Sounds like the tagline for the commercial for that famous company, right? Well, I mean the question to stimulate your thoughts just in case…

Are the Meds in Your Medicine Cabinet Older Than Your Sneakers?

Posted on by Dawn Link Posted in Bathroom, Cleaning, Closet, Medical, Storage

Are you storing medicine in a medicine cabinet? If you answer, “Yes,” you are doing so incorrectly according to experts. It seems that bathrooms are much too humid for medications, and that can affect their efficacy. Rather, store meds in a cool and dry location, such as a closet.
Now, the next logical concern is: Are the meds in your medicine cabinet older than your sneakers? For most of us, we do not know what to keep, what to toss, and how to toss them out even properly, so they just stay put.

Posted on by Dawn Link Posted in Children, College, Education, Gifts

Tis the season of high school graduations. The issue often is, what gift to buy for your favorite graduate? One needs to think beyond the college insignia sweatshirt. We used to depend on the old standbys: Wallets? No, today’s grads do not carry cash or credit cards; they likely pay by cell phone. Briefcases? Seriously? Watch? Buy one only if it is an Apple watch. Perhaps a new laptop case instead? Planner/calendars? Well, there is an app for that.

Posted on by Dawn Link Posted in Downsizing, Gifts, Holidays, Home

I would like to share with you an article from the Washington Post which extols about the need to buy less stuff.
