Between you and me, Valentine’s Day could be the dumbest holiday ever. Not a fan, never have been. I have no idea why we need a “day” to show our love for each other. Valentine’s day, in MY opinion, is a big waste of money. Cards, Flowers, Chocolate, no thank you. Yeah, maybe I am the scrooge of Vday but… Read More

  I was devastated to hear on Sunday about the loss of one of the best, maybe THE best, actor  of our time. A life taken too fast, too soon, by a disease that is relentless and implacable.

Super Bowl is around the corner. It is a tough day for me because I have been eating clean for several days and it is very tempting to be around wings, chips & dip and all of the yummy snacks that sit so nicely on the table in front of the TV. I decided to put together a little Super… Read More

I always need a kick-start when I decide to change a habit. For example, over winter break and really even before that, the food I was putting in my mouth was pretty much a disaster. I felt like I was a train wreck in the making. So like most of the country, I decided Jan 1st I was quitting. I… Read More

I want to say it was about a month ago I was in the Short Hills Mall and noticed this store. It was a tiny store with two spin bikes in the window. For the life of me I could not understand how there was a store with two exercise bikes in the ENTIRE store and it was going to… Read More

Fashion is my game. I may not have crazy money to buy what I want but I LOVE to shop and I am obsessed with all the new trends. Sure, I can’t wear some of those styles because they are made for twenty year olds but it doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s up. I have a friend who called… Read More

What’s the hottest rage at the moment? Why, darling it is the Golden JJ (aka – vajayjay) “What’s that?” you ask.  It is only the least talked about but most happening plastic surgery. Yes, the tightening of the vagina (mouth on the floor, I know). The definition I got from a friend goes something like this “Ladies who want to… Read More
