As for perfect jobs, how about staging homes? Decorating, arranging and OCDing all over someone else's home with the sole purpose of making it look good without spending your own money? Am I dreaming? It is indeed a real thing, a real job (How to get? Advise please.) that makes homes sell faster, for more… Continue reading There’s Magic in Staging…

Will The Exercise Never Stop?…

Will the exercise never stop? God knows I want to tone up but is it necessary exercise slap me across the face at every turn? Bright and early Sunday morning, a client makes a Tai chi presentation.

Like when you realize you never taught your daughter to change a tire. Because why? Calling AAA fits under the feminist umbrella, non?

Cat Days of Summer…

It may be the dog days of summer but it's cats trending on Twitter. #ifcatsdidntexist is filled with tweets of cats doing cat stuff. What catches the eye is this thought: "Without cats, crazy cat ladies would just be crazy ladies." So where would all that crazy go?

Fall Fashion Is Around The Corner, Non?…

Above 105 degrees, this delicate flower takes to a comfy chair and studies fashion. What else is there to do? Watch my hair expand in the humidity? Risk sweating? On the surface of the sun, even running to the grocery involves underboob sweat and possible mascara melt. It's the search for the perfect bra that… Continue reading Fall Fashion Is Around The Corner, Non?…
