Can you believe that Thanksgiving is a mere 4 days away? How quickly time flies! Weren’t we just complaining about how hot it was this summer?
I am thankful for so many things this November, though. I thought I’d list a few for you…
I am thankful that the election is O-V-E-R. Whatever...

Do you remember as a kid when the huge JCPenney catalog would come in the mail right before Christmas?
I can vividly recall meticulously paging through circling all of my “most wanted” toys to show to my parents.
My kids would do the same thing with the Toys R Us flyers. I would find pictures...

Are you in a style rut?
I feel it. And, it’s a dangerous thing. The last time I felt this way, I cut the length of my hair from my shoulders to my chin (then cried for approximately six months, give or take).

Change the season, change the closet
With cooler weather, time to put away those summer fashions
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Fall is my favorite season!
But, there is always a damper to the start of the season with the dreaded “CHANGING OF THE CLOSET”.

Walking around a cosmetic store is a little slice of heaven.
But, I also purchase a good deal of my products at the drugstore or supermarket.
