If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I just realized that I’ve had the same hair dryer for 7 years.  I remember the day I bought it @ the Walmart 3 towns over I was huge pregnant with boy2001 (as a side note I won’t type “pregg*rs” when you’ve [...]

It’s a fact, heart disease is the number one killer of women according to the American Heart Association.  February 1, 2008 is National Wear Red Day, so don’t forget to wear Red on that first day of Fashion Week and make a real statement. I lost my beloved mother in law to heart disease, she [...]

There are some products out there that are so good it doesn’t matter who they are marketed to.  Case in point: Johnson’s Bedtime Bath!  Much like Secret deodorant is strong enough for a man but made for a woman, Johnson’s Bedtime Bath is made to lull children into a sleepy state but even if you don’t have [...]

I love this look from Revlon, those eyes, that light lip, just gorgeous.  
I want my eyes to smolder, BEDROOM EYES to mesmerize my man.  The last time I tried a “bedroom look” after the kids were subdued in their cots it was  disaster.  I emerged from the bathroom with a new nightgown (I later realized he [...]

I just spent the day in these beauties!  Head to Target to get your very own pair of Loeffler Randall for Target Rosette Ballerina Slippers.  I could do without the scrunched up look but they are comfortable  even if they don’t look cute in my mud area.  I really wanted to get a pair of the [...]

Durian?  I ate it twice, the first time is a very long and somewhat embarassing story.  The second was in a small inn in Thailand, pressured by locals I fell victim to tourist thinking - if I don’t eat this I’m not getting the full experience and if I don’t eat it I’ll regret it for the rest [...]

My favorite lip color right now is Desert Sunset from Maybelline’s Moisture Extreme line.  I really like Moisture Extreme because it makes my lips softer without wearing chapstick.  I don’t like to wear chapstick under my lipcolor (does anyone?) so the result is usually feathered dry lips which is the absolute worst look ever.  I’m also [...]
