Thanksgiving, which falls on November 28 this year, has always been one of my favorite holidays. It is a day when families gather together, food is bountiful and, of course, we get to watch some good football and cheer for the Detroit Lions!
The month of November is a time for nesting in, cozying up and celebrating Gratitude, a true time of Thanks-giving. This “Style” column is always written to help women navigate the often-overwhelming journey of “beauty” and “style” with a healthier inner compass of Gratitude, resourcefulness, and dressing with authentic self-expression. This month, we celebrate your natural beauty and everything you!
The day after Thanksgiving is about more than delicious leftover turkey sandwiches – it’s synonymous with the shopping frenzy known as Black Friday. The tradition has become a staple in American culture, marking the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. But how did it all begin, and why do people brave early mornings, long lines and sometimes even chaos for those irresistible deals?
My cooking skills, I will freely admit, are not the greatest. But, I do try! I watch a lot of cooking shows. My favorite is Food Network’s “Chopped” because the contestants are challenged to create an appetizer, main dish (if they survive the first round) and a dessert, all from a basketful of random, and often strange ingredients. This has taught me that you can make just about any tasty meal from the contents of your fridge and cupboards.
Some years ago, I traveled to the French Riviera and explored about as much as possible – it was February, so not much was open. Many of the locals relocate to warmer climes, especially in the villages that mainly cater to tourism in the sunny summertime.

When the price of something rises, allegations of price gouging inevitably surface. Vice President Harris claims that she will “make groceries more affordable by cracking down on price gouging on food.” What exactly is price gouging and what should be done about it? Simply put, price gouging is a meaningless concept and fighting it makes the situation worse.
A few weeks ago, the Harris campaign proposed using price controls to address the high cost of groceries. The cost of groceries is indeed 25% higher than at the start of the pandemic. Addressing this through price controls would be counterproductive and damaging.
October is a special time for pet lovers – who doesn’t love dressing up their fur baby in a cute Halloween costume and posting pics on social media? However, there’s more to this month than spooky celebrations. Since 1981, October has been designated as National Animal Safety and Protection Month, an observance aimed at raising awareness about the humane treatment of all animals.
Biff Tannen, Regina George, Scut Farkus, Johnny Lawrence. If any of those names sound familiar, there is a good reason. They are all famous movie bullies – the antagonists we loved to hate because they tormented our beloved good guys.
When October rolls around, most people think about cooler weather, bonfires, the leaves changing colors, warm spiced drinks, pumpkins and all the trappings of Halloween.
