Life

Last night, I attended a Girls Lunch Out event at Rizzieri’s Aveda School in Voorhees. Lucky me, I got to sample two very relaxing services at the school – a massage and facial. I was thoroughly impressed and wanted to share with you 3 reasons to visit the school and why I’ll be going back. [...]

The House That Built Me

March 30, 2011

First, I love this song by Miranda Lambert. Second, there is a lot of truth to this statement – the house that built me. For me, my parents have lived in the same house for 35 years. I grew up there and continue to go home and visit whenever I can. So, when I think [...]

Why Not or Why?

March 27, 2011

Over the weekend I got to thinking: As I get older, the question I ask myself has changed from “why not” to “why.” For example, at 21 years old my college friends would call me up on Friday night at 9 and ask me to go to a dance club 45 minutes away. Asking myself [...]

Cat, dog, lion and dead bug. No, I didn’t go to the zoo or kill a spider in my apartment. Today, for the first time ever, I took yoga. For all the other non-yogis, cat, dog, lion and dead bug are all different poses. I went into the class and found the instructor. I asked [...]

Recognizing Your Heritage

March 18, 2011

Up until a few years ago, I didn’t know anything about my family’s heritage. My husband – then boyfriend – asked me about it. He is Irish, Scottish, English and German, and wondered about my background. Curious for the first time in my life, I called my dad. Come to find out, I am Irish, [...]

Who You Gonna Call?

March 14, 2011

No, I don’t call the Ghost Busters. When I have an hour to kill, I call my mother. My mother and I live 7 hours from each other and she doesn’t text, Tweet, Facebook or Skype, so the phone is our main source of communication. (P.S. She just got a camera phone last month. She [...]

What a timely topic for me. I just took a few months off from my personal blog and accompanying Facebook and Twitter accounts. I was (and still kind of am) on social media overload. I manage my company’s social media program, I have my own Facebook and Twitter accounts, and then I started this blog [...]

Social Media Overload

February 12, 2011

As you can see, I haven’t written in a few months. That’s because I’m on social media overload. I manage the social media program for my employer, manage my own social media accounts, and then added Facebook and Twitter accounts for this blog – what was I thinking? I feel overwhelmed, and I am not [...]

Happy Halloween

October 31, 2010

As I’ve said in an earlier post, I am not the biggest fan of dressing up for Halloween. But I have friends who are. They go all out every year – awesome costumes and party decorations. They throw the type of party that if you don’t dress up you just don’t go. They probably wouldn’t [...]
