Preparation If you love decorating your home’s exterior for the holidays, then chances are, you’re a fan of blow molds. Equal parts festive and nostalgic, blow molds are the plastic, light-up figures and ornaments—think Santa Claus, reindeer, and candy canes—commonly used to brighten up lawns, porches, and even roofs during the holidays. “Blow molds are works of art and collectible, and the plastic construction make them long lasting,” says Fred Vannucci, owner of Christmas Lights Creations....
Preparation If your cat puts you off cuddling every time he opens his mouth, the issue may be his teeth.

Gently hold his head with your non-dominant hand and lift his lips (upper, then lower) with that thumb, so you can reach the teeth in each quadrant with the other hand....
Preparation Much like in work and life, sometimes, you have to stand up for yourself and speak up. When it comes to settling debt, this is absolutely the case. Simply put, you need to be your own self-advocate. “If you are finding it hard to pay your monthly credit card payment and your mortgage or rent, or if high-interest rates are making it impossible for you to get rid of the debt, it might be time to give your credit card company a call,” says Colleen McCreary, chief people officer at Credit Karma....

Sometimes on a cruise, you wake up the morning and you’re already in port. On our stop in Puerto Vallarta, we sailed in around 8am so it was nice to be able to stand on the front of the ship and take in the beauty of the city as we approached.

Preparation Cameras are more pervasive than ever—they’re integrated into the vast majority of cell phones—and, as a result, most of us have more photographs and videos than we know what to do with. While endearing in the moment and fun to share on social media, that surplus might actually be a bit of a problem.
