Since the birth of my second child, my hair’s, er, VOLUME has become an issue. When I say “an issue” what I mean by that is … well, I’ll put it like this. I had a nightmare a couple of weeks ago that I was looking at pictures my mother had taken of [...]

Y’all been out and bought your self-tanners yet? I’ve used several with varying degrees of success, and I still haven’t found one that I am 100% wild and crazy about, myself, as they tend to feel heavy and suffocating and I just can’t wait to get in the shower and get them OFF of me, [...]

Alrighty. I confess. Lately I’ve been having a tough time dealing with my AGE. I may even be having myself a good old fashioned mid-life crisis. I don’t know. All I know is that lately everytime I’ve looked in the mirror, some old lady’s blinked back at me with tired, [...]

Now y’all know by now that I LIKE shiny. Which is why when I finally came out of my new- Mamahood coma about a year ago and discovered that LO AND BEHOLD, a healthy, shimmering glow had finally arrived as a cosmetological THANG, and I could now buy products that’d lustre me up good every [...]

Since days like that don’t bless this prairie often in March, the kids and I were outside several hours lapping up all the early-spring weather while the lappin’ was good. Of course the minute the sun [...]

My wardrobe is SOLID, man.
And I don’t mean that in a good way.
I walked into my closet just now, which is pretty big, and looked at my side, where my clothes hang, and I have a lot of clothes (although I only WEAR about 20% of them). And out of all those clothes, I [...]

Oh my land. I’m dreamin’ of spring up here, y’all. And doin’ a little (Microsoft) Windows shopping, piecing together outfits I’d wear if I were – well – just about anywhere but here’d be warmer, right?

A cute, sassy, but still classically-styled top with a puffed sleeve. [...]

I want you to go get that catch-all basket from under your bathroom sink. Yes, that one. With the purple eyeshadow you bought a year ago and tried once, only to be told by several people “You look tired – Are you getting enough sleep?” And the rest of the dental whitening strips you had [...]
