Ah, Spring! The sun is setting a little later every evening, the birds are evidently hosting a world conference outside my window every morning, and the temperatures are finally starting to warm up where I live. The changing seasons are a fantastic time to look through your wardrobe, clean out the pieces you haven’t worn in a year, and identify the gaps you need to fill.

Just this morning, I thought about—wait for it—shorts. At the tail end of last summer, I found myself reaching for pants and jeans more often than my beloved 5-inch inseam shorts. Blame it on changing trends, an aging body, or just being bored with the options out there, but it seems that overnight, I couldn’t fathom wearing the same styles and silhouettes I’d been donning for years. Keep scrolling to shop some of my current favorite pairs.

My goal for this season? To try and find the styles that’ll take me into the summer (and hopefully the next few summers) and keep me looking fresh—a rebrand

As your holiday shopping, check your websites twice, with more shopping comes more opportunities for scammers | News

PADUCAH — While you’re shopping online this holiday season, remember the famous phrase, ‘checking it twice,’ in reference to double-checking the sites you’re shopping at. This time of the year, scammers prey on consumers buying online. Last year, consumers reported losing nearly $9 billion to fraud, according to the Federal Trade Commission. That’s a 30% increase from 2021.

When it comes to the different ways people get scammed, the most common way is an imposter scam, according to the FTC. An imposter scam is basically when a scammer lies about who they are to get your money. The second most common scam involves fake websites, which are also a risk this time of year. On the WPSD Facebook page we asked viewers if they had fallen victim to these scams. Several said yes.

Brittany Bailey expressed that she was scammed by a fake Bath and Body Works website. Once the money was taken out of her account, she never received her order, and there was no tracking number or way to contact them. Christina Hammons also expressed a similar experience online. She said she bought a discounted Thor’s hammer tool box set as a

It’s finally spring, which means you’re likely ready to get started on your spring cleaning. Personally, I’ve avoided cleaning out my closet for the last few years. Like many of you reading this, my body went through some drastic changes during the pandemic years, and I’ve held onto all of my old clothes—both the bigger and smaller pieces—in hopes that one day they’ll fit properly (or serve as fashion-insurance when my body inevitably changes again!).

A few days ago, it occurred to me that I have about a hundred T-shirts—and only wear about 10 of them regularly—so I’ve decided that this is the weekend I take inventory and make sense of the mess. I’ll be going through my entire wardrobe, trying on every single item, parting with the pieces I no longer love, and cataloging everything else. If you’ve been holding onto all of your old clothes a bit too long, I welcome you to join me in this monumental undertaking.

This week, I’m beyond excited to introduce you to Vita Kari.
