HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING | November 25, 2010

Thanksgiving is a holiday we celebrate to express gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation to God, family and friends. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and in Canada.

We generally think of Thanksgiving as an American holiday, due to the Pilgrims at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in Massachusetts. This celebration occurred early in the history of what would become one of the original thirteen colonies that later were to become the United States. Thanksgiving was modeled after harvest festivals that were commonplace in … Read More »

Athleta Active Wear | November 25, 2010

On a crisp Tuesday morning in November, I started my day with Vinyasa flow and Athleta active wear at Yoga Sutra in New York City. Athleta’s clothing is strength and beauty without compromise.  Each item guarantees the ultimate performance advantage for your workout whether it’s yoga, aerobics or outdoor activities.  The clothing is practical, but feminine, allowing you flexibility and the utmost comfort.  Not only are these pieces ideal for working out, but also everyday life from running errands to grabbing lunch with friends.

Organizing a Christmas Gift List Before Black Friday | November 24, 2010

I don’t know about you but we don’t have any trees with money growing on them.  I keep looking out our back door but still no money trees.  I know several of you will be shopping on Black Friday.  I would like to back up a bit to make sure that you purchase things that you need and not just because it was a great deal.

So many people have a gift closet or gift tote of over bought presents.  I will tell you I am probably the worst offender when it comes to my boys.  We will make a list, … Read More »

Preparing for Thanksgiving | November 24, 2010

These last couple of weeks have been so busy at Chic Galleria.  I’ve been compiling all the information for the Holiday Gift Guide, getting the newsletter blasts out and trying to focus the website on pre-holiday festivities.  Lucky for me I’ve had several people contribute some great Thanksgiving articles, including holiday recipes.

I don’t cook Thanksgiving dinner.  In fact, I don’t cook at all.  I’ve never really found it to be enjoyable, so I guess I just haven’t ever taken the time to learn.  That being said, I do love to eat and can’t wait … Read More »

Skinny or Flared Jeans? | November 24, 2010

I have gone through two jeans eras. When I was a teen it was highly fashionable to wear massive flares that completely hid your feet. As I matured and went onto university jeans shrank and you had to wear skin-tight skinnys to be fashionable. But now it seems both are acceptable. But which looks best?

Flared jeans look good on most people, whatever their size. With the varying degrees of flare you can adapt them to suit you. If you are petite perhaps you would not want massive flares as they would drown you, but a nice bootcut or … Read More »

Hey, Little Girl | November 24, 2010

Hey! Little Girl
Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don’t think because there’s a ring on your finger
You needn’t try anymore

I remember years ago a new wife telling me, “Why bother?  I’m married now.” I was a kid then, but I recall thinking, “Wow, that’s kind of messed up.” Anyway, it stuck with me, and as I and many of my friends grew up and became wives, I really noticed the trend: once the ring is upon the finger, many women (and men – I’ll get to you fellas in a moment) don’t find it necessary … Read More »
