Kathy Griffin's Rx For Storing Christmas Ornaments!

                          Put Away Your Ornaments! 

Kathy Griffin, just spent New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper.
And today: It's time to put away the Christmas tree and ornaments.
We're not sure if Ms. Griffin has a tree or if she puts it up herself.
One thing we do know, that putting away the ornaments
this way is something Kathy may do as well.

How would she put the ornaments away?
She'd placed them in cardboard wine boxes. 
Why wine boxes?
Kathy jokes that her 91 yr. old Mom drinks boxed wine 
everyday.

And if you have some wine boxes lying around and you don't
have the original boxes, then by all means- store your ornaments
this way.
The wine boxes have dividers, which make them perfect for protecting
your precious and delicate ornaments.

And if you're not a fan of boxed wine, head to your local wine
or liquor store anyway, they may have some empty boxes leftover. 
When you get the boxes home- clean them, let them dry and then fold or cut
the cardboard dividers as needed, and place 2 or 3 tissue-wrapped
ornaments in each slot, making sure the heavier ornaments
are on the bottom and the lighter ones on top.

That's it- A post Christmas tip that may or may not be from Kathy
Griffin. 

Good Luck!

Kathy Griffin's Rx For Leftover Wine!

                       Kathy Griffin's Rx For Making Wine Last! 

Kathy Griffin- in all of her outspoken glory
will be back on display in her new talk show,
"Kathy" on the Bravo network. On thing Ms. Griffin loves
talking about is her mom's love of wine.

Boxed wine to be exact, and although Ms. Griffin makes light
of her mom's drinking, it may be the reason she's in such great
health at age 91.
That's right, Kathy's mom is 91, and according to a number 
of articles on the benefits of wine, it may work for you as well.

If you're convinced and you're ready to take up the habit that's
been a mainstay in the Griffin household for decades,remember a
few tips before starting, tips like...
a) make it one glass a day, no overindulging.
b) make sure the rest of your lifestyle is top-notch.
In other words, make sure you eat well and get some exercise. 
c) avoid smoking, and that includes second-hand smoke.
d) waste not-want not. Buying wine can get expensive, and
if you don't earn a salary like Kathy Griffin you may forgo
wine and miss out on the benefits, but hold on-there's help
for you. To avoid pouring out wine and wasting it, do the following...
Pour what's leftover into a smaller bottle or jar that's just large
enough to hold the liquid and close it up tightly. Doing this reduces
the head space so there's less exposure to oxygen, keeping the wine
fresh for a little longer.

That's it- start your wine drinking (one glass a day) and you too,
may live to 91 and beyond.

Good Luck!

Kathy Griffin's Rx To Control Appetite!

                               Drink More Wine! 

This tip isn't really from Kathy Griffin, but from her mom.
Kathy Griffin-the outspoken comedienne makes no secret about her
mom's love affair with wine. Boxed wined to be exact, and why not-
she's over 90 yrs. of age, so it must be working.

Those out there that are frightened of the wine-due to calories,
are making big mistakes. Why? Having wine with your dinner
helps you consume less food and the compounds in wine block some
of the fat from your meal. And more good news: having a glass of wine
with your lunch or dinner means your 35% less likely to be overweight.

So, are you ready and willing to add a glass of wine to your meals?
If so, make sure to have only 1 glass of wine with your meal, (not before) 
and if you're still not convinced-look at French women and Teri Hatcher
(an admitted wine lover). Their love of the wine seems to be working.

Good Luck!
