Alegre

The holidays are often a time for gift-giving, but when you want gifts to be thoughtful and not wasteful, this can take some extra brain power. Alegre talks you through a few philosophies she uses when gifting her immediate family.

Your body is ever-changing, on the inside and the outside. However, perhaps our closets -- and our children -- make us a little bit more aware of the external changes.
