"If you wear clothes that don't suit you, you're a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better." ~ Vivienne Westwood I have searched high and low for the perfect Romper. With my petite height, yet working the Kim K derriere, it seemed like a romper to fit my body would [...]
"Take good care of your skin and hydrate. If you have good skin, everything else will fall into place." ~ Liya Kebede The struggle is real From the time I reached puberty, I had a love hate relationship with my face. Going between oil slicks to crater like break-outs like it was an intense tennis match between [...]
"Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home." ~ Matsuo Basho In the air again! Last Thursday I flew back to New Hampshire (I know! Wasn't I just there?) for my niece's baptism as well as to have a reunion with my best friend and mermaid extraordinaire Tiffany. My mer-twin and I [...]

"Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag." ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn I have been on the rails and in the skies, working on my frequent mile points. California was only just the beginning or perhaps the middle of my jet setting [...]

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror.
