Three Fashion Tips to Jumpstart Your New Year Style!
I gave up on New Year resolutions a long time ago. I got tired of feeling badly when I didn’t do what I said I would do. Since then I have learned that it’s all about me and not about the expectations of others or the time of year. By now, most people have either made their New Year resolutions or have cynically (or just indifferently) poo-poo’ed them as a waste time. It seems that... (posted by Ginger 1 year 147 days ago.)

Stop Comparing Your Body
As a teenager, going to the beach was an ordeal for me on many levels. First of all, I’m white as white can be and so, while my friends basked in the sun all day, I’d be burned to a crisp within about 30 minutes. But, that wasn’t all… While I was sitting on the blanket wrapped in several towels, a sweatshirt, and a hat, I’d watch the other women sun bathers... (posted by Ginger 1 year 151 days ago.)

Get Your Popcorn & Style Advice at the Movies
I am addicted to the Hallmark Channel. I admit it! Don't give me violence, angst and heartbreaking suffering, and especially don't make me watch the news. I won't have any of it. Instead, give me a bowl of popcorn and corny movies with happy endings. This time of year Hallmark runs sappy movies almost non-stop, and I love it. We sit in front of the fire with the kitties piled on the couch with us, drink... (posted by Ginger 1 year 176 days ago.)

Are You Having a Bad Hair Day?
Some mornings I look in the mirror and feel like I look about a 100 years old. I have learned that frowning at myself or analyzing every inch of my face in a magnified mirror does not make things better (only worse!), and a big smile always perks me up (at least temporarily). I also know that how my hair looks can bolster my self-esteem or deflate my ego in about 5 seconds. That could account for my lifelong love of... (posted by Ginger 1 year 176 days ago.)

New Trend: Global Warming Style!
As the temperatures dip into the 40's and months of cold weather loom before us you'd think (or is it just me?) that people would be reaching for their sweaters and warm clothes? Well, reach all you want because long sleeves seem to have gone the way of the wooly mammoths! It makes no sense to me. Sure we had a warmer than usual summer but last winter was no walk in the park here in bitterly cold, snowy, windy New... (posted by Ginger 1 year 207 days ago.)

Spend Your Fashion Dollars Wisely – Create a Signature Style
The desire to look good does not fluctuate with the economy. Through good times and bad it is human nature to want to feel good about how you look. Resources might change but desire does not (in fact it might even get stronger when times are tough!). No matter what your circumstances, it is also a good thing to periodically take an honest look at your wardrobe to determine if it's working... (posted by Ginger 1 year 207 days ago.)
