Mr Wonderful to the (Beauty) Rescue!

I’ve mentioned my husband a few times in previous posts…. I lovingly refer to him as “Mr Wonderful.”  And, while some of you may have assumed a little tongue-in-cheek sarcasm, there is none.  Because Mr Wonderful is actually pretty wonderful.  He is my most favorite person in the whole world.  And, every single day, I am grateful that I am his favorite person, too. Our married life has been happy.  Though some could never fathom it, we spend nearly every {Read More}

Denim on Denim

a little peep from little blog:   You CAN wear denim on denim. Just make sure the denim is contrasting. (and, for goodness sake, let’s not call them as “dungarees” ;-D)

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Has the Rouge Gone Rogue?

We all know we’re not supposed to share our makeup. And most of us know we should wash our hands before applying products. But did you know you should replace your cosmetics on a regular basis? Even before you open a bottle, tube or palette box, the clock is ticking. — And once you break the seal, air and microbes are free to move in.  It’s only a matter of time before bacteria begins to grow. Yikes! Like to learn {Read More}

Feel the Love; Be the Love; Share the Love

Whether you’re celebrating your beloved, a special friendship, sweet family ties, the companionship of a cherished pet or a blessed life…. Feel the love; be the love; share the love.   And be good to yourself today. ~ Jennifer   Just for fun, a few quotes and thoughts on love: Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart. ~ unknown There is no remedy for love but to love more. ~ Thoreau Trip over love, {Read More}

“Designer Valentine” Giveaway

I am not particularly interested in designers or their labels.  I am certain they are even less interested in outfitting my plus size body.  This works out well for all concerned, as my purchases have always been based on the way an item looks, fits and feels rather than who made it. Because there are so few designers making anything larger than a 12 or 14, and because I’m never actively seeking out specific lines, they rarely find their way {Read More}

In this New Year…

          MAY YOU ALWAYS by Larry Markes and Dick Charles May you always walk in sunshine, Slumber warm when night winds blow. May you always live with laughter, For a smile becomes you so…. May good fortune find your doorway; May the bluebird sing your song. May no trouble travel your way; May no worry stay too long…. May your heartaches be forgotten; May no tears be spilled. May old acquaintance be remembered And your cup of {Read More}

Happy New Year!

Wishing you JOY in the coming New Year! ~ Jennifer

Merry Christmouse

So, are you Christmas-ing yet? I got off to a bit of a late start this year…. Oh, I trimmed a beautiful tree on the first of December.  It’s six-feet-and-change of tinselly silver ~ lit with fine, white fairy lights and generously adorned with assorted sterling trappings including (but certainly not limited to) vintage Shiny-Brite balls, glitter-encrusted pinecones, embroidered satin stars, big beaded snowflakes and sparkly Swarovski drops ~ all lovingly hung on gossamer white ribbon. And I carried that {Read More}
