Fluffy Got A Brazilian
Throughout history, hair has gotten a lot of attention. Entire books have been devoted to the subject, it is the stuff of legends and lore (Lady Godiva or Samson, anyone?) and pretty much every American parent has made a big deal of their child’s first haircut. My own daughter’s first trim was at the hands…

Three Little Words
In a recent burst of culinary enthusiasm, I decided to unleash my inner Latina by whipping up a Mexican fiesta, complete with fresh guacamole, salsa, fish tacos, refried beans and a sweet, slippery flan. (Ancestral Disclaimer: I possess not a drop of Hispanic blood, but I believe there is a sexy Chicana residing deep within…

Dirty Green
Eco-friendly living can’t be fluffed off as a passing fancy anymore. These days, it is considered a full-on lifestyle. There are, however, different levels of commitment to green living. From my experience, there seem to be three categories that most people fall into. Since it’s Earth Day, let’s have a look, shall we? Light Green: Light…

A Perfect Pairing
Recently, my husband and I celebrated out 22nd wedding anniversary. When people learn we’ve been married that long, they carry on with like we’ve just discovered the cure for psoriasis or something. But to us, 22 years doesn’t seem like a big deal. In fact, by our families’ standards, we are rookies. Hubby’s paternal grandparents (who…

Light and Breezy
Even though the room was spacious, the four of us were huddled near the far wall. I was literally backed into a corner. From there, it was tough to get the shots I needed; and if I missed them, I would not get a second opportunity. Of all the photography jobs I’d ever had, this…

Springing Out Of Hibernation
With the exception of a few small grimy piles of snow, winter has finally loosened its death grip on Westchester County. As if Mother Nature were preening for the Spring Equinox, she took a shower last night that lasted long enough to wash away the filthy gray film of rock salt left lingering on our…

Youthing
We are constantly being bombarded with anti-aging propaganda and the products to go along with it. There are anti-aging body lotions, anti-aging brain games…there’s even anti-aging shampoo. Shampoo? Unless we’re talking about growing gray, I can’t really grasp the concept of old hair. How old could a head of hair possibly be anyway? If we’re striving…

Fibs, Lies and Chinese Turkey Rolls
New parents can be pretty amusing as they rattle off all the things they will never do with their children. Some declarations are honorable: I’ll never serve fast food to my kids! Some are sensible but unrealistic: I’ll never let them stay up past ten o’clock on a school night! Some are control-freaky and horrible:…

My New Lover
I’m going to do some things in today’s post that I’ve never done in this blog before. For starters, I’m going to tell you what really gets my motor going. I’m going to get specific. And I’m going to name names. Brace. Women often have to think outside the box to spice things up at…

Nobody’s Perfect
There’s always room for improvement, right? But I worry about the state of humankind every time January 1st rolls around. People begin compiling lists of New Year’s resolutions, and that gets me to twitchin’. Whether or not I’m a little bit psychic is debatable (see: Madame Fortuna Knows All), but I bet I can predict…
