Body & Mind | Chronicling Weight Loss Stumbles and Goals

Not many know that I at one time was almost 400 pounds.  WOW…even now that number seems far too high and I lived it!  I can’t really say everything that got me to that point, nor do I even know really what it was that sparked the fire in me to lose nearly 200 of those pounds.  I remember going to a doctor visit and the first thing the doc said to me was “you know you have a weight problem, right?”  “REALLY? I NEVER knew!  Tell me doc, exactly how many years of medical school did it take you … Read More »

Style & Beauty | Perfect Bag for Jet Setter/Environmentalist

When I jet set, I always seem to have a lot to carry with me on the plane. I like to bring my Travel-U pillow, my N-A-P travel blanket and eye mask, book/magazines, i-pod, snacks…you get the idea! Well, I have not only found a great bag to take it all with me in, but the bag is also very Environmentally Friendly. Meet the Maggie Bags!!! They are bags made out of seat belts that were rejected by the manufacturer. I didn’t know this, but every year, MILLIONS of yards of seat belt webbing are turned down for the slightest … Read More »

Body & Mind | The Single Girl Freak-out

There comes a time once a year, that makes many cringe. Some will come down with pseudo serious nausea, irrational thinking, unintentional bon bon eating, and lest we forget the waterworks. This time of year can be detrimental to our psyche, and without proper care we could end up spending an entire 24 hours utterly miserable.

Ten points and one golden star to the lucky reader to guess what day I am referring to.

Raise your hand if Valentine’s Day is not your idea of a good time. I would like to say that for those readers who are in happy, loving … Read More »

Style & Beauty | Individual Style

I love style. I find it to be such a personal reflection of who we are as individuals. I just love it when I’m walking around town and stop in awe over someone’s fashion appeal.

When I see people truly owning who they are – no excuses – and reflecting that in the way they carry themselves – it’s magic. I almost feel I understand a little bit about that person and what their likes or dislikes may be – or, at least I find it fun to imagine.

There are so many people out there that search magazines, celebrity tabloids, and … Read More »

Home & Family | The Doctor Will See You Now

Welcome to the doctor’s office.  Vintage metal cabinets that once adorned your favorite doctor’s office now feel at home in your office, den or dining room.  Made of heavy durable stainless steel, these metal cabinets were built to last.

It doesn’t always have to be wood.  Mix things up once in awhile and use some metal cabinets or tables and you’ll feel right at home.  If you are lucky enough to find some rusted metal ones all the better.  The doctor will see you now!

Fill this metal cabinet with your favorite books or dishes

Arts & Entertainment | SNL is Back

As I watched Saturday Night Live at a buddy’s house last weekend, I couldn’t help but think one thing: SNL is back! This year SNL celebrates its 35th anniversary and in my opinion, this year’s cast is in the prime to take their place alongside SNL legends.  Generations have grown up with different “All Star” casts.  There were the original years with John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and Chevy Chase who were among the cast that literally started it all.  Then there was that great cast of the mid 80’s to early 90’s with Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, and Chris Farley … Read More »

Style & Beauty | Building Your Wardrobe With Signature Pieces

One of the perks of owning an online magazine is all the jewelry and apparel lines that I’m introduced to daily.  As I discover these talented designers, I find that often I’m looking at their websites with the thought of finding my next signature piece.

Building my wardrobe around signature pieces has really become my way of expressing myself and my style.  I build an outfit with the thought that one piece needs to stand out.  Whether it’s fabulous shoes, a statement necklace or a surprise pop of color, every outfit has to have one signature piece.

Back in the 80’s, I … Read More »

Arts & Entertainment | Love in a Waffle House

While wasting time one morning last summer, I found myself sitting in a Waffle House having coffee. An unexpected and unusual trip landed me in a booth with a birds-eye view of the whole joint. I felt comfortable in the retro vibe and lured in by the odd aroma of bacon cooking and the lingering smell of cleaning agents.  There was such a somber mood shared by the staff and patrons alike. We were all in one small place and yet completely alone in our own little worlds.

In such a ho hum environment where people go about their morning routine, … Read More »

Style & Beauty | Makeup for Eczema and Sensitive Skin

Hey Christopher, My name is Dee and I’m from the UK.

I haven’t used your make-up yet, but it seems really convincing. I love watching your videos and have got a better idea about your products. But I just wanted to ask you a quick question: I had eczema when I was a child and now I have grown out of it, but I do still break out on my face with eczema if I use the wrong product- I have used mineral make-up like sheer cover and bare minerals but they have dried my skin out and my eczema … Read More »
