There are some movies that make me feel warm and cozy. They usually have traditional exteriors and interiors that resonate with me. One funny coincidence, is the house in the movie The Father of the Bride (1991). I have passed by this house so often while growing up that it was on my mythical list of houses I must own someday. This New England Federal style house stood out among the California stucco. When watching the movie for the first… [Read More]

I received a newsletter in the mail from a local spa singing the praises about Latisse a prescription medication that is applied topically, like eyeliner, at night that grows your eyelashes to unbelievable lengths and fullness. The active ingredient was originally in glaucoma medication and they found the side effects were great lashes. The photos are amazing! There is a dramatic difference at week 8 but at week 16 there is a 78% significant increase in length, fullness and darkness-… [Read More]

I have had a love affair with this tiny island since visiting when I was young. I introduced my new husband to it on our honeymoon 25 years ago and to our sons a couple years back. As I sit over 3,000 miles away from the cobblestone street and quaint gray shingled cottages, I like to spy in on one of my Happiest Places On Earth and wish I was there. The Hub on Main Street has a webcam that… [Read More]
Having 2 sons I am never going to be the mother-of-the-bride and the best I can hope for is being involved on the girlie fringes with my lovely nieces. My first niece to be married this summer, “Hammie Pie”, (aka “Hammie” because her initials are HAM) has given me the dubious honor of throwing a bridal bone my way. That’s right! I get to do a bridal task or at least give my ideas and opinion! I am thrilled but… [Read More]
