A variation on the hot towel trick, toss your child’s shrink-resistant blankie in the dryer before bedtime. Your gesture will warm more than just their toes.

Chop your woo. Clip your wig. Lop those locks. Get your ears lowered.

If you’re a long-haired lass in the market for a spring haircut, consider a major makeover that can help someone less fortunate.

A million years ago (okay, it’s been four months) I cut eight inches off my hair in hopes of donating it. When I did this the first time, for my twenty-fifth birthday (a million years ago), I sent it to Locks of Love, which helps disadvantaged children dealing with hair loss. Now I hear Pantene and some other organizations offer a similar service. Click around and find a cause and company that feels right to you, then get to snipping!
