It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
I attended the LA Makeup Show last weekend, which was a great experience. Imagine Sephora with no rules, and you’ll have a good picture of the size of the event and the number of cool items available. Naturally, I have a lot to share about specific trends, but at the moment I want to focus…
No matter what you do, at some point you’re going to come smack up against a bad morning. Not just the ordinary, “Ooo, I don’t want to get out of bed” kind, but the “Can I please turn into some nice old lady’s favorite houseplant” kind. That’s how I was feeling at 5 A.M. this…

Normally when you think of premium denim jeans, you think of pricey brands you find in Nordstrom that are upwards of $200 a pair. Ridiculous for jeans, right? You’re probably thinking, “Gimme Old Navy jeans for $30 and I’m good to go!” And while I love Old Navy as much as the next girl, their…
Today we’re featuring fashionable housewife, Kirsten Borrink who not only has an impeccable sense of style when it comes to comfortable shoes, but she dresses cute too! See below her review of the Born Charisma T-Strap shoes… When facing a closet full of open-toed sandals this morning, I reached way back and pulled out my…
It’s the subject no one talks about — how to dispose of feminine hygiene items. Yeah, I put it out there! No one likes to talk about maxi pads and tampons, nevermind used ones… but now there’s a clean, easy, discreet way to deal with the unmentionable issue. Have you ever been in a public…
When the cold weather arrives nothing makes me happier then staying home on the couch with my favorite blanket. Of course – this means I need to be comfortable, yet stylish. Stylish is important since you tend to feel better when you look better (hence the outfit). A nice velour sweatsuit is comfortable and if…
We asked Saks Fifth Avenue’s Fashion Director Michael Fink what he thought the best trends for Fall 2008 and Winter 2009 would be, and he said… “One of my favorite looks for women is a romantic blouse with ruffles, bows or lace worn under a slightly revealing suit jacket. Then you can easily ditch the…
I know, I know… It’s sometimes hard to find time to go for a walk or hit the gym after a long day of work, errands, picking the kids up from school, making dinner, cleaning the house, etc etc But for those of you that do make a point to take out that hour to…
So today I decided to check out SmartBargains.com. I had heard a few things about it, but wanted to see what all the fuss was about for myself. I’ve been thinking about buying a nice leather handbag for winter, so I went to the handbag section first. I was delighted to find so many beautiful…
I personally haven’t used antiperspirant for years because I heard about the dangers of using it while pregnant and breastfeeding. The harmful ingredients in antiperspirants actually clog up your sweat pores. Not exactly healthy! I mean, where’s the logic here? The FDA even considers antiperspirants a drug because they “affect the function of the body”….
Being a mom can be difficult. Being a housewife can be difficult. What keeps us sane through all of it? What keeps us happy? Are we happy? Denise Burks of Naperville, Illinois has set off on an amazing adventure through the ins and outs of suburban life through the eyes of the women that are…
It’s time to throw out your shorts and dingy t-shirt for a serious swimsuit cover-up upgrade this summer. You need something that is casual, but you need it versatile enough so it can also pass at dinner, if need be. Look for shirtdresses, tunics, sarongs and dresses that aren’t frumpy looking. You can be comfy…
I copied this outfit today in my “Today’s Outfit” post. As you’ll remember, I chose a darker leather than Lindsay’s, but I still achieved the same look. A leather bomber-style jacket is a must when copying this Celebrity Fashion outfit. You may want a nice caramel colored jacket like this one from Kohls that is…
Congrats to Britney! Let me start off by saying that I don’t condone or encourage divorce, but I have to admit that I was really happy to hear that Britney Spears filed for divorce from Kevin Federline. If any of you pay attention to celebrity news magazines or gossip blogs such as perezhilton.com or usmagazine.com,…
