I can watch this Marilyn Monroe Costume Test for Something’s Got to Give over and over. I’m not exactly sure what it is about it but I’m not sure she is either. She’s just trying to give them what they want. I think I’m having a moment…
DIY Delicate Rose Gold & Chain Necklaces using Copper Wire
Sometimes a simple and delicate necklace is all I’m looking for and while quite similar to my DIY rose gold charm bracelets, the simple curved line of this one has a little more edge to it. Worn short or long, together or alone, or even layered with a few other chains, I think these simple …
Work Style Basics: What NOT to Wear vs What TO Wear
Gone are the days of women feeling like they have to dress like a man in a man’s world to be taken seriously in the workplace. Wearing the power suits popular in the 80’s and/or even forced to endure long days squeezed into flesh-toned pantyhose, even worn UNDER your pants is a thing of the …

My New Favorite Shampoo & Conditioner…
Using a purple tinted shampoo on my blonde hair was one of the best tricks I found for keeping my color bright instead of brassy and shimmery instead of flat. I swear by it. Until now, I’ve used a cocktail of shampoos to achieve a balanced look and feel. Shimmer Lights by Clairol has been …
The One Where I Show You How To Cut a Pineapple
I’ve mentioned before that cooking is not my strong suit. It’s not that I’m a bad cook, per se, I just hate the act of cooking. Okay, “hate” is maybe too strong a word. I’ll put it to you this way; I cook for our dogs twice a week because I have to. The husband …

Do you hear the swallows when they’ve flown?

Today, this morning rather, my grandpa passed away. I’ve been sick with a nasty head cold and in bed all weekend, so I didn’t get the news until about noon today. My husband had to break it to me, which of course ended in tears and hugs. Such sadness. My grandpa was an incredible drummer …

DIY Brushed Ombre Accent Nail Tutorial // Fun Summer Manicure
Inspired by my Camp Beverly Hills sweatshirt, I painted my nails minty green and gray and wanted a little extra pink as accent nails to tie it all together. The colors are admittedly 80’s, and some of my favorites really, and I’m loving the ombre effect. I kind of wish I did it to every …
