If you know someone who is looking for an acne treatment, I hope they find something that works. Our daughter used Proactive when she was a teenager, and it didn’t work for her. She tried it for a while and finally quit using it. In fact, she tried several different things. In her case, going to a dermatologist worked best for her. Everyone has to find what works for them.

Meg from The Bargain Queen has some really cute tote bags at cheap prices. Meg and I both like totes, and each of us has several tote bags. They’re great for trips and vacations! In fact, I usually take two or three totes on every trip. Check out these fun shopping totes, priced cheap from $10.49 to $14.99.

I know someone who has a horse, and she is so faithful to go to the stables daily to care for it. Her love of horses is contagious, and she is teaching a two-year-old girl how to ride horses. This little girl just happens to be our daughter’s close friend’s little girl. Now this petite, feminine, little blonde haired two-year-old has developed a love for horses. She was scared of them at first, but now she absolutely adores thems! Her mom needs to check out equestrian clothing! Wouldn’t that be cute to see this tiny little girl dressed in riding apparel!

It’s hard to always have good posture while doing all the things we have to do during the day. I think the worst time for me is when I’m sitting at the computer or driving in the car. I really have to concentrate so I don’t slouch.

I’ve thought about a posture corrector before and seriously thought about buying one. Having good posture helps me to breathe deeper, and deep breathing is so important for oxygenating the blood.

My doctor told me on my last visit (she’s such an awesome doctor) that one reason some elderly people can’t get rid of pneumonia is that their rib cage is affected by all the years of slouching. They can’t cough deeply enough like they need to in order to clear their lungs of the congestion. That definitely made me want to work on my posture!

And one of the best fashion tips is to have good posture and “don’t slouch!”

I just read that Old Navy stores’ sales have been down and are responsible for pulling down the overall sales for the three Gap stores: Gap, Old Navy, & Banana Republic. Soon, Old Navy stores may turn into Gap stores. I don’t want Old Navy to go away! We’ve been shopping there for over a decade. It’s a great place to get baby clothes for Baby J, too!

If someone had a little shop, they might be interested in wholesale fashion jewelry. I think it would be fun to have a little “shoppe” that was creative, trendy, and had a little bit of everything: gifts, fresh flowers, jewelry, inspirational books, artistic designs, musical accessories, educational products, healthy foods and snacks, etc. I would have to do a lot of thinking to come up with a creative name for a shop that carried such a vast array of products, though.

If you’re looking for something unique and trendy for baby gifts,then check out Polkadot Patch Baby Boutique. They have fun and funky styles as well as colorful designer styles that are unique. If you’re looking for something with that handmade look, they have unusual handcrafted gifts as well. And they offer the largest selection of colorful unisex baby clothes online which is great if you need a gift and don’t know if the baby is going to be a girl or boy.

I think pregnant women look so cute. Our daughter had some darling maternity clothes, and she just looked precious in them. Of course, she’s precious anyway! There are so many cute maternity clothes available nowadays, and just because someone is pregnant doesn’t mean they can’t be trendy. If you’re looking for some cute and trendy maternity clothes, then I recommend checking out Kiki’s Fashions Maternity.  They’re having a 20% off sale through Feb. 11 on maternity clothes plus they have free shipping on orders over $75.  They really do have cute clothes, and their prices are great.

I just read Meg’s post that the “in color” for spring is going to be green, followed by orange for a close second. So the spring trends are seeing green. And any color of green will work. It doesn’t have to be a specific shade.  I know I have a couple of green T-shirts (one cute lime green one that I bought after Christmas for 75% off), a long-sleeved lime green mock turtleneck top, and a sea green outfit that “C” gave me that I didn’t wear last spring.  I’m not sure why because I often get a compliment on the color of it.  I need to go look and see what else I have hanging in my closet. 

The Bargain Queen has another post about a good bargain. It’s for a purple Isaac Mizrahi camisole for $11.49 on clearance. Color coordinated camisoles are great to wear under button-up shirts. Right now, the colors of camisoles I have are beige, black, and pink, and I’m looking for one more camisole to match specifically with a certain shirt I like to wear.
