7 Birthday Party Ideas for Adults
*Editor’s Note: I hate to have to put a disclaimer on this article, but I am fearful of the angry responses I may receive for talking about social gatherings of any sort in the current environment. I like to give the benefit of the doubt and believe that most people who read this will know that these ideas are obviously for a future time when we are no longer asked to practice social distancing. Unfortunately, too many people are acting as “police enforcement” via social media and other online forums, thereby requiring disclaimers on anything we share publicly. So for those of you who might be ready to chastise and…

Guest Post: Hair
Note from Shelbee: I have been wanting to write a post about our relationship with our hair for some time now but have never quite gotten around to it. Then Susan sent me this article about her own relationship with hair. For me, it has taken a lifetime to appreciate and even love my own hair. I find that many women always desire that which they do not have and do not appreciate what they do have. Curly heads want straight hair. Straight heads want curly. Those with thick hair wish it were thinner. And those with thin hair would kill for thicker. Tow heads dye their locks while brunettes…

Guest Post: What to Wear to a Nude Beach & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #93
Note from Shelbee: This post was written and contributed by my friend and avid blog reader, Susan Marinelli. Susan has very graciously offered to write some posts for me while I am still trying to figure out how to manage 3 part time jobs, 2 kids and a husband, and 1 blog. Plus, she has been considering starting her own blog (which I absolutely think she should) and wanted a little experience at writing in blog post form. I find Susan’s writing style an absolute joy to read and her sense of humor far surpasses any other human being I have ever met. She is hilariously witty and as left…
