10 tips for Weaving the Hottest Runway Trends
"Sears Kenmore has announced the Runway to Washer Sweepstakes celebrating the Kenmore Elite Top-Load High Efficiency Washer/Dryer which custom-blends six different wash motions to ensure the right cleaning and care for your favorite clothes. You can enter for a chance to win the grand prize which includes a Kenmore washer and dryer, a year’s supply of Tide®, and a trip for two to NYC with seats at Thakoon’s show where you’ll meet the designer, and receive items from his collection!"
Enter the Kenmore Runway to Washer Sweepstakes
To promote the sweepstakes, I was asked to post 10 tips for weaving the hottest runway trends into your day-to-day looks. Well, that was difficult for me. As a mom in her 40's, I don't really keep up with the latest fashion trends. But I remember when I did. Try these tips:
1. Look in magazines to see the hottest fashion trends. Many magazines tell where you can get items cheaper. You can be in style without costing an arm and a leg.
2. Read fashion blogs. You can get a lot of info about what is hot right now. Just search "fashion, blog". I read a lot of blogs.
3. Add one new item to an outfit. For example, a stylish scarf can update a suit. Or a new blouse can update a skirt set.
4. Get a pair of boots. They can really update your look. Boots come in many colors and styles. Also there are various heel sizes available.
5. Attend a fashion show to see their latest styles. I suspect that many could be seen on television or the internet.
6. Add some color to your outfit. I like black outfits, but adding some color will brighten your look.
7. My daughter said the "military look" is popular now with camo prints. (At least that is what is popular at her school.)
8. See what the Hollywood "stars" are wearing. They are usually wearing some of the latest fashions.
9. Make sure your clothes are in good repair. Unless you are wearing jeans that are ripped because you bought them that way. ????
10. Don't forget the jewelry. A really cute piece can make an otherwise dull outfit look nice.
The main thing is to be yourself. Granted, you don't want to look like you just stepped out of the 70's, 80's, etc., but you don't have to follow every trend. I hope these tips have helped you think of some ways to find out what are the latest fashions and how to incorporate it into your look.

Teens and Money Management
Everyday I hear about the national debt, financial crisis, bankruptcy, etc. It can become depressing to hear all the bad news.
I am conservative about financial matters (along with other things), so I feel it is important for us to each take responsibility for our own actions. The government needs to be responsible also by reducing spending to decrease the national debt.
Unfortunately bad things can happen through no fault of our own like being laid off. But we can try to be prepared for financial emergencies. One way is to have an emergency fund.
I talk to my kids about money frequently especially when they are asking "Can I have this?" or "Can I have that?" My response is frequently "No, it's not on sale." or "I don't have a coupon for that." Unfortunately, when they have money, many times they "blow it" on candy or junk.
How do you teach your teen about money management? I give mine money as a reward for doing some work like the doing laundry. I don't give them a weekly allowance just for being my child, but I might consider an allowance if they would agree to do chores weekly.
I am looking for ways to teach them to be responsible with money. One option is the PASS card.
The PASS CARD:
PASS is a prepaid reloadable Card parents give to teens or young adults.
Parents load PASS with funds through an American Express Charge or Credit Card or through a bank, such as a checking or savings account.
Teens don’t have to carry large amounts of cash, and if lost or stolen, funds can be replaced.
Unlike credit, this is a prepaid card so there’s no risk of overspending.
An adult, 18 years or older, must register and load PASS online at www.americanexpress.com/pass, after verifying the user is 13 years or older.
PASS can be used virtually anywhere that accepts American Express.
I haven't tried the PASS card yet, but it might be a good option especially if the teen is going somewhere where a credit card is needed.
Do you have any tips for teens and money management? Have you tried the PASS card?
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of American Express and received a gift code to thank me for taking the time to participate.

10 Tips for Stylish Layering Techniques
It is definitely fall where I live. The leaves are a variety of colors, and many have fallen from the trees. The fall reminds me of going to football games when I was in high school. Of course, we weren't there because we cared about football, but it was a great social outing. In the fall I enjoy "weenie roasts" over a campfire and making smores.
But with the cold weather we have to remember to dress warmly. A good way to do that is with layering clothes. That way you can remove a layer if you get too hot. I was to come up with 10 tips for stylish layering techniques for all occasions.
1. Wear a T-shirt under your other clothes. That is one of the basic layering techniques many people use.
2. Wear 2 or 3 layers of socks. I learned that from my brother-in-law who is a deer hunter. He has to keep warm while hunting.
3. Wear a hat and a scarf with your coat. Of course, you can always remove them if needed.
4. Wear long underwear under your clothes. For when it is really cold, a pair of long underwear can keep you very toasty.
5. Wear 2 or 3 shirts. People mainly do that when they have to be out in the cold for a long period of time. You can layer T-shirts or other shirts.
6. Wear a vest. It can add a stylish touch to your outfit. Around Christmas you can find many holiday themed sweater vests that are very cute.
7. Wear a turtleneck shirt. You can wear it alone or under another shirt or sweater.
8. Wear a matching jacket or blazer to top off a great outfit. Fitted jackets can be very slimming.
9. Wear leggings. Many people wear them with a skirt. It is not my style, but it looks cute on younger people.
10.Wear a warm coat. That is the most important part. And don't forget your gloves!
I hope these 10 tips will help keep you warm this winter. Remember you are making memories with your family, so don't forget to have fun!

10 Holiday Survival Tips
Do you ever feel like you just want the holidays to be over? I know many people feel that way. We all know how stressful the holiday season can be. With presents to buy and wrap, cookies to bake, cards to send, decorating to do, etc. we can really miss the meaning of the holidays. Don't you wish you could slow down and focus on the real "Reason for the Season"? I will give you some tips to help.
1. Purchase items online. I buy a lot of things on Black Friday and Cyber Monday online. Amazon always has sales those days. Many other stores have great specials on those days.
2. Wrap presents as you go. It is helpful if you wrap a little at a time. I feel really rushed when I have a lot of wrapping to do at the end. If you wrap a little each day, you won't have to do it all at the end.
3. Prepare some items ahead of time. My mom was working on her cranberry salad last week. She freezes it until Thanksgiving, and that is one less thing to worry about.
4. Purchase items at sales before the Christmas season. That way you don't have to do all your shopping at the end. I buy for Christmas throughout the year.
5. Cut back on buying. For example if you exchange gifts with extended family or friends, set an amount like $25 per gift. That way you know you are spending the right amount.
6. Exchange names instead of buying for everyone on your list. My sister has been wanting to do that, but I have been reluctant because I love to buy for all my nieces and nephews. But it would certainly save a lot of time shopping and wrapping, and it would save money.
7. Cut back on decorating the house. I mean really, how many lights do you need? For those that love decorating, that is great. But if it is just another task you feel you have to do, cut back on the decorations. Remember when Jesus was born, there were no fancy decorations.
8. Cut back on your Christmas card list. If you haven't received a card from someone in years, then scratch their name off your list. For people you see frequently, you could just hand them the card thus saving on postage and finding all those addresses.
9. Share the responsibilities. If you are married, your spouse can help with decorating or wrapping, etc. Don't forget to include your kids in the fun. Let them help you bake cookies.
10. Focus on enjoying the time with your family and friends. You are making memories. Years from now your children may not remember exactly what they got for Christmas, but they will remember the fun times together.
I hope these tips were helpful to make your life easier during the holidays.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central on behalf of Nature Made and received the products necessary to facilitate my review and giveaway.

Listerine/Reach Oral Care Challenge
We received a variety of LISTERINE and REACH products. For the tour my kids and I were to brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash twice a day for three weeks.
Well, like usual, I had to nag my kids to get them to do it twice a day. Once I got them in there, they liked it. My kids' favorite was the Listerine Agent Cool Blue Pre-Brush Rinse. It turned their teeth blue and showed them where to concentrate their brushing. They also liked the taste.
I like reach toothbrushes. My mouth felt very clean. I feel if we keep this up, we will get great reports at our next dentist visits.
The makers of LISTERINE and REACH have also teamed up with America's Toothfairy to launch "Trick or Treat for America's Toothfairy," a campaign to raise awareness of pediatric dental disease and help provide life changing care to underserved children. For a minimum $10 tax-deductible donation, America’s Toothfairy will send your child a personalized letter that emphasizes the importance of oral hygiene.
