Make Your New Year’s Resolutions Stick

Why is maintaining New Year’s resolutions so damn hard? Researchers have ID'd several culprits, such as setting a goal that's too vague (I’m going to get healthy –what does that even mean?) or unrealistic (I’m going to lose 10 pounds a month – really?). But perhaps the biggest challenge is turning your wishes into immediate action, and sticking to it.   Try using some of these tips from Health Magazine, […]

Remodeling Your Kitchen? Don’t Do These 2 Things

Kitchen Islands.  It may sound like heresy, but major kitchen designers are all saying the same thing: don’t put in an island in your kitchen.  But isn't the island sort of ultimate #kitchengoals?  Well, maybe not so much anymore.   “They’re bulky and often don’t provide adequate storage space; plus, they’re very easy to bump into in the middle of the night,” says Diana Blaszkiewicz, an associate with TTR Sotheby’s […]

Samsung Takes On Apple and Amazon with New Smart Speaker

Samsung is reportedly planning a “Bixby speaker” to compete with the likes of Apple, Google and Amazon smart home systems.  You may remember that Samsung promised to deliver a Galaxy Home Smart Speaker back in August of 2018, which potentially could have competed against Apple’s HomePod and the Amazon Echo Plus. Now, while we’re still waiting on that “yet to be released” dream, Samsung IS rumored to be ready to […]

Motherless Meats

Plant-based diets are still going strong in 2019, but in a strange new way. Rather than eating meat the traditional style, from an actual four-legged animal, fowl or fish that was “born,” raised, butchered and brought to your local supermarket for cooking and ultimately, consumption, there will be more lab-grown meats and related proteins that will change how you (and very likely self-proclaimed carnivores) experience food.   Here’s how it […]

Fringe Benefits

This is not a trend that will be on the fringe in 2019, as Fringe will take center stage this year. Fringe was everywhere for Spring 2019, whether it be stylishly edging coats, turtlenecks, maxi dresses and pants to being the focus for suede bags and accessories, fringe made everything more festive, funky, and dramatic on the runways. The detail was a rework of classic western style for design houses […]

Not Your Grandmother’s Crochet

Come spring, prepare yourself to shed your heavy knits for see-through styles, as Crocheted fashions will be all the rage in 2019.  Netting, sheer knits, and crochet are the newest way to show a little, or maybe a lot of, skin. While the PVC (clear plastic) trend, spied at both Kate Spade and Sally Lapointe, still remains this year, knitwear is the new way to “dare to bare.” The new […]

Pot, Meet Kettle

As marijuana becomes legal in more jurisdictions in North America (it is currently legal in 33 states, and recreational use has been approved in ten, including Washington DC), research shows there will be a big consumer shift from sodas and beers to hemp and marijuana drinkables in 2019 and beyond.   Before you start giggling uncontrollably and reaching for the munchies, we are talking Cannabidiol or CBD from hemp that […]

Instagram Says, “My Bad”

On December 27, Instagram rolled out a major design change that went over like a lead balloon with users, forcing the popular social media service to immediately pull the plug.   Just what was the change?  Well, it seems that Instagram users want to stay vertical, in their scrolling feature, that is.  Instagram changed their usual up/down scrolling method of viewing content to a horizontal, left/right, sort of “story-like” approach.

Just One Bite

Trying to get your kids to eat healthy can be a battle of wills, but studies show that if you don’t give up, your persistence will pay off. A group of pediatric researchers from the University of Buffalo recently published a paper in the Obesity Reviews that stated if you continually expose infants and children to healthy foods, they will develop healthy eating behaviors.   It’s common for kids to […]
