BEAUTY IS A LIFESTYLE THING

photo credit: Pinterest Happy New Year! Happy New You! The biggest conversation everyone is having is about your resolutions. What will your goals be? What will you do in this new year?  So you set the goals, you'll write the long list of what you'll try to accomplish.

The imposter company is stealing credit card/identity information from people. Please make sure this Christmas season and all through the rest of the year that you only give information and make purchases through safe sites. It is unfortunate each year, especially during Christmas, when people have open hearts and want to give gifts to loved ones and then one hears of these type scams and it ruins people

The tree is up. Now that Thanksgiving is officially over, it's time for us to get ready for Christmas. I don't know about your house but we dress our house up, which includes the mantle, the Christmas trees, and the outside. The hardest part is dragging everything up from the nether regions of the basement dungeon. I hope everyone has a built-in teenager that will substitute for the moving men that are needed to make this all happen, and thank goodness I do! I'm going to do a little mini-series on decor and small crafts that are not only easy but inexpensive and make a huge impact. I am slowly taking my decorating to a lower level. My time is always limited and I will be culling my decorations this year and I will be donating some of the things that I no longer need.
