Fabulous View

I’m adding a category for The View. I can’t help it. I care what happens on The View and when I watch it at the gym I find myself laughing out loud or clapping.
Today was like an emotional roller coaster:
I’m annoyed with Elisabeth: being totally defensive and irrational about The War, Bush, Iraq, and all […]

Why Don’t Women Feel Beautiful?

Jezebel.com has uncovered the Photoshopping of Faith Hill committed by Redbook Magazine.
It should make every woman mad. You’ll have to click this link to see it though - it is worth your time.
A. Faith Hill looked great before they ”fixed” her.
B. No wonder regular women feel bad about themselves - none of us walks around with […]

Fabulous Hair Accessory

I found this fantastic hair accessory at a street festival this summer. It’s a flexible pretty beaded barrette that can make a pony tail, French twist, bun, half-up and half-down, and any other up-do you can think of. In two seconds.
They are not tacky, ugly or awkward like the plastic claw. They are beautiful; therefore […]

Spousal Expectations

In my quest for a better marriage I’m trying to let go of some expectations that have nothing to do with my actual husband.
 
I think everyone had an idea of who their future spouse would be. It was made up of romance novel men, chick flick men, and exposure to real men we knew like […]

Historically Broke, Book Club Chapter 1

In Chapter 1 of Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny, Suze Orman brings up a very relevant point about the evolution of women’s work. We work now, but come from a social paradigm where working and having money is new. If you think in a historical context women have never had […]

Where’s My Freaking Complaint-Free Bracelet?

Dear Christs Church Unity,
I am writing to ask where my A Complaint-Free World Bracelet is. I ordered it quite a long time ago - surely you aren’t going to blame this one on the post office. What did you expect when you went on Oprah and asked everyone to email you for a free bracelet? […]

Message From The Universe

It’s not the “unseen” that’s fiction, Tracee, but the seen.And you know how fiction goes? You get to make stuff up.Tallyho -
    The Universe
Which, incidentally, Tracee, you do rather well…

I get these messages from the universe every weekday in my inbox. I love them. It’s like a little prayer, affirmation and meditative message from the Universe giving me […]

Hard Ass

While in Houston, my friend Rebecca took me to the gym with her. She’s the most hard-core person I know about fitness. An hour of cardio 5 days a week - no exceptions, no excuses. Acknowledgement and knowledge about every calorie taken in. (Is this worth the extra 100 calories?) Weight lifting and muscle building one […]

Fabulous! Festival

Fabulous! Festival, a blog carnival about fashion, has been issued by ICY over at Individual Chic. They are always kind enough to include me, even though some of my submissions question the value or place of fashion. I figure who better to make an impact on fashion culture than those who are actually interested in it? Besides, […]

Are You The Saddest-Looking Mom Ever?

A Girl’s Gotta Spa! is running one of those contests where you want to win cause you’ll get some really cool stuff, but if you win it’s kind of a put-down because you’ve let yourself go more than all the other moms. You still have 10 days to enter (sorry, I was on vacation). 
“Moms, by show of […]

Empowering Women Carnival

Somehow, I feel really connected to other women who want to empower women as a whole. It would seem that this would be obvious, but surely you’ve noticed how envy and/or competition and/or judgement might get in the way of feeling connected to other women?
A Modern Goddess Online hosts a great Empowering Women Carnival, which […]

Budgeting Carnival

I’m always a little surprised when someone tells me that they don’t make a budget. I suppose I always think Grown Ups make budgets. I guess not all of them do. I will say that I think it’s a wise thing to do if you ever want to get anywhere financially, anywhere besides where you […]

Cross-Country With Baby

I’m pretty depressed at the moment as my hubby packs up the mini-van to prepare to drive home tomorrow morning. That’s 24 hours in the car at best, 36 at worst.
It all depends on Zack. He’s good during the naps and then maybe an hour-and-a-half after that. Then there is just angry yelling. Not crying. […]
