When the hubby and I traveled to China to bring Spicy Girl home, we spent a great deal of time and emotional energy worrying about packing. How much to pack, what to pack, and how to avoid packing so much that we surpassed the packing limits for international flights. One thing we didn’t worry about was how to organize the bags as we had outfitted ourselves with one of the handiest packing organizing tools I’ve ever seen – Eagle Creek (...Read More)

Redken Rough Paste 12 Working Material
I don’t think of myself as being particularly susceptible to influence, but every once in awhile I let my hairdresser talk me into trying a new product.

Hogue Chardonnay
I’m not a big fan of Chardonnays. I don’t know. They’re a bit heavy, at times, and a lot boring most of the time. Ho hum. Chardonnay. Whoopee. It’s like the vanilla ice cream of wines. Except for the fact that Chardonnays don’t pair all that well with food. Scratch that analogy. I guess I’m a woman who likes excitement, and most Chardonnays don’t do it for me. But, the 2007 Hogue Chardonnay I like. It’s like your normal Chardonnay (...Read More)
