Tips on Maintaining Positivity for the New Year-2013– Courtesy of Sass Ashe!
Everyone seems to start the New Year out with positivity. There are goals to meet and resolutions to keep, we’ve promised to keep in touch with friends and family after the holidays and we have so much to do to get back to our normal routines. This tends to last for at least a week or two, then suddenly we find that we’re to busy, too stressed and too involved with work and home that we don’t keep that positive momentum going.

For Last Minute Shoppers: Great Ideas that Might Arrive Later or On Time but Make Great Gifts!
It’s the LAST shopping day of the year– Christmas is almost here. While there will be places like drugstores that will be open (and you can find an array of gift cards and gifts within drugstores), I am talking about things that those stores generally won’t have for someone important on your list. However that said, DO walk around these stores that are open (even a Starbucks or a restaurant can sell you gift cards for meals or drinks. Starbucks has their own coffee maker– along with their limited edition Christmas blend coffee!)
