Back to School, Back to Beauty: Soak Nails

I start back at school in just over a week.  Needless to say, that requires some shopping (yay!) and some basic grooming. Working from home all summer, and honestly not getting it out all that much to socialize outside of with friends, I’ve kind of let things go a bit. Coincidentally, Spa Week starts next [...]

The Rarely Talked About Side Effect of Blogging

When I first started blogging, I never really gave much thought to the fact that people would be reading my thoughts. During this time, I was already keeping an online journal where I did have people reading my thoughts. And as you would expect, you write differently for both situations. When I got started, [...]

You Can Get Over Your Break up in 21 Days!!

My real-life, good friend Lisa Steadman, relationship coach extraordinaire and best selling author, has a brand new book coming out today that will seriously rock your world if you’re going through a breakup or struggling to heal and move on from past heartbreak. It’s called It’s A Breakup, Not A Breakdown The Workbook: A 21 [...]

I Seem to Have App Envy

The question is…do they have an app for that?  I mean they have apps for everything these days. Though I am a bit confused as to why anyone would need a shaking baby app, but well, maybe I just don’t get it since I’m not a mom and all that. But really, I am quite [...]

Respondez Vous S’il Vous Plait

Okay, I’m going to go on a bit of a rant here, please forgive me.  But why is it that some people seem to have such challenges responding to an invitation? I know I’m not alone here as I heard about it (and experienced it first hand) during the wedding planning days. Yes, I had more [...]

The Birthday Plans Continue

Things are progressing along nicely in LA Blogger Gal’s 40th Birthday Extravaganza planning. I do believe I’ve settled on a location.  With luck, we’ll be outside in this amazing garden setting, chowing down on Greek food (my fave!).  A friend of mine recommended the location from a place where she’s eaten before.  And since she’s [...]

It’s Almost That Time

Yes…it’s almost my 40th birthday! Holy cow, I can’t believe I’m going to be 40.  Remember when you were just a kid and forty just seemed OLD.  Well according to Sephora (and their Beauty Insider email), I’ll be 40 in less than two weeks. Oh.My.God!  Less than two weeks! Maybe we should put a little perspective in [...]

Damn, I Forgot.

Don’t you hate when you walk around all day with a blog post in your head. Not just any blog post, you know…a damn good blog post. And poof! it’s gone by the time you finally get to sitting down and writing. I hate that. Oh well. It happens to everyone. I mean, [...]

I Feel Even More Fashion Challenged Than Before

I had my first virtual styling session yesterday. It was pretty cool. First I had to send over the photos I mentioned the other day. Then we had to open a Skype video chat. Messing with the lighting was a little tough, but I think I got it right. Thing is, I really [...]

Looking for Make-Ahead Recipes

Calling all my cooking friends… A good friend of mine is about due to have baby #2. I don’t believe they need much, so I figured instead of a gift they probably don’t need, I’d make them some food. I figure this will make things easier for them and will be much appreciated. I’m thinking about [...]
