LIFE STYLE MAKEOVER.....THE PODCAST...

Look out..... it's coming soon....the podcast.

Hopefully these incredible rain storms have inspired you to:
1. Stay in and snuggle up
2. Have a glass of good wine
3. Read a book
4. Watch a film
5. Get an early start on your Spring cleaning. It's never a bad time to exfoliate.

February 15th is just weeks away. That's the day the department stores and boutiques start receiving and selling their brand new Spring 2008 collections.
My rule of thumb...if you're going to add new pieces to your wardrobe or home be sure to rotate out an old item to make room for the new one(s). Resell your cool pieces at a vintage shop like Wasteland or Crossroads here in L.A. Couture or designer garments can go to hip consignment shops like L.A.'s Entre Nous (be sure to tell Regina that I sent you) on 3rd Street near the Beverly Center or INA in Soho, NYC.

Then again, there's always ebay, if you've read the "for dummies" manual and can navigate your way around that site. Anything you don't sell be sure to "pay it forward" to friends or family. You can also donate to your local Salvation Army or Housing works thrift shops. They'll take pretty much anything you've got to give and it goes to a good cause.

This will help to keep your clutter under control, recycle and/or clothe someone in need.

As my father always used to say...."One man's garbage is another man's gold."
