Do you always wear your suit as an ensemble? Do you remember to break it up in order to get more outfits out of it? I’ve often heard it advised to hang all your jackets in one area together, all of your skirts together, all of your trousers together and all of your vests together with your tops so that you can see the possibilities. If you’d like to get more ideas for how to get lots more outfits from your suits, you’re in the right place. That’s what I do: come up with outfit ideas galore!
Not only do I have lots of outfits here for you to choose from and inspire you, but I also have nine (9) style tips in this one blog post.

Here I am at the American Polish Century Club at the annual Wigilia, the traditional Polish Christmas feast. We had 11 dishes served at the dinner this year. Now I’m looking forward to our family Wigilia, where a couple of dozen members of my extended family will gather on Christmas Eve. Because of all the cooking and feasting and merry-making, I will take Christmas Day off from blogging for the first time since I started Your True Self Blog. So before I go celebrate, I want to send my gift to you: wishes for happy holidays!

My son, Chris, and I have been making health goals together each month for years. I wrote about our experiences with this in my Health Goal Diary here on the blog. It has made a big difference in our health habits, especially with diet and exercise.
It has been beneficial to both of us. Age doesn’t matter. Besides keeping us healthy, it has kept our weight down and made us look our best.
We took a break when the weather got cold in the fall and the holidays rolled around. We got busy, sick, and then surrounded by holiday feasts and goodies.
When we decided to take a break from making health goals, we had a conversation about how overwork was taking a toll on us. Self care was lost in the shuffle and we needed to find time for ourselves and our needs. It was a goal that has not been easy to achieve.
Intending to think about what I needed to do to make time for myself, I dove right back into my work and never gave it another thought. So I’m taking a moment in writing this post about self care to explore what I need to do that I haven’t been doing all this time. I’m hoping this will be helpful to you as well.
Included is:
- What happens when we don’t make time for ourselves?
- Personal examples, both unsuccessful and successful.
- The basics of self care.
- Self-care tips based on specific needs.
- 20 general self-care tips.
As you read on, you’ll find more and more helpful information beyond what you might already think of, which I hope will inspire you with some helpful ideas.
