No matter the shade of our rose tinted glasses we are presented with reality in black and white. We do not live in a perfect world. We live in an imperfect world with imperfect people.

It is our imperfections that cause grief, insecurity, hate, racism….to name a few.  Read more... (667 words, 2 images, estimated 2:40 mins reading time)

One of the first things that people see when you speak or smile is your teeth.

Right now all the craze is teeth whitening. Its every where. Even the Kardashian sisters are cashing in by endorsing a trendy teeth whitening product called Idol White…my guess is (based on the name) this product will supposedly get your teeth as white as your celebrity idol.

I don’t know if that works or not but an old school home remedy my family has always used is good ole baking soda and peroxide. I know that sounds gross (it is). Guess what? It actually works.  Read more... (206 words, 2 images, estimated 49 secs reading time)

I don’t know what country Pat is talking about…but he can’t possibly be talking about America!

Do we really want to get into who built what, how, why etc….?

I am truly at a loss for words.

My friend Sarah said it best “it’s like watching our childhood die today.”

Earlier today we got the news that Farah Fawcett died, now this…

indeed this is like watching my childhood die. I’m so sad

Back in the day we used to actually say that the world would just stop if Michael Jackson died…It has.

Yesterday I got all worked up watching Why Did I Get Married. I saw it back when it first came out and got worked up then too…Why do I do this to myself lol.
