I have always loved the look of eyeliner but it has taken me about 17 years of makeup application to finally figure the stuff out! It’s not the easiest thing to apply, ladies. I mean, think about it. How many times have you been shopping around the mall and admired a cute handbag on some […]
I guess I’m not too good for Canned Food Warehouse…
I know I am certainly not alone in suffering from overpriced groceries and inflated food budgets. We are a small family of 4 and I am increasingly amazed at how much it costs to feed us on a monthly basis. I’ve recently begun trying to find ways to save a little money and have been […]
I really need to stop watching “Paranormal State”
“Wait…shhhh….did you hear that? I’m serious…just a minute. Can’t you hear that? It sounds like scratching or something. Go check.” What you’ve just experienced is what has become an almost nightly occurance in mybedroominvolving me (the freaker) and my hubby, Jer (the checker-outer). I’ve always been afraid of the dark. Ever since I was a […]
Sporty Spice or lazy housewife?
I love my sweatpants. I’m not kidding. I think I may actually be in love with my sweatpants. Every morning when I get out of bed they are lying in wait for me, beckoning to me from the drawer, begging to be taken out and pulled on to take their rightful place on my comfort-seeking […]
Lessons in Manners
Begin rant… What is happening to our world? Why has a simple trip to the grocery store become an opportunity to educate my children as how NOT to act when they grow up? I am continually SHOCKED at how common it has become for members of general society to act like total and complete ingrates […]
I’m No Gardener…But I Can Clean the Heck out of My House!
I’m ashamed. Truly ashamed. Shameful. I have subjected my kids to a side of me that should have never reared its ugly head. There was sweat…lots and lots of sweat. And tears…tons of tears. And there were words…bad, bad words. What tragic scene caused all of this mayhem, you ask? I mowed the lawn yesterday. […]
Beauty Tip of the Week – Blush
I’ve decided to try and offer up a weekly beauty tip to share with all my fellow gorgeous gals out there. I know…beauty is only skin deep…true beauty is inner beauty…beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I get it. But a major makeup or hair misstep can make a real “inner beauty” look […]
Ahhh…makeup!
I look at makeup like a romantic relationship. There are definite stages involved with choosing the right one. Like a romance, there’s that very first time you see or meet each other otherwise known as Stage 1. There’s a spark, an almost tangible chemistry and you just feel the need to be together. It’s amazing […]
Weight Loss Woes – How many epiphanies can one actually have?
Have you ever logged on to a weight loss website and read one motivating story after another of how a down-in-her-luck overweight mom pulled herself up by her bootstraps and finally lost the weight that had been plaguing her for years? And then, after reading said motivating story you say to yourself, “That’s it. I […]
I’m a Romance Novel Junkie
Okay, confession time here. Who hasn’t picked up a trashy novel on a lazy summer day and transported themselves to a sleepy English village in the mid-nineteenth century transforming into a nubile serving wench lusty with desire for the tall and sinewy ship captain who just sailed into port and hasn’t seen a woman for […]
