While I have tried and loved other shampoos and conditioners, and while I mix them in every once in a while to give my hair a jolt of something new… I always ALWAYS go back to Dove Color Repair shampoo AND conditioner. This duo is my favorite because it strengthens the surface layers of my …
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 …
Simply, A Cupcake Party
It seems I’ve been locked up in my home office for months now, finishing projects, blogging, and most importantly, writing my book. With the end of April came my final deadline to hand my manuscript in to my publisher. And after months of hard work, I am proud to say that I am finally finished! …

It Actually Worked! Hurray Olay!
As the years pass, or rather the older I get, the more facial hair I seem to have, and I don’t like it. I don’t like it one bit. At least my hair is blonde though and only really is visible in the sunlight {though my husband loves to point it out to me when …

Packing for BlogHer ’11 in San Diego
Yes I overpack for everything… but we’re driving so I can fill the car to the brim, right? Well that’s my logic anyway. The difficulty with dressing emotionally is that I never know how I’m going to “feel” in any given moment so I have to be prepared in an event that I feel, I …
