Each year when we visit the south of France, we make a point of visiting the Odysseum shopping center in Montpellier.  We shop around a bit, go for lunch and maybe get an ice cream. Each year I eyed the same diner for lunch but we always ended up going somewhere else.  We went to another burger place, an Italian place, …

After putting Project Baby to bed Xander and I made a promise to each other to make a point of enjoying our freedom.  To take time out together and take little getaways when we can and splurging on ourselves when we are able. We had had such a stressful year in 2013 that we really wanted to find a place …

Ok, this has been a long time coming but I think I’m finally able to write about it! haha  I don’t know if you followed my love of the Stephanie Plum series but this is something I’ve been discussing for a while.  I used to daydream about a movie being made from this series and came up with my own …

Now that I’m back on the nailpolish bandwagon, I needed to add a little sparkle to my life. I couldn’t choose which of my new polishes to try so I closed my eyes and picked one!  Well, two actually.   The above photo is a base of Revlon’s Lunar with a top coat of Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black. As you can …

A few years ago when I was watching the Emmy’s and saw Claire Danes win an award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Mini Series or Movie, for a movie called Temple Grandin.  When I saw bits of it in the intro I it caught my attention and I made a mental note to check it out.  I ended up …

One of the main reasons we chose the Pyrenees as our little side trip while in the south of France was because I’d seen the Pic du Midi online.  Once I saw it, I knew that’s where I wanted to go, and thankfully Xander wasn’t at all bothered and was happy to let me choose the location.  We specifically chose …

When my husband and I agreed that we wanted to take a few days in the Pyrenees during our trip to the south of France, we initially wanted to just book ourselves a gite (cabin) or B&B.  It turned out that with only a few weeks notice and us arriving the week before the Tour de France, that wasn’t going …

When I first heard about Showtime’s new show The Big C last year, I wasn’t sure what to expect.  All I knew was that it was a show about Cancer, it sounded like a Reality show that would hit way too close to home for me.  Cancer? Really? Do they have to go there? Having lost so many people I …

It’s no big secret that I love purple, I’m pretty sure I’ve thrown that out there a few times already.  So when I bought this for a swap partner and found out she already had it on the way in another swap, it really wasn’t a task for me to slip it into my own stash and give it some …

After slowly working through my polishes from my big swap I finally tried Sinful Colors Green Ocean.  I  used a base layer of Essence Multi Dimension XXL Shine Fatal and one good coat of the Green Ocean over top. My first impression?  “OoooOOoooOOoh!”.  Being me, I just love everything glitter, flakie, etc so it goes without saying that I just …

I love black… I love purple… I love glitter.  OMG I LOVE BLACK PURPLE AND GLITTER!!  When it comes to me and polish, I’m not sure it gets any better than Wet n Wild Wild Shine Night Prowl!  I’m in love! It goes on smooth and evenly, it takes two coats (or one if you put it on thick enough) …
