I have been so discombobulated this month, and I have no idea why! I was bound and determined Valentine’s Day was on a Thursday. Do you ever get something solidly in your head, and you are so very wrong? Luckily, something clicked for me because I realized this was the third week of the month! …
Shopping my closet… This past month was a true anomaly for me. I bought only two things, and I’m returning one of them! One of the reasons is I have plenty of clothes. I’ve decided to try to create new outfits with the individual items rather than just repeating what I wore before. Shopping lately… …
Raise your hand if you knew today was Pay a Compliment Day! Bonus points if you didn’t google it like I did! How are you at receiving compliments? I am not very good at it. My first inclination is to just brush it off. My second is to think, “Why did I do that?” Why …
Last month, I wrote I doubted we would have a white Christmas! Boy, was I wrong! We didn’t get huge amounts of snow, but we did drop right into the negative temperatures and stayed there for a bit. I hope all of you are well, had an amazing holiday season (whichever you celebrate or not), …

“Here to Forever” Happy Boxing Day! Don’t know what that is? I wrote a post about it (here). I know many of you are probably still in the midst of holiday celebrations! We had an amazing Christmas weekend. My youngest son went to Christmas Eve services with me. On Christmas Day, everyone was over in …
Are you finished with your holiday shopping? Guess who isn’t? I have a lot to buy yet and no clue for some of my people! Well, according to the calendar, December is into its third week! It’s been cool here so I’m not holding my breath for a white Christmas. Will you have one where …
Several years ago, Nikkie of Nikkie Tutorials fame produced a video entitled “The Power of Makeup.” If you haven’t seen it, I’ve posted it below. Go ahead and watch; I’ll wait. It’s pretty amazing, right? I loved her comment about people approaching her and denying to her face that it was her in the photos! …
And Cyber Monday, too.. I bet you’d be surprised to learn that, originally, Black Friday had absolutely nothing to do with shopping! It referred to the change of color in retailers’ ledgers. It was first used in…wait for it…1869!! That year saw a financial crisis when the US’s gold standard tanked. Most stores were “in …
