Jinx: You Owe Me a Coke

Check out this article on Planet Green about how to have great looking skin the natural way. Sounds very similar to what someone else I know said a while ago…hint, hint. Nothing I said was revolutionary or new, it’s information that is readily available but people just choose to ignore it. Maybe if it comes from […]

Snakes on a Plane

It may just be my personality, but I hate it when something becomes so trendy that everyone has it. If I happen to discover something that I love, I get annoyed when the word spreads. Hmm…maybe I shouldn’t be telling you about this then. Okay, I will tell you but then I will have to […]

Back from the Dead

 
Imagine that you have not eaten real food for days and the sight of a glass of water makes you nauseous. You would be where I have been this week. After clutching the toilet for dear life and wishing I could just rip out my intestines and put them in a drawer for a little […]

Sara Snow Gets Even Fresher

In this month’s issue of Lucky Magazine, Sara Snow is featured in the Shop with the pros section. I love Lucky Magazine and have had a subscription (thanks to my lovely SIL) for years. The only thing that I don’t like about the magazine is the “work attire” they often feature. It’s like work attire […]

New Year’s Resolutions

After an uneventful New Year’s Eve, my thoughts turn today to the year ahead. I’m not a resolution type of person but I do like to take stock each year and make a plan of action that I think I might be able to stick to. There’s power in numbers so I am encouraging anyone […]

Spa Day Anyone?

Next month I am going to NYC to get into lots of trouble with my girls as a belated birthday present. We are going to eat, shop and completely indulge. In my attempt to “party like it’s 1999″, I will probably end up just drinking too much and fall asleep at 9:30. Sidebar: Have you ever […]

Not your Average Cup of Joe

I came across this recipe for a homemade coffee scrub and I just had to share. I used to never drink coffee but now I can’t make it through the day without at least one cup. This is a good way to recycle the grounds. It is a little messy but well worth the effort […]

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

 
I consider myself an expert on packing for travel. I have it down to a science at this point. That is why it is so shocking that I made it all the way home for Christmas and forgot my soap. I blame it on mommy brain. The hubby’s stuff; all there. All the endless baby crap, check. […]

Handmade Delights

 
If you are still on the hunt for last minute gifts, check out Etsy. For yourself that is, because they are not likely to arrive in time for Christmas…slacker. They only sell handmade goods. It’s the perfect place for someone such as myself who doesn’t want to contribute to the consumerism trend, but well I […]
