It’s a Wonderful Life

Bonds with my oldies, but goodies. To set the record straight, I’m referring to friendships here, not age. Come on. However, after last night, I am definitely feeling it. Slow on the up-start and coffee did not help. Aleve Gel caps were my panacea of choice. Let’s just say I was licking my wounds. Good [...]

Shades of Grey Casting

shades of grey

We are all reading it. This Shades of Grey book. Well, maybe some more than others. But I’ll tell ya, there is so much controversy surrounding this series of books. Three books in total. Yes, I’m reading them – you know, to see what all the fuss is about. Don’t worry, I’m not going to [...]

New Bobbi Brown Make Up

Yesterday I plopped my booty down in a Bobbi Brown make up chair looking for some new Bobbi Brown make up.  It has been eons since a department store make over has been applied. Back in the day my pick was Dior. Skin painted whiter than a fishes underbelly with black caterpillar eyebrows and ultra red lips was [...]

A Slightly Different Bucket List

I’ve always wanted to write a bucket list; for things I have never done or 40 things before 40.  I know you have heard of them. But here’s the thing, when I start, writers block sets in. My fingers stop tapping on the keyboard.  I can come up with; Effie Tower, French Laundry, and learn [...]

Stein Mart recently celebrated the opening of its new, larger relocated store at The Market Place in Irvine. Guess what? I was able to get a sneak peek. There is nothing better than a well-organized store. Truly dreamy. This store is packed with delightful finds. The clothes, kitchen ware, accessories, shoes and home decor sections [...]

Tidbits to Catch Up

Grieb_Visit-429_thumb.jpg

HI! How are you doing? I’m back, after a very brief blogging hiatus. To unload my mind, here it what is on the ole internal radar: The Ellen Show. Love her. We record the show daily and dance with her in the aisles right here in the living room. It’s like we are there. Why the [...]

All Hail The Bloggers Help Desk

bloggers help desk

It was the day my site almost came to a blogging deadend. Yes, fresh off a completely relaxing Spring Break vacay. I was stuck. REALLY STUCK. A word that rhymes with stuck was living rent free upstairs most of the day. Until The Bloggers Help Desk came to the rescue. Let’s back up. {I’ll go [...]

Spring Break Palm Desert Style

The kids are out of school on Spring Break, Palm Desert was calling. Palm Desert is only an hour and a half away from the OC (without traffic). Once you arrive, with the weather and the feel of the resort, you could have been in Hawaii, Cabo, or Florida. But we were right in our [...]
