Well, last week’s spring ‘one and done’ dress blog seemed to hit a nerve with you guys!  Are you now wondering what to wear over that dress if you need another layer? Join the club, because this is a struggle we all face! Finding the perfect pairing is hard work and we are here to

By Chrissie Kremer   When Joanna Strober started having hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms, she couldn’t get the answers she wanted from her primary care doctor.
