Living in Chicago, winter is the worst on our hands and feet. Don’t let the season take away from time caring for your precious nails.

What I Learned About Dating From My 17 Year Old Self
"I am the type that loves love and relationships. I hate the dating part though. It’s this awkward space full of getting to know someone and that does not always happen easily. I like things that happen organically and naturally. So now at 37, I find it both irritating and aggravating to have to navigate... Continue Reading →
My Kitchen Is Closed – The Price Of Non-Compliance
Back in the day when hubby and me married, we agreed that whichever one cooked dinner the other would clean the kitchen after dinner. We were both working and shared all the other house work.
