I don\'t have insomnia -- I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow -- it\'s getting my head on the pillow that\'s the problem.\r\n\r\nI <em>finally </em>figured out a trick that works for me. It doesn\'t work all the time, but it\'s enough to get me in bed earlier and earlier each day. That\'s all I wanted.\r\n\r\nWhat I do is that as soon as the kids are in bed (do not pass GO, do not collect $200) I go into my room and I get ready for bed.\r\n\r\nYes, I get ready for bed at 7:30 pm. No, I don\'t go to bed at 7:30 -- I\'m a night owl. But I\'ve been going to bed closer to 10 PM as opposed at 2 AM. That\'s a huge improvement in just a few weeks.\r\n\r\nSo after I finish my nightly chores/put the kids to bed, I go straight to my room, fluff the pillows, go in the bathroom, wash my face, brush my teeth (this is important) and put on my pjs.\r\n\r\nI start to relax almost immediately.\r\n\r\nSounds too easy to be effective, but it works.\r\n\r\nI\'ve learned that wearing fresh pjs every night is helpful. This isn\'t as decadent as it sounds. I sleep in T shirts and pajama bottoms -- I\'m pretty sure you can collect a week\'s worth your favorite sleepwear as well. Getting dressed in fresh pjs is one of life\'s little pleasures, and it\'s so easy to do. Bonus points if it\'s laundry day and you have fresh sheets.\r\n\r\n(If I was a filthy rich, I\'d pay someone to make my bed with fresh sheets every night, but that isn\'t happening. So fresh pjs is the best I can do, but it\'s good enough.)\r\n\r\nAlso, I brush my teeth at 7:00 PM. I\'m lazy, so it makes me think twice about post-dinner and dessert snacking. It has to be really worthwhile for me to get my teeth dirty again. I\'m not going to lie -- I find a lot of post-dinner cocktails and sweets worthwhile, but brushing my teeth again isn\'t that big a deal. It just stops me from eating or drinking out of boredom.\r\n\r\nI\'ve realized that part of the reason I was staying up late is that I was too tired to do my bedtime routine -- so the later it got, the later I stayed up, trying to avoid the inevitable.

I know!)\r\n\r\nI hate the way it\'s so cold and slippery and messy and how it turns driving into a game of chance. I hate shoveling it and for the longest time I hated winter clothes.\r\n\r\nSo I was cold and miserable for about 5 months out of the year. I wore the same ugly ski parka, day in and day out, even when I wasn\'t skiing. (Oh, who am I kidding, I don\'t even ski.) I cried with frustration when I had to drive during a snowstorm. I never found the sweet spot for indoor heating -- alternatively freezing and feeling ill from the forced hot air blasting on my face. It was awful. And I had no escape. Because Boston is where I\'m planted.\r\n\r\nOnce I realized, that duh, it\'s not like winter and snow comes as a surprise when you live up here, I\'ve learned to appreciate and prepare for winter.\r\n\r\nI now appreciate the beauty of a snow day -- the quiet outside, the warm fireplace inside. I started to appreciate hot coffee and tea and stews and creamy soups. I started actually buying cozy and cute (to me at least) winter clothes. I started leaving snow white fluffy throws on the sofa, to ward off the chill and make me feel cozy when hanging out at home. I wear cute fluffy slippers indoors -- I used to insist on going barefoot inside my house. No wonder I was miserable!\r\n\r\nNo, I\'m not planning on skiing anytime soon, and if there is a bad snowstorm you will not find me on the roads -- I cancel plans with impunity when the roads are icy because I\'m a girl from the caribbean at heart -- but now?

It all depends on how you look at it.\r\n\r\nIf you think of being lazy as trying to get as much done with as little effort as possible -- well, that to me sounds smart.\r\n\r\n(On the other hand, if your laziness translates to nothing getting done, ever. Well, that sounds sad.)\r\n\r\nANYWAY.\r\n\r\nAre you lazy? Why not make it work for you?\r\n\r\nLet\'s say you don\'t stay on top of your laundry, and your closets are bare. That\'s a great opportunity to look through the clothes that you don\'t really like (or you wouldn\'t be in a panic about not having anything to wear) and picking out clothes to donate or throw out. I mean, 70% of the work is done for you already -- how lazy is that?\r\n\r\nSame thing with groceries. Next time the fridge is almost empty because you\'ve put off going grocery shopping until there\'s almost nothing in the fridge take that chance to wipe down the bare shelves.  Also, throw away the half-opened condiment bottles that expired two years ago. I\'m just saying.\r\n\r\nOh, and since we\'re on the topic of groceries -- when you do make it to the store, stock up on your favorite non-perishables. Sugar, flour, Nutella, toilet paper. Think of all those things that don\'t go bad, and buy multiples. It will save you a trip in the future -- and your lazy self loves that, doesn\'t she?','Lazy? It can be a good thing.

What do you need in life other than a good book, a few capri pants, and a cotton sundress or two?</blockquote>\r\nThe point is, you don\'t need money or a lot of clothes to have style.

Because I\'m a worrier-- you probably are one as well. But I probably have you beat, since worrying is one of my favorite pastimes.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, it\'s a completely useless one, since worrying has never changed anything in the history of ever.\r\n\r\nSo what has helped?\r\n\r\nWriting my worries down so I can read them later. The \"read them later\" part is the key. I write down what is worrying me that day, and I really get into it. I revel in all the horrible things I can imagine will go wrong if I do or don\'t do whatever it is that is worrying me. \"What ifs\" are my favorites -- what if this or that happened. I write them all down, until I can\'t think of anything else to worry about.\r\n\r\nThat feels good, but not as good as I feel when I reread my worries a few days later.\r\n\r\nWhen I go back and read about what had me so very worried just a few days before I more often than not realize how silly most of those worries are. I feel relief that the worry I was swimming in was mostly in my head. And sometimes I realize that there are a few things that are worth thinking about further -- not to dwell on worrying about them, but so that I can do something to change them.\r\n\r\nCreating a bit of space between my mind and my worries works wonders for me.

I think it was at Ralph Lauren, which is a very nice place, but not exactly a store I turn to for decor inspiration -- because, lo, I do not live in a country estate. I was waiting for the elevator, and it was taking too long, so I went down the fire escape and <em>ohmygod</em> I fell in love with the mismatched and imperfect framed pictures that look like they\'re about to fall on you because the space is tiny and the pictures are big.\r\n\r\nIt\'s not for everyone, but I was in love. I wanted the same look for my entryway, which is tiny.\r\n\r\nSo I\'ve been collecting gold frames, fully intending to just hang pictures as I buy them and not worry about it being perfect, because, it turns out I like imperfect gallery walls. Now it\'s five months later and I have yet to make a hole.\r\n\r\nBecause I\'m afraid of a tiny nail hole?\r\n\r\nI am so ashamed. Where\'s my hammer?','Don\'t be afraid to make a nail hole.

NEVER. Think about it -- have you ever been mad at someone who said thank you? Let\'s revive this dying art -- right now.\r\n\r\nAll you need to remember to write great thank you notes is to <em><strong>be prompt, sincere, and specific</strong></em>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Be PROMPT:</strong> You should send out the notes as quickly as you can- in fact, the sooner you write them the easier it will be for <em>you</em>. Why?\r\n\r\nBecause it allows you to <strong>be SINCERE:</strong> It is much easier to write of your sincere gratitude for your awesome new gift if you write soon after the excitement of opening the present. Trust me, it is much harder to sound sincerely grateful once you realize you have no place to put the thing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Being SPECIFIC</strong> is important because people want to know that you actually liked what they gave you. And do mention how you plan to use the gift (for example: <em>Thank you for the beautiful picture frame, I can\'t wait to use it to frame the group picture we made the waiter take at my birthday dinner. I will always think of you when I look at that photo...</em>)\r\n\r\nAnother reason to be specific is that nowadays a lot people will order gifts online and have them shipped directly to your home.

You should read it, and the comments, as well. The comments are almost as good as the post.\r\n\r\nThis post isn\'t really about Alice\'s post, which is self-explanatory and nails something I\'ve been thinking about for a while. What I want to talk about is something I read into in some of the comments. A few women mentioned how they\'ve made themselves less attractive on purpose, to protect themselves from unwanted lecherous male attention.\r\n\r\nI know that the conversation engendered by that post is from women who have had to deal with what I will euphemistically call traumatic experiences. I have had a few myself, so I know how it is.\r\n\r\nBut the conversation got me thinking about the power of <a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/02/are-you-beautiful.html\">female beauty </a>and who owns it. Let\'s not kid ourselves: Beauty, especially female beauty, is incredibly powerful -- and we, men and women alike, fear it.\r\n\r\nI believe that lecherous old men, harrasers, abusers, criminals, psychopaths and jerks of all stripes do what they do because they fear the power of female beauty. They abuse and harass as a way to control it. Advertisers, <a href=\"http://mightygirl.com/2012/01/17/ces-is-killing-sexy/\">trade show organizers</a>, politicians, fundamentalists do what they do as a means to control the female beauty that they fear.\r\n\r\nWe are given <a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/2010/11/can-smart-girls-be-pretty.html\">a false choice, that you can be pretty or smart but not both</a>, because society fears the power of a woman that is whole.\r\n\r\nIt\'s exhausting. I can understand the desire to give up.\r\n\r\nBut when a woman makes herself unattractive to protect herself from all these forces against her she is covering herself in a burqa of her own choosing.  She is just as powerless as the teenager that dresses like a slut to please boys.\r\n\r\nI know that many women couldn\'t care less about makeup and hair and fashion. I\'m not talking about that. You like what you like. (No one can convince that skiing is fun. You can\'t make me. I like what I like.) But denying yourself the pleasure of <a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/05/how-to-define-your-personal-style-shopper-know-thyself.html\">expressing yourself through your appearance</a>, the pleasure of taking care of your body and skin and the <a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/2012/01/have-a-little-fun-with-your-grooming-everyday-tip-7.html\">playfulness</a> in decorating yourself as you choose isn\'t the way to go either.\r\n\r\nNow, it\'s easy for me to say this because I\'m a grown woman. How do you help a girl figure this out? How do you teach her fight back against the forces that want to control the way she looks -- whether by turning her into a bimbo or forcing her to cover up, either literally or figuratively?\r\n\r\nI don\'t know. The only way I can think of is by example.\r\n\r\nAll this to say, enjoy your power ladies. Don\'t give it up. You don\'t have to please anyone but yourself.','Own your beauty.

I know!)\r\n\r\nI hate the way it\'s so cold and slippery and messy and how it turns driving into a game of chance. I hate shoveling it and for the longest time I hated winter clothes.\r\n\r\nSo I was cold and miserable for about 5 months out of the year. I wore the same ugly ski parka, day in and day out, even when I wasn\'t skiing. (Oh, who am I kidding, I don\'t even ski.) I cried with frustration when I had to drive during a snowstorm. I never found the sweet spot for indoor heating -- alternatively freezing and feeling ill from the forced hot air blasting on my face. It was awful. And I had no escape. Because Boston is where I\'m planted.\r\n\r\nOnce I realized, that duh, it\'s not like winter and snow comes as a surprise when you live up here, I\'ve learned to appreciate and prepare for winter.\r\n\r\nI now appreciate the beauty of a snow day -- the quiet outside, the warm fireplace inside. I started to appreciate hot coffee and tea and stews and creamy soups. I started actually buying cozy and cute (to me at least) winter clothes. I started leaving snow white fluffy throws on the sofa, to ward off the chill and make me feel cozy when hanging out at home. I wear cute fluffy slippers indoors -- I used to insist on going barefoot inside my house. No wonder I was miserable!\r\n\r\nNo, I\'m not planning on skiing anytime soon, and if there is a bad snowstorm you will not find me on the roads -- I cancel plans with impunity when the roads are icy because I\'m a girl from the caribbean at heart -- but now? I have learned to go with the flow. To live with the seasons.\r\n\r\nWinter is my least favorite season of all, but it also makes me appreciate the others even more.','Bloom where you\'re planted.

It wasn\'t too bad --after a while. Force yourself to look at pictures of yourself, and you\'ll see that they\'re not bad, you silly fool.\r\n\r\nMy kids/husband: There are thousands of photos of them. I love them all.\r\n\r\nSo! Yes, I have a ways to go, but here is how I\'ve gotten better about having my picture taken.\r\n\r\n1. BUY A REMOTE\r\n\r\nI bought a remote for my camera. Then I took 300 pictures of myself in one afternoon. I forced myself to look at them. I got over myself. No, you can\'t see them: I deleted most of them, and kept the best ones. There were 10 left. They come in very handy.\r\n\r\nAs an added bonus, because of the remote I can now take pictures of the whole family that include ME. Imagine that.\r\n\r\n2. GET OVER YOURSELF\r\n\r\nIt\'s just a picture. Take it and don\'t let it be too precious. The more pictures out there of you, the less you\'ll believe that each individual one is a judgement on you.\r\n\r\nAre you good about taking pictures of yourself?

How do you even have time for that?”\r\n\r\nFor you see, I was envisioning those movie bubble baths -- the ones with candles, rose petals, champagne, and chocolate-dipped strawberries -- how on earth would I ever find the time to do all that after a full day of, you know, LIFE? (FYI - my life involves wrangling three boys under seven and changing a lot of diapers. Not exactly conducive to nightly champagne.)\r\n\r\nMy friend just shrugged. “I run the bath while I brush my teeth and get ready for bed. Then I pour whatever soap I have, get in and ten minutes later I’m out. It’s not a big deal. I get to relax and read for a bit.”\r\n\r\nNow, I had to admit that seemed really easy. But there was one tiny, yet insurmountable problem: I need a morning shower to function.\r\n\r\n“That sounds great, but I need to shower in the morning or I’m a zombie all day.”\r\n\r\n“Who says I don’t take a morning shower?”\r\n\r\nGuys, it was like a new world had opened up for me. Why not take a bath that night? Why make a big deal out of it?\r\n\r\nSo that night, I ran a bath. I pumped a bit of shower gel into the water, anything works, really -- and got in. I rolled a towel behind my head and dug into a two month-old issue of Vanity Fair, something I hadn’t done in, well, two months.\r\n\r\nIt was nice. Very nice.\r\n\r\nEventually, I put down my magazine, closed my eyes and just relaxed.\r\n\r\nIt was heaven.\r\n\r\nAll of fifteen minutes later I emerged from my bath as refreshed as if I’d spent two hours at a spa. And I had done all that at home, after putting the kids to bed and washing the dinner dishes. That night I slept like an angel, and the next morning I took the quickest, most refreshing shower known to man.\r\n\r\nI’m a convert. Ladies, if you’re feeling stressed you NEED to do this for yourself. Run a bit of water and just soak for a bit. No fancy bath salts or accessories needed.

Why? I wasn\'t bothered by my fridge. But it\'s there. So I do it.\r\n\r\nAnd then, then I feel superhuman.\r\n\r\nAnd I start putting away the laundry. And replying to email.

I\'ve personally come to expect it, and a lot of the time it doesn\'t even bother me. I used to work in marketing in the cosmetic industry, so I know that most of the models are like 14, and they still have lines under their eyes (you know, so their eyes can open and shut) and a little bit of jiggle (because their skin isn\'t made of plastic)...until the art department gets a hold of them.\r\n\r\nBut things have gotten ridiculously bad in the last few years, so much so that the level of photoshopping is beyond comical. You\'ve seen pictures of famous people before and after photoshop -- but what about classical nudes?\r\n\r\nThis project by <a href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1.1021831\">Anna Utopia Giordano</a> is so incredibly clever, because it\'s so powerful. To see these classic beauties altered is jarring; which is so interesting because they\'re not real women -- just impossibly ideal representations of the female form to begin with.\r\n\r\nWhen Venus isn\'t good enough for modern expectations, you know we have a problem. A big one.\r\n\r\nDon\'t aspire to a photoshopped ideal.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-11-e1329619316237.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-1\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-11-e1329619316237.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\" /></a><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-2-e1329619329653.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-2\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-2-e1329619329653.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"318\" /></a><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-6-e1329619302102.jpeg\"><img title=\"art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-6\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-6-e1329619302102.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"231\" /></a><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-3-e1329619346423.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-3\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-3-e1329619346423.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"344\" /></a><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-4-e1329619361663.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3049\" title=\"art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-4\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-4-e1329619361663.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"341\" /></a><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-4-e1329619361663.jpeg\">\r\n</a><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-2-e1329619329653.jpeg\">\r\n</a><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-11-e1329619316237.jpeg\">\r\n</a><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-e1329618716637.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3041\" title=\"art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-e1329618716637.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" /></a><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-1-e1329618859126.jpeg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3044\" title=\"art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-1\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/art-classical-nudes-photoshopped-skinnier-gallery-1-1-e1329618859126.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"342\" /></a></p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>','Don\'t believe in photoshop.

Actually, did you notice that you almost don\'t notice her body? (I said almost. It is Sophia Loren.)\r\n\r\nIt\'s because her confidence and enjoyment is so damn contagious -- it\'s about the game, not showing off the body. So enjoy yourself before you undress -- have dinner, a drink or two. That\'s sexy.\r\n\r\nYou are not a plastic doll. You are a person. A person who is ready to have fun.\r\n\r\n(Did I mention fun? Don\'t do it if it\'s not going to be fun.)\r\n\r\nAll you have to do is maintain eye contact, take your time, and lose yourself in the moment. A little music in the background helps, but you are not a cheerleader, OK. So keep the volume low and just sway to the music as you undress.\r\n\r\nIf you do it right, you can keep playing this game for thirty years and it will never get old.\r\n\r\n<object width=\"480\" height=\"360\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Kz234-_khjs?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"480\" height=\"360\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Kz234-_khjs?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object>\r\n\r\nWell, mostly.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>PS - I actually hate the word striptease.

This is essentially playtime for grownups.\r\n\r\nStripping for your lover is very easy and very fun. Just watch Sophia and Marcelo:\r\n\r\n<object width=\"480\" height=\"360\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/nUu7iNnTnRQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"480\" height=\"360\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/nUu7iNnTnRQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object>\r\n\r\nIsn\'t that refreshing?\r\n\r\nThere\'s no need to memorize crazy dance routines or offer yourself up as if you were submitting to a gynecological exam. Actually, did you notice that you almost don\'t notice her body? (I said almost. It is Sophia Loren.)\r\n\r\nIt\'s because her confidence and enjoyment is so damn contagious -- it\'s about the game, not showing off the body. So enjoy yourself before you undress -- have dinner, a drink or two. That\'s sexy.\r\n\r\nYou are not a plastic doll. You are a person. A person who is ready to have fun.\r\n\r\n(Did I mention fun?
