It has come to my attention, Gg’s, that not all of us are comfortable with our inner Glam and expressing it in public. It’s interesting because I come from a long line of Glam and overdressing and expressing yourself through clothing and make-up. I went forth in Glam and was not always taken seriously or applauded for my efforts. I had such a good Glam support system, however, that I always brushed it off and wore too much blush or sequins to school because I was ME. Continue reading
I was in the Chicago land area last weekend and had a couple of really amazing meals. (No surprise there.) Two of which happened to be sushi. Here’s the story of one of those meals. Continue reading
I DIE
Rose Gold is back from the past taking the world by storm. It’s long been my favorite since I inherited my great grandmother’s class ring from 1926 and wondered how it was pink! A mix of copper and white gold, there is actually no “natural” rose gold. Rose gold is different and fun and looks great with a tan or especially with people that have pinkish undertones in their skin. Luckily that is me and I am ROCKING it Ggs! Continue reading
Every day this week I’ve been posed the question, “what should I bring to an Easter brunch?” The first answer is “something simple.” But I’m tired of suggesting salads, deviled eggs, or cookies. This time I wanted to offer something that would impress AND was easy to make. Tah dah! Mini Cheesecakes! Continue reading
Looking young at 42
These days you should look 20 in your 30′s, 30 in your 40′s and 40 in your 50′s… You get the point. I have been exploring how to stay looking young. I am going to be 36 and I feel like I can see it. All over my face. I can’t pass for anything but mid-30′s anymore and I am kind of sad about it. OK, I am obsessed, and frankly not quite ready to go the Botox route, although I am NOT against Botox and the wonders it can work on a face.
I had a life-changing dining experience. No, I didn’t die and come back as the undead. But I was definitely in heaven for a while. I was in Des Moines, IA at Zombie Burger + Drink Lab. Continue reading
I didn’t want to give in. I spend all day at a computer, I check my facebook like a good social networker, I text, I play Words with Friends and Hangin’ with Friends, and Scramble. Frankly I am too socially connected. I was against Pinterest. I received several invitations from ladies urging me to join. I had NO interest in Pinterest. Then one lonely evening when my husband was out of town I accepted the invite. Continue reading
St. Patty’s Day is tomorrow. And it’s the first St. Pat’s to fall on a Saturday since 2007. AND we are officially in a warming trend to beat all warming trends. Wednesday, March 14th in Minneapolis was 75F. It was outstanding! So I’m going out on a limb and guessing more people than usual are going to be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with flare.

Love this commercial. Have you seen it?? It literally makes me HAPPY. Color is Everywhere! And color IS everywhere. Like slamming you in the face! My closet is a neutral gutter of clothing and I long for hot orange, citrine, and neon pink things. This is GOOD for us Gg’s on a budget. VERY good.
In an early homage to St. Pat’s, which is NEXT Saturday, I thought I would tell you about cabbage’s smaller sibling – the brussels sprout. I know, you hear the name and horrible childhood memories of gagging them back come flooding in. But these ain’t your mamma’s brussels sprouts.
