Shopping Warm-Up

You've got 62 days until Christmas.

That may sound like a lot, but you and I both know how fast those days fly by. So, it's time to start warming up your shopping wits and thinking of spending on others for a change (put down the J. Crew catalogue). Have no fear, I'm giving you a head start with some fun items I've come across in magazines and online - and almost all are currently offering discounts! (and no one has paid me to endorse these or any of that stuff, by the way.)


For the Hostess: These wonderful melamine monogrammed trays from Fontaine Maury. For a 15% discount, Enter code REALSIMPLE2009 at checkout.

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
