What Does YOUR State Smell Like?
Tweet I love how a scent can immediately take me back to another time in my life. The smell of Rave hairspray transports me to the late 80′s and my best friend’s bathroom, where we must have gone through a can of that a week as we tried to see how high we could spray [...]

When to Wear White – No Rules
Tweet Ever wonder, when exactly can I wear white again? The answer – always when you are talking about white denim! White shoes or white linen – a little different, save those items for the summer or the old rule “after Memorial day/before Labor day”. White denim is always great! Now, that being said, you [...]
Matters of The Heart
Tweet I had to look away as the needle plunged into my skin, I hate needles, and as I felt the pinch, (admittedly not as bad as I expected) I remembered that I was not supposed to have eaten before I came. Not only did I forget to fast before checking my cholesterol, but I [...]
Makeup makes me more Trustworthy?
Tweet While doing my daily mindless 10 minutes of internet surfing, I came across an article about women who wear makeup appearing more trustworthy… say what? It seems a little absurd to me, but researches at Procter and Gamble, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston University and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute found women who [...]

All Aboard ‘The Dinosaur Train’

She loves going around the house and finding things that start with each letter of the alphabet. The EMMY®-nominated children’s series DINOSAUR TRAIN® will be incorporating the alphabet with its traditional dinosaur facts [...]
A Boy’s List of “50 Things I Do for Fun”
Tweet My middle son is obsessed with electronics, in particular, the computer. He can take or leave television (me, too, thanks to Hulu), dabble in X-Box and the DS, but according to our James, Minecraft or Spore on the computer make his life worth living…or so he thought. My husband and I limit access to [...]

A Treadmill That Takes You Around the World in HD
Tweet I’ve logged plenty of treadmill miles while enduring Cleveland’s frigid winters and Arizona’s blazing hot summers. Most treadmills are pretty boring, that’s why real runners–of which I am definitely not one–always say they prefer to run outside. I get it, really I do. I just find it too easy to quit if I’m running [...]
Phix NATURAL Energy Drink
Tweet Let me start off by saying that I’m a tad bit leery of anything that claims to give you energy. I have friends that down red bull and, frankly, it scares the heck out of me. Maybe it’s flashbacks to all those NoDoz I took in college. Well, recently I was sent a few [...]

Cinco de Mayo Margaritas!
Tweet It would really be a shame if you only made these margaritas today. I am hoping that you will enjoy them all weekend long. Heck, all summer long and then perhaps into fall. Or maybe for Christmas Eve. This will be your new favorite marg recipe for sure. I like to think of myself [...]
How to Create the Perfect Cheese Platter
Tweet If there is one thing that I always have at every gathering it’s a delicious, rich, cheese platter. I am not talking about the mixed cheese cubes you buy at the grocery, heavens no! For a couple of bucks more I like to wow my guests with a variety of cheeses that are gone [...]

Shaving, Simplified (Review)
Tweet I recently took a trip to Arizona with my daughter (boy, do I love traveling solo with a toddler) and I was thisclose to having to pay extra for luggage that was over the weight limit. I’m convinced that even a travel-sized can of shaving cream would have tipped the scales in the wrong [...]
Whiter Teeth in Just Two Hours: Before/After Pics!
Tweet As I mentioned the other day, I was taking the Crest 2 hour challenge. Just two hours to whiter teeth with Crest’s 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips! Confession time: several years ago I tried one of those at-home whitening kits that took TEN days to get whiter teeth and, although I started to [...]
