There is no such thing as too much chocolate

Are there times in your life when you need to bring a dessert but don't have that much time to put something together? Try making a box brownies mix and then adding this glaze. The glaze makes the brownies taste so much better. My favorite brownie mix is the one with Andes mints.

Glaze:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons butter
2tablespoon light corn syrup
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine chips, butter and syrup in pan over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Spread over brownies.

DSW

I went to DSW to find a good deal on running shoes. I left the store with two cute pairs of shoes but no running shoes. Don't you hate it when that happens?

If you are one of those people who sees a plane flying overhead and thinks "I wish I was on that plane.. wherever it may be going" then this website is for you! TravelZoo.com has a team of travelers dedicated to researching the top 20 deals of the week for travel around the world. It could be a deal for a trendy hotel in NYC or an Egyptian cruise for 12 nights with air. And for those of us not able to have the luxury (or desire) to travel abroad they also have "deals near you" and "last minuet deals" for shows, hotels, restaurants and flights around where you live. Even if I can't afford to actually get any of these deals right now, a girl can dream right??

Space Saver Tips

Try hanging bags or purses on the back of your doors. This works well in bathrooms with limited space. Bags or large purses are a great place to store curling irons, straighteners, hairdryers ect. The "appliances" are also at easy access behind the door.

Help stop hunger

The free rice website is great for people of all ages. What a wonderful thing to build brain power and help others at the same time. For every answer you get right 10 grains of rice is donated to the UN World Food Program. My personal favorite is the vocabulary game. Warning: It can be addicting! Check out this site at www.freerice.com

Operation Road without the Rage

Road rage is taking over our highways. Honking, cursing, gesturing has become to common of an instinct for most people. The anger people get from driving is not healthy. The stress will eventually link to aging (and no one wants wrinkles early, right?) I admit that sometimes I may get into the other lane a little too soon or without looking, and for that I apologize. On the other side, I have made it my goal to only honk at cars if they are literally about to hit me. And even then I just give a friendly "watch out my car is already here, honk."

A couple weeks ago a car swirved into my lane without looking and I slowed down so they wouldn't hit me. They swirved back over and when I drove by the girl politely waved and gave me a "I'm so sorry-- oops! look." I laughed and kept driving. Now that is my idea of operation road no-rage. Instead of letting it ruin either of our days, we chuckled and moved on.

Try it.
