I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to my new adventure in TV. My partner and I have made our choice for the pilot. We had a hard time choosing because so many of you need help. We will keep our fingers crossed that the show gets picked up and then we will be able to possibly use you in the future. We will keep you updated on the progress of the show through my newsletter!

Tips

Shopping on line is very convenient these days but be sure to adhere to these tips when buying clothing.

1. Use all the fitting info on the site. Many sites, just like stores, fit differently. Invest in a measuring tape to make sure your measurements match up.
2. Stick to brands you are familiar with- your success rate will be much better.
3. On sites that offer free shipping and returns - order 2 sizes and return one.
4. Be sure you understand their return policy and your limits. If you don't like to return to stores, do you think you will be better by mail?
5. Go to www.freeshipping.org to find sites with the offer.

Shoe Care-

• www.footpetals.com is a great site that provides great poducts to keep your feet sweet. Look for foot pads for every part of your feet, a great new pen that will sweep those scuffs and scratches right off.
• Consider getting rid of those pesky shoe boxes in your closet (recycle them please!) Container store and target have great clear shoe boxes that can house your shoes. If you have just a little room for shoes, they will fit better on your shelves outside of the box.
• Make sure your shoes and boots are ready to go fo the winter. Check all soles and heels for replacement. It's a great time to have them shined up too!

Coat Care-

• Since we are pulling out our coats as the weather gets cooler, be careful about the care. Do not put a sticky name tag on leather coats - it will pull the finish off of the leather and you can't fix it.
• Buy shoulder covers for the storage of your coats - you will keep the dust off and still be able to see what the item is. Get rid of those dry cleaning bags!
• Check all of your coats before you hang them back up for stains. you don't want them to set in for the season.
