In the March 2010 issue of Glamour magazine, there was an editorial featuring an excerpt from Eve Ensler’s book I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World. According to Glamour, this editorial is “the most important 433 words to read” because Eve Ensler “celebrates the true power of a woman.” Eve Ensler is a feminist, an activist, a playwright, and a performer, but she is best known as the author of The Vagina Monologues. You can check out her website – www.eveensler.org – if you’d like to find out more about her. Here is what Eve Ensler wrote: “Dear Emotional […]
Dinner with Kate and Goldie
“I am compelled to continuously see the bright side. It is in my DNA. My kids look at me and say: ‘Mom, you’re so happy!’ And I do feel happy. I feel joyful inside. I can’t explain it.” – Goldie Hawn “I have zero problems when people say, “God, you look like your mother”. I go, “Well, great! Thanks!”” – Kate Hudson There are a lot of mother-daughter actresses out there, but one of the more famous duos — and my favorite — is Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn.

10 Summer Reads for 2016
I’m a bit of a book nerd. I love to crack open a book and smell the pages. That, to me, is book heaven. I know, it’s a little weird, but I’m sure you’ll crack open a book or two this summer.

They were really good! I’m glad I read/listened to The Girl on the Train before the movie came out! 1. The Girl on a […]
Links I Love
Since I revamped my blog earlier this month, I have been looking at starting a new weekly or monthly series (or two). I have found myself drawn to other bloggers posts about “links they love”, so today, starts the first in a series. My plan for this series – “Links I Love” – is that it will become a monthly series.

I recently purchased Sarah Wilson’s book, I Quit Sugar, with every intention to quit the sweet stuff. My sugar addiction is off the charts! I’m giving myself some time to thoroughly read the book, to clean out my cupboards and fridge, and to develop an attack plan. Thankfully, my friend, Katy, said that she would quit sugar with me. Now I’m […]
