It’s not often that I quote movies…ok, that’s bullshit. Seriously it’s like every day. Surely you can’t be serious, you might ask. I am serious…and don’t call me Shirley. One of my faves was Pretty Woman. A love story about a sexually philanthropic woman, a corporate vulture who pays for sex and Hector Elizondo. It…
The Top 5…How’s my mascara? – Unsponsored Review
My daughter is 10 years old going on 16 and loves playing make-up. Not just on special occasions. I catch her putting it on in the morning to go to school. Since I think she’s WAY too young, she often goes to my mom’s house and uses her drug store, old school shit filled with…
The WICKED Magic Through Generations
There are some shows you enjoy. Then there are shows that somehow become part of your family’s story. For me, that’s WICKED. Years ago, when I was seven months pregnant with Emma, my dad surprised my hubby and me with tickets to see it on Broadway. It wasn’t my first trip to Oz. I’d been…
Fitness that Fits in your Hand
When it comes to getting sweaty, going to the gym is pretty low on my list. There are plenty of other activities I like to convince myself are burning calories.

Sunburnt Magnolias – Unsponsored Review
You know you have a good perverted husband when I start quoting my favorite movie and he chimes in and makes it dirty. Ellen: “My colors are blush and bashful. I have chosen two shades of pink, one is much deeper than the other.” Mark: “I like pink! Pink is my signature color.” As I’m…
The Perfect 10
Previously…on a very special Living Clean and Dirty podcast. OK, everyone who knows me knows I love to recycle. Whether it’s tin cans, shampoo bottles or toilet paper it doesn’t really matter to me. In the spirit of recycling I have taken my 10-Step Commandments from our podcast and recycled/reused here in one nice neat…
Boom Boom Shake Shake the Room!
There are three words that this girl lives to hear. That’s right…Pakistan, magnesium and iodine. I used to think maybe two of them were places you could only get to by plane and one was something you put on cuts for some reason. As I get older (read: wiser), I’ve come to appreciate that actually…
Our Mystic-al Girl’s Trip
I hate the idea of a bucket list, it’s so depressing. Instead I keep a constant “Life to Do List” running in my head. High up on that list was a visit to Mystic, Connecticut. If you are like me and have started to get some AARP literature in the mail then you’ll remember the…
