So… just how was Chicago?

I know that it’s been a month since I actually went to Chicago. That whole Christmas break thing got in the way of a timely post!! I had an amazing time in Chicago last month for my sister’s bachelorette party. We got facials, did yoga, had our hair done, ate delicious food, and went to…

Amazing Yoga Weekend in Chicago

This past weekend, I went to Chicago to visit my sisters. I hadn’t seen them since my younger sister’s wedding in February, which is six months ago. Six months is the longest I think I’ve ever gone without seeing at least one of them, so to say I was excited about this trip would be…

Just to clarify, I’m talking about Paris, Las Vegas, not Paris, France. Last week, Home Warrior and I went to Vegas for a long weekend. We were trying to spend less money on our hotel than we have in the past, so instead of staying in one of the MGM-Mirage properties (which are very nice,…

I had a strange weekend. Instead of hanging out with friends on Saturday, or shopping for shoes for my sister’s wedding, or sleeping late, Home Warrior and I got up and drove to Dallas with our dogs. I had a rare Saturday meeting to attend yesterday, so we gathered up our dogs and our coffee…

The Big Moisturizer Experiment

Why do I think it’s a good idea to do makeup/face cleanser/moisturizer experiments when I have to actually go somewhere to go to work? I work at home most of the time. Why doesn’t it occur to me to try something new when I am going to be at home, with no one around but…

Long Flight Comfort Update 2

Winners and Losers Seat Cushion—loser  🙁 Again, I think this could be useful but because I got to lie down across four seats on the flight from Tokyo to Manila I did not need it. So I guess maybe it’s not really a loser, just not a winner? Travel blanket—loser 🙁 Maybe it’s because Japan…
