John Frieda’s Luxurious Volume Full Splendor Shampoo

jfriedashampoo

Since the birth of my second child, my hair's, er, VOLUME has become an issue. When I say "an issue" what I mean by that is ... well, I'll put it like this. I had a nightmare a couple of weeks ago that I was looking at pictures my mother had taken of me on our last vacation. I flipped the page of … [Read more...]

Before You Go Gettin’ Your Tan On …

Y’all been out and bought your self-tanners yet? I’ve used several with varying degrees of success, and I still haven’t found one that I am 100% wild and crazy about, myself, as they tend to feel heavy and suffocating and I just can’t wait to get in the shower and get them OFF of me, … [Read more...]

Alrighty. I confess. Lately I've been having a tough time dealing with my AGE. I may even be having myself a good old fashioned mid-life crisis. I don't know. All I know is that lately everytime I've looked in the mirror, some old lady's blinked back at me with tired, sunken, dull looking … [Read more...]

Now y'all know by now that I LIKE shiny.

We had a lovely day here yesterday, with bright sunshine and the temperature climbing laboriously to nearly sixty degrees. Since days like that don't bless this prairie often in March, the kids and I were outside several hours lapping up all the early-spring weather while the lappin' was good. … [Read more...]

Structured Print Tops for Spring

My wardrobe is SOLID, man. And I don't mean that in a good way. I walked into my closet just now, which is pretty big, and looked at my side, where my clothes hang, and I have a lot of clothes (although I only WEAR about 20% of them). And out of all those clothes, I have FIVE, count 'em FIVE … [Read more...]
