Bag Lady: Reusable Grocery Bags Make a Pretty Statement
I’m obsessed with bags lately. Not the chi-chi designer totes peddled at the department stores. Nope, I’m on the hunt for something cheap, chic and reusable that I can cram with milk, eggs and chardonnay on my grocery store excursions. I won’t preach. You can find the stats. The bottom line is that plastic and […]

Miracle or Coincidence? Eminence Organics Skin Care Zapped the Zit
About a week ago I got an uninvited visitor. A huge, mongo zit the size of Miami. It was gurgling underneath the skin on my chin like a volcano ready to blow. It’s what they refer to in the aesthetics biz as a cyst (or cystic acne), and I’ve been frequented by the little mother […]
Mineral Mine: Mineralogie Metallic Collection
I’m not so good with the smoky eye look. I either look like someone socked me square in the eye or like I don’t have any makeup on at all. It could be my technique but now that I’ve lit upon the Mineralogie makeup collection, I’m gonna keep working at it. The pressed Metallic Collection […]
Spooky SpaGirl Costume
I woke up in a bit of a tizzy this morning. See, I have this Halloween shindig tonight and haven’t had time to throw together a costume. I could still pull off my plan to be a peace-loving hippie (a real stretch for me as my friends know) but I would need to run around […]
