It’s Saturday and my fantasy dinner party is coming together. I’ve got a simple, yet elegant, tablescape. The wine chilling is in the fridge. And I’m putting the final touches on dinner and dessert. So which Hollywood couples are on my dinner party guest list? They are couples who have been married a long time, with the exception of one adorable couple whom I still consider newlyweds. I have been huge fans of these actors and actresses for years. I remember watching some of these actors in big budget movies and independent films, and on TV shows. So let’s get to the […]

20 Things a Woman Should Live By
I found an interesting article a couple of years ago that listed “20 things a woman should live by” and I thought about how women of every generation can still learn a thing or two about life and living. Read it and enjoy! Some of these rules can apply to married women or single women. For instance, “Men are an amazing part of life, but they are in no way the be all and end all of life.” Or “It’s ok to be 22 or even 32 or 42 and not know what you want to be when you grow up.” Heck, I’m […]
