Water. Plain old H2O. We know those iced mango tropical fruity iced beverages make your tongue sweat. But for your insides and out, water really is the sweetest drink to down.

It's hard to stay hydrated, especially in sweltering summer heat. Take these Tiza tips on how to sneak water into your diet.

-Keep a water bottle handy. Toss it in your purse when on the go. Just like lipstick: go no where without it.

-Never ever wait to drink water until you feel thirsty. By this time, your body is already begging for liquid.

-Drink a glass first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Make it routine, especially if you're used to caffeine.

-Always ask for H20 at restaurants. Match every soda you drink with a glass of water.

-Snack on foods like watermelon--which is pretty much like eating water...and a little melon.

-If water bores you, jazz it up. Add lemon and lime, strawberries slices, or cucumber to your water for an extra tasty zip.

Drink up and shop on!

Imagine: tonight you have a seven-course meal on a candlelit cruise ship deck. But your dress is 2,000 miles away hanging lonely in your closet.

Are you properly packed for summer vacation? From cruises to weekend getaways, a black tie affair can pop up anywhere and leave you with nothing to wear--especially when dressing from a suit case. Best to be prepared with at least one sexy dress. Some pre-packing tips to ponder before you hop on a jet plane...

Heading to a resort? Planned dances and swanky events are common at resorts like those along the Yucatan Peninsula and on tourist-frequented islands. For a cocktail and a beachside string quartet, you'll wanna wear more than a bikini.

Think light. Choose a dress that's highly compactable and easily folds without damage. Sequins could easily be smashed when tossed around in luggage. Go for a silky chiffon and single layers to save room in your bag.

Make sure the dress can go anywhere and meet anyone. Choose something to pack that you'll feel comfortable in if you meet a rock star or a U.S. diplomat. You never know who's in the condo next door.

Going abroad? Check on temperatures and trends going on in the region. A little Internet research could save you a sweat and keep you looking hot in those Barcelona clubs.

Remember climate. Mountains don't do super tight miniskirts. And a beach is no place for a ball gown. A long slinky gown in a safe print or solid color can go both places. Floral prints work great for the beach, of course.

Finally, think about tan lines, and don't forget your heels!

For a gal on the go, it's best to be prepared. This summer, look your best in every time zone.
