It's My Birthday! By Karen Salkin
How lucky am I to have my birthday fall on my blog post day? So I get to celebrate myself along with my ClearClub night guard! Yay.
As much as I love my bday, it always seems to be accompanied by a lot of stress. (I'm sure I'm not the only one who experiences that.) First of all, I drive myself crazy over whether or not to have a party. If that answer is yes, then I ruminate over just whom to invite, where to throw it, what the theme should be, what to serve, what to do about music, etc. You know the drill. It's crazy!

Taking Care Of Your Skin by Karen Salkin
As I'm sure so many of you are, as well, I'm so into skin care these days. I want to fully foray back out into the world looking and feeling my best.
And these winter months can be extra-hard on our faces. Besides the drying effects of the weather, we also have more holidays events than usual, which can mean that some of us may wear more face make-up in these four or five weeks than we do the rest of the year!!! So we have to be extra vigilant right now in our skincare routines.

How To Use Your FSA by Karen Salkin
In recent years, I more often than not work for myself. That means that I don't have an outside employer, per se. But I have some good news for those of you who do, (which I'd venture a guess is most of you.)
I actually just became aware of FSAs—Flexible Spending Accounts, which are set-up by your employer so that you can contribute some of your pre-tax dollars to health care expenses. (The maximum this year is $2,750.) What a fabulous perk of working for someone else!
