an experiment in fashion, beauty and being married to richie coldcuts
Hi Ladies! I went to the dentist today. Just for a cleaning (and a lecture on flossing!). It got me thinking about all the Hollywood smiles I see on TV. Now, I've had braces on my teeth, one professional whitening treatment, and many, many Crest White strips. I always felt lucky that my parents stressed... Continue Reading →
Did you know I meant New Jersey? Yep. I just returned from there with Richie Coldcuts. We were up there to see Richie's parents and to attend our nephew's middle school graduation party. A bonus was seeing Richie's kids and going with them to Augustino's in Hoboken. And Pier 13. FABULOUS! New York / New... Continue Reading →
Hi Ladies -- Happy Women's Wednesday! If you're like me, your wardrobe, your accessories, your makeup and your shoes probably reflect every price point in the spectrum. Meaning, I've bought shoes at Target and on 5th Avenue in NYC. I've bought make-up at Walmart and at the make-up counter at Nieman's. Same for earrings. So... Continue Reading →
Are you a 'tidy' person? Do you have fewer than two items on each and every surface in your home? What about your office? I know people who are total slobs at work, and their homes are immaculate (and vice versa). Me? I yearn to be tidy. I'm done with the clutter that Richie Coldcuts... Continue Reading →
It's true. The Florida heat is no longer playing around. May was nice in St. Petersburg. We had several cold fronts to spare us from the impending summer heat. And even one decent weekend in June when the humidity dropped low enough that the heat was quite bearable. But as we march toward the summer... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite quotes is by Hunter S. Thompson. Basically saying live life to the fullest. More and more, it echoes my feelings about this life. So many of the messages we receive along the way are around moderation. The safe way. "Save money for retirement". "Eat healthy food". "Don't drink too much". You... Continue Reading →
Happy Women's Wednesday ladies. I have a gift for you! Yup, you're gonna thank me. I've done some research (so you don't have to). You no doubt know that Father's Day is this weekend. And whether the day is about your own dad, or the father of your kids, or your son who gave you... Continue Reading →
I'm still a blogging newbie. I know this because this is my 26th post and I'm following more and more other blogs and some have been out there for years! Coincidentally, I'm also working on becoming a content / creative writer. For that, I will likely get assignments (500 words describing the benefits of flossing).... Continue Reading →
So this is the week. For the first time in 39 years, I'll be unemployed -- more if you count high school and college jobs. But it won't be permanent. I like to say that Richie Coldcuts and I have a '2-career lifestyle'. So even though my first career in technology is ending (for now),... Continue Reading →
Ahhhhh Friday! Mid-day Friday is the best feeling. The polar opposite of Monday morning (or even late Sunday evening). Just a few things left to do before having that weekend-kickoff martini. I love Bombay Sapphire (is that bad?). Is it the blue bottle? I mean, it just looks like a vacation. And to me, a... Continue Reading →
