Apparently, if you are of a certain age (like 40-ish) and you do not have short, squared tip, french manicured nails, then you are looked at as “different”.

Granted only 1/2 of the kitchen is done, and my humungous refrigerator/freezer (it will go on the wall opposite from the sink, next to the wall oven) is on back order and not due in until the end of the month. Everything else is functional. I feel we have made so much progress in the last few …read more

It seems that the eyes are taking a definite back seat to the lips this season. All focus is going to be on the lips so we can indulge and pick up a few new colors. And those eye brows… they seem to be growing back in a little for the summer months.
So how do you you this little bit of information?? …read more
