Hallmark’s Recordable Storybook – All the Ways I Love You *GIVEAWAY, too!

Hallmark’s recordable storybooks are absolutely incredible!  My newest favorite – All the Ways I Love You – is a book that I recorded for my son William.  I actually had to record it 3 times because I kept crying as I began it… this is why it’s so special to me… I will treasure this [...]

Covering the Emmy Awards for Suave

As much as I was excited about going to the Emmy Awards and seeing all the stars and all the Hollywood glamour… I was just as excited about getting ready for the Emmy Awards! Last year at BlogHer, I missed the chance to have Luke O’Connor work his magic on my hair.  After seeing so [...]

It has been a good year

Exactly one year ago, I was wrapping up an e.l.f. Makeup At Home party that Audrey and I hosted at our parents’ house. I had spent the previous week in NYC, going on job interviews as I prepared to move there. A few weeks prior, I had met a guy named Brian at a runners’ [...]

Emmys in L.A… What to wear? What to wear?

I landed in L.A. without a dress to wear for the Emmys. Seriously. (OK, I did bring a back-up dress, the one I wore at my Getting Gorgeous event 3 weeks ago, but I didn’t want to wear something I had just worn; not to mention, it wasn’t “fancy” enough for the Emmys!) I don’t [...]

Cheat Sheets

During my 30 years of teaching English & Reading, I stumbled upon some rather unique and I dare say ingenious Cheat Sheets (not that I ever condoned this practice, but kudos for originality).  I always told the would-be “cheater” that it would have taken less time to study than to develop the Cheat Sheet scheme. [...]

Back-to-School Shopping with ME

Back-to-School Shopping.  Oh, my… the time has come too fast!  My William starts kindergarten next Wednesday, September 1st.  I’m very emotional about the whole thing, my first child entering school.  The piece that I love knowing is that he’s going to a great school, with wonderful teachers and filled with lots of kids that he [...]
