It’s Cool to Be a Girl

One of my favorite things about being a girl is that we can pamper ourselves in so many ways. Nobody bats an eyelash when we take hot bubble baths, slather on lotions, use a double conditioning rinse in our hair, spend our mad money on a pedicure, or dress for frilly comfort. And, we get […]

Frugal Tip: Wait for Black Friday

There are certain times of the year that items like electronics, jewelry and gift-type items are less expensive. If you are in the market for a new flat screen TV or a new laptop and you can wait to get the best deal, you may as well hold out and take advantage of Thanksgiving specials, […]

Shopping for Men is Tricky

It is so amazingly hard to shop for a man. I don’t care how well you know a guy, shopping for them is difficult. When I was married, I had a short list of things that were safe to buy my husband as gifts. Once we got off that list, it was safer to just […]

Legwarmers and Other Cool Things

I am personally trying to downsize, and that means not replacing the items […]

What a Girl Wants: Shoes

It’s all about sneakers and hot dress shoes at that point. I rarely have trouble finding a pair of pumps I love. I like feminine, girly styles and […]

Mourning Fannie May’s Mint Puffs

I all but grew up on Fannie May candy. I joke sometimes that their candy is why I grew so tall. We lived close to one of their outlet stores when I was growing up in the suburbs of Washington, DC and Fannie May was indeed a family favorite.
We were all particular in love with […]

High Quality Leather Bags

I love handbags, but I don’t own that many. I own a select few, very high-quality bags. Almost daily, I carry Coach Bags. I like good bags, bags that look great, and leather bags that will last for years without going out of style of showing wear.
Bolzano luxury handbags are currently sold all over Europe, […]
