I was chatting with a friend about holiday traditions. I shared that my mother always put my gifts in a pillowcase at the end of my bed. How do I know this? Because I saw the photos! Don’t worry I had long since stopped believing. What is funny, though, is that my parents continued...

Winter weather can be tough on my skin. No matter how thoroughly I dry my hands each time I wash them, or how many layers of clothing I wear, or how much shower gel or soap I use, I still get dry, chapped...
