We found another use for one of our favorite toys. Sure you could use index cards, but this is more fun – and neater! Did you use crib notes when you studied for tests? Index cards with little reminders? Sticky notes? Back in my test taking days, I had a routine when I studied. First…
Something To Try If You’re Having Trouble Sleeping
So many of us are having trouble falling asleep – and staying asleep – during these anxious days. Our bodies and minds are tired. We’re in a heightened state of tension all day – and all night – long. But sleep has become difficult for many of us. Even when we fall asleep, we might…
Quince is Where You Can Get Luxe Products For Better Prices
They don’t have a fancy designer label, but the quality and design are high end. Do you enjoy high quality clothes and home items but don’t feel like paying for someone’s signature?

Garlic and Wine Sauce Pasta with Salmon and Caper Berries
This dinner was created so we could eat caper berries – but they aren’t even necessary! I was having a salad at a restaurant in Israel when I came across something I’d never seen or tasted before. It tasted mostly like a caper, but it was like a caper on steroids! About the size of…
In Search of the Perfect Water Bottle
Is there one perfect option or do you need a different one for different uses? We all know we should probably be drinking more water. Without a conscious effort, I can literally go all day without drinking anything but my morning coffee. But when I fill a large water bottle at the beginning of the…
