Ever since Hard Candy Sky in the ’90s, I’ve been a blue nail polish girl. Actually, now I’m a greenish blue/blueish green/blue/green nail polish girl. Those are definitely the color families I wear the most. Oh, and purple. I’ll sprinkle a purple up in there from time to time. So blues, greens and purples are the shades I wear the most, and to get even more rambly on ya, I hardly ever wear orange nail polish. It doesn’t really do anything for me at all. Neither does beige nor tan. How about you? What nail polish colors do you wear...

So…what is the Monday Poll? Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past 11 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine. 1. What’s one of your best high school memories? Most are just small things, but there are so many to choose from! What really stand out for me are the little things that I miss so much now as...

Don’t knock ’em ’till you try ’em, man! These flat platform sandals — otherwise known as “flatforms” — combine the comfort of a flat shoe with the height of a platform, so you get the extra lift without the achy arches and lower back pain from high heels. Side note: I can’t believe I just wrote that because it was only a few years ago when I was living in high heels practically 24/7, but now I wear flats all teh time, and my bod feels better. At first, I poo-pooed flatforms. I thought they looked like a Frankenstein-ian monster...

What is Deep Dive? I’m glad you asked! It’s a new series in which I’m reviewing a bunch of Estée Lauder Double Wear products from their permanent collection. Let’s find out what’s good! 😁 Back in the day (like, when people carried pagers and weren’t at all trying to be ironic about it, and beards on hipsters weren’t ubiquitous), my skin was Oil Slick City. Now, my face resides in a rustic hamlet called Oh So Dry It Hurts, although it’ll visit its former residence every once in a while. Does it do this because it has nothing better to...

You sometimes (translated = ALL THE TIME) find yourself going to the bathroom with the door open, and you have absolutely no qualms about relieving yourself in front of anyone anymore. You can carry on three simultaneous conversations while washing dishes, making dinner and planning out the next few steps on your conquest/world domination plan. You sneak in a cat nap during every single movie you go to, even the ones with your kid (or kids). It doesn’t even matter if it’s the most stressful, intense movie that’s ever been made, either. If you’re in a dark room in the...
