unique hand made jewelry.  Unfortunately she doesn’t sell online but if you are ever in Minneapolis you’ll have to stop by. 

Minneapolis has many things to offer to many people, the shopping is wonderful, culture events, plays, dance theater and even skiing.  When I was in high school my dad took me to Minneapolis on a business trip with him.  He was a pilot, in those days working for Western Airlines, after a day of shopping the next day was my first-ever ski trip, right in Minneapolis.  I don’t remember the name of the resort but it seemed like it was close to down town.  I wonder if it is still there?  I haven’t been to Minneapolis in the winter for 30  years but the summers are great with much to see and do. Whatever else you do don’t forget to check out Max’s Minneapolis Boutique, they are located at The Shops at Excelsior and Grand I St. Louis Park, which is a fun place to visit.

When the owner of Max’s was asked why she doesn’t sell online, she said she wanted to be able to keep a good selection of one-of-a-kind items and that makes mass selling difficult. Something personal that just you own or give as a gift is a special gift, hand made by artist who are passionate about what they make and do and it shows in the art they create.

There are many breakfast foods you can enjoy which will also help give you energy to start your day.  No excuses.  If you are in a hurry you can get breakfast on your way to work and eat it when you get there.  Plus, there are so many choices available than cold cereal and black coffee.  For example, Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee has so many varieties of coffee available.  You can visit http://www.jamaicabluemountaincoffee.com to see their coffees and products.  I had no idea that there were so many different types of coffee.  If you find it hard to get out of bed, maybe having some Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee would be something to make the morning more enjoyable.  Either way, use your creativity and find new ways to start your day off on the right foot.
