It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
My hair is frizzy, thick and usually quick unmanageable. I get to review a lot of shampoos and conditioners in my line of work here, but most of them do not work for me. I know it’s not my incompetence because sometimes my stylish has trouble with my hair too. Some products just don’t work…
I found the perfect swimsuit for my body… The Vitamin A Brena Noir Monokini in Black ($165) meets all my requirements for a swimsuit. While I would normally go for a midriff-baring 2 piece, my post-partum belly just isn’t show-worthy. So for those days where I don’t want to bare it all, this swimsuit is…
My Living Room Makeover PART 1 – Taking Down The Wall You may have noticed I haven’t been answering emails, keeping up with Twitter or posting as often on the blog or Facebook. I’ve been extremely busy, totally out-straight working on our Living Room Renovation. We’ve been wanting to do something with our living room…
What could possibly be more fundamental to any housewife worth her fashionable apron than a good chocolate chip cookie? While I am probably quite a few years away from any kind of housewife status, every time I make cookies I like to imagine myself serving warm chocolate chip cookies to beaming children and friends as…

I started The Dukan Diet on June 19th. Just 8 weeks later, I’ve lost 18 pounds! I did a photo shoot on June 18th, wearing a pair of size 28 Yummie Tummie Slimming Jeans. They were a little bit snug and looking back now I think I must have been poured into them… I put…
I DID IT!!! I finally reached my weight loss goal this past week!!!!!!! OMG I’m SOOO HAPPY!!! I wanted to lose weight for almost two years and just didn’t have the dedication or motivation to actually DO it. I tried to eat good and exercise, which helped me lose around 1 pound a month, but…
I can’t believe it’s already been one month since I started the Dukan Diet! It doesn’t seem like I have been on a diet that long. “Time flies when you’re having fun!” ?? Today is my biggest success so far. I finally reached 115 pounds!!!!!!!!!! Please join me in a happy dance at this time……
When I set out to lose weight and share my journey with my readers, I did not expect to receive more hate mail than encouraging notes… Apparently people’s perception of being HEALTHY has been totally skewed by the enormous amount of overweight and obese people in this country. I didn’t think I would need to…
I did it! I’m down to 119lbs! Oh my goodness, if someone had told me a month ago I was going to lose 9 pounds in 3 weeks, I would have thought they were nuts…. Seriously, if I had known it was going to be this easy, I would have done this a YEAR AGO!!!…
Sorry for the lack of updates. For 5 days (day 12 – Day 17) I was on mandatory bed-rest with Cellulitis (deep tissue infection similar to flesh eating bacteria) from a tick bite. I had to have my leg elevated and it was swollen and in an excruciating amount of pain. Definitely, hands-down, the most…
I’m considering myself at the halfway mark at this point… In less than two weeks I have lost 6 pounds, and I have around 6 more pounds to go! It’s an amazing feeling! I didn’t think I could do it… I thought after my second child that my body was never going to let go…
Well I had an interesting day yesterday… I had to drop everything and run to the doctors because my leg was swollen up like the Good Year blimp and I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk! Turns out I have a horrid case of Cellulitis. Despite it’s name, it does NOT have anything…
Okay! Praise the Lord! I got back down to 123.2 lbs today! Day 7 – 9 was a bit of a struggle, but the extra situps, 10 minutes on the stair stepper and a little bit of jogging during my required 20 minute daily walk seemed to have helped push me through the plateau. Here’s…
