Facebook, Friends & Politics…What Do You Think?

It seems to me, that comments on social media have stooped to an all time low this past year, mostly due to politics I believe. When I read a news article, and believe me, I use the word “news” loosely these days, I know that at least half of the comments will be negative. And […]

What Do YOU Think? – Mini skirts…in your 40’s?

Women in their 40’s should not wear miniskirts… or, so I thought. Now that I’m in my 40’s, I don’t like that rule anymore. And I think that way about a number of “rules” of fashion from my past. What do you think?

Rude In-Laws? What Do You Think?

I received an email from one of our readers asking for help with a problem she has, wanting input from other women on how to handle a family situation she’s in.

Hairdresser Loyalty….What Do You Think?

I have a friend who went to her regular hair salon but her normal hairdresser was out, so she had someone else cut and style her hair. She was SO happy with the results, much happier than she had been with any of her previous cuts but now she’s worried about her next appointment and who […]
