Let’s face it, just as all bodies are not created equal, no underwear is created equal. Each lays claim to solve that personal issue one has, ranging from; no more panty lines, to stays where you want it. When I asked friends and family what they look for in their pairs, the majority say comfort but all agree they don’t want to give up on style.

Underwear has come a long way from the blossoming bloomers to the skinny mini thongs and hipsters. Add in the varieties of fabrics ranging from simple cotton to the technological advances of polyester blends and you have yourself a thousand different options to choose from.

There are so many reasons to shop at home these days. Everything from saving money to avoiding crowds. With today’s rising prices and higher stress levels, anything we can do to help cut costs and save on stress is a welcome prospect.

Oftentimes the selections are better, making it easier to find the exact items you are wanting in a matter of seconds. See other styles and colors that may not be apparent on the racks due to low inventories in the store or in your size. Find your size with ease with just a click of a button.

Online stores are open 24 hours. You can shop anytime from anywhere you want making it extremely appealing to do your shopping after the kids go to bed (avoiding the whole peek-a-boo in the shopping racks or hide from mommy games), shop on your lunch hour, first thing in the morning or just between classes.

Everyone can benefit by adopting some stress relief techniques in their daily life. Here are a few that may help you get started:

• Take deep breaths and count to 10. It really works!
• Soak in a tub. This is especially good for when you’re feeling too hot or chilled.
• Play some soothing music. It’s amazing what effects this can have.
• Get cozy and take a nap. Sometimes it’s the best way to let the mind and body rest.
• Meditate on positive thoughts. As soon as negativity enters the mind, tell it it’s not welcome and replace it with the positive. Rinse and Repeat frequently.

Random Acts of Kindness: The phrase “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty” may have been coined by peace activist Anne Herbert. Herbert says she wrote it on a placemat at a Sausalito restaurant in 1982 or 1983.

Simple ideas anyone can do:

• Get a few coworkers together and each week take turns buying a small bouquet of flowers. As a small group find a random someone who’s brightened your day and thank them with the bouquet.
