How do you get an emoji makeover?
A week ago, I had no idea that having a personalized emoji was even a thing, and now I am ready for an emoji makeover. It all started with Connie’s “I got this!” emoji. The morning she sent that first superhero emoji, incredibly Connie-like and perfectly apt for the moment, she was embarking on her […]

My 21 seconds of fame…
As the marketing representative for the Innovation Hub, I am often asked to approve media coverage of the building, its events, and its tenants, but I have never had to represent the company on TV. Until now.

If she only knew…
Sometimes it’s better not to know. For instance, when your husband thinks the dress you wore to work that day makes your hips and hind end look larger than life, you’d rather he tell you after work, not on a lunchtime date when you have an entire half day yet to work while wearing it. But that […]

A throwback at Christmas…
Last night, my oldest sister sent a text that included the photo at left, above, and the sentence, “Recognize anything besides Tal in this photo?!?!” At first glance, the precious photo merely captured the Christmas card my nephew Tal and his little family sent this year — though not to my mailbox. (Hmmm…) But my eyes […]

Kicking boot and taking aim…
*Warning: This blog post has no substance whatsoever. Last year I ordered a pair of boots online, got them, tried them on, felt they went with nothing I owned, and returned them. This year, I ordered a pair of boots online — not because I liked just the sale price but because I liked the […]

When I am scared of pants…
Americans are getting fatter and fatter, yet the pants we wear are getting smaller and smaller. I just don’t understand it. Personally, trying on pants has made me so afraid it reminds me of Dr. Seuss’s beloved What Was I Scared Of? The rhyming children’s book on fear and tolerance tells the story of an […]

Like a pedicure in winter…
When asked what I wanted for my birthday in August, I said “just a pedicure” and got the go ahead from my husband. Since a pedicure is not exactly something someone could wrap in a box and have me unwrap on the big day, it was up to me to make the appointment and get it […]

Flowers, frills, and ostrich quills
I was expecting a laptop battery from Amazon, and so when I spotted the nondescript package near my door, I assumed it had arrived. But it was wrapped in brown paper–not the usual Amazon fare–and the postmark indicated Fruitville Road in Sarasota, my old hometown. My mother can’t remember birthdays anymore (definitely the subject of […]

Clothes cover a multitude of sins…
If life were a beach, I would have no cellulite. Because I am vain enough that if given the “opportunity” to wear a bathing suit every day of my life, I would work harder to look good wearing one. Clothes cover a multitude of sins. I’ve said that with a smile on my face over […]

Chronicles of Marmia, Day 3
I managed to sleep until almost 6:30 this morning, and I awoke still tired but excited for the day. I have been looking around the hotel that we are blessed to be in, and I am seeing that, as they say, everything is bigger in Texas. If nothing else, a bigger budget than my own […]

Happy feet…
Some people have comfort food. I have comfort shoes. (To be honest, I have both.) I wear sandals during the warmer months, but if I had my way, I’d be totally European and wear socks with them. Actually, I’d be totally me and wear socks with my very worn pair of Crocs. No matter what […]

Hoodie = hoodlum?
The blogger explores the role fashion played in the death of Trayvon Martin, a teen wearing a hoodie shot by a self-appointed neighborhood watchman in March 2012.
