I routinely talk about my god-daughter because...well...she's awesome. In the summer when it is sunny and like 95 degrees outside, her little 3-year old skin needs extra care. I know that I should take my skin-care SPF precautions pretty seriously and I am an adult, so I can only imagine how extra serious her's must be. So after examining the SPF options for...

I love how-to sites on the web. I am not a naturally creative person but I am fairly industrious. Which means, I can't think up my own arts and crafts projects but I am great at following instructions. Wanna learn how to make paper? There's a how-to for that. Wanna make your clothes? Oh there are lots and lots of how-to's for that. My favorite how-to gem... [Read more...]

Father's Day is kinda of a big deal. My poor dad put up with a lot. He coached teams for sports we were terrible at. He attended an untold number of dance recitals when I am sure he would have rather poked his own eyes out. He tutored me in math my entire sophomore year of high school and I still got a "D." And he has paid for more car repair (due to my... [Read more...]
Yacht Rock Revue and the Reagan Rock Prom
Well it was bound to happen right? Yacht Rock (Atlanta's own smoothest cover and good-time band) played prom. That's right, over the weekend Yacht Rock Revue took us back to 1982 and played all the hits from that year.

This weekend I had a facial and the esthetician asked me how often I was wearing sunscreen. I admitted that I knew I was supposed to wear it every day but rarely did, and I could only be counted on to wear it when I was outdoors for a long period of time.
