Many, many years ago, when the world was young and full of hope (I’m talking like 1983), we had four distinct seasons. You could practically set your watch by them. They even made rhymes about them. “Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall…which do you like best of all?” Fast forward thirty-something years and we’re basically down to…
What a doll!
Not since Chucky (or in our feature image, the Bride of Chucky @barbiechulanyc) has there been such Buzz about a doll who is no longer where you left him last. I’m of course talking about the Elf on the Shelf…often imitated, never duplicated. He’s the little Elf doll that you secretly move around the house…
Compassion Is In Fashion
I read a lot of things on the internet. I always stop and shake my head when I come across some sort of inspirational quote which comes from a “questionable” source. “Don’t be a Dick” – Ghandi “Send Nudes, Not Hate” – Thomas Jefferson “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope” – Sun Tzu…

Gratitude…freshly brewed in a paper cup

Finding comfort at the end of a sentence
I’m Not Being Pushy, I Just Love my Tushy
So, if you’re like me you are a huge Samuel L. Jackson fan. In virtually every movie he’s in it’s Mother Fuckin’ this and Mother Fuckin’ that, a man after my own filthy heart. From Avengers to Zambezia he’s brought his own unique style to every movie he’s been in. And today my dedicated readers,…
All Yoga Mats are Created Equal is A Bit of a Stretch
Before I actually met my husband in person, we emailed and spoke on the phone a few times. We are a match.com success story if you can believe it. My profile picture was blurry (strike one), I told him I had a personal trainer (apparently that was strike two as he said that’s what girls…
