Wear a scarf

It's probably a good idea to wear a scarf around your neck when it's cold out. I know that scarves are really popular now, but it sure makes a difference in keeping yourself warm in the winter when you wrap a scarf around your neck. It's almost like a wearing a security blanket.

To organize your jewelry

It's probably a good idea to organize your jewelry if you have a lot. Mine is all costume, but I have a lot and it was really hard to find in a jewelry box and took me forever to sort it all out. However, I found the best organizers at T.J. Maxx that have many see through plastic pockets and they have different sizes so you can put all earrings in one and necklaces, etc. in others. Then it hangs up in the closet and is readily available to pull out when getting dressed. I have 4! I know... I shop way too much!

#9- Color your hair when it looks like a bald spot

It's probably a good idea to color your hair when the back of your head looks like it has a bald spot. Not many people have had the courage to tell me this, and my husband doesn't count. However, a number of years ago I was due for a color and I definitely knew it was so when a 4th grade student commented on the bald spot on the back of my head. Not what you want to hear. So every 3 1/2 weeks it's me and L'Oreal!

#8- Let someone ahead of you in line

It's probably a good idea to let someone ahead of you in line in the store and in the carline. When in a store I try to be aware if the person in back of me only has one item as opposed to the many I have and ask them to go ahead of me. It's the same thing when you see someone in their car trying to get back out into the street and no one is letting them in. Or even when someone has their turn signal on and is trying to switch lanes, why not let them in. I have found that this kindness is often repaid to me. Call it karma, situational awareness, or just doing what's right.

#7 - Carry an umbrella & a scraper in your car

It's probably a good idea to always carry an umbrella (or 2) in your car. You never know when it's going to pour down rain. Choose something with a fun pattern and it will make the rain more cheerful, plus it's nice to have one to share.

On another note, if you're renting a car and are in snow country in the winter, check to make sure they've included a window scraper for snow and ice in the car. Unfortunately, I didn't discover this in time this month back in PA when the storm began. Borrowing a broom can help, but is a little awkward.

#6 - Take recycled bags to all stores

It's probably a good idea to take your recycle bags to all stores and not just one like Trader Joe's. In some stores they charge you for plastic bags, however, the main point is to recycle. Even if the store gives you a plastic bag, recycle it at home. Put it in your wastebaskets or like my son does, clean up dog droppings. (Gross I know, put serves the purpose and your feet!)

#5 - Take the garbage out before the truck comes

It's probably a good idea to wheel out the garage can before the truck comes or even the night before. It's no fun wheeling it out in the rain seconds before the truck comes, or worse yet you miss it all together and the next week you can't close the lid on the can. Of course you can always have great neighbors who remind you and sometimes even wheel it out and back for you!
