New Years Resolutions

The New Year is approaching and you know what that means. Time to make your 2010 resolutions. Whether it's organizing your closet, laying off the soda, or clearing your schedule for more family time, everyone has something they wish for. Just because it's a new year doesn't necessarily mean you have to throw away every item in your closet because it is just "last season's". Fashion is what you make of it. Money is tight- and I totally understand that not everyone can go out and buy a whole new wardrobe, that's why I have a few simple solutions for you. So, recently I went to a consignment shop called Buffalo Exchange and if you bring them new or gently worn clothes, they either give you store credit or cash in exchange for your items. They sell all types of adorable clothes to Juicy handbags, Harajuku heels, Ed Hardy tees, and Hollister jeans. It's an inexpensive way to get some new clothes. Or there's always a yard sale. I know it is so not easy to part with your size 5 Jimmy Choo boots- but face it honey, your size 7 feet will never squeeze into them. A yard sale is a perfect and simple way to get some extra cash. You may wonder, what are my new year's resolutions, well to name a few:
1. Organize my drawers
2. Keep A's and occasional B's this semester
3. Exercise every single day
4. Practice my turns and leaps for Performance
5. Spend more quality time with my family
Make a list of your own and set out to achieve your goals. You never know what that new year will bring. I wish all of you luck in 2010! If you email me your New Years Resolutions I will post a few lucky people's list up here on my website! If you have any comments, concerns, or need advice you can email me madison@madison-skye.com

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

Giving back during Christmas is big this Holiday season. Isn't that what Christmas is all about? Its not about presents, its about family and helping those in need. Here are only a few out of the many opportunities to give back to your community:
1. Starbucks Red- All You Need is Love
Starbucks is teaming up with RED in the fight against Aids in Africa. It's as simple as buying one of the RED products- a portion of their profits to Global Fund- financed Aid programs.
2. Feed My Starving Children
Local Churches are doing packaging events to feed children in Africa. They give them the basics- chicken, veggies, soy, and rice. 1 meal packet can feed up to 6 kids. Feed My Starving Children is a non- profit Christian organization. I was able to attend one at my church and in one night we packaged 73,000- enough to feed 205 kids every single day for 1 year.
3. Angel Trees
Angel Trees are located everywhere in your community, but you will most likely find some at your local grocery store or at the mall. It as simple as this, pick out a card from the tree, buy something that the children need or want, then turn it in. Even if you are hurting for the Holiday season, contributing by 1 donation can make a big difference. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Email me at madison@madison-skye.com with any questions, concerns, or comments. Thank You! XoXo Madison Skye!
