We’re traveling today.  I’m so ready to be home with my pups.  Not so much my bar prep books, but definitely my pups.  Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays.

    I picked up a Penfield Hoosac parka at the Nordstrom half-yearly sale, 25% off! I may have to go to South Dakota in February for work, and while it’s fun to joke about a SoCal girl having nothing to wear in the (real) winter, I don’t actually want to freeze. When someone starts talking about -20 I know I’m not prepared. Also, the last time I bought a winter coat was a decade ago, so thought it was time to get a nice grown up version.

      Don’t forget to buy good socks and good gloves. Out of staters always show up in MT with great coats and then skimp on the socks. Smartwool.

    Absolutely agree on the socks. Smartwool is a fantastic product. Once your feet and hands get cold it is difficult to get warm again. Case in point: If you an find them, I recommend you get a couple of pair of thin liners for your gloves. Get the ones that are tech friendly so you can use your phone/tablet without having to expose your hands to the cold.

    • Monica T says:

      Thanks for the tips ladies! Luckily, I am a camper and have a good selection of smartwool socks, but I will probably need to get some other base layers, and glove liners sound like a great idea! What constitutes good gloves for that kind of weather I wonder, leather or wool?

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 idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

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. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
