Fifty Shades Of Grey, But Not The Good Kind

When I think of Fifty Shades of Grey, I’m not thinking of the mouth wateringly naughty best seller; the one I just couldn’t put down. I’m referring to the ever burgeoning growth of silver on the top of my head. I blame it on my father. You see, I inherited many good things from him; […]

Dove’s Self-Esteem Weekend: Promoting Beauty, Confidence and Self-Esteem in Young Girls

Body and beauty issues come to girls and women of all shapes and sizes. Middle School and High School can be particularly difficult for girls. Flat-chested, dark frizzy-haired, bucktoothed, and ethnic looking (I was told this), clearly, these were not my best years,

12 Songs to Help Get You Bathing Suit Ready (Or Close Enough)

Does this lipstick make me look fat?

Sometimes, all it takes to get me out of a rut, beauty or otherwise, is buying a new lipstick. It all started years ago when I got my hands on my first Bonne Bell Bubblegum Lip Smacker. One swipe of that sticky sweet gloss and I was never the same. It’s the cheapest fix I […]

Eating it up (and sweating it out) as a family

Our most important family tradition is a cross between everything centering around food and taking grandma on vacation. We are a small, tight knit  family with all the quirks and we move together like a little pack of wolves. Mealtime is especially important.  We eat, we fight, we make up and then eat some more.  […]
