I’m dreaming of Florida

It’s cold today and I can’t think of a better place to be (today) than Florida. And that’s why this literally jumped off the page at me. It’s going on my wish list. Hey, I’m being frugal. I could have picked something a whole lot more expensive.

Taking Jewelry on Vacation

I never take my expensive jewelry with me when I go on vacation… same goes for my watch. That’s just asking for it to be left on a hotel nightstand… been there and done that. So, now I simply take jewellery that I won’t mind losing… and it’s the bare minimum at that. For me that means a watch and one pair of earrings and that means, the cheapest I own. To date, it’s been a good rule of thumb. I can’t believe some of the women I have seen while on vacation. It looks as if they are wearing their jewelry box!

Do You Have a Spiral Staircase??

Don’t choose a home with a spiral staircase in the centre of the house. We did just that and have had nothing but bad luck with the house. It’s a Feng Shui thing from what I’ve been reading. Didn’t quite understand it but it said something to the effect of boring through the heart of the home.

 

And it doesn’t help when you are trying to sell your house either!

Sock Drawer Time

With any luck, you received socks for Christmas, so this is the perfect time to go through you sock drawer and get rid of anything that have holes or is missing a mate. We tend to hold onto hosiery that has long outlived its usefulness so now’s the time to start fresh.

**And if you didn’t receive socks for Christmas and you needed some… who’s fault is that? Make it easy on everyone next year by adding the request to your Christmas list. You receive a fresh supply that will cost you nothing and everyone’s happy!

*Your First Toner

Question:What is a toner and why would I want to use one?

Answer: A toner is a product that you use after cleansing. Applied with a cotton ball, it picks up the last trace of cleanser you might have missed and leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean before you apply your moisturizer. If you have never used a toner, you might want to start off with a plain bottle of Witch Hazel. You can find it at any drugstore. It does a good job and the price is something you will like as well.
