It’s incredibly easy to talk about what a difficult year this has been. We began with the threat of World War III (remember that?) and then were surprised with a few unforeseen deaths before the COVID-19 pandemic began making itself known. There were product shortages (such as toilet paper), murder hornets, protests, a crazy… Continue reading 20 Good Things About 2020
This blog could be real short. Just take the advice written in the title and live it, breathe it, bathe in it. However, titles are usually meant to be expanded on so I’ll do the same—with my much-earned experience in the subject. Also, despite the title being geared toward ‘men’ this topic easily applies to… Continue reading Don’t Let a Man Cramp Your Style, Literally
Gigi Engle said: “Sure, getting a new haircut has a reputation as about the cheesiest way a woman says, ‘Eat a dick’ to her ex, but I had to do something drastic to remind myself that I am a kick-ass woman who didn’t deserve this BS, to feel in control of my life.” … Continue reading Get Him Out My Hair
While I’ve been perfecting my makeup skills for ten years now, I’ve never had a proper beauty haul. Everything in my collection came from drugstores, sales, and presents, but I rarely, if ever, bought any name brand products for myself.

It’s been styled in a variety of ways both flattering and not. Most of my self-expression in high school was done through my hair, and… Continue reading The Babe with the Blue Hair

Just a day after he got home from work, M and I forced… Continue reading Let’s Go to the Mall: A Day at Arden Fair
I’m big on resolutions—always have been—and nothing makes me feel more optimistic and hopeful for the future than sitting down to write them out. This year I composed a rough draft based on old resolutions I either didn’t succeed at or really liked and then added some new ones in. I feel like if I… Continue reading 2016: Ready, Set, Go!
I love resolutions. I love goals. I love New Year’s Eve when I can say goodbye to another year and look forward with wide-eyed hope to change and success in the future. Does that always happen? Not really. This year I made a long list of resolutions because I figured if I had more than… Continue reading I Find My Lack of Resolve Disturbing
Since The Captain and I got engaged, I’ve gotten a lot of advice on relationships and making them work. One of those pieces was to make sure I took time to be ‘selfish’ and take care of myself. I think this is one that I need to work the most on, because a lot of… Continue reading Fill the Bath with Bubbles: A ‘Me’ Night
