Whether paired with a simple and casual wide leg jean or dressed up with a chic patterned midi skirt, there are endless options when it comes to rocking your signature bootie....
Nothing beats a great white blouse when it comes to quickly putting an outfit together that looks stylish and chic. A white blouse always looks fresh and crisp. BA50's may have a few white blouses in our closets, but it is important to have the "right" ones that make you feel and look your best. ...
Khaki is similar to camel, but has a more hip, urban feel. Khaki pairs well with denim, black, and white, and also pops of color like hot pink and orange. Some skin tones look better than others in khaki, but we can all wear this shade of brown. Choose khaki on the bottom half of your outfit and pair it with a top in a flattering shade, or.......
At times, I barely recognize the former me. A slow drip or should I say an injection of hope is on the horizon as the vaccine rolls out and into the arms of friends and family but in the meantime......
I wonder about the behaviors of the new me that have become embedded over the past year.Â
"No problem, I can wake up at 5:30 for our yoga class." Did I just say that? Yup.Â

For years, advertisers have tried to convince women that we should be ashamed of any aroma that might be leaching out of our Southern Hemisphere. A quick online search for “vaginal odor products” yields nearly five million treatment options including one called “Private Party Vaginal Probiotic” and another, a complete “Vaginal Health Kit,” in case just one product doesn’t nip the problem in the bud. Thank god someone who actually has one is finally reassuring us that, gee, our vaginas smell terrific!
I’ve barely caught up with the aforementioned candle, when, lo and behold, Gwyneth’s back in the laboratory....
I carefully applied Nars Roman Holiday lipstick; just a hint of color to go with the sweater, instead of a darker color that doesn't suit my aging complexion. To avoid gas, I was not drinking a vodka tonic. Instead, I smoked a joint called Banana Kush that promised “a mellow buzz and a relaxed sense of euphoria in social settings.” Just for kicks, I spritzed myself with my favorite jasmine perfume and logged into Zoom a little early.
“I look good.” I thought. “Cute even. And the Zoom filter hides all my wrinkles.”’
I had purposely made myself the Zoom host so I would have time to examine and re-examine my on-screen appearance and create the right lighting, if need be....
Last Saturday with no plans, I reserved a timed entry for one person to the Whitney Museum of Art and headed downtown. I plugged my earbuds in listening to the museum’s audio guide, and took my time revisiting my favorites and appreciating some new works of art. No one interrupted, distracted, or expected anything of me. My skin tingled with inspiration, as my heart rate slowed. My feet floated through the galleries, while my spirit was grounded....
How the Hell did I get into this thing anyway?
I managed to get the straps down and push the cups to my waist. Trying to push the thing down over my hips was harder, my thumbs got stuck in the underpants. Standing there, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, thumbs in my crotch. I needed one hand to pull out the other. I jerked my right hand out really hard and my arm ricocheted into the side of the dressing room partition. If my arm didn’t hurt so bad I might think this was funny. Thank God I was the only one in the dressing room. Ok what are my options?...
While there are still biting cold temperatures and snow on the ground for much of the country, it's not too early to start thinking about spring shoes. Now is a good time to take stock of your closet and fill in any gaps you might have. ...

I thought he loved me. He’d answer my call with a “be there in 30” no matter where he was. He gave me time and attention. I knew I was a lucky girl. I held onto him. How many women could say that about their plumber?...
