LE CHIC MODE

THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT As we start to get excited and looking forward to holidays and the company , there are those that aren't having the best season.  They are perhaps alone , not able to celebrate due to lack of money, or have lost a family member. (thinking about those in London) . But there is always a good story to share about this time of year.  A feel good story is always special at this time of year. I came across a story about a man in Florida who decided to help 36 families whose heating bills were overdue and about to be turned off. To imagine someone not having heat to keep warm in winter is really unbelievable. For some it is a problem whether to buy food for their families or keep utilities .  Well this man paid their heating bill , what a great goodwill thing to do.

LUCKY, FUNNY AND YUMMY THINGS Happy Friday everyone. Getting into the holiday spirit yet?  Well perhaps these stories will get  you in the mood ,  smile or laugh. It is nice to read something that is uplifting and not all bad news. Especially at this time of year. Santas Reindeer? It is an amazing story, just right for this time of year actually.  It starts in the far north of Scandinavia where a photographer  encountered a white reindeer White reindeer are very rare and very seldom  seen up close but the photographer  was greeted by this young calf .  It is considered lucky to  see one.

Apparently it is against the law to throw snowballs. What is winter without snowballs? YUMM , YUMMY There is nothing better then ...

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE! Hopefully those that were getting into the shopping mania of Black Friday survived.  It can be a stressful time for some that are looking for a certain item or trying to get the best deal . Who doesn't like a great deal, right? So after all the hype and shopping time to relax and put the feet up. Thought I would share some interesting stories from around the world. you might like to read. I was reading a fun article about Japan and photo booths.  Do you remember those? Most shopping malls had them. Step into the booth , deposit your money and wait for the flash then get a strip of photos. I can remember the times a friend and I tried it.  Now a days photo booths have become  techno,  photos can be almost photoshopped. Change  your eye shape , color,  make lips bigger or smaller - you get the picture. You can read more about it here . PET LOVERS this a heartwarming article hero dogs . I love dogs or pets  ...
