“When you pamper and care for your skin, you nourish your soul.”
We’ve come a long from Zic-Oxcide. The whole idea about tanning in the 1960s (and onward) was to reach that perfect shade of “Golden Perfection.” The pinnacle of which translated to youth and energy. Look no further than the advertising of the time to find the perfect, sun-kissed California Golden Girl. Hawaiian Tropic led…
“Fashion is what you buy, style is what you do with it.” Vogue Magazine
Okay, we have been in a leggings mode for a long time. I think they could now be called an “essential” element of a wardrobe. The looks run the gamut from fresh out of the gym to streetwear, leaning toward a very casual look – a hoodie, an oversized sweater,…
“Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.” Alfred, Lord Tennyson
I don’t remember the year it all began. It probably began over a glass of wine or a broken heart. The two seem to be a perfect match for one another!
I do recall it was on the cusp of the 1990s. The end of 1989 foretold the excitement, challenges,…
“I don’t know what I would have done so many times in my life if I hadn’t had my girlfriends…Reese Witherspoon
I think at one time or another we have all been set up on a blind date! Two of my blind dates stand out…
The first blind date I married. The second has become a lifelong best friend. This second blind date was a bit out…
Time doesn’t take away from friendship, nor does separation… Tennessee Wiliams
I’m happy to say, “I will be back again!” Right now, I’m sitting in our daughter’s dining room overlooking a hillside of the iconic Los Angeles Mexican Fan Palms. Staggering in their majestic 60-80 foot height. We’re perched on an adjacent hillside overlooking Sunset Blvd, here for our semi-annual California trip from Cuenca. And, in…
“Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you’d have preferred to talk.” Anonymous
Many years ago, I would fall asleep listening to a favorite story about Angels. It was, of course, very soothing and fascinating, and it was on a cassette. Another tape I was obsessed with was…
“Real comfort, visual and physical, is vital to every room.” Mark Hampton
I’m always curious about both fashion and home interior trends. It’s a little easier with fashion. A couple of well-thought-out pieces can update your look with little effort. But the home is another canvas that entails a bit more thought. It’s one thing to fold a couple of pieces of clothing…
“Keep reading. It’s one of the most marvelous adventures that anyone can have.” Lloyd Alexander
Well, I’ve been a little lax in my reading. It seems that my reading habits mark me as “an all-or-nothing” kind of gal. It’s true. I will devour book after book, especially if there is a series of books. I just confirmed this by reading two of the three Jake Tapper…
A feather from an Angel wing, softer than cashmere, drifted down from above… Jeannette B. Noonan
I remember the month and year my love affair began, October 1988. I was a year into a new position with a groundbreaking women’s magazine. Yup, I was “On top of the world!” Look’n good and feeling abundant.…
