Goodwill, Holiday Fashion, High Tea, TV….such fun!

I joined Goodwill SA Marketing Manager, Melissa Mireles, this morning for an appearance on the Saturday morning news! Isn’t Melissa cute…she looks so great after having her second child this past October!

I AM WOMAN!

I AM WOMAN!

When you feel the need to whine about all that is going on around you, just remember, we are women…wired differently…able to multi-task by birthright…unfortunate for men, the poor dears, they just are not designed to handle doing several different jobs all at once!  (OK, be gentle in the comments) My life as a peaceful…

Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear has little patience with people who avoid fashion trends…

Most of us are familiar with Tim Gunn’s favorite phrase, Make It Work!  But, it helps me face challenges all of the time.  Whenever I find myself lamenting over a problem, I will hear that scholarly, kind voice in my head imploring me to MAKE IT WORK! This happened recently when I picked up the…
