I love Brazil. On my vacation there years ago, I saw beautiful countryside, sophisticated cities, and rockin’ nightlife. I love Brazilians. They are warm and loving. They are awesome plastic surgeons, and they are singlehandedly reviving the NY Real Estate market. Some of my best friends are Brazilian. No, really. Bruno and Elizabeth. I love [...]

Blogging makes you beautiful in so many ways: you get deeper through your self expression, you get more compassionate through blogging for a cause. Your inner self shines…ah, who am I kidding? Blogging makes you more beautiful because you get a free beauty products. Of course, if the number of free beauty you got made [...]
Accepting that I’m Never Going to Accept My Body

I am never going to love my body just the way it is, and that’s OK. Let me explain: Yesterday, I read this post about a woman struggling with her post-baby body. What struck me about the piece was that this struggle is new for her. She talks about how she never had body image [...]
My Big Fat Summer
Posted in Beauty, Exercise, Uncategorized, Weight, tagged gaining weight in the summer, those extra ten pounds on August 27, 2010 | 2 Comments »
The day before yesterday I left my parents’ country house and drove into the city where the first thing I did, as usual, was weigh myself. Way to ruin my day. At least it’s blog fodder, I thought. I can write about how everyone always talks about how easy it is to lose weight in [...]
Put some Clothes On!
Posted in Beauty, Fashion, Laughs, Rants, tagged low-hanging pants, ranting aginst, revealing clothes on July 9, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I am old. Not because of my saggy knees, or brown spots, or my elbows that look as if they’ve been crumpled up in the back of a drawer for a few decades. No, I am old because I am horrified by what “young girls” are wearing. (plus, I refer to anyone under thirty as [...]
Sex in the City 2 – You’re pissing me off
Posted in Aging, Beauty, Fashion, tagged aging and the sex in the city girls, sex in the city 2, sex in the city the movie on May 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The crazy blind dates. The long curly hair. The constant wondering when (and if) I would find Mr. Right. The cosmos. Other than the shoes and the rampantly indiscriminate sex, I could relate to Carrie’s life in the HBO hit series Sex in the City. Of course by the time the show aired I was [...]
(Pole Dancing + Trapeze) x major hair-cut = Midlife Crisis

I think I’m having a midlife crisis. Why else would I have cut off my hair, gone Pole Dancing and and taken a trapeze class all in the last month? Yep, that’s me on the trapeze…though not me (I mean , seriously) on the pole. I think it all started with my 7th annual 39th [...]
Freebie for Meebie: Dermalogica NYC
Posted in Aging, Beauty, Reviews, Shopping, Skin Care, tagged Dermatologica Store Soho, Mini Facial on May 5, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I have often been annoyed at the fact that while I spend a fair amount of time writing this blog, I earn a whole lotta nothing for doing so. My friend from Beccarama told me that her husband says that there’s no way a whole bunch of men would be writing all of this stuff [...]
Avon Reversalist: Product Review
Posted in Aging, Beauty, Reviews, Shopping, Skin Care, tagged Avon Reversalist, dark circles, Skin Care on April 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
So it’s no secret that I’m none too thrilled with the state of my skin. But neither am I willing to spend a bazillion dollars on creams and lotions for it. I guess the bottom line is, I just don’t believe that it makes all that much of a difference which product you use – [...]
