Planner Style
A year ago, I stumbled upon a little known world of planner people – specifically, women who buy planners and then decorate them with all kind of doo-dads and what-nots. I think most of us when we buy a planner, we think to ourselves that we are buying it in order to get more organized and efficient with our time. That was the primary reason for me purchasing a planner. I actually keep two calendars, one is a google calendar…

Larger than life
A few days ago, I learned that a friend and colleague had suffered a massive heart attack. There was hope that he would pull through, but four days after his heart attack, he passed away. He was 50. His death was shocking to me because he seemed larger than life. He lived his life fighting with his whole soul for causes he believed. He didn’t believe in equivocation on important social issues, which means that he pissed a lot of…

Another black dress
I will admit that for me it has been a personal challenge to post pictures of myself on this blog. I will never claim to be any type of fashionista. I do like to dress nicely for work and try to look professional. For a while, I was kind of in this mode of picking clothing in one color – black. Black is just easy when it comes to putting together an outfit. I think that most people look good…

Black & Blue
We finally had a day without heavy rain. I’m not complaining because where I live we have been in a drought for the past few years. That being said, our area experienced mudslides, flooding, downed trees and power outages. I had to check the road conditions for my husband because he drives over “the mountain,” and the road had sustained some serious mudslides. Even though we have had intense rain over the past few days, I still decided to wear…

Patience please
Today I took the plunge to purchase my own domain and move to a hosting company. I was going to wait until the first of next month, but ended up getting a really good deal with Namecheap.com for hosting and domain name registration. I know from previous experience that if you wait too long just using the blogging service through WordPress, then you have that much more to import and make sure that everything is working as it should be.…

My Fashion Steal
There are moments in life when you just cannot believe that you have stumbled upon something that really is too good to be true. That happened to me about two weeks ago. For my birthday in October, my son gave me a Nordstrom Gift Card for $25.00. I never got around to using it. Then about two weeks ago, I received an e-mail from Nordstrom Rack which was promoting their 75% off sale. I clicked the link knowing that I…

Back at Work
Tomorrow I head back to work after being off for two weeks for the holiday break. It’s always nice for a break, but I’m ready to go back. Question for you – do you wash your hair every day or every other day or even more infrequently? I used to be an every day hair washer. That all changed when I decided to grow my hair out about two years ago. I never fully appreciated how much time maintaining long…

A Big Trip!
My older brother has been working and living in Sicily for the last couple of years. A couple of weeks ago, my mom told me that she had a proposal. My mom and my sister usually go on walks in the morning and Jessica had mentioned to my mom about visiting our brother in Sicily. My mom is not fond of airplanes or any place she can’t take her dog. So, her proposal was that I travel with Jessica and…

Two favorite make-up products
I’ve always loved make-up. It is the one tried and true pick me up that helps me, day after day. However, I was also someone who didn’t quite appreciate items that can be used to help your make-up look better from the moment you put it on to the end of the day. One of my favorites is Two Faced Primed & Poreless Face Primer . Using primer prior to putting on your foundation actually makes putting it on easier and…

Subscription Boxes
Do you subscribe to any subscription boxes? Currently, I subscribe to two, which are Ipsy and StitchFix. In the past, I subscribed to Glossy Box and Blue Apron. Actually, I just subscribed to Ipsy today and one of my future posts will be to write about my first box from them. I love StitchFix. Even though I generally do not keep every item, I love getting new items to try on. It’s the luxury of having a personal shopper sending…
