“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” – Gianni Versace I’m not one for trends. I like the trends, but they don’t always like me or my body shape. So Gianni Versace was right when he said “don’t make fashion own you.” I dress for comfort and for the way I live. I wear scrubs every day, so when it’s time to go out, I like to dress up and wear high heels. But with summer right […]
He Believes in Me…
“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person… He believed in me.” – Jim Valvano I’m more like my father than I realize. I have the same green eyes, the same “selective hearing”, and the same non-confrontational, passive personality.

Kiss Me, I'm Irish!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you are wearing green today, because if you’re not, then someone can pinch you… Or if you’re wearing green, you can expect someone to kiss you because you are Irish… Or something like that. I like this holiday because green is my favorite color and I like me Lucky Charms! Sorry, I was trying out some Irish humor… But seriously, I don’t wear green a lot, unless you count the several pairs of knickers I’ve got in varying shades of green. Sorry, T.M.I. Anyway, I like wearing green because it brightens up my green […]
