Move Over, Sue Ellen
Now that I have my blonde highlights, I figured I would go out and buy yet MORE new makeup. After all, now I’m a blonde (sort of), and so I might need slightly different shades. Although my favorite makeup arena is the drugstore aisle, I treated myself to a trip to Sephora. Sephora lets you …
I’m Goin’ Big
Every year for the last umpteen years, I make New Year’s Resolutions. I keep them modest, so that they are achievable. Pick up my shoes. Walk on my treadmill twice a week. Save a few dollars. But even with very small goals, I don’t have much success. So this year – as long as I …
TV Highbrows
My mother always told me never to make fun of someone’s appearance. However, I feel that if they are celebrities, they are fair game. Don’t you agree? After all, they are putting their faces out there for us to look at. It’s only normal if I feel a comment coming on. So, in celebration of …

Not Quite Old Makeup #1
There are three levels of makeup: 1. Wal-Mart 2. Work 3. Wedding The Wal-Mart level is the minimum makeup I wear out in public. This is the run-to-the-supermarket-for-milk makeup, the cat-ate-a-paperclip-go-to-vet makeup, and the ATM (but not INSIDE the bank) makeup.
