Most folks in the simplifying movement and who are into minimalism have probably heard of Marie Kondo and her new book, “The life-changing magic of tidying up.” If you’re new to the movement you will soon see or are seeing many bloggers talking about Kondo-ing their homes and you may wonder what that is if … [Read more…]
Yeah, that’s a bit cheeky but hey, why not? I am in love with matcha green tea. I first tried it at Wegmans coffee bar as a hot latte. It’s kind of green tasting but adding a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg made it delicious, like a green version of chai. Then I bought some … [Read more…]
Why is it that it’s always on the day you are scheduled for a haircut that your hair always behaves its best and looks great? It could have been driving you stark raving mad for weeks but, uh, suddenly, perfect. Argh! Yeah, I’m supposed to get my hair cut today. I’m growing out the extreme … [Read more…]
I drive a fairly old car. Compared to most of my friends, it’s an antique. I bought my 2002 Volvo wagon in 2006 because I had heard that Volvo’s could last 1 million miles. They even have a club for that. A year later, one week short of the warranty expiring, the transmission died. Volvo … [Read more…]

I started this post last week. Sorry for the delay. See the addendum below. Happy Wednesday! Well. I spent 5 hours decluttering 2 rooms today while my housekeeping fairy cleaned the rest of the house. Did I take any pictures? No. Why? Because I am a bit forgetful. If it’s any consolation, I also missed … [Read more…]
I drive a fairly old car. It’s 13+ years old. It has no loan attached to it. There is no rust on the outside (or in that I know of). It has a newish motor, oil pump and turbo. It easily holds 3 kids, 2 adults, a small dog, and several boxes to drop off … [Read more…]
I found myself at a plastic surgeons office this week sipping wine, eating shrimp cocktail and learning about how to melt your fat. Or, more specifically, how to freeze your fat. Really. How did I come about this? Well, I have a friend whose husband is the plastic surgeon and we’ve all met on a couple … [Read more…]
