I am a wife, mother, and attorney, but not always in that order. I am also phenomenally indecisive, except when it comes to my husband, the Mister, and our boys--they are an easy commitment to make, and I write about them often. I devote the rest of

  • Dry Off Soft

    Posted on Sunday August 23rd, 2009 at 14:02 in beauty, yawn, girly bits and pieces

    This commercial from the early 80s is the reason I have used Johnson and Johnson’s Baby Oil after my showers for the last twenty five years.  And, still, twenties years later my eyes goe immediately to the rogue drop of water shooting off her ...

  • Tongue in Cheek: How to Hide Your Double Chin

    Posted on Wednesday August 19th, 2009 at 17:36 in family, love, beauty, narcissism, yawn, what the?, i'm still crazy

    Some people long for wealth.  Or fame.  Or true, everlasting love.  I just want to face a camera head on without fear of double chins.  Granted, even thin people have double chins.  My best friend was once married to a man with a chin so weak th...

  • Man Hands

    Posted on Friday August 14th, 2009 at 18:38 in shopping, beauty, fashion, narcissism

    I aced my typing class in high school.  I had perfect positioning, my hands cupped over the typewriter with the confidence of someone able to hold imaginary ping-pong balls with the youthful pads of their palms.  One day, after a particularly artfu...

  • Cold Cream Update

    Posted on Thursday August 13th, 2009 at 00:49 in beauty, things i like, girly bits and pieces

    No loyalty, I tell you.  Brands be damned, the only thing I insist upon is the type of cleanser.  It must be cold cream.  No exceptions.  Cold cream and witch hazel is a classic combo in use since the 1800s, but up until recently, not very popula...

  • Things for My Face

    Posted on Wednesday August 12th, 2009 at 19:12 in beauty, things i like, girly bits and pieces

    Let me just start this post off by saying I feel slightly stupid writing about what I use on my face, despite a few comments and emails asking me exactly that.  And the funny thing is that I love to read beauty regimen posts on other blogs.  In fac...

  • Pin Straight

    Posted on Tuesday February 17th, 2009 at 17:16 in beauty, things i like, girly bits and pieces

    I found a new product that works so (surprisingly) well for such a low price point that I had to share it with anyone else who straightens wavy, frizzy hair on a regular basis. The other day I remembered I needed conditioner while at Target. The sa...

  • The Things People Do

    Posted on Tuesday January 13th, 2009 at 19:43 in beauty

    I know for whatever reason people aren’t commenting in blogland lately but, dammit, this is an emergency.  Kindly do chime in with help on my hair. The Mister finds out at the end of this month if he gets laid off.  This is the 3rd game of wa...
