summer swim suits 2011

DownEast sent me an adorable swim suit to take with me to Europe.  Viktor pointed out that people in Europe don’t obsess over their bodies like Americans, and that maybe it was time I invest in a bikini to wear to the bath houses in Budapest. No thank you very much. Just to sweeten the [...]

luggage for Europe

carry on luggage

It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, being that I travel at least twice a month, but I’ve never bought luggage before now.  I take that back.  I bought a carry-on at D.I. {my favorite thrift store} for $6 about five years ago.  It belonged to someone in the pharmaceutical industry; it [...]

I was invited to go spend the day with Jennifer Garner in Los Angeles again, and even though I’m up to my neck in work, it’s just not the kind of day I wanted to pass on.  The kids were invited to come too, so we booked a flight for Viktor and made a quick [...]

Big K

Our entire back yard renovation came from Kmart.  Can you believe that?  Me either. Since our back yard has been so sketchy looking for so long, it really needed a little pick me up.  Our first priority in getting the yard into shape was to make it look presentable, which translates to: flowers. Flowers are [...]

olive oil

I’m really in love with olive oil,  I think it’s the 8th natural wonder of the world.  In addition to cooking with olive oil I use it for moisturizer, homemade bath bombs, homemade sugar scrub, natural deep hair conditioner, and yes I use it to remove my makeup.

purple everything

I’m in love with purple everything right now.  While it’s not the color of the moment {coral is whether it’s a good color on me or not. it isn’t}, I still love everything about it.  Purple gives just the right amount of punch to an outfit. HP sent me a Mini laptop in Lavender to [...]
