Everybody could use a coupon!
I only recently discovered Nordstrom when they built one near me a few years ago. I had to get clothes for work last year, and I went in clueless about what to buy. As a mom that had been out of the workplace for almost 10 years, what did I know? The sales staff was helpful, patient and not pushy. I needed that!
When I am unable to post on a consistent basis for whatever reason, I welcome guest posts. Today’s post By Kelly Austin might seem like old news to more seasoned greenies, but there are plenty of you just starting on your eco-path. Here’s a few tips to get you started when it comes to shopping just a bit greener.
So, it’s the holiday season. If you know me, you know I do not love the whole Christmas thing. My husband says I get grinchy-er every year. That might be true. (I’m not religious, please don’t hate on me for it!)
I don’t like to decorate. So I don’t. I don’t buy a tree. Though some years I will through a string of lights on the stair railing. My kids think we have gone all out when I do that. My husband is Jewish, so we do the Hanukkah thing with his family.
I don’t like to complain unless there is a good reason. I try to teach this to my children, that to complain about minutiae endlessly, as we know some kids are wont to do, gives less weight to the complaints about more important issues that need attention. The whole crying wolf syndrome and all that. My younger sister says I choose not to complain because I want to be known as the person who doesn’t complain. (This is getting confusing) I disagree with her, I just don’t see the point of excessive complaining.
However, today I do want to gripe just a bit.
