How Much to Spend on Holiday Presents
The holiday season is almost here. Now, what are you going to get your nieces, nephews, sibling-in-laws, parents and all other members of the extended family? With all the built in excitement of family gatherings comes the fun, yet sometimes stressful, component of gift-giving. A common set of thoughts on all of our minds revolve around how much we should spend on each family member's gift. When it comes to selecting... (posted by Caitlin 2 years 65 days ago.)

How to Take a Compliment
"Oh, I didn't do that good of a job," or "No, I don't look pretty today, are you kidding?" These are pretty common responses to compliments these days. I am not quite sure why a negative way of thinking has crept into our society, but I think we need to get back into the habit of accepting compliments when they come our way. Perhaps you feel you are not deserving of a kind statement, or maybe you feel that the person offering the... (posted by Caitlin 2 years 70 days ago.)

Giving Sincere Compliments
There is just a feeling of satisfaction that comes with brightening someone else's day. There are so many different ways to make someone smile, but one of the easiest ways is to simply give a compliment. We should all strive to give other's credit where credit is due each and every day. Giving a compliment, in its most basic form, means acknowledging someone else's efforts and expressing gratitude for their contribution.... (posted by Caitlin 2 years 76 days ago.)

Don't Get Offended
The other day my husband could tell I was feeling swamped so he offered to cook dinner. I was thrilled at his offer and told him I loved his idea. He then proceeded to tell me, "I'll make you something healthy." Thoughts about how considerate husband is flooded my mind; he obviously had noticed that I don't usually eat the meals I cook for him, since they typically contain the types of fats and carbohydrates I try to avoid. I was... (posted by Caitlin 2 years 90 days ago.)

Proper Refrigeration Techniques
The other day I learned this term known in the food technology world as the "chilling injury." To me, this term means too cold of whether causes physical damage, as is evidenced by my frostbitten toes from a cold winter's night last year. But that is another story. This type of "chilling injury" is actually a type of food damage caused when food is incorrectly stored in the fridge at a temperature that decreases the... (posted by Caitlin 2 years 92 days ago.)

Express Yourself Through Dress
When it comes to new styles and trends this century, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which fashionable styles are right for your body. You may completely rule out certain looks because you are worried a particular style will not suit you. It is important to have diversity in your closet and therefore, ruling out entire chapters within the fashion book is not a recommended idea. Try to have a little bit of...
