Style

To the mom making creative Pinterest valentines, I applaud you.  I applaud you because either you have a cooperative child who is happy to spend the time tying, cutting and gluing.  Or I applaud you because you have children like mine who you struggle to get to sign their names to their valentines and you STILL spent the extra time […]

If you pass me on the street and think how did I become so very gorgeous, there are two products I’d have to tell you about that explain it all. It all started with this magical mascara…Younique. I’ll let you be the judge of it. Amazing, right??!! It is this incredible 3D mascara.  I was apprehensive to use at first […]

Everyone seems to accept…damn near embrace, the fact that teenagers beat to their own drum and dress however they want.

When my mom first encouraged me to wear a bra I insisted on only wearing sports bras because I felt that they weren’t really bras. Once I realized what control my boobs had over men […]

My first solo mission with three torpedoes (yes, I am describing my children as missiles of mass destruction) flying directly towards me has been going pretty well. My day has been strategic to include a long morning separation where they spent hours at the gym daycare. Usually this provides solace in an otherwise anxiety filled world. Today, on the other […]

Recently Angelina Jolie came out to the world to share something so very personal. I am blown away by the strength of a woman who is noted for her sexuality. She has made a business out of pouty lips and large breasts. To tell the world that she had a double mastectomy could in some ways cast a negative cloud […]

Over the years I have worn a variety of different uniforms to meet the needs of the variety of jobs I have had. From my red polo shirt with jeans and an apron as a Chili’s waitress to my fancy suits as a pharmaceutical rep, I have always dressed my part. Recently I may have overdone this. Yesterday while adorning […]
