When I was in my late twenties I worked with a hardcore fashionista we lovingly called Jen Gen-Xer. She was always impeccably groomed and stylish. As I approached my 30th birthday, she came and sat down in my office and said, “Bridge, it’s time for the talk.” I asked what talk and she pointed to [...]

When your child learns to go to the restroom, it’s wonderful. I love it when I can praise them, and then go and buy those cute little underwear to put on their none fluffy bottoms. However, I dread going out of the house when they are young, because they have to use public restrooms. Our [...]

I’m bad at hair. I’ve always been bad at hair. I will go get my hair done and as they are styling it I know in my soul that it will never look that way again. It turns out they make something for people like me. The Misikko Infrashine Flat Iron makes my hair look [...]

I am not one who likes to wear a lot of perfume, but I do like to smell clean and pretty. My mother has always had good taste in perfumes and colognes, so when I found out she bought a new fragrance for her collection, I had to try it. Can I say I am [...]

Whenever I go for a pedicure, I always go for salons that stock OPI polish. I love picking out a bottle from the display and flipping it over to read the fun name of the shade. With names like A-Rose at Dawn…Broke By Noon (sparkling medium pink shade), I’m Not a Waitress (shimmering red), Skinny [...]

With the first day of summer around the corner and temperatures rising, now is the time to start paying attention to those feet that have been hibernating in closed toe shoes all winter. I like to start with a pedicure, but sometimes life gets in the way and I can’t make my regular appointment so [...]

I have a difficult time finding balance not only in my life, but on my face as well. There are a lot of areas (such as the T-Zone) that seem to pump excess oil mid-day and then there are other areas where I must pick off the dry skin in the morning after applying make-up. [...]

Imagine my shock when I found the Ped Egg at Walgreens this weekend. I have seen the Ped Egg (as advertised on T.V.) and I knew it was tough enough to peel an orange, so maybe there really was hope for my poor dry, calloused feet. I think my husband got injured last week when [...]

Always a skeptic of the “all natural,” I took my samples from the Origins Representative speaking at my Twins club meeting with a smile and no real intention to be interested in them. I liked the smell of one of the lotions, but really they were just free samples and I wasn’t terribly inclined to [...]

I am not a neat cook. My stove top usually resembles a Jackson Pollack painting after I’m done with it. I need something to clean it with that is powerful, yet I can’t tolerate bleach and hate the idea of smearing chemicals all over the same surfaces on which I cook. Vinegar of the Four [...]

I could not wait to get my sample of Blinc Kiss Me Mascara in the mail. I was excited by the new concept of tubing lashes rather than painting them. This product coats lashes by combing a tube of black mascara over the lashes like a pipe so that the waterproof formula will not run, [...]
