My Favorite Christmas Deals

I know what you are thinking. You want to pick up the phone and all me and remind me that Christmas has already passed. I know. I’m not THAT out of it.
My favorite Christmas shopping deals are always after Christmas, though. I love that most of the stores have 50% sales the day […]

Red Tide and Manatees

One of my favorite creates is the manatee. Red Tide is blooming and six more manatees have been found dead here in Florida.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says the manatees were found in Brevard County, but are not saying definitively that Red Tide is to blame. There have been four manatees that have died […]

Lazy Day Thwarted

The best laid plans for a lazy day usually end up being the ones that turn into quite active days. I looked at today as the end of my week without my daughter and a day to rest after trying to get so much work done around the house. I also wanted to take a […]

Just Like Andrew Speaker

Remember Andrew Speaker? He’s that selfish moron who flew on commercial flights despite the fact that he had a drug-resistant forum of tuberculosis. Andrew Speaker, another individual who should not be allowed to breed.
But, I digress. My point is that yet another monumentally self-indulgent person has endangered others in much the same way. A 30-year-old […]

Celebrating Ginger Rogers

There are people in history who are known to just about everyone by their first names alone. I’m sure you can think of a handful right now. Fred and Ginger. There are two names that I can write without last names and you know exactly who I am talking about – Fred Astaire and Ginger […]

Benazir Bhutto Assassinated

I chose to write about the assignation of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in this particular blog, because I feel as though a blog celebrating the joys of being a woman is the right place to talk about one of the world’s most visible female figures.
As most of you will have by now learned, […]

Beauty Begins Within

I’m very happy that the beauty industry is beginning to really understand that how your skin looks has a lot more to do with what you put inside your body than just the products you glop on top of your face at night. If you are sick, tired, stressed, or generally unhealthy; the first place […]

When a Deal is Not a Deal

I was looking online yesterday; ready to take advantage of some of the post-Christmas sales to do some early birthday shopping for my daughter. I was on the Disney Store site and found the cutest Ariel and her sisters dolls marked down to $5.99. Plus, there was a 25% off code for all their sale […]

Ode to Clairol Torrids

I usually color my own hair. I’m not grey and I actually have a great natural hair color. It’s a rich, dark brown with subtle red highlights. Still, I just really enjoy coloring my hair. It’s yet another great thing about being a girl. We can color our hair without stigma, just because we feel […]

My Resolution is Always the Same

Every year as the New Year rolls around, my resolution is the same – fitness. I want to lose weight and subsequently lower my blood pressure and cholesterol. I’ve had some pretty good success with diets in the past, but since my daughter was born I have been stagnant in the weight loss arena.
I need […]

Celebrate being a girl!
