Most of my life, I’ve had curly hair.  When I was younger, nobody told me that you shouldn’t just brush curly hair.  Yeah – that’s what I did and a lot of the time, it looked like a frizzy mess.  It was in high school that a friend introduced me to hair mousse and gel. […]...

When I was a little girl, I would constantly hear the nickname, “Skinny Minny.”  Well, three beautiful boys and 34 years later, I find that I don’t really fit that same nickname.  Life has caught up with me.  I have hips, love handles and have even become somewhat insecure about certain “fatty” areas of my […]...

Christmas is coming up and we have a lot of holiday shopping still left to do.  One of my favorite gifts to give and receive, other than jewelry, is perfume.  What’s even better than perfume is a box set with perfume and lotion in it.  Frank and I headed to Walmart and found an awesome […]...

Growing up, I was the oldest of 4 girls in our house.  How ironic was it that I became a mother to 3 boys (no girls in the mix)?  It wasn’t until I met Frank that I became a stepmom (for all intents and purposes) to his 2 girls and 1 son.  As a young […]...
