"Shopping for frugal-istas"

"Shopping for frugal-istas"

- Barbara's speech to a medical convention at the Sheraton Center in Toronto in December 2008. Everyone's looking to do more with less this season during turbulent economic times. What better way than to listen to a shopping pro talk about the best buys and original gifts. One big tip - search for a connection with the person you're buying for, personalize your gift through for example, wrapping with fresh greenery as trim or with a special hand-written note. The staying power of that type of attention just keeps on giving all year round. Check out the fabulous gift of sleep comfort products at the Bath and Beauty Works new shops in Toronto, a small, creative gift, which says I care and am thinking about you. A book with a meaningful dedication, a gift certificate for a relaxing massage, a cooking course for friends.Time to put the accent on original and meaningful. Attendees went away inspired... and a few dollars less stressed! Remember as someone once told me "stressed is just desserts spelled backwards."

Have a fashionable... and healthy '09.
