Can I please get a showing of hands, how many of you are consumed with This Is Us? That's what I thought. Entire room, you can put your hands down. It's SUCH an amazing show, and I have to say, I'm equally as taken not only how beautifully written the story line is, but everything about it, especially having lived through all of those decades. It definitely brings back memories. And I have to say, I'm a little bit taken with how … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Spring Forward
This is your friendly reminder that we lose an hour of sleep this weekend. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! But, what it does mean is we have MORE daylight. We're going to spring forward. In the light of the shift of the light, I created my own concoction with a citrus blend juice, a tropical vodka, and fresh strawberry puree. I also wanted to create a fun look in the cocktail's presentation, the layering of the fruit puree with the … [Read more...]
Notes To My Younger Self
I promised you some notes to my younger self last week, as last weekend I turned yet another year older. These thoughts came to me in bed literally mid week in the middle of the night and I hurriedly jotted them down in my phone, but I think they make a lot of sense. I had a few other things I wanted to share with you and thought these will never get old... as us! So here's the thing on age. You're only as old as you TELL yourself. … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Glamour Night Out
In honor of #NationalDressDay, I thought I'd kick off the week with a bit of feminine flair. I recently attended a black tie event, and ladies were asked to wear floor length gowns. My daughter was to be the focus of the night, so I wanted something elegant, sophisticated, mature yet not matronly, sleek, understated, yet at the same time fantastic. This gown from Halston Heritage was what I chose. A couple of thoughts … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: Birthday Cake Martini and Birthday Reflections
It's birthday week in my life... March 1st, my son had a birthday, and it's the same day my daughter launched her business. That was four years ago. So these two had some milestones this week. Tomorrow is mine. I celebrate another year older. Time REALLY does fly. As my young brain was photographing this cocktail, it was as I was almost done that I noticed the camera said NO SD CARD. So... this is the … [Read more...]
On Purpose In Person

What's all that got to do with living On Purpose? Everything. It's about getting REAL about what choices we make and it's about getting REAL with what's going on inside that head of yours. What are you saying to yourself? Are you good enough? Do you have what it takes? Are … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Sassy Night Out
I picked up this little faux leather dress last fall at Zara because I thought I needed a sassy piece for my closet. I don't have that many sassy nights, but if one came up, I'd be ready. That night came. Perfect for date night (which that constitutes sassy too, but I meant a little MORE sassy!) or girls night out, I had a girls night out. And you know most girls when they have a night out love to fluff their hair, right? You … [Read more...]

How To Be Productive While Procrastinating
Sounds kinda odd doesn't it? It's almost an oxymoron. How to be productive while procrastinating. Let's face it. We all procrastinate in some way. We're putting something off, doing other things than that one thing we need to get done. I know I'm guilty as charged! What's worse is that pit feeling in your stomach knowing you still haven't done what you NEED to get done, that thing that you're putting off. So I got to thinking... If … [Read more...]
