Ladies, Avoid the Magnifying Mirror

Every time I need to tweeze my eyebrows I inevitably head to the magnifying mirror in my bathroom.  You know the one.  Has two pointy ears and long red tail.  Before I turn on it’s handy dandy light, the one that helps me see every single poor, broken blood vessel, pimple, wrinkle, I think stay...

Why is IKEA so Great?

Sure IKEA carries cool contemporary housewares at incredibly low prices and impeccably designed, albeit cheaply made furniture.  They need a whole eatery because halfway through the store you need to re-fuel.  And who can pass up 15 Swedish meatballs for $3.99.

Life after Birth

Life after Birth
Today my baby boy is 3 weeks old. Being a first time mom can be overwhelming.  Things that used to be a routine part of my day, like a shower…sleep…dinner, are now at the bottom of the priority list.   And by the way, drinking isn’t just off limits when you’re pregnant, it’s off limits...
