Dear Princess Darby,

Help! I want a new me. It's fall and summer fun is over. I'm dreading winter.

Any suggestions?

Depressed.



Dear New Identity,

You must be in be living in the snowbelt area! A new frock or two, leather belt, bag and shoes always does the trick for me.

Have a day at the spa, it not only rejuvenates the soul, washes away bad dates, bad hair, and a bad day!

Before you lament over winter, enjoy the fall. Nature's color change is beautiful. There is so much fun planning an evening out for Halloween. What's your costume? I already started, I have a beautiful red feathered mask!

Start looking for a quick winter getaway. There are so many island trips on sale. Go to Orlando to Disney World and look at the wonder of the Magic Kingdom decorated for Christmas. Plan a cross country ski trip, it's fun and refreshing.
