Winters can be so tough on feet...all those months crammed into boots (not to mention ski boots or skates), with no thought of a pedicure... I shudder at the thought! So while we're all slowly (very slowly) working our way into Spring, give your feet some love and check out the Spring fashions from … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading: “After I’m Gone”
There are very few feelings better than getting a handful of pages into a new book and realizing that you love this writer, this genre, and these characters. Last week on the first day of my March Break staycation, I picked up Laura Lippman's "After I'm Gone", a book that had been recommended to me … [Read more...]
