In conversing in emails regarding what would become my revealing interview with Bijoux, Bijoux made this insightful little confession: I'll always remember, "You can always tell the mark of a woman who puts on her gloves before she opens her front door, to the one that's still putting them on as she opens the gate." And funnily enough, I still put my gloves on before I open the door! Pavlov

As mentioned in my post about "girlie-cures" at Greedy Snobs, I'm getting some fabulous faux nails. (Blogging is hard on fingernails -- especially in these arid frigid months!) These are the two I selected; the first is from saburkitty, the second from KaitlinsKreationsart. This was the first time I had to measure my fingernails. If it is for you too, here's a how-to video.

Wasn't sure how to unwind last night, so I watched Liz Taylor in Father Of The Bride again... And fell so madly in love with her dress, again, I began to fantasize about renewing my vows -- or, more truthfully, of having a "real" wedding. The fanciest thing about my wedding was the simple and elegant white wedding invitations.We had so little money, I had to make a choice about where to

 The epic Steven Morrissey said, "Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes -- they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age." This is something I just had to remind my children of when they came home from school today and found me dancing in the living room to what they call "old people music." Funny how

In case you haven't already heard, Pantone has selected Tangerine Tango as the color of the year for fashion in 2012. When I heard about it, I instantly thought of the old Tangee lipsticks. Not just because of the name. ...Well, Tangee's "Natural" shade was a very tangerine color, so I can't say for certain which came first, the shade, the tangerine-sounding name, or what. You can see the

I don't know what's more uncomfortable... Watching your cat bat an eyeball about or seeing the stray hairs and pieces of cat fur from the floor just sitting on one of these eyeball cat toys... I'm thinking the hair would be worse; there's no Visine for the sore eyes in your mind.
