DearSugar — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:00:00 -0800

I came across a very timely article on The Frisky the other day about how not to become a party pariah in front of your family, co-workers, or friends. I'm sure most of you will be attending your fair share of holiday parties this year so I thought it'd be a good idea to share its four suggestions with you, and offer up four of my own, too! Check out their tips below:

Keep the booze in check
Invite one date at a time
Don't drunk dial
Keep your inner stripper at bay

To see my suggestions, read more

Don't say anything that you wouldn't say sober
Don't overstay your welcome - no one likes a lingering party guest
Don't overdo the PDA
Be mindful of wardrobe malfunctions

Ten Things to Do With Your Extra Hour

DearSugar — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 09:00:00 -0700

If you haven't been keeping track of time, we're changing our clocks this weekend - back an hour - which means we're losing an hour of daylight, but we're gaining an hour of sleep! There's no denying that walking home from work in the dark is a total bummer, but think of all the things you can do with that extra hour! My friends at The Frisky came up with 25 suggestions and I wanted to share five of them with you, and offer a few of my own, too! Check out their recommendations below:

Sleep off your Halloween hangover
Hit the post-Halloween candy sale at Rite-Aid
Get in touch with your inner self
Make a batch of oatmeal cookies
Do like Oprah and make a vision board

If you want to see my five suggestions of what you can do with the extra hour, just read more.

Jump-start your exercise routine before the holidays come
Organize your closet and donate your giveaways to charity
Catch up on all the movies you missed this Summer
Pick up a new hobby
Winter-proof your home - load up on hot cocoa, logs for the fireplace, and decorate with pumpkins and cornucopias

What do you plan on doing with that extra hour?
