The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Nicole Paloma Expressing yourself and feeling beautiful is the true drive behind style, and knowing that and incorporating it into his or her art is the mark of a true fashion designer. Nicole Paloma Rockhill has been using her artistic talents to create things from the time she was old enough to use a pair of scissors, but she never thought she would spend her life creating clothes until she bought her first sewing machine in 2007. Her journey began in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, as she started making things for her daughters, Laurel and Laine, and her girls' line eventually evolved into a women's collection. Since then, Nicole has been working tirelessly to create unique, comfortable, and stylish handmade pieces that reflect her fearless and unique personality while complementing the coastal environment in which they are created. Soft whites, sandy colors, and heather greys that emanate the beauty of nature have become the staple palette of her collections, creating a dreamscape in floaty, soft fabrics such as cotton, silk, and . Nicole's first retail store, located in the creative community of Grayton Beach, brings together coastal charm and ethereal beauty with driftwood hanging from the ceiling and the jewelry of Adorn by Samouce complementing the clothing in an eclectically chic mix of flirty and rock ?n' roll. Preferring to keep her creations special by making them by hand and adhering to a made-in-the-USA standard, Nicole's creations range from casual resort wear to one-of-a-kind couture pieces. The first Nicole Paloma couture collection debuted in 2013 at South Walton Fashion Week, and quickly became a crowd favorite of the entire weekend. Rather than following what's trendy, her designs stem from her own personal style and from listening to the customers in her Grayton Beach store. By surrounding herself with positive and creative influences, Nicole strives to hone her skills as a designer while writing a story with each piece she creates. Her clothing should speak to others in the sense that they imagine where they might wear the silk charmeuse Lion Skirt or breezy Turks pants.

Armed with her dreams, creativity, and a mind for business, Nicole continues to make sustainable, flattering styles that women feel beautiful in, and will go on pushing the boundaries of handmade designs for everyone.
