Seasonal Allergies…What a Pain in the Nose!

Seasonal allergy tips

Achoo! Seasonal allergies are among us folks and plaguing a good part of the country.  I happen to live in an area where there are about as many pollen spores as oxygen molecules in the air.  Lucky me.  I’ve considered whether bedazzling a surgical mask or persuading RayBan to produce their version of aviator swim […]

Friday Favorites

little boy haircut

I believe a weekly wrap-up of some of my favorites is in order. Why?  Because it’s Friday and I’ve had some favorites.  I know.  Groundbreaking stuff here. Favorite #1:  That I’m married to a hunky guy who doubles as a hairstylist. Okay, hairstylist  might be a stretch.  But he periodically (and confidently!) removes hair from […]

Beauty Product Junkie Diaries

February 25, 2013 by Mindy 2 Comments

Hello. My name is Mindy. <hi, Mindy> And I am a beauty-a-holic. There is something so fulfilling about a bright pop of pink lipstick, a gentle sweep of shimmering bronze on your cheek, a fabulous smokey eye. I derive a great amount of pleasure from beauty products and am highly unapologetic about it. Sort of. […]

A First Impression

January 25, 2011 by Mindy 11 Comments

To work towards my New Year’s Goal Number One, the hubby and I decided to join a gym. A real one. With treadmills. And elliptical machines. And various weightlifting apparatus (or would that be apparatii,Latin for causing immense pain). And trainers. And, perhaps the most intimidating, tiny little gym rats with butts so firm you […]

“Be Your Own Advocate”

August 31, 2010 by Mindy 7 Comments

I’ve been hearing a certain comment over and over lately and its severity really resonated with me today. “Be your own medical advocate.” That’s a pretty heavy load and one I’m not entirely sure I’m excited to tackle. I grew up, like many people I’m sure, with a reverence for doctors. Until recently, I would […]

The Dreaded Picture

August 18, 2010 by Mindy 12 Comments

I’m fairly certain that most everyone has experienced this at one time or another. How about you? Ever been featured in a photograph in a not-so-flattering manner? And upon discovery of said photograph a shock of shivers (and not the fun kind) trickle down your back at the realization that members of the public have […]

My dog has issues.

February 2, 2010 by Mindy 32 Comments

I’ve recently been presented with a new situation that is slightly concerning. This situation is unchartered territory for me and at this point I’m not entirely sure what steps I should be taking to avoid this complication. You see… My dog is scared of my exercise pants. Due to the extensive rain and colder weather […]

Slowly but surely…

January 27, 2010 by Mindy 26 Comments

That’s right. Slowly but surely I am making my way back unto the living. I’ve been down and out for a good 48 hours but currently, I’d say, I’m operating at about 70% capacity which means I’m back to doing laundry, dishes, vacuuming and general cleaning but still feeling crappy enough to be slightly bitter.
