Vanity sizing is a myth. If it were for vanity sizing a woman could walk into a store and walk out wearing two to three sizes smaller than her “normal” size without ever a salad passing her lips. Simply put, vanity sizing would allow a more generous cut in clothing while making the size smaller. [...]

Korres lip butter!

December 17th, 2008 No Comments

In a word this is Fabulous! I got this as part of the Vanilla Plum collection which had a small shower gel and body butter, plus this lip butter in Plum. The shower gel and body butter lotion smell wonderful, but I have not yet tried them. I’ve been quite caught up in the Body [...]

This whole blog-thing has really been an eye-opener for me. I went into this thinking it would be easy, but easy it was not. When I first began blogging with blogspot, that was nice but I wanted more flexibility and more, I wanted my own domain. So then I moved over here, and picked up [...]

12 crappy days of cookies, more like!

December 12th, 2008 No Comments

Hmpfh! I am not impressed! Not one little bit. I have been signed up for the Food Network’s 12 days of cookies since they started it, back in 2004. Okay, not like that has been that long, but really! This year I had ZERO desire to make any of these cookies. I take my holiday [...]

WordPress 2.7 is available! Please update now. I log into my WordPress to find this waiting for me. Good grief. I guess it’s a good thing I am already ripping the site apart his weekend, I can upgrade WordPress (again) while I am at it. Crazy.
