Well, last week was apparently International Women’s Day. I hope you can hear the dripping sarcasm in that last sentence. Does anyone else throw up a little bit in their mouth when, come March 8, social media turns into an estrogen fest of caustic female pride? I mean, double standard much? Honestly, I walk aroundContinue reading International Women’s Day…
The Bachelor Finale & The Disappearing Line of Decency
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, leave it to The Bachelor to pull an Emeril Lagasse and “Bam! Kick it up a knotch!” In case you haven’t heard, The Bachelor season finale was on Monday and Tuesday of this past week. And…wow. Just…W O W. It was a dumpster fire of everything wrongContinue reading The Bachelor Finale & The Disappearing Line of Decency
The Nails
Well hey there, hi there, ho there! I am so excited to share tonight’s post with you 🙂 All day yesterday, it took every ounce of will power not to blurt out the news, and wait until post-time tonight. Late last year, I was invited to become a contributor to WINE publication. It is aContinue reading The Nails
Invisible Heroes
First off, thank you for all your wonderful comments on Monday’s post. In case you missed it, in honor of National Eating Disorder Awareness week, I did a Q & A, and answered your questions, and I was just so touched by all your compassionate and loving responses. So thank you – the world needsContinue reading Invisible Heroes
On & Off the Ice
The Winter Olympics have been ruined for me. No, not because a squirrel got hit during the snowboarding slalom race. Nor because a curler was caught doping. I mean, who knew that ice-shuffleboard was so physically taxing… Juuuust kidding. No, I’m talking about ice skating, sadly. Little known fact, when I was growing up, I wentContinue reading On & Off the Ice
Awareness VS. Understanding
Well hot dang! I was so delighted this morning when I woke up to find that a bunch of you ordered a FabFitFun box! I mentioned in last night’s recipe post that my sister-in-law and I were customizing my box, and I was getting so stinkin’ excited. It’s a quarterly box of over $250 worth of beautyContinue reading Awareness VS. Understanding
My Unseen Recovery
First of all: to the person who used my Amazon link to order a pair of pizza socks that literally comes in their own miniature cardboard pizza box….a) Can we be friends? b) You’re winning at life. And C) Thank you for using my link! 🙂 OK, so real talk: this was a tough weekend for America.Continue reading My Unseen Recovery
The Go-Between’ers
I felt a devastating familiarity, hearing about the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida yesterday. These tragedies have become all too common in our current world. Las Vegas, Orlando, Sandy Hook, San Bernadino, Manchester. It seems like every couple months, the list keeps getting longer and longer. It’s sickening. The prayers we pleadContinue reading The Go-Between’ers
An Ashy Valentine’s Day
Well, in case you were uncertain as to the relentless pace of time, allow me to be the first to remind you: Lent begins this week. I know. I can’t believe it either. It feels like literally two days ago that we were ringing in 2018. But yep – Ash Wednesday is here. And I’m personallyContinue reading An Ashy Valentine’s Day
Tied Up with String
🎵🎵🎵…These are a few of my favorite things. 🎵🎵🎵 So this is now the sixth attempt at a post. My writer’s block is in full swing – perhaps because my creative mind is across the world in India, dancing in a hot pink sari with elephants at the wedding-of-the-century I’m supposed to be attending rightContinue reading Tied Up with String
