November - December 2008 | Naughty & Nice
Despite the fact that I own a VAIO laptop (2 years old), a MacBook (1.25 years old) and a self-built tricked out desktop PC (a whopping FIVE years old), I just ordered a new laptop. Yes, I know, I need to belong to Techies Anonymous, or something, but for me, a new laptop is much […]
Every day I see ads that I find borderline insulting or irresponsible (particularly in their depiction of women). Now we can go on a tirade about how women “buy into” the notion that they have to be physically perfect and perpetuate the ideal, but for now I want to direct you to a site I […]
Spring welcomes Aries and the renewing of the astrological cycle. The first sign of the Zodiac, Aries is a passionate defender of the self and fueled by the element of fire. It’s basically all about getting sh*t done. After surviving two personally tumultuous months, I’m ready for some kick-ass Aries energy. In February the erratic […]
So, I’m not quite sure what I think of this site yet. Taaz.com is a new site where you can upload your photo and, using a variety of Flash image editing tools, apply different hairstyles and make-up looks to your picture. As a woman who does wear make-up, but pretty minimally, and really has […]
I’ll confess that I text on my cell phone. Last month, 900 text messages went to and from my cell phone. After my divorce, I became acquainted with a whole new world of text messaging. I’ve used text messages to notify clients of an upcoming meeting, to let my daughter know I’ll […]
I don’t know what it is about me, but I’ve never been one of those girls that can create good hair. My sister always has great hair. For as long as I can remember, she has looked polished and poised with salon perfect hair. I see women at the gym […]
My husband I got married on a Friday in Lent thirteen years ago, but this year our anniversary is Easter Monday. Spring in my single days was marked by the lessening of rain (because I grew up in Northern California, where it rains in Winter), and the baring of legs. In our office, pantyhose were […]
Ever since I was a little girl, spring has been my favorite season. When I was a little girl, I would eagerly look for the signs that the dreary days were truly going to become warmer and brighter.
St. Patrick’s Day was always one of the milestones. I would eagerly don an outfit […]
Ladies they did all the hard work. Your man searched high and low for that perfect gift in the weeks running up to Valentine’s Day. They planned the perfect night out or in, brought in good wine and flowers and treated you like the princess you know you are. Well now men have a special […]
Today is my 38th birthday. A number of women would be unwilling to admit this. I don’t mind being 38. Really. What I do mind is looking and feeling 38. That sucks.
What I find more disconcerting that creaky hips and knees; a few gray hairs - some in very odd places; and skin that suddenly […]
It’s Valentine’s Day….a holiday celebrated on February the 14th in North America and Europe. The holiday is named after two early Christian martyrs named Valentine. In Ancient Rome, February 15th was a rite connected to fertility, without any overtones of romance. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of […]
No doubt you were inspired by our own Deb Smouse’s article last issue about creating an inspiration board. Well, I was delighted to come across this new e-zine which focuses on just that and is aptly named - Inspiration. This is a new monthly e-zine from Design For Mankind and definitely worth checking out. Download […]
Clarity can be so elusive. When it comes to our own lives and relationships, that is. However, we have perfect clarity when it comes to the lives of our friends, co-workers, family members, random strangers, and anyone with the surname Lohan, Spears, or Hilton.
I ponder this as I listen to a friend talk about her […]
… Tuesdai Noelle!
Born in Tacoma, Washington, Tuesdai began her crafting 3 years ago with a pair of white jeans. Turning them into a work of art, Tuesdai decorated them with “dirty handprints and lips.” After that, the pieces came rolling out… including denim skirts and jeans.
For information on ordering and more on Tuesdai, […]
Normally, I would be setting yet another new year resolution to lose weight right about now. This year, I’ve decided to instead select 3 words to inspire me throughout the year after reading Deb’s article, “Three Little Words“. That being said, getting healthy is definitely on my list for this year, and I’m sure […]
As the second day of 2008 ticks away, I keep asking myself, “Self… what do you want to do with the New Year?” Resolutions are so last year. So, instead of making some lame promise I won’t keep (ie: stop eating chocolate or swearing like a sailor), I decided to just make a […]
