    Re #7- The GPS is never right for the quickest way to my office from my house. It deliberately routes me to major highways instead of the small road that’s a direct cut past 3/4 of the traffic in town. the suggested route has twice the school zones, traffic lights and congestion from interstate exits. The GPS route takes 3 x what my route does.

      I’m completely with you. The assumption that GPS’s know the most optimal route is flawed. Google, on the other hand, has become pretty great, especially with the Waze acquisition, but my regular GPS is terrible.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth).

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us.
