Things We Do In Private…

Yet another thing bored feminists are up in arms about. Pfft. Call it Dorito-Gate. Yes, it's ridiculous. Yes, it's stupid. Yes, it's a marketing gimmick aimed to stir the waters. But is it a reason for twisted panties? Please. Not in the know? What do you mean--your life has deep meaning or you're solving real… Continue reading Things We Do In Private…

Bake Your Face…

I've had a lifelong love affair with makeup. Lately I search for whatever will keep my slather from falling into the little lines and crevices marking the passage of time and too much smiling. A trend somehow slipped through the cracks on my face and left me behind. Perhaps because I didn't think the answer… Continue reading Bake Your Face…

No Jeans After 53…

Women of a certain age took another fashion hit. If we believed the crap spewed by those in the know, we'd never step foot out our front doors all made up, with long hair, powder on our faces and stiletto heels. All those things, btw, are the stuff of which "older" women should not partake.… Continue reading No Jeans After 53…

It’s Facelift Time…

Six years ago, Jeep reworked the Cherokee. Was it a hit? Depends who you ask. Some loved it. Some; not so much. As we barely squeak into 2018, Jeep showed the new 2019 face of the Cherokee, eliminating what many called the “angry car” look. It’s when the headlights and grille are placed in such… Continue reading It’s Facelift Time…

Going Out On A Limb…

What is it exactly that makes us take a chance? Is there a definitive answer? It may be a bit like pornography--we don't really know until we see it. Case in point--all the badass dolls starting new businesses, traipsing new trails and making waves when water hits them in the face. Our favorite Deana, of… Continue reading Going Out On A Limb…

What’s In Your Desk?…

The long weekend finds this girl scrolling through Pinterest discovering office ideas. Months ago, a photo pulled at the heart and I've had office fever since. Why? Not sure. Mostly, I work in bed, on the couch, on the balcony and in the bath. The photo, now phone wallpaper, is to inspire me to: A)… Continue reading What’s In Your Desk?…

Kissing Rules?…Please Share

Miss V, Hair Goddess, says, "You need to write dating advice." Pfft, think I. What the hell would I know? When it comes to dating, this girl is beyond novice. My last date was an affair of some sort with The Norwegian. I "dated" my husband just to keep everything in working order. But an… Continue reading Kissing Rules?…Please Share

Is It Resolution Time?…

Do I have to? Can you hear the whine in my voice? Every year I resolve to be a better human, make more money, be more respectful of the money I make, create success from everything around me and save for retirement. This year I've decided to change it up a bit. I resolve to… Continue reading Is It Resolution Time?…
