Happy Monday, ladies!
Home stretch to the holidays. Can you taste a complete and total rest in your near future? Even if you have just a few days off between Christmas and New Year’s, I challenge you to maximize them. And when I mean maximize them, I mean, can you challenge yourself to a complete and total unplug? Can you challenge yourself to actually rest? Maybe stay in bed and watch movies with the fam till noon? I challenge you to STOP this holiday season.

I decided to share this because, well, it’s the holidays. Enough said.
I can’t imagine I am the only woman over 50, not married or in a serious relationship, that has been told by some well-meaning friend that it would be so good for me to find someone.
Find someone?
Is there a specific spot that I should look? Is there a lost and found pile that I can dig through to see if someone in there belongs to me? Perhaps there’s a room full of eligible smart kind men in a building somewhere I can’t locate. Of course I am kidding. I know people are well-intentioned when they say it.
I absolutely love today’s post which comes courtesy of Happify.
The study reported that kids with nurturing moms have 10% bigger brains, and other interesting facts.
Enjoy this.
Good morning and Happy Monday! I’m sitting in my office, I hear the lovely birds chirping outside, but it’s dark and dreary out my window, and honestly not very good for the mojo. However, it’s also the second night of Chanukah and 18 days until Christmas! Yup it’s that fun and frenetic time of year.
We have never done a holiday gift guide, but many of you have asked if we will be posting a gift guide this year. This is a women’s lifestyle blog after all, so I decided that might be a great idea! In the end, I said yes, and today we will post some fun women’s lifestyle items. This post is unsponsored with zero affiliation links and purely just items I love for holiday gift-giving!
Here we go, WomenOnTheFence.com’s 2015 Holiday Gift Guide:
Sometimes you need to take a step back in order to have the courage to walk forward and get what you want. In the case of one woman Sandy (not her real name), she took a six-month break from her marriage and it not only gave her the space she needed, it gave her the marriage she wanted…. a saved marriage.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, there is no doubt that you’ve read about the mass shooting yesterday in San Bernardino.
And while everyone seems to be weighing in on social media, updates like: ‘Guns don’t kill people, people kill people,’ or ‘#GunControlNow,’ whatever side of the fence you’re on, this isn’t black and white concept. Especially when reports of “possible terrorism” are added to the mix.
I did however, come across something I wanted to share. I was given permission by my friend Andrea Syrtash to share her Facebook status update. Andrea is a Canadian living in the United States. Amidst a lot of misinformation, it was refreshing to see the facts.
Hi Girlies,
Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend. It’s December tomorrow. December, people!! When did THAT happen?
Beside beautiful falling snow, winter often brings something entirely different — flu season! In fact, my family’s skin has already faded from golden brown (summer lovin’) to pale white to green-like. You can feel the winter chill in the air fast approaching. We slacked off with our health regime all summer long, because we had the benefits of natural sunlight, the great outdoors, and we ate a ton of fruit. However, with a bunch of kids packed into close quarters at school, for hours on end, it’s only a matter of time before everyone is sick again.
Happy Thanksgiving to my friends south of the border! Hope you are enjoying good quality time with your friends and family.
Truth is, there’s no better place to stock up on the greatest office party, holiday season and New Year’s party attire AND gifts than the store on every main street and in every mall across Canada, and online at LeChateau.com.
With American Thanksgiving this week and the Holiday season just around the corner, this time of year is all about festivities and joy. I wanted to draw your attention today to something that Aeroplan is doing that is really exciting. For those that might not remember, I have proudly been Aeroplan’s Brand Ambassador for over two years now. And why would I not be proud? I’ve been a loyal member of this program for over TWENTY YEARS!
If you don’t know how it works, it’s simple: sign up for an Aeroplan number, accumulate miles, and redeem them for practically anything you’d want! Beside redeeming miles for Flights around the world, Car rentals and Hotel stays, Aeroplan also has 12 categories where you can also redeem: Activities & Entertainment, Fashion & Accessories, Eco-Friendly, Electronics, Gift Cards & Ideas, Health & Wellness, Home & Garden, Luggage & Totes, Media & More, Sports & Outdoors, Travel & Getaways and Money Can’t Buy.
It was announced yesterday. Your Sexiest Man Alive 2015 is… drumroll… David Beckham.
Ladies, ladies, what say you?
I’m not on the fence here… he is not unsexy, per se. He is quite handsome. I’ll give you that.
But I said last year, maybe I’m still living in the past, but this was the Sexiest Man Alive EVER for moi.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
