the cutting room floor
Thursday, March 22nd, 2012
In the world of social media, all we see of others is the best of the best. Sunny vacations, happy marriages, beautiful children, upbeat status updates, friends looking fit and healthy. Our own quiet truths can look ugly in comparison.
What don’t we see on a facebook wall? Financial worries, pain (physical or otherwise), a distant spouse, a struggling child. While comparing one’s life to others’ isn’t a new phenomenon, it is now 24/7. Following us everywhere on our mobile devices.
While I won’t be unplugging anytime soon, I would like to say I will try and be easier on myself. Stay sane, secure and strong. And ask myself, “What got left on the cutting room floor?”
[And not freak out when someone tags me in a super, unflattering picture.]

empire state of mind
Wednesday, March 21st, 2012Spring has arrived. I was reminded of the hope, renewal, and freshness this season brings when I came across this picture of Central Park.
In December, my husband and I snapped a shot in this very spot. [Our first trip to Manhattan.]
Our stroll through the grand park in winter was crisp and invigorating. A walk this week would surely be fragrant, warm, and replenishing. The New York City forecast calls for temperatures to hit the high 70’s this week. I can only imagine how the city comes to life-as it sheds its winter layers. While Seattle is stuck in a winter holding pattern, I am in an Empire State of Mind.
“These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you, let’s hear it for New York.”
You can hear Jay Z sing about it, but you can only know it if you are in the heart of NYC.

in a natural state
Friday, March 9th, 2012LiLo, Lindsay Lohan, was sporting a more natural look yesterday. Going back to her red locks. I have to say it is a HUGE improvement!
After years of trying to successfully have my dark hair ‘highlighted’-I threw in the towel! It was always great with the first foil, but would eventually get way to light and then I would just cover it all with a single color [dark] and start again. Plus, it was costing me a fortune. So, now I spend about $8 every 3 months or so and do it myself.
clairol natural instincts brass-free for brunettes
It takes 10 minutes and it is pretty much fool proof. It gives my color a little pick me up! Clairol also sells a brass free color for blondes as well.
Give it a try. I bet you will be surprised by the results. [And just think what you could do with all the cash you save.]
Color me happy!

hair envy
Thursday, March 1st, 2012Debra Messing is back. And so returns my ridiculously, bitter hair envy. I will provide a bit of back history, so that you may fully understand this well-founded jealousy. I am a curly girl. In a world of stick straight locks, this was not always a wanted attribute. I spent the greater part of a decade battling my natural state. Blow driers, round brushes, flat brushes, hot rollers and then the flat iron. And then a long came Grace.
In 1998, Will and Grace debuted and my life changed. I loved everything about Debra Messing, most especially her hair! In a single word. Awesome. With my new love came envy. How do they get her curls to look that good? I have since been on the search of the exact cut, the right conditioner, and the the single product which will perfect my curls.
Over a decade later, Debra’s hair still rocks! Look how phenomenal she looks in Smash.
One product essential for anyone with curls or hair that tends to be dry~Moroccon Oil.
This keeps my curls soft, separated, and frizz free. All great things and it smells amazing.
Here’s to embracing what you have been given. Don’t fight it. Try to love it [whatever it is].
