The Bachelor ~ Episode 6

This week's episode opened with the girls flying in a tiny death plane to Panama City.  I don't really know what it is with The Bachelor staff's inability to find normal modes of transportation, but I have a feeling that the person that heads that department has a good laugh every week.   The girls headed to their hotel and entered the … [Read More...]

Whatta Man Monday ~ Timberlake vs. Fallon

Last week 2 guys names Chris battled it out.  It appears that you guys love you some Thor because Chris Hemsworth won. I have successfully been wrong at guessing the winner 90% of the time.  I apparently don't know "hot".   However, moving forward, this week is going to be completely unfair. And it kinda breaks my heart. But … [Read More...]

Beauty Must Have ~ Highlighters and Complexion Boosters

Surprisingly, I get a fair amount of emails asking what face make-up I use.  And honestly, it's hard to give a good answer because it changes often. I have used Bare Minerals powder and Nars blush for years, but what really helps my complexion and the look of my skin is...highlighter. I always always ALWAYS use some type of highlighter.  And … [Read More...]

The Bachelor Recap ~ Episode 5

Last night's episode was an exercise in self control for me.   I had to literally sit on my hands not to air punch Courtney's face, Rocky-style.   But let's begin at the beginning. The gang arrived in Puerto Rico.  Every time I say Puerto Rico I say it with an accent...you should too...you know, so we're on the same … [Read More...]

Grasshopper Milkshake

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...]
