RSSFor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Take Preventative Measures
I’d like to take this moment to highlight the upcoming month of October. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and for all you women out there, I dedicate this blog to you.
To prevent breast cancer, it is important to stay healthy. Make sure to get plenty of physical fitness. If this means getting outside and going for a walk every day, attending yoga classes, riding your bike to work, or joining the gym, you are certainly taking measures to stay active and prevent breast cancer. Every day you should do something active. This doesn’t mean you have to take a visit to the gym every day, but you should get out of your work chair every now and again to stretch, go for a walk, and take the stairs. It’s good for you, it makes you look fit, and it helps to prevent
With Autumn Comes Sleek Designs at Reasonable Prices
Almost a week after Fashion’s Night Out, images of Anna Wintour, runway models sporting Autumn’s latest fashions, and front-row sitting celebrities are still upon us. Just today, the cover of my New York Times has four, full-coloured photos of sleek models clad in Fall’s haute couture.
While animal prints seem to be quite the craze, there also seems to be an awful lot of models dawning sleek, black clothes- clothes with interesting cuts and twists and tucks. It seems that Manhattanites and fashionistas dig the trend too. Many front-rowers wore sleek black dresses, leggings, and jackets, emphasizing the fact that their location is, indeed, Manhattan. And everyone does indeed look stunning.
Needless to say, I’m feeling inspired to shop clothes. But it leaves me
Dust Off Your Digital Pictures with Snapfish
I probably have at least 400 pictures on my digital camera, and they will most likely stay there, lonely and collecting digital dust. Why is that? Pictures are meant to be tangible, or at the very least, be on display to be admired. They shouldn’t be trapped in a little box where most of them will be forgotten. While I was going through my old closet at my parents’ house recently, I found all of my pictures from high school. Loads of them! Actual pictures of all my friends on glossy photo paper. I was thinking about how weird it must be for high school students these days. How the times have changed.
I started to feel bad for this year’s senior class and thought about how they probably just have their memories in a file on Facebook somewhere. How sad. I asked my
Stretch Out That Pool Season!
Most people associate pools with only summer. But, weather permitting, swimming pools can be enjoyed through Indian Summer and well into fall in many areas around the country. The only caveat about mixing pools and autumn is the amount of time you’ll spend skimming leaves!
You pool owners know what I mean—one stiff September breeze, and suddenly that placid blue glassy surface is covered in gross yard debris! This is why a pool cover is an imperative tool in getting the most and best of your pool. Come this time of year, a cover not only helps retain the precious heat during those ever-shortening days, but it saves you the headache and annoyance of having to skim and clean filters every day.
I grew up with a large in-ground pool in Massachusetts, and the cover bought us
Getting Away for Labor Day
As I sit here at my desk searching images of Greece, Cozumel, and Belize, I, probably in dire need of some serious eye candy, or, perhaps living vicariously through the smiley, dancing people in the pictures, realize that just around the corner is (thank God!) Labor Day weekend. Though the celebrated weekend may not allow quite enough time for a holiday in Crete, it may be the perfect opportunity to book a last minute flight to somewhere closer (and cheaper).
There are many options and difficult decisions to be made. Do I want to be in a city where there is endless nightlife and restaurants on every block? There is, of course, San Francisco. The Bay area is lovely during the end of summer: the air is soft and breezy, trolley cars are coasting up and down the steep hills,
