This is a TV Segment taped for the LiveWell Network Show DEALS. This is the write up that went long with the video from the Live Well Network – Deals Show! Using expensive beauty products can be like washing money down the drain.

Vote Now or Forever Hold Your Peace I can’t recall my parents ever discussing politics when I was a child other than complaining about their hard-earned money going to the government in the form of taxes. Maybe I just wasn’t listening, but I don’t remember feeling particularly pushed to exercise my right to vote when I turned 18. I’m not sure where my desire to partake in the ability to

Pretty and PracticalI love accessorizing! I don’t feel fully dressed without a bit of bling. The problem is what to do with all of those cute necklaces, bracelets, and earrings to keep them in sight and organized. After finding a perfect spot in my closet for displaying my costume jewelry, I covered 12×12 adhesive cork tiles with decorative 12×12 scrapbook paper using glue dots and attached the cork tiles to
If Life Gives You Coal, Make Diamonds! “A diamond is a chunk of coal that did really well under pressure.” – Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, and Nobel Prize recipient Whenever I feel stressed, I think of this quote and try to visualize coal turning into diamonds, just like Superman was supposed to be able to do using his incredible strength.

Layering is a trend that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. From jewelry to clothing, pile it on! One of my biggest issues was taming the torrent of tank tops and camis in my wardrobe. My genius solution was to install a swing out towel bar on a wall in my closet. I ordered the towel bar online and installed it using self-drilling drywall anchors with screws and
Ready, Set, Reframe! Turn Negatives into Positives Bad news, unexpected expenses, relationship problems, health issues…All of these things will happen at one point or another, but how do we react when something doesn’t go according to plan? It is very easy to get caught up in a downward spiral of negativity, but isn’t there a better way to deal with disappointment? Of course there is, and it’s called reframing.
This week will be a very busy week. We will have the regular school events to attend plus cheer, volleyball, softball and football games to attend. So needless to say, having a plan for dinner this week will be essential. That way we do not find ourselves running through the drive thru just to grab a quick bite to eat. I will be shopping at HEB this week
Customizing Overalls, Shorts, and Jeans – Great for School Spirit, Homecoming, and More! As I’ve mentioned a time (or two hundred), homecoming is a big deal in Texas.
