January - February 2010 | Through the Looking Glass
Agatha is a fifty something woman, who is delightfully intolerant of everyone and has an eye for the men. She is a modern woman, who is aging disgracefully, but underneath it all she’s not a bad sort.
Okay, here’s the situation (or sitch, as my daughter’s favorite cartoon hero, Kim Possible would say): You’re meeting some friends out for drinks and one of them brings someone you’ve never met before. She’s smart, funny, and also happens to be a literary agent for the genre of novel you are hoping to publish some […]
Things are a bit chaotic at my house these days, because we’ve just added a new puppy and a foster dog to the pair of pooches we already had. In preparation, I began researching dog trainers in my area, because my younger dog, Cleo, has a barking habit, and because I wanted to make sure […]
Although Valentine’s Day has come and gone, I wonder how many millions of dollars were spent on this “holiday” and how many people actually have an inkling as to its origins. From what I can glean on the world wide web, the beginnings of Valentine’s Day have to do with a Christian priest by the […]
Have you ever experienced exceptional service?
On Saturday, I visited my favorite salon, Arrojo Studio. It’s founder is the very talented Nick Arrojo, the hair guru for TLC’s What Not to Wear. But that’s not why I’m mentioning his salon today.
Before she started razor-cutting my hair, I let my hair stylist know that at ten thirty […]
Jamie Oliver (our Man of the Moment in December 2008) has just launched his latest project Recipease here in the UK. Recipease is a new food and kitchen shop where you can learn to cook and make great food. You can book a lesson to come into the shop and make a meal in around 10 minutes (they have all the ingredients ready and waiting), buy freshly made food, or attend one of the longer classes to learn more about cooking. The goal is to open various food and kitchen emporiums around the UK, with the first opening on February 26th in Clapham Junction.
If you’re on the popular social media network Facebook, you probably get “add me” messages from people you aren’t quite sure you actually know, especially if you’re a woman with a picture in your profile, and even more especially as Valentine’s Day approaches. If you’re like me, you probably also love the ease of connecting […]
We don’t get snow often here in Oxford, but for the last few days we have been pleasantly surprised with some lovely snowfalls. I realise not everyone loves snow - especially anyone having to drive on treacherous roads - but I am not one of those people. I adore snow. Watching it fall, while being […]
I was deplaning (I didn’t think it was a word, but it really is) and it was my turn to unload my carry-on from the overhead bin. A man next to me hoisted it down. I smiled and said, “Thank you.” I really meant it. Ten years ago, I would have been irritated that anyone […]
Open to the Possibilities
I’m not the type to make New Year’s resolutions, unless it’s something silly like “quit smoking.” Silly I say, because I don’t smoke. But that doesn’t mean I don’t set goals for positive changes, like dumping lousy lovers and bad eating habits, I’m just not one to jump on the bandwagon when […]
What better to talk about on Allthingsgirl.com than the relationships among women? Like so many women my age, I read love stories and thrillers and historical fiction and even fantasy (love the big good/evil epic–have since I was a teenager), but what I love most is a story about women. Our lives, our […]
Last December, one of the girls of All Things Girl - Frances - shared a review of Joe’s Jeans.
Well, the folks who arranged for us to have Frances try their product liked the response so much, that they’re offering a special discount to our staff and readers. Use the code JoesLovesatg when you purchase […]
Can you believe that the first month of 2009 is complete and we are moving into February? Time marches on and during that time we can go along with the crowd or march along to the beat of our drummer. Ahhhh…the beauty of this thing that we call life. Life is about the Journey. And […]
