The beginning of the year means endless possibilities in terms of travel. As travel lovers, my husband and I like to get away as often as possible with and without the kids – though it’s more difficult than ever with the kids growing up and taking on more extracurricular activities that keep us busier than […] More
Just when you think that you can find a little relief from shopping for meaningful gifts now that the holidays are over, you remember that it’s almost Valentine’s Day. It’s cliché; I know. I love Valentine’s Day. I always have, and I always will. Despite being married for almost 11 years and together 14 years, […] More
It was all the way back in 1878 that January white sales became a thing. Long before the internet, online shopping and the desire to revamp master bedrooms and deck out children’s rooms in the chicest fashions every season, a man by the name of John Wanamaker, department store owner and businessman, decided that it […] More
Building a business takes time; something many people tend to forget or ignore when they hit the ground running with a genius idea. It takes money, time, effort and it takes a lot of patience to build a business and a brand, to bring in customers or clients, to engage the community and to build […] More
Achieving airline elite status is a big deal; you’re the best of the best and you get a few perks and rewards that only those within the same level of elite status are eligible to receive. Unfortunately, the best things do not last forever. This means your airline elite status will eventually go away, bring […] More
Keeping track of miles and rewards is a tedious and kind of obsessive job if you have numerous rewards and miles accounts. While not everyone does, there are many of us who have rewards accounts with just about anyone we’ve ever used to travel. I have rewards accounts with JetBlue, Delta, American Airlines, Spirit Airlines, […] More
People who are vastly underpaid probably know that they are being underpaid. They likely know that they are worth more, their time is worth more and their effort is worth more, but they do nothing to negotiate a higher salary more worthy of their time and efforts. It’s a very common occurrence, particularly when it […] More
The cost of caring for your pet has risen more than $2 billion, yes, billion in the past year. Since 2014, we’ve spent more than $2 billion more on our pets; and I’m just going to go ahead and be the one who asks. What on earth are we buying for them? As a former […] More
The day after Christmas is a big shopping day for many. There are those who are just itching to spend the gift cards and cash they were given the day before, others who have things to exchange and return because they don’t fit (or because, ew) and there are those who are looking to receive […] More
College students are making their way back to mom and dad’s for the holiday, complete with all their laundry and the hope that their parents will still buy them gifts to open on Christmas morning. After all, they are poor college students who need their parents to go ahead and buy them all the things […] More
There’s an app for that; no, really, there is an app for just about everything from holiday shopping to parking to finding someone’s mom to cook you dinner because yours is too far away and you’re missing home tonight. All right, maybe that last one is a bit of a stretch, but you get the […] More
Anyone willing to come up with a (legal) way to reduce workplace stress for the millions of people who head into an office every single day, they’d be instant gazillionaires; because we’d all be buying it. My husband loves his career, but he still comes home stressed and overwhelmed many evenings. His plate is too […] More
