Let's Bring BackAuthor: Lesley M.M. BlumeAn Encyclopedia of Forgotten – yet Delightful, Chic, Useful Curios and Otherwise Commendable Things From Times Gone ByLike the title, this alphabetized “encyclopedia” will not create any competition for the game “Trivial Pursuit.” I enjoyed the 1877 ambrosia recipe on page 9; didn’t care about the Andrew’s Sisters; ignored Nora Ephron’s gripe about bagels; felt glad that cold cream to remove makeup is still in trend – and loved the cold berry soup recipe ... continue reading...
Book Reviews & Giveaway: Let’s Bring Back
DVD Reviews: A-Team & Knight and Day
A-Team / Knight and DayIt really is fitting that these two films were sent together. Never have I watched two films that are so similar yet I felt completely different about.

Beauty Reviews: Dr. Hess Udder Products
Dr. Hess Udder OintmentBaby Balm Lip BalmWhen it arrived in the mail, I thought HMMM what’s this?
