Happiness Is...
Mom has this friend who likes to give her little presents when she sees her at Sunday School. If they aren’t candy or food, these little nik-naks always seem to find their way to my kitchen counter somehow. (Yeah, thanx Mom) Mom and her friend started this little tradition by trading books back and forth and then her friend just started including candy and little kitschy stuff around each...

Lone Wolf Strikes Again
Last week there was a little disagreement over the assignment of services between myself and the other classmates. I’ll be honest with you, since the beginning, I’ve been a bit of a fifth wheel. Since Day One, I’ve sat at a table by myself, while the remaining students partnered up. This usually meant that when it was time to demonstrate a procedure, I either had to grab someone...

The Odd Couple, the Epiphany, & the Journey
This photo reminds me of a trip I took a few years ago. The trip that changed my life… At the time, I was writing restaurant reviews for ZSpotlight, and their Romance section was severely lacking. A few months prior, I’d read Cindy Chupack’s “The Between Boyfriends Book” and pitched an idea I’d gotten from one of her essays. The premise was, “How many...

I break a rule, I get scolded. They break a rule, they get rewarded. I simply don’t get it. Some days I wonder why I even bother.

–  ws. (pg. 162 - “The Fray”) I couldn’t have said it better myself… You have to live on your own terms and sometimes it means giving up and starting over… So be it! Do what works for you! You’re the only one who gets to judge.

Shoe Love
Christian Louboutin pumps Glanced at price tag. Promptly fainted. Seriously. These babies are more than my mortgage payment. I’d probably impale someone with a fork if they stepped on my foot. Probably not such a great idea to own something like this. Dear God… I’m a mere mortal…

IMATS Recap - Day 2
This morning we got up relatively early and walked to the Market Diner for breakfast. It was awesome and the service was fantastic. The weather was gorgeous too. I learned that in NYC, since you walk everywhere you stay about 5 degrees warmer than the reported temperature. Our timing was perfect. I was in short sleeves most of the weekend. We walked to the pier and attended the convention the...

IMATS Recap - Day 1
I’m sure you guys have all been on pins and needles waiting to hear about my trip… Or not. Regardless, I’m gonna tell you about it anyway. I did taxes and packed ALL NIGHT LONG the night before. Seriously. I did not sleep. I think I went to the bank at 3AM and was in the shower at 3:30. Our flight left at 8AM. It was the first time I’d ever been able to shower and get...

This morning’s shoot with Mia Hamm. She was gracious and sweet, especially with the room being like a meat locker and her 3-month old baby boy being sick & her away from home. I know she was worried, but she was laser-focused and did interview after interview (with hardly 2 minutes between) like a Pro! Radio, TV, Website, Blog… She covered all aspects of media. It was impressive.

My Juggling Act
This is my life right now. At the moment I have 3 balls in the air. I’m trying to balance my life between my full-time job at the NCDOT (Work), being a full-time night/weekend student in Esthetician School (School), and my Makeup Business (Freelance Makeup). Notice how there isn’t a ball in the air for my personal life, myself, my family, music, fitness, or anything remotely fun....

Now I Get It
My Mom is the most wonderful woman. However, gifted in the culinary arts, she is NOT. I’ve always joked that she is the only person I know who would be able to “burn water.” It’s true. Even if it’s instant, microwavable, comes in a kit, is prepackaged, deli-prepared, simply requires reheating, or comes in a box, she will be able to screw it up in some form or...
