In a few short months I have a birthday coming up. No, it’s not the big one. But, I’m getting so close I can almost feel it’s hot breath whispering in my ear. I am holding onto my 40’s by a thread. When the day comes that I do turn 50 – I mean 49+1 [...] Read More
While in NYC I came upon the Mothership. It was magical. I felt slimmer just looking at it.
I cringe at the thought of my first (and only) date with Mr. Handsome. I had a HUGE crush on him and his chiseled features for years. He was several years older, so naturally, I wanted to wear something special. That was my first mistake. I was going to pull out all the stops. I [...] Read More

Body and beauty issues come to girls and women of all shapes and sizes. Middle School and High School can be particularly difficult for girls. Flat-chested, dark frizzy-haired, bucktoothed, and ethnic looking (I was told this), clearly, these were not my best years,
Bathing suit shopping isn’t for the faint of heart. It involves nudity, bad lighting, and the awareness of your every flaw. But I’ve found a few tricks to making bathing suit shopping less painful. Go to your nearest department store, I usually prefer Bloomingdale’s, a day (or two, at most) before you need the bathing [...] Read More
I love wearing dresses. They are a little more forgiving than pants, especially if you’re curvy like me. And there is nothing like the Little Black Dress (LBD). It’s every woman’s secret weapon. Black is my favorite color to wear, because it’s sleek, sexy, and sophisticated (think Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s), and with [...] Read More
Summer will be here before you know it and you know what that means: skimpy frocks and (dare I say it?!)…bathing suits. For some of us who have been hitting the Girl Scout Cookies pretty hard, it’s time to start thinking about getting our booty (and everywhere else) lifted and looking good. Now, I know [...] Read More
