I’m Loving Now…

Hey guys!   The winter doldrums have officially set in, so that means my online shopping addiction is in full swing.   I know it's not healthy, but it makes me happy. You get double the satisfaction...one when you click "purchase" and then again when the item arrives.  It's like a two-fer.  A buy one get one kinda deal.  … [Read more...]

DIY Hair Pins

Picnik collage

So, ok. I used to think I was all crafty and such. I have now found, the older I get, the less crafty I become. If it can't be made with super glue and felt, I am most likely never gonna do it.   But here's the deal. Fun stuff can be made with super glue and felt. It's a fact.   Which leads me to these super easy, … [Read more...]

Festive Holiday Nails ~ Nail Art Pen

Picnik collage

I am having a lot of fun with all the fun nail trends lately...the crackle, the designs, the glitter... Maybe it's Jersey rubbing off on me. The trick to pulling off the flashy nails, in my opinion, is keeping them medium to short in length.  I mean, I have seen The Sopranos.  Carmela had straight up weapons on the ends of her … [Read more...]

Hey guys! I am having a bit of a dilemma... I mean, Christmas is coming up and I should be making my Christmas list to give to my husband.  Actually he never asks for a list, I just conveniently leave ideas, photos and item #'s of things I want on post-its around the house where he might happen to come across them...like on the bathroom … [Read more...]

You don't need to wear a cape and fangs to pull … [Read more...]

Accesorize with Watches

Picnik collage

I am a self-admitted watch hoarder.  I inherited the trait from my dad, so it's not my fault. I presently have too many to count, nor do I have any desire to take inventory of them...seeing the number might be a little scary. Here's the thing, though... I spend money on classic pieces, watches that I will wear for years and years. I … [Read more...]
