Yes, Wednesday is here dear readers, dazed and confused we are barreling down into the madness of 2024!

We begin with the most important news of the year so far, voting is open for the Trader Joe Customer Choice Awards. Voting ends 1/9/24 at 11:59pm Pacific. Five products are excluded because they are in the Hall of Fame (Mandarin orange chicken [of course!], soy chorizo, etc].

ON the free-streaming front, starting at 12pm ET on WEdnesday at Creative LIVE ON-AIR we have a 5.5 hour class by Lindsay Adler, “Posing 101: Couples, Weddings and Families”. Posing for photography that is, not how to become an instagram pose(u)r 😉

UPDATE: “Top Deals Mode” continues at the Adorama dailies, while nutritional and wellness and fitness supplements and assorted things rule the day at the Amazon USA Gold Box
