Okay Sassy Gals the birds are chirping, sun is shining and all of your favorite stores are beginning to put out spring fashions. Now how is  a sassy gal supposed to determine what to wear or buy? Whats hot this season? What’s not??

Well ladies, mint is not only a delicious flavor, but is also a gorgeous color that should grace each and every one of yours closets! From mint jeans to tunic every gal should have this must have color in their wardrobe. Not fashion-savvy? Not sure how to incorporate such a great color into your wardrobe? Have no fear the sassy gal is here!

If you are comfortable wearing colored pants, splurge on a pair of mint colored jeans. They can be dressed up with a pair of wedges or dressed down with a cute pair of Keds. The best part of the jeans is how effortlessly feminine they are. Find your inner girly-girl and get yourself a pair!

If mint colored jeans isn’t your forte, splurge on a great top, accessories or bag! Each of these items will add color to your wardrobe!

What not hot this season? Limited clothing.

The era of short-shorts is over ladies! Cute lady-like long shorts are all the rage. Love color? Purchase the shorts in all different colors and pair them with some simple tops and fabulous accessories!

Tip Three: What do you do with all those cans and liters of soda? Recycle? Why not recycle and get paid to do it! Save those pesky cans and liters and, return them in those fabulous service centers at your local grocer and then put the money you receive in your change jar!

Here are some simple, personal and romantic gifts you can MAKE for your man!

Gift One- An “I Love You” basket. Make a basket out of all the things you love about him. You love his big heart? Buy a heart shaped box of chocolate for the basket. You love that he’s a nerd at heart? Buy him what makes him a nerd, whether it’s a season of the “Big Bang Theory” or the last “Harry Potter” movie, he’ll love it! Just be sure to label all the items with why you love him.

Gift Two- A cigar and liquor basket. Fill a basket with a pint of his favorite liquor, some really nice cigars and a few of his favorite snacks and he’ll love you forever!

Gift Three-Give him a stay-cation. Arrange for a massage therapist to come to your house and order some his favorite meal from his favorite restaurant. He’ll have the perfect day without even having to leave the house!

Okay sassy gals, we all have experienced a horrible boss once before. They’ve made you cry, they’ve made you scream and they’ve certainly made you question your sanity. So how did you cope with their obnoxious and oh so frustrating behavior?

Are you still dealing with their crazy antics?

Have no fear the sassy gal is here to offer you words of wisdom to maintain your sanity with out shedding a tear.

The first tip- Be honest. If your boss is belittling you-speak up! We are all human ladies, they are no better than us! The key to getting your point across is to say it with the proper tone.

The second tip- Treat yourself and give yourself the credit you deserve. Whether it is a night out with friends or a night in with your man having the “you” time so very important.

The third tip-If confrontation is not your thing try writing them a letter/email. People don’t know things unless you tell them sometimes. So find your voice and use it!

Don’t be afraid to ask a co-worker if they feel the same way, sometimes all you need is a venting buddy.

Fill this Sassy Gal in with your tips and words of wisdom on how to deal with an unruly boss!

Is your New Year’s resolution to lose weight, “get in shape”, to save money or all of the above? Well Sassy Gal’s this gal is urging you to consider another resolution-to donate more of your time.

I could list a million things taking place in this world that we can help change for the better. We just need to find the self-motivation to help contribute to that change. 

As Gandhi once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

How can you be the change?

Below are just a handful of ideas of how you can help change the world!

• Recycle!
• I know that the weather is getting quite nippy, but try walking to the places you can-especially when the weather gets warmer
• Donate you clothes! Clean out the clothes you no longer fit into and donate them!
• Donate your canned food that you’ll never use! Buy too many cans of cranberry sauce or corn this Thanksgiving? Donate them to your local homeless shelter!
• Take the initiative to start a canned food drive at your place of work or neighborhood.

What are some of your ideas? The Sassy Gal can’t wait to hear them!

Can you believe it Sassy Gals, Christmas Eve is tomorrow! Where did this past year go? Tomorrow is that wonderful and Sunday are those wonderful days where you see those relatives you typically only see once a year. What will you wear?

Let’s be honest ladies, you know you want everyone to be thinking how good you look! So let’s make sure you look your best!

What look are you going for, Holiday festive? Dressing up? Dressing down? The choices are endless! Below are some solutions to your wardrobe woes!

Is Holiday festive the look you’re going for? Opaque tights are the rage, why not pop on over to your local Marshalls, TJMaxx or Target and invest in a pair of sweater tights. Pair those with a fab emerald, red or sapphire dress and you can call it a day. Need another option? Try dark skinny jeans with an ugly holiday sweater. Be sure to sass up your hair so you look put together, but with a fun holiday twist.

If dressing up is look for you then you should most certainly invest in some skinny black dress pants or opaque tights. Black is great because it is slimming and “dressy”.  Pair those pants with a great scoop neck top and flats! Those tights can be worn with a sassy skirt or dress. Your options are endless with these two great items!

Not one for dressing up? Neither is this sassy gal, a great dress down look is skinny jeans and a sweater. Through on your fav pair of skinny jeans (no tears please!) and pair it with a sweater, cardigan or sassy top.

These looks are simple and achievable! What are some of your Holiday wardrobe tips?

Okay sassy gals, it is t-minus 5 days until Christmas, how are you getting into the Christmas spirit? Are you feeling awfully scrooge-like? Is your inner Grinch coming out? Well, sassy gals it is high time you stop saying, “Bah-Humbug” and getting into the Holiday spirit. The holidays come but one a year so why not celebrate them with all you’ve got! Break out your ugly sweater, pour yourself a glass of eggnog and start enjoying all the wonderful little things that come with the holiday season.

This sassy gal is tired of hearing complaint after complaint about this Holiday Season. Especially the ones sounding like this, “It doesn’t feel like Christmas,” “I don’t have any money” and so on. Listen up sassy gals, the feeling of Christmas comes from you! Decorate your house, do some festive activities and treat yourself to some Christmas treats! Furthermore, Christmas and money do not go hand in hand. I know, wild right? The thought of Christmas and money not being connected is just bizarre to some, but believe it or not: it’s not! Christmas is about family, friends and the special moments you share with each of them.

So sassy gals, I challenge you to get into the Christmas spirit! I want to know how you celebrate the holidays!

Happy Holidays!
