I needed help with my style to transform from a person who WFH in pajamas for 20 years to someone who was now going to be in the public eye. I tried StitchFix (which everyone raves about) but when I got the clothes I could only tell if they fit ON me not if they FIT me or if they even looked good. I ended up hiring a stylist, and it was the best decision I ever made for myself. She picked out clothes I could mix-and-match that fit my body and my coloring AND my budget. She had me try on everything and gave her opinion. I mean like, I tried 3 sizes of the same pants, two colors of the same shirts, everything just to get the right fit.

I hired her in Feb 2020 and half of our sessions ended up being virtual, but it still worked. I was able to order clothes and return what I couldn't use. I am so pleased with my results!

I love the idea of Style Space, never heard of it until your post here. I think it's a much-needed service and will recommend it to people who ask me about getting a better style!

www.carbonoffsetting.com doesn't go to a real, active website. it just goes to a placeholder page for a hosting company.

Something I have found that helps my dogs through fireworks and thunder is to pop a large bowl of popcorn (no butter or salt) and feed them one or two pieces at a time, throwing them or tossing them on the floor. It really re-focuses their attention away from the scary stuff.

My dog (7yo mixed breed) has always been anxious but I think the other day he had his first panic attack. I heard him bark once in the middle of the night, and then for the next 2 hours he acted the same way he does if there's thunder. Actually, he was worse than with thunder (there was no thunder). He finally calmed down after I took him for a ride in the car.

This happened the day after he was skunked, so despite my best efforts there was still a lot of smell on him and in the house. He's been skunked before so it wasn't a new thing to him. But I wonder if the skunking contributed to it, or if he is A Dog Who Has Panic Attacks now.

I will talk to his vet about this next time we go, and in the mean time I've gotten him some "calming chews." But can you talk about dog panic attacks?

Unfortunately she is no longer in the business. To find her, I just searched on Google for stylists in my area. I needed someone local because I needed to meet face-to-face.
