As you all know, I'm still a part of the Volvo Big East Biggest Fan Competition.  This week Volvo challenged me to give a Volvo Off the Court Excellence Award.  If I had to choose one player, I would choose an outstanding member of my alma mater, senior Scarlet Knight Jonathan Mitchell.  Here are some of of his impressive stats: Fifth-year senior...Team co-captain in 2009-10...A natural lefty possessing an inside-out game and the ability to knock down shots from the perimeter, while … [Read more...]

Hi fab peoples! I have to admit it--I'm not a huge fan of televised sports.  I'm the type of person who would rather be at the game and participating rather than sitting on my couch.  Having exclusively attended schools on the East Coast, I can't help but be a huge Big East fan (the College of William and Mary, the George Washington University, and Rutgers University)--so I will be glued to the TV while I watch the b-ball games of my alma maters.  The question is:  Am I the biggest … [Read more...]

I'm still on the path to a healthier digestive system...and I'm into week 2 of the  Activia Challenge.  I only have one problem--the yogurt is actually really tasty---so my little ones are eating up my stash!  I  ended up getting extra reinforcements because the yogurt started to actually end up in my kids' lunchboxes--and they love it! Since day one, I have noticed a difference in my digestion--for the better.  Even after I birth this brand new baby boy, I will continue to eat … [Read more...]

I am very picky when it comes to cosmetics.  I have sensitive and acne-prone skin, so I can't just slather anything on it.  On top of that, I have oily skin--and the summer humidity makes it even worse here on the East Coast.  I am temperamental about trying new foundations--so I am more than delighted when I find a product of my liking.  Thanks to a great MUA friend, I now usually use Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra. The official site describes this amazing product below:  … [Read more...]

Happy MAN DAY!  I can't wait until July 25th--the premiere of the 4th season of Mad Men!  Although the show focuses on middle-aged, overpaid, over-indulgent white males, I truly enjoy the period piece drama---and the wardrobe!  The main character, Don Draper, is a complete card.  Although he's a adulteress, a liar, and a thief--he does provide some life gems to live by.  Esquire Mag has compiled a list of Don's Rules to Live By: 1.  Always keep a stack of clean dress shirts on … [Read more...]
