Today’s Fashion Trends
NATIONAL POLKA DOT DAY dares us to wear anything we have with polka dots. Be the trendsetter and sport a polka dot skirt or bowtie.

NATIONAL HOT SAUCE DAY brings the heat. The right sauce for the right palate will add the right flavor as well as a little excitement. It’s easy to go a little overboard with this stuff and if that happens there will be a price to pay. Cholula, Tabasco and Franks are all great to add a little zip.
BLONDE BROWNIE DAY leaves the chocolate in the cupboard. Made with brown sugar instead of cocoa, these tasty treats have a distinct molasses flavor. Nuts, butterscotch and toffee are great to add and if you absolutely have to have chocolate, you can always throw in some chocolate chips.
