedroom and bath from the entertaining areas of the

home. One way to make this private space perfect is to install a beauty bar.

It’s a vanity station in the bedroom with a large mirror and chair so one can comfortably prep for the day without constantly standing.

• Fun space - Many retirees finally have the time to enjoy their hobbies to their full potential, and they’ll need to designate a space in their new home to accommodate the activity.

Maybe they’re interested in physical fitness and

need a place for equipment. Sometimes a craft room is required so the grandkids can come over and put their creativity to good use. Entertaining is an option, too, and having a separate room near the kitchen just for those planned gatherings might be exactly what is needed.

By efficiently utilizing living space that is specifically designed for their use, boomers can enjoy their retirement years in a home that is built to suit their new active lifestyles.

Take the hassle out of moving your boxes to a new home

JonathanLorber@keyes.com www.JonathanLorber.keyes.com

(BPT) - Americans are on the move.

More than 35 million Americans moved last year, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. While relocating to a new place is exciting, it also brings its own set of worries, with packing and unpacking topping the list of stressors. With careful planning and organizing, your move can be more celebratory than stressful just follow these tips.

Select super supplies: It’s no secret that high-caliber products produce the best results, so be sure to select good quality supplies to save you hassle, time and money during the moving process. When it comes to your valuables and your memories, don’t take risks - start with new, clean and sturdy boxes rather than relying on old, reused boxes. Make sure you have a variety of sizes on-hand. When sealing boxes, something as simple - and frustrating - as losing the tape end on your packaging tape can waste time and cause unneeded stress. Choose a quality packaging tape, like Duck brand EZ Start packaging tape, which offers Frustration Free technology.

This makes it easy to start with every

use and ensures you never lose the tape end. EZ Start packaging tape is available in clear, as well as a variety of fun prints, meaning it’s also great for organizing. Use it to color-code your boxes, assigning a different print to each room.

Organize, don’t agonize: Packing isn’t just about putting your belongings in boxes and heading on your way. Getting organized at both ends of your move will save you, and anyone helping you, time and hassle once everything arrives to its new destination. Before you pack, think about the must-have items you need to function on a daily basis to ensure you have them within reach. And, create a survival kit of items you’ll need for your first night - this way, you won’t be forced to unpack everything at once. If you already know how you’d like furniture arranged at your new place, create diagrams and written instructions for those helping you unpack. Foresight here will help get your home looking “homey” much faster and prevent helpers from guessing where each item should go.

Have help on hand: While relo-

cating is exciting, it also means a lot of heavy lifting. There’s no need to go it alone. Recruit friends and family to help with packing and unloading on moving day - often the promise of pizza and snacks is the only reward necessary for a hard day’s work. If you want professional assistance, hire a reputable moving company.

Make it easier on helpers by packing boxes smartly. Large boxes with heavy items are difficult to move and have a much greater chance of being dropped, damaging the valuables inside. Instead of cramming many items into one box, pack heavier items, like books, CDs and dishes, in small boxes; light items, like pillows, drapes, clothes and linens, in bigger ones. For extra protection for easyto-break belongings, have some Bubble Wrap cushioning nearby.

Bubble Wrap comes in an array of sizes and formats to help safeguard delicate items. Wrap items bubbleside in for best results. Finally, for ease of organization, clearly label boxes so you know where they go when you arrive. And, consider keeping a detailed list of contents to help keep track of your belongings.
