A Hit and Miss for your Own Skin Health

May 17, 2013

I can’t tell if I get a disproportionate number of requests to review skincare items or if I’m just more apt to say yes to all of these promises of magical skincare. Or maybe it’s because I’m “of a certain age” and still looking for that fountain of youth. It’s not that I’m totally unhappy [...]

Terrible Name, Amazing Dresses

May 1, 2013

You know how there are fashion bloggers that make everything look fabulous? Is it because of their thin, waif-like body? Or their innate sense of style? Or their ridiculous fashion budget? Or is it simply all the free stuff they get? Probably all of the above. And that’s what I had in mind when I asked my [...]

These Boots ARE Made for Walking

April 19, 2013

You know that Nancy Sinatra song, “These Boots are Made for Walking”? (Admit it – that song just totally played in your mind. And now it’s probably stuck there. Sorry for that.) That song has meaning for me and it has to do with my name. There’s this long story about how I got my [...]

The Magic Wand of Fashion

April 17, 2013

Wouldn’t it be great if we had a magic wand for all of the fashion faux pas we saw out there? With a simple wave, we could get rid of high-waisted, acid washed jeans paired with a snug fitting sweatshirt, nice white Reebok leather sneakers, and a fanny pack. Or even something as simple as [...]

Another Anti-Aging Cream… but does it work?

April 2, 2013

I’ve done a fair share of skincare reviews over the years. It’s not because I happen to be a beauty blogger or because I specialize in skincare. It’s just that I happen to be a middle-aged woman who trying to fight the signs of it all over her face. I suppose it could be worse. [...]

BB Cream Demystified: Can Beauty Come in a Balm?

February 10, 2013

Let’s get down to business right away. BB stands for Beauty Balm, or sometimes called Blemish Balm. It’s a trend in skincare/makeup (in care you hadn’t heard). But do we need another damn product? Especially one that can do it all (meaning: hydrates, corrects, evens and perfects your skin)? I decided to try a sample [...]

That Time I Met Bob Dylan

January 31, 2013

The year was 1987 and I had just been to a Dylan-Dead concert. (That’s Bob Dylan and the Grateful Deal for you youngsters). I wasn’t a deadhead nor did I aspire to be. I was just a young impressionable high school student finally getting a chance to taste a little bit of life, courtesy of [...]

The Insanity of My Boot Shopping

December 28, 2012

I have two problems when it comes to shopping. One is related to the product and one is related to the means of purchase. When I’m out and about and find something I want to purchase, no problem. I whip out the plastic, make my purchase, and worry about it 30 days later when the [...]

My Fall Fashion Borders on Fetish

November 15, 2012

I never thought I had any hoarding tendencies. I mean, I like stuff. And I do tend to save a lot. But I’m a sentimentalist, not a hoarder. Or so I thought. When Jessica from A Parent in America posed this weeks #VlogMom topic, I thought it would be a quick and easy video. She asked: [...]

The Self-Loathing Is Strong With This One

September 24, 2012

I discovered something about myself this weekend and it wasn’t what I was expecting. I attended the Social Good Summit in New York City (more to come on this later) and got to hang out with about twenty of the most interesting bloggers I know. We chatted about everything from our passions to our business [...]
