If you've ever opened a greeting card and smiled at the endearment inside, you know they make others feel the same. For those special occasions, visit a good card shop, buy 2-3 from each of multiple categories, and file them in a holder on your desk. Put USPS Forever stamps on the envelopes. When someone's birthday or anniversary comes to mind (or comes up in conversation), pull the correct card from your stash and fill it out. Easy-smeasy, job done!
We've heard the benefits of using baking soda to clean around the house, and we've all dumped in half a box when we only needed a fraction of that. Get a set of inexpensive salt shakers (the sort with the large holes in the lid) and fill it with baking soda. You can simply shake out what you need! The journey to clean begins today!
You can find celery at your local market all year long, but as a cool weather crop, January celery will be extra crisp and flavorful. From soups to stews, salads to slaws, cut into a green stalk and crunch away! Your waistline will thank you!
Still hanging onto the stress from the recent holidays? Family time can open old wounds. Here's a way to unwind and heal: Breathe deeply. Stretch your muscles. Clear your mind (meditation, if you wish). Then spend at least 15 minutes doing something you enjoy, even reading a chapter in a new book or sitting on the back porch and watching the clouds. Reconnection with your life ... complete!
January in northern climes can be dreary. Dress up your day by replacing the ordinary! Coffee? Add a dash of spice for extra flavor! Salad for lunch? Sprinkle on bacon bits. That warm coat? Add a red neck wrap! Feeling better and brighter already!
