True bargain shoppers understand the power of the Burlington Coat Factory shoe department.   The shoe deals at this store are out of control.   My Most recent buy was a pair of $20 Dockers boat shoes —similar pairs of these are retailing from $50 to $65.   I’m telling you….. one of the best hidden secrets around.

I am a Pintrest addict. This site has literally changed my life.  It is the most ingenious site to hit the Web since Facebook.  Pintrest allows users to create unlimited visual pinboards for virtually anything. Users can repin items posted by others, or,  can use the “pin it” button (which you download when you signup for the site) which allows a user to pin essentially anything on...

The Rules of Book Club....
A few months ago I received an invite to join a very exclusive, invite-only, monthly book club. In order to join, each member had to agree to the following rules:  1. The first rule of book club is not to talk about book club  2. The second rule of book club is to select classic literature or great American novels.

Though I love scrolling through the pages of Vogue, the clothing is is unrealistic and the price tags are ridiculous.   While I may not be winning any fashion awards, I am quite pleased with the wardrobe pieces I own and at the cost that...

The Slovak Garden...
Hello Cleveland,  I understand that I have similar interests to most senior citizens.  With this being said…. Today I found much enjoyment on my Sunday afternoon Lolly the Trolley scenic city tour.  I’ve been wanting to take one of these tours since I moved here five years ago.  Thanks to the recent buy-one-get-one free ticket offer I snagged on Groupon, that long awaited dream...

Three years ago, at age 25 - (quarter-life crisis)  I started writing down a goal list - a list of my life’s largest and smallest aspirations.  And though I’ve accomplished some, I realized that I’m a gal who stopped living her life to her full potential.  A few things i’ve accomplished: Participated in a Police Class Started a garden...
