For many women, as the joy of the holidays fade away and confetti cleanup from New Year's Eve celebrations commences, monetary concerns for the new year ahead might start to set in.
Perhaps you have over spent on your Christmas budget; or, worse you became a redundancy or victim of the crazy economic crunch over the holiday season. Whatever the reason, January is the month when most people start to feel the budget burn. If you're smart, you've followed a strict ...

As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions…or something like that. Don’t let this be the year you let that resolution slide. You can feel stronger, have more energy, etc. and not break the bank. It takes patience, especially in the beginning. Be kind to yourself, listen to your body, and, of course, always check with your doctor first.

It has officially been two months since I’ve embarked on my online dating adventures. How quickly time flies when you’re constantly out to dinner, not sleeping, and trying to keep track of everyone’s life stories, favorite animals and job titles.
In no way is the journey over, but with the holidays and new year (and pending subscription renewal) just around the corner, it seems like an appropriate time to reflect on my experiences and reference points thus far.

Dear Santa,
I have been a very good girl this year. I drank/partook of recreational drugs/sexed responsibly, I embraced and supported my fellow women through good times and bad, I remembered to bring my own bag to the grocery story at least 80% of the time, and I voted Obama.

Ok, so I don’t have children, have never been married and as such have never been divorced. There you have it, and silly me for writing on divorce and the holidays. Except that like scores of post-Leave It To Beaver American families, my own family of origin fell pray to that sadly normal phenomena called divorce. As if that weren’t enough, we did come close to achieving after school special status – with holiday tension to boot.

If you are still Christmas shopping at this stage, only two sleeps from Jesus’ birthday, then you are probably a man. You are probably also thinking you can slip out to Boots and buy a relatively thoughtless ready made gift. While I personally would be a grateful recipient of the aptly named

No one really jumps at the opportunity to tell someone they’re “just not that into them.”
Consider this scenario: you’re dating two people at once, and naturally, you like them both but for different reasons. Perhaps your personality clicks insanely well with this one guy – providing you with witty banter, wrinkly lines outlining your lips because you’re always laughing together, and memorable dates all over town – but the physical attraction doesn’t compare to guy #2.

Christmas was a magical time in my childhood. For a girl who spent most of her days in a make-believe world, the month of December was like crossing over to fairy land for a little while. I was lucky to have family--parents and grandparents—who prioritized making Christmas time amazing and special.
My family would decorate the house together--inside and out. From the street it was a Griswold-like confection of colored lights, disembodied Santa heads, and flammable tinsel. Inside ther...
