Since I cut Netflix, HBO, and going to the video store out of my budget 100%, I have relied on my DVR to bring me what entertainment I do have in my life. The writers’ strike only made it harder to rely on television for my viewing pleasure. I splurged more often at the movie […]

I am generally a fan of Champagne by Yves St. Laurent, but my former mother-in-law just gave me a massive bag of beauty supplies, including products by Shiseido and Lancôme, as well as various perfumes by Elizabeth Arden.
One of the Arden perfumes was Green Tea and I am completely in love with it as a […]

Inside my head I am 18. Seriously, I can close my eyes and take a deep breath and I honestly feel like a teenage. However, I am not 18 anymore and sometimes it really shows.
I am in the process of getting my face back in top shape. I let the skin on my face go […]

When I was young, my mother wanted me to wear a chunky medical bracelet so that if something happened to me people would know I was allergic to Penicillin and that I have asthma. I hated that bracelet. There was absolutely no way to make it look cute or trendy. It was such a downer […]
