In my various lists of stuff to bring on a trip, you may have noticed that a snack is almost always mentioned. You may conclude from other comments I’ve made (eat every chance you get) that I have a thing for food. You would probably be right. I love food, and if I don’t eat…
As soon as you start thinking about or listing or practicing creative ways to pack your toiletries, it seems like the tips just start coming out of the woodwork. Everywhere I have gone, lately, I have heard or discovered new clever ways to pack my face creams. Love! I was out to dinner with my…
AT Loft is having a sale on summer items, and everything is under $25. Certainly not all of these are work appropriate, but there are many layering tees and blouses that are anywhere from $10-25 that can be worn all summer. Most are offered in a range of colors. I have been trying really hard…

I would just like to apologize for my infrequent posting over the last week or so. I came down with a nasty case of strep throat last week, and it has slowed me down in more ways than one. I am feeling much better though, so the posts are back on!! Let this be a…
A recent article by Christopher Elliott in MSNBC travel got me thinking. His article states that there are hotels now charging fees, taking a page out of the airline book.
