Nourish Yourself to Deal with Time Change
When people say they dislike the annual “Fall back” time change with “every fiber of their being”, turns out, that is not an exaggeration. According to an article published by National Public Radio, research shows that every cell in our bodies has a timekeeping mechanism. The one hour time change actually makes a huge difference in our eating, sleeping, and social patterns, and it affects our bodies as a whole.
To better manage the time change, scientists and Fancy a Cookie suggest the following:
1) Go to bed an hour earlier - after some of Fancy a Cookie’s fun fall cookies!
2) Eat high protein foods that nourish your body - such as milk with your cookies!
3) Eat an early, light dinner - followed by a tasty and beautiful Fancy a Cookie!
4) Socialize, and avoid “hibernation” - invite some friends over to decorate our Fall or Winter palette cookies!
5) Get some natural light during the day - Bundle up and enjoy your cookies on your porch!
The Keys to Happiness
"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” - Dalai Lama XIV
Happiness is found with yourself, and relationships with others, according to the UK publication, The Independent, citing The Harvard Study of Adult Development. Listing 9 different characteristics that most happy people have, the study shows that relationships, time, and activities are the main keys to happiness.
Forever in the pursuit of happiness, we are pleased to report that Fancy a Cookie (FAC) can offer you assistance with your happiness goals. People who are happiest:
1) Have relationships with others. FAC take: Bake cookies with family and friends!
2) Value time more than money. FAC take: Baking cookies is time well spent with others.
3) Have money to pay the bills. FAC take: FAC is an economical activity that many can enjoy!
4) Participate in reflection of the good, simple things (ie. smell the roses). FAC take: or at least stop and smell the cookies!
5) Engage in acts of kindness, helping others. FAC take: Give your cookies to friends, neighbors, family - someone who just needs a cookie today!
6) Exercise. FAC take: Run around your kitchen while the cookies are baking.
7) Spend time and money on experiences rather than things. FAC take: We are an experience in a box or at a cookie studio party!
8) Meditate, spend time in the moment. FAC take: You are SO in the moment while you are decorating your cookies. Follow a pattern or express your creativity - cookies are an edible canvas!
9) Spend time with friends. FAC take: That is what we are saying! Gather your friends and bake some cookies, or decorate your cookies and drop off at a friend’s house. Either way, FAC is a great door-opener. Don’t forget the wine!

Baking For Others Has Invaluable Health Benefits
It is easy for me to tell my high school daughter that her world right now seems full of drama and stress, but that when her world gets bigger - i.e. right after HS graduation - she will look back on the past few years with the realization that we can only recognize once we venture outside the “bubble”. Realizing this method might be construed as dismissive, I decided to redirect her energy toward efforts to helping other people. So, we went to the kitchen.
Psychologists are touting the effects of baking to help others. Baking, say leading psychologists, is a form of creativity, self-expression, and communication. Because when we spend time baking alone, we become more mindful of our thoughts and feelings. When we spend time baking with others, we increase communication, closeness, and strengthen emotional bonds. These activities can lead to increased happiness, and reduced stress.
Whether we need some alone time, or time with family or friends, turn on the oven and get out the mixing bowls - some happiness therapy is well within reach - gather, decorate, and enjoy! www.fancyacookie.com

Get Creative and Get Talking!
The benefits of baking are evident to most who enjoy relaxing in the kitchen and creating something yummy to share with family and friends. One benefit, however, that may not be apparent is the communication and bonding aspect that happens when people and create together.
As most parents know, getting kids and teens to open up and communicate is challenging. If you are looking for more than the usual “fine”, and “good” responses when talking with our kids, Psychology Today recommends doing something creative with your children. According to the article about communicating with kids and teens, creative activities help to establish a relaxed atmosphere, in which young people are more comfortable opening up. So, gather the kids, get out the paints, clay, musical instruments, or baking tools, and let’s talk!
Fancy a Cookie is fun, sharable cooking decorating. We provide the whole experience in a box – delicious, prebaked naked cookies, decorative icing, and all the tools and tips you need to become an instant cookie artist. Buy a kit for decorating at home, or join a cookie decorating party near you. For more information, visit www.fancyacookie.com. Gather, create, and share with Fancy a Cookie!

It’s official! “People are happier when they have an experience rather than making a purchase.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/20/business/smallbusiness/paint-and-sip-classes.html
My husband puts colored stickers on our wine bottles so I will not drink the most expensive bottle on any given night. Yep. Green stickers for daily wine - the “This one is perfect for Old El Paso Taco Tuesday” bottles; Yellow stickers for wine we serve guests or friends who possess a marginal appreciation for good wine, but who are most likely to chase a good bottle with a shot of Fireball; and red stickers for wine reserved for special occasions: celebrations, friends we have not seen in a while, serious discussions (Did you get the mole out of the pool filter? Short straw her how to drive.), and people with exceptionally seasoned wine palates (Patron Silver chaser).
So, on Wednesday night, it was time to open a bottle of wine. Hmmm – which one…? That is a more difficult question than you might think. When I reward myself at the end of the day for life’s small victories, the green stickers can seem rather anticlimactic – less like a recognition of “job well done!”, and more like a trophy for “participation”. And let’s be clear, I only know enough about wine to be dangerous. I don’t possess a mental encyclopedia about varietals, regions, climates, or vintages. My palate is just developed enough to know right from wrong.
Standing in the open wine fridge, I almost succumb to the beckoning of the green wine stickers, when my 16-year-old calls from her summer program in New York for her daily check-in. I am running down my list of questions and recommendations to reaffirm my role as Mom and seasoned New Yorker - “If you dab the grease on top of the pizza slice with a napkin, it’s won’t drip when you fold it in half to eat it.” “’Curbing’ your dog means picking up its poop from the sidewalk.” “Yes, Times Square stores offer a fascinating variety of bobbleheads…” – when I finally ask the standard un-reaching Mom question, “What did you have for breakfast?” Unhesitatingly, she responds “A cake pop from Starbucks, ‘cause, yeah… why not?”
I hang up the phone, reopen the wine fridge door, grab a bottle of the red sticker wine, and a stack of cookies as dinner. ‘Cause, yeah… why not?
