SHEEX, Inc.I've always been one who enjoys sleeping.  There's nothing worse than feeling drained and tired all day long when you have a mountain of tasks that need to be accomplished.  Thus, I try to create a sleep sanctuary in my bedroom.  One of the things I've noticed that really promotes a great night's sleep is keeping your body temperature in a comfortable range throughout the night.

In order to accomplish this, you must have bedding which is breathable and designed for body temperature control.  SHEEX has created bedding which is specially designed to manage body temperature and keep you dry for the most comfortable, rejuvenating sleep possible.  Keep reading to learn more about their performance sheet sets!

Save TimeWe never seem to have enough time. Whether it is working, spending time with family, exercising or keeping up with household activities, the precious minutes of each day seem to fly by. To help gain back valuable time each day, Gary Cohen, President and CEO of Timex, has developed a list of his Top 10 Ways to Save Time at Home. Saving time at home will allow us to do what we need to do and what we want to do.

1.      Divide & Conquer – Time is precious for all of us, so make the most of your time by developing a list for you, your significant or roommate of weekly things that need to get done around the home.  By using tech gadgets such as smartphones and tablet calendars, you can have reminders sent to you on daily basis to keep your organized so you won’t have household chores and responsibilities back-up.

2.      Smart Eats – Shop smart and save time by making a weekly meal planning chart of meals and prep as much food in advance as possible so they are ready to eat or cook.  This will not only save time on meals each week, but can also help the entire household eat healthier meals by reducing those last minute runs to the take-out restaurant.

This year major merchants have made changes to bring things back under control. Both Sears and Walmart will open at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving night, and Target has instituted a policy to control the number of shoppers allowed through the doors at once.

Oh, how I love the holidays!  The cold, crisp air, fluttering snowflakes, holiday shopping, warm fires, crafts, cookies, Santa, trimming the tree...what's not to love?  I've been lucky enough to have 36 years worth of amazing holiday memories and what's funny is that a simple smell seems to bring most of them back to me in a flash.  The wonderful aroma of coffee...
