Here we are in the last week of May, and June starts on Sunday. Folks, how on earth did we get here? How are we almost six months through the year? I feel like I just packed my Christmas stuff up yesterday. I didn’t, haha, but it feels that way with how fast time is
Personal fragrance comes in many forms and, for my money, is the final touch on any outfit. While I’m a firm believer in having a signature scent, I also think the change of season lends itself to switching out your go-to perfume for a fresh musk to match your warmer-weather looks. Think about it: does
Oh, what a mess! Quick, grab a broom and get to work. There’s dirt here and, ugh, something liquid spilled everywhere. Careful you don’t track it around or you’ll just make it worse. Seems like you’re the source of the mess, and in the new book “Earthly Materials” by Cutter Wood, it’s unpleasant but totally
Call it a difference of opinion. You say one thing, your opponent says another. You thrust and parry, they rant and argue, you both agree amiably, then disagree vehemently. Is there a place you can come together, a consensus on which you can settle? You’ll find it, if you’re patient but, as in the new
Some time ago, I came upon the term hab-dabs in my reading — a perfect candidate for these “weird word” columns. When that happens, I look the word up to make sure it’s official, then add it to my ever-growing list — which currently stands at 2,923. Then this week, when I glanced over that
ARIES – Mar 21-Apr 20 Telling the truth has always come naturally to you, Aries. But tact isn’t always your specialty and sometimes your candor isn’t well-received. Keep that in mind this week. TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 It is time to make peace with someone even if it is the last thing you want
There are no miracles or shortcuts when it comes to healthy eating. Fad diets, supplements, meal replacers, superfoods, and metabolism boosters all come and go. At the end of the day, regardless of your fitness, wellness, or beauty goals, nothing can replace cooking for yourself with whole ingredients for the recommended daily doses of vitamins
Summer is the season of sun-kissed memories – backyard barbecues, sandy beaches, bike rides and late-night stargazing. However, the warmer months bring unique safety challenges that can catch active families off guard if they’re not prepared. From sunburns to scraped knees and dehydration to bug bites, summer’s surprises don’t have to slow you down. With
Certain times of year inspire more travel than others. Memorial Day weekend certainly fits that bill. AAA estimated 44 million people traveled during Memorial Day weekend in 2024, and that popularity is at least in part due to the holiday’s reputation as the unofficial beginning to summer. A Memorial Day weekend getaway can be just
Modern professionals are working more and taking fewer days off each year. Allina Healthcare estimates that more than 765 million vacation days are unused by Americans each year. One of the reasons people often give for not vacationing is that travel costs too much. A 2024 summer travel report from Deloitte Insights found that after
Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. Psalm 51:13 King David and the apostle Paul had one terrible thing in common — they were both murderers. King David murdered Uriah, and Paul murdered Stephen. David didn’t shoot the arrow, and Paul didn’t throw the stone, but both
