I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but I simply can’t stand a messy desk and there is nothing worse than being unable to find a pen, pencil or eraser when I need to jot something down. I just can’t work unless I have everything in its place. Maybe it’s just one of my personal quirks, but it definitely helps! And if that’s all it takes to make me more productive… well, I’m that much further ahead!

“According to the Optical Laboratories Association (an eye-wear industry trade association), people go to the sunglasses counter with two questions in mind: “How will the glasses look?” and “Are they dark enough?” You do need to consider these things, but other concerns come into play as well.
Do sunglasses really protect your eyes?
Yes. Think of them as sunscreen for the eyes. They shield your eyes from wind, dust, and drying, as well as UV (ultraviolet) rays, visible light, and glare. Many experts think that lifetime exposure to UV helps cause cataracts and other eye disorders, though there is some controversy about …read more

It’s time to clean out your closet of anything that doesn’t make you feel absolutely gorgeous. I just looked at mine and there are things in there that I don’t even recognize. Why is it that we are drawn to the same items over and over again.
Actually, before I give/toss any item, I’m going to try rotating my wardrobe. When it comes back from the laundry, I’m going to place it at the far left side of my closet so that I will have to work my way toward it. If I come to a piece that I just …read more

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
Epicurus (Greek philosopher, BC 341-270)
Oh, oh… I think that man was writing about me. I should write down that quote and frame it. But I can’t help it… I love shopping! It’s my very favorite fun thing to do.

I really can’t imagine how there are people out there who don’t like shopping?? And especially like this time of year, but I have to admit, Britt and I were at the mall on Thursday (I missed a day!!) and we saw so many women who obviously weren’t having a good time. Now tell me, what is there not to like?? You shop, you have lunch, you shop some more, you have coffee and then you might even decide to go out for dinner to top off the entire night.
But Britt and I were good on Thursday. We actually …read more

I don’t know if I can blame it on all of the shopping I have been doing lately, or it’s the fact that I have been waking up at 3:30 am every morning wide awake!! And this morning is no different, so I decided that I would see if there is something that I could do about them that does not require less shopping.
Well, the first thing that I read was about putting a bag of frozen peas against the area. Yes, that would work lol…, but maybe an cooling eye gel mask with a 15 minute break would work. …read more

I have to admit that I’m not very technically inclined, but after reading this list, I’m worse off than I thought. I didn’t even know that DVDs could do all of this stuff!
“Step 4: Do You Need To Read CD-Rs?
Most DVD players will not read CD-R discs. If you have an absolute requirement to have your DVD player play back these discs, then you will significantly limit your choice in DVD players. Many of the name brand DVD players will not read CD-Rs. Many of the cheaper brand players will.
If CD-R playability …read more

Ours is about seven years old and is noticeably dated, so it’s time to start checking out what is new in the world of digital cameras! Here are a few things to consider…
“There are three basic body styles to consider. The compact or ultra compact digital camera fits inside your shirt pocket. There is a “wow” factor to these cameras, and they are convenient, but you will be paying a premium for the size or lack thereof. The standard camera is bigger, provides better quality for the money, and is usually able to provide all the features that a typical …read more

We all have our bad days, our horrible days and our it-can’t-get-worse-than-this days. A study released last year by the Centers for Disease Control reports that, on average, women experience three and a half sad days each month. While that statistic may seem overly optimistic, that’s almost 12 percent of our lives spent in the doldrums. And, as we all know, those miserable, down-in-the-dumps days can often feel twice as long. So how does one deal? For inspiration, we hit the streets of Hollywood to ask our favorite celebrities how they handle their share of days gone wrong.
Nineteen different celebrities …read more

When you are reading labels on food items… do you believe what they tell you?? I thought that you could pretty much rely on what is on the product, but apparently they can lie their socks off. Wait until you see what this cookie claimed to have in way of fat and calories… and what the truth actually was!
