I don't … [Read more...]

She Likes Looking Good

February 9, 2011 by shelikespurple

Confession: this post title is brought to you by a very bad play off my personal blog's name, She Likes Purple. But, another couple confessions: I do like the color purple and I also like looking (and feeling!) good. So, am I cheesy? Yes! But, I'm honest too. See, a little over a year ago -- at the … [Read more...]

Why Do I Do It?

May 20, 2008 by Jen

And then I had my birthday this past weekend, and that seemed like a good excuse NOT to scrimp, so I didn't. And I actually had to unbutton my jeans when I … [Read more...]
