Fashion Flash | Mid September Issue
Summer is fast headed out the door and I'm gearing up for fall. I have ideas for decor, which means that some shopping needs to happen and please don't let me forget to polish that damned silver pitcher that's lurking in my downstairs closet, so that I can put a new floral arrangement in it. I want to do a soft glam fall, with cream, gentle rose and mauve and hints of blue with sparkly silver and gold metallic accents. What will really happen is that I'll end up hauling out all of the usual and placing it about and calling it good. *shrug I am forever trapped between my decorating aspirations and my budget. Guess which one wins? Yeah.
Anyway... While I'd like to chat home and holiday decor and buy all of the things, what I really need to do is stop nattering and get busy putting this issue of Fashion Flash together! What, exactly is Fashion Flash? It is a weekly e-newsletter collecting articles and blog posts by forty-plus writers for forty-plus readers spanning beauty, fashion, lifestyle and decor, wellness and fitness, and travel. I hope that you enjoy this week's Fashion Flash.

From
The Culinary Cure: Have you ever opened a bag of potato chips, popcorn or cookies, and mindlessly eaten the whole thing? I have. Snack foods are engineered to be salty, sweet and addictively delicious. You can never eat just one because they were created to light up the pleasure centers of your brain and keep you coming back for more.

No one wants to get COVID-19. And, if we do get it we don't want to end up on a ventilator with a slim chance of survival. But what can we do? Masks, hand washing and social distancing, of course. Avoid crowds, sure but what if we get it, anyway? Is there any way to protect our immune system so we're more likely to recover? Yes, there is!
