If you do ONE thing this week...

MAIL A CARD TO A FRIEND.

Not an email. Or a text. Actual 'snail' mail. An unexpected card that says you took the time to tell them you are thinking of them.

Anymore I feel like people are too busy to remember the "little" things that mean the most. Things that are so extremely simple and don't cost a lot. Remember the simple joy and excitement of receiving a card in the mail? You’d be sorting through the bills, brochures and junk mail, and there it was. A small greeting from a faraway place.

The best cards are always the ones you never expect. Those little notes of joy that arrive out of the blue. It’s a small, but effective way to bring some happiness into anyone’s day. They are reminders that someone out there is thinking of you. Sending one is a way to tell someone else that you’re thinking of them. Perhaps you've been meaning to say thank you to a friend. Maybe there's an old family friend's relative that is ill. Or maybe you just want to tell an dear friend how much you cherish their friendship.

It takes 5 minutes and $3,50. You have no excuse. ;) Have a fantastic week!

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

FLATFORM SHOES: Yay or Nay?

Yes, you heard right. It’s the flatform, not the platform! The flatform is really just a flat sandal elevated on a platform sole and it's said to be the "IT" shoe for Spring 2011. This geisha-inspired look is basically one of those styles that you either love or you don’t. And it’s another shoe that is trying to compensate for the painful high heels that have been so prevalent in past seasons. Women are asking for change. Women are wanting the height that the high heel gives but without the foot pain associated with them, so the shoe makers and designers are trying to come up with different ways to solve this problem and give women what they want…but in a stylish shoe. Key word - "stylish." I am by no means a fashion guru but these are light years away from stylish in my book. Glamour magazine however seems to think they are. But then again Glamour magazine doesn't always speak to the , around town girl that isn't trying to look avant-garde on a daily ba...
