Seasonal Allergies…What a Pain in the Nose!
Achoo! Seasonal allergies are among us folks and plaguing a good part of the country. I happen to live in an area where there are about as many pollen spores as oxygen molecules in the air. Lucky me. I’ve considered whether bedazzling a surgical mask or persuading RayBan to produce their version of aviator swim […]
Friday Favorites
I believe a weekly wrap-up of some of my favorites is in order. Why? Because it’s Friday and I’ve had some favorites. I know. Groundbreaking stuff here. Favorite #1: That I’m married to a hunky guy who doubles as a hairstylist. Okay, hairstylist might be a stretch. But he periodically (and confidently!) removes hair from […]
Beauty Product Junkie Diaries
Hello. My name is Mindy. <hi, Mindy> And I am a beauty-a-holic. There is something so fulfilling about a bright pop of pink lipstick, a gentle sweep of shimmering bronze on your cheek, a fabulous smokey eye. I derive a great amount of pleasure from beauty products and am highly unapologetic about it. Sort of. […]
A First Impression
To work towards my New Year’s Goal Number One, the hubby and I decided to join a gym. A real one. With treadmills. And elliptical machines.

I grew up, like many people I’m sure, with a reverence for doctors. Until recently, I would […]
The Dreaded Picture
I’m fairly certain that most everyone has experienced this at one time or another. How about you? Ever been featured in a photograph in a not-so-flattering manner? And upon discovery of said photograph a shock of shivers (and not the fun kind) trickle down your back at the realization that members of the public have […]
My dog has issues.
I’ve recently been presented with a new situation that is slightly concerning. This situation is unchartered territory for me and at this point I’m not entirely sure what steps I should be taking to avoid this complication. You see… My dog is scared of my exercise pants. Due to the extensive rain and colder weather […]
Slowly but surely…
That’s right. Slowly but surely I am making my way back unto the living. I’ve been down and out for a good 48 hours but currently, I’d say, I’m operating at about 70% capacity which means I’m back to doing laundry, dishes, vacuuming and general cleaning but still feeling crappy enough to be slightly bitter.
