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. [...]

Power Rangers: Not Just for Kids. Seriously.

March 21, 2013

As a mom of a little boy, I guess I thought my life would be about cars and trucks and trains and airplanes and general cutesy stuff like that. A couple of facts about MY little boy: He was never a big fans of trains. Especially Thomas the Train. He hated Thomas. I can’t say I [...]

TWENTY FOUR HOURS and FIFTY DOLLARS

February 15, 2013

How’s that for an attention grabbing headline? Remember all the way back to a week or so ago when I was talking about delicious sandwiches and paninis with avocado and bacon and cheese and stuff? You all told me how good I made a sandwich look (here’s a reminder in case you forgot). But in [...]

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 [...]

A Ripple in the LEGO® Force

January 28, 2013

I grew up a big fan of LEGO®, along with my older brother and sister. We didn’t have fancy sets or instruction books. We simply had an old zippered suitcase full of LEGO® and our imaginations. Many early mornings, much to the dismay of my parents, we could be heard raking endlessly through the bricks [...]

Unexpected Gaming Delights, Just in Time for Christmas

December 6, 2012

This time of year I tend to get more pitches than usual asking me to review products. And generally, I have a hard time saying no. If it’s a fairly well known product and I would simply love to have it, I’ll say yes. If it’s not a fairly well known product but it looks [...]
