New Year’s Eve Around the World

January 1, 2017 No Comments

Happy New Years! I always try {but sometimes fail} to stay up and watch the ball drop in Times Square in New York City. By the time you read this, you will also have celebrated New Year’s in your own way, with family and/or friends, with a fancy cocktail or non-alcoholic beverage of your choice. You will have watched fireworks light up the midnight sky, turned to your love and planted a big kiss on their lips, and sang the New Year’s Eve Song, “Auld Lang Syne”. Well, I’m a bit of a home-body, so yes, I watched the celebration […]

“It’s almost a kick that I’m looking for. I like to push myself, find new sides of myself and see how different the characters are that I can create with my craft.” – Alicia Vikander, Oscar-winning actress and star of the new movie, The Light Between Oceans. When I saw Alicia Vikander take the stage in her yellow strapless high-low dress to accept her Oscar, I knew then that she had a beauty and a style that couldn’t be match by any other actress.

20 Things a Woman Should Live By

August 23, 2016 No Comments

I found an interesting article a couple of years ago that listed “20 things a woman should live by” and I thought about how women of every generation can still learn a thing or two about life and living.
