Simply Straight! »

I’ve been blessed with beautiful hair, so I’ve been told. Many stylists are awed by how thick it is; always telling me how lucky I am and how it must be so nice to have hair to manageable.

Land’s End Girls Swimsuits: They’ve Got You Covered »

One of the things I struggle with fairly regularly is finding my 7 year old daughter clothes that don’t make her look like a “prostitot.” While there are an abundance of low-slung pants and crop tops with spaghetti straps to get my jaw outta whack, nothing gets me grinding my teeth faster than the bathing [...]

Firefly ~ Helping Feet Stay Hip »

I know Zappo’s has free shipping. They also have about 8 billion choices. I don’t do as well with so many choices. I end up spending entirely too much time browsing through pages and pages of shoes that might be cute, and then never making a decision.
There is a better online shoe option. If you [...]

Dining Out in NYC »

My best friend Aviva makes the assertion “There is no bad food in New York!” I have always been more cautious about restaurant choices being my father is famous for his line “We’re not trying that place until it’s reviewed in The Times.”
However, over the weekend I was in New York with my mother- famous [...]

Sleeping Pills, Anyone? »

This new generation of sleeping pills that boasts no side effects is ruining the self-loathing consciousness of this world.
I say this because the countless nights I spend roiling (that word, in my mind, means a combination of rolling – as in tossing and turning- and broiling – as in, my own stew) are being erased [...]

Caress Exotic Oil Infusions »

I am a self professed girly girl. I sit here, smugly declaring this wearing no make up and sporting my VOTE FOR PEDRO t-shirt. Regardless, my inner soul is girly, I swear it is. And this inner soul is constantly in search of girly products to add to my [...]

IKEA: The New Target »

Deception. Cheating. Hypocrite. Adulterer. Liar. Poser. Valueless. Amoral. Me.
I got my children early from school, canceled the tutor appointment and left my zip code. From the beginning of the afternoon tryst my values started to peel away.
My son was shoveling sand under the slide with his 4-year old friend; my daughter was swinging as [...]

Do you own a lot of t-shirts that have yellow stained arm pits? I do.
Over the past few years I’ve noticed my sweat glands have changed and it doesn’t take much for me to have a hot flash (which I blame on pregnancy and hormones).
