Hello Everyone,

I can't stand my feet being cold when I'm under the
blankets trying to sleep. And did you know that warm feet
equals better sleep? Wearing socks to bed can help you drift off faster, a recent study shows. Why? Cozy socks dilate blood vessels in the feet, which helps speed up heat loss and lower core body temperature--a key way the body prepares for sleep!

Living here in Chicago the winters can be pretty brutal and
very very cold. Every September I buy about 5 pairs of these fuzzy socks to keep my feet warm and cozy all winter long. And actually I'm wearing a pair right now, the red ones :) Do you and your feet a favor and buy a few.

Hint 1:

Keep cats off indoor planter. Pine cones in an indoor planter will discourage cats from walking in the dirt and digging holes. The pine cones are uncomfortable to their feet. You can pour water directly over the cones and it won't hurt the plants. The plants also get plenty of air.

Hint 2: If you're shopping for new or vintage pearls, make sure you are getting what you pay for.

Here's an easy way to tell if a pearl is real or not, try rubbing two pearls against each other. Real pearls should feel slightly gritty, while fake pearls will feel smooth and slip right off each other.
