Some holidays are better than others. I’m not gonna lie. This year was particularly challenging given some medical complications that occurred with a close family member. Suffice it to say, the Spa Boy and I spent a significant slice of our holidays in the hospital and while the prognosis is good, we have many more [...]
Spa Girl Musings
Musings from holidays past… If there’s one thing I love about the holidays – besides my sis-in-law Tina’s delectable Christmas cookies – is the conversations that unfold around the dinner table or during those long treks to and fro holiday shindigs. Spa Boy and I spent the week of Christmas in Colorado with his family. [...]
Dear Santa, My life is a mess. My office looks like Mother Nature had a raging party and Tornado Tequila passed out in the corner while Hurricane Harry did the tango on my desktop. My bathroom vanity looks the back room of a dive salon. My kitchen is awash in junk mail, bills and piles [...]

About a month ago, I was tagged by the lovely blog mistress of Ageless in Los Angeles to reveal five insightful things about myself. Because I’m a brooding cancer of the worse kind, it took me this long to ponder, pout and consult my therapist (I kid) before I could narrow it down to five [...]
Dear Spa Boy, The thought may have occurred to you (or not) that today is one of those dreaded days of forced external signs of affection. But don’t panic. I for one am here to tell you that not all us chicks are in it for the flowers, the candy or the frilly lingerie (although [...]
