How Are You Giving Back in 2017???



HOW ARE YOU GIVING BACK FOR 2017? 

How many times have you been to see your hair stylist/ barber this year? How many packages have your mail person secured with a neighbor when you weren't home, or made sure it didn't get wet or damaged? Did you tip your dog walker regularly or baby sitter?

You know where I'm going with these questions don't cha?

Well  service people or people in customer service who make your life a little bit easier all year round, we should recognize them with our giving. Our gratitude should be made evident with more than just a "Thank you Sam" or "Great Job Sue!" **thumbs up***

Five years ago I brought this to my husbands attention about tipping our mail lady ,who does a super job by the way, and he readily agreed becauase he knows like I know the extra effort she puts into knowing her residents.

To add to his giving, he began to tip his barbers as well. We would buy coffee and donuts for our building maintenance team, who keeps our grounds and building sparkling. 

I know many of you are just spreading gratuitious JOY all over the place in this season, but if you're not and you want to do something to show your appreciation to your child's teacher, tutor, favorite grocery store clerk, yada, yada, yada, then here are a few ideas:

  1. Try homeade gifts, such as: cookies, fudge, nuts and candy jars
  2. Inexpensive gift cards...i.e. Dunkin Donuts
  3. A holiday wreath or plant with a note attached
Be creative but most of all be thoughtful!

What Will Be Your New Years Resolutions?

It is an age old tradition to aspire to make each year better or greater than the year before. When December rolls around, we begin to rewind our lives in our minds eye to see if we can come up with a NEW plan to undo mistakes made or better ourselves in some way going into the new year. Lists are made, gym memberships are joined, bibles are being dug out of hiding places and don’t forget! We always seem to be diligent about removing toxic people from our lives.   How many of us actually keep with our resolutions? Do they seem to fade out by March of the new year or sooner? Are we putting too many demands on ourselves all at once to achieve a better life? I say to each his own. If making bucket lists or FINALLY joining a gym is something you want to do, then do it! If you’ve created a “New Year, New You” list and only have success with one out of forty, than that is an accomplishment in my book.  Fresh starts and new beginnings  allow us to wipe away the old to ...

Oil Of Olay Total Effects “28 Day” Challenge || Review 👍🏾👎🏾

One of my favorite YouTube influencers announced a challenge to try out the Oil of Olay Total Effects 7 in One Anti Aging Moisturizer last December. I know, I know, I’m kinda late with the review but better late than never, right??? Anyhoo, I decided to take the challenge and purchased my product off of Amazon immediately. I say immediately because for one: it was an immediate reaction to this challenge and two: I had been looking for a decent moisturizer because my skin suffers badly from excessive dryness in the winter. The Summer months? Forget about it. I get severe sunburn on my face and arms and the residual damage lasts well into Winter most times. So, I received my product in three days and only began to apply at night before bedtime. First let’s talk about the texture of the moisturizer. It’s whippy (if that’s even a word) and smooth upon dispensing. The bottle says it’s fragrance free which I take it to mean there aren’t any perfumes added to the product (which is a plu...
