organize your drawer

I don’t know about you, but my utensil drawer in my kitchen was a mess.  M-E-S-S.  I almost wish I had a before photo to show you so you’d believe what a train wreck it was.  You probably don’t have a messy drawer anywhere in your house, but I do.  I have plenty of them. [...]

Against all odds in life

This is the only picture I can find of my grandmother.  And if she knew I was posting this photo of her when she was within months of her death, she’d kill me. She really would.  She thought she looked like a dried out old monkey. Literally.  In fact she tried to slip a photo [...]

film commercial

I styled  a commercial last week that involved a first day of work for the principle {main actor} with a fabulous secretary.  I had to make her a sexy Mad Men secretary.  I couldn’t help myself. The guys are usually standard, boring, suit and tie.  The suit I chose for the main actor was fabulous, [...]

Once in a while I talk about being sick.  Mostly I make snarky references to how much I hate Lupus.  I even have a couple of hashtags I use regularly on twitter: #stupidlupus or #IhateLupus or even #LupusBlows.  I try to keep it light because I don’t want to ever BE my disease.  I’m not [...]

how to citrus scrub

I don’t know about you, but I’m always sad to see the summer go.  Like really, really sad.  I’m a summer girl, one hundred and ten percent.  Winter makes me feel like I need to curl up and die.  Not to be confused with ‘Curl up & Dye’, a hair salon in what movie?  Ten [...]

On the last weekend of summer, right before school started for the kids, we traveled to Heber, Utah for a quick summer retreat.  Heber is only a 45 minute drive from our house {and a beautiful one at that} and we had yet to spend a weekend away there. Sad, but true. Heber is next [...]

fall

I was on my way to the grocery store today when I got completely sidetracked and ended up at Joann’s instead.  I hate it when that happens. See, my front door was looking lonely and it needed a little sprucing up for fall. As loath as I am to see the summer end, I really [...]

nail polish

When a box full of the newest line of O.P.I. nail polish showed up a couple of weeks ago, I almost plotzed.  Really. A box full of O.P.I. nail polish on my doorstep. Yo.  Life isn’t terrible. I mean it. There are few things in life that can’t be solved by a good manicure or [...]
