Prelude to Post: My friend (the talented journalist Atara Arbesfeld) and I
recently published an article in The Jewish Press. We wrote a review on Jew in the City's spectacular Chanukah party and her Jewish
Orthodox "All-Stars" Video. Please
click on http://www.jewishpress.com/ sections/features/ jew-in-the-city-all-stars-party -lights-up-with-chanukah-inspi ration/2012/12/21/to read all about it! If you haven't yet heard of the fabulous Jew in the City, then you must
check out her site ASAP (at www.jewinthecity.com).
WINTER LAYERING PART 1: THE DENIM JACKET

The advantage to being a nifty,
thrifty college graduate without a full-time job (yet!) is that you have no
choice but to
become innovative and economical. You transform into a quasi-Sherlock Holmes
and compel yourself to think out-of-the-box. Let's see now--sugar cubes can
sweeten my tea and exfoliate lips, while a hairdryer can style my locks and dry
the icing on cakes. Clever, huh? From ramen noodles to hairpins, and from
rubber bands to lipstick, everything in your house must now serve double-duty.
If that's not possible, then we've got a problem here Watson...
