The cold and flu season is upon us and now is the time to pamper yourself. According to Alternative Medicine, compiled by the Burton Goldberg Group, cold and flu viruses are the most common afflictions attacking the body’s upper respiratory tract, with 40% of the U.S. population being stricken with flu each year. Get plenty of rest and try to keep your stress level low.

We offer lots of soothing products whether you actually have a cold or the flu or are trying to avoid them. Sipping tea by the fire with one of our Kozy Kritterz around your neck is a great stress reliever. Lying in a darkened room with a cozy pair of our Frankie & Johnny PJs and one of our eye shades is another terrific way to relax. We have lots of fun mugs to accommodate your tea and long lasting aromatic candles to soothe the soul.

You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Cruised! 

Every day, more and more people are discovering the all-inclusive pleasures of a cruise vacation. More singles, families, couples, honeymooners, second honeymooners and groups of friends are sailing away on the vacation of their lives. Last year alone approximately seven million people enjoyed a cruise vacation. When you add it all up, it’s easy to see why.  The price of your ticket includes all of your meals and in-between snacks on-board; your stateroom, activities, parties and entertainment; plus, an exciting voyage to some of the most enchanting and culturally-enriching places in the world. You’ll find that a cruise ship is a floating resort, with all the things a fine resort has to offer and more! You’ll meet new friends who share the same tastes and interests as you.

The hassles of an ordinary vacation are completely eliminated. A cruise is one convenient package. You don’t have to worry about making dinner or nightclub reservations, running to make flight connections as you travel from one destination to another, or packing and unpacking. You can lie back and be completely pampered. Or, go non-stop. Dine like never before. Enjoy one great show after another. Let your cares float away! It’s no wonder that more people are taking cruise vacations than ever before. And once they get a taste of cruising, they come back for more, again and again. 

FACT – Cruises have a higher percentage of satisfied customers than any other vacation experience. Ask your CLIA-affiliated travel agent about cruising. Chances are, he or she will recommend a cruise vacation from personal experience.

Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as “Negro History Week” and later as “Black History Month,” but, black history had barely begun to be studied-or even documented-when the tradition started.  It was not until the 20th century that they gained a respectable presence in the history books. We owe the celebration of Black History Month and the the study of black history, to Dr. Carter G. Woodson.

Woodson chose the second week of February for Negro History Week because it marks the birthdays of two men who greatly influenced the black American population, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.
