Internet, I love you. You let people do and say whatever they want, and you don't judge them for it. If people want to shout their political views, you give them a soapbox to stand on. If they want to…
When you're really into a thing, sometimes you want to wear your love on your sleeve. Or, in this case, on your feet. I give you the Eggs & Bacon Hi-Top, a style for any occasion. I'm a huge Converse…
I don't know if any of you watch The View, but Michelle Obama appeared with those crazy ladies last week. They did a piece on breakfast where a nutritionist informed us that it IS the most important meal of the…

As I mentioned yesterday, we had one heck of a party to celebrate our good friend Naseem last weekend. Wine tasting was followed by wine drinking, followed by many taxi-cabs and occasionally getting shushed by my husband for talking too…
My husband was so mad that I didn't include Tremors in Kevin Bacon's list of hits. I was all, "I think it can be lumped in with his late-eighties slump." And he's like, "Nuh-uh. Tremors was made in the nineties."…
Well it's Monday again, and once again I'm overwhelmed and under prepared. The good news is that we had an awesome weekend celebrating Naseem's birthday with much wine and bacon-wrapped filet. (Delicious steak photos to follow soon.) In the meantime,…
