All the pretty dresses. In my humble opinion, such perfection is exhausting to witness in such numbers, let alone comment on. Kudos to the following designers for being the 'chosen ones' selected on Oscar night to have their dresses paraded on the red carpet before 1 billion eager fashion forward thinking viewers. Because let's own it girlfriend, - We (the morons who watched the ridiculously long winded 4 hour live telecast & 1 hour red carpet special) are way more into the dresses than the award speeches.

I glanced at the cover quickly, shuddered, blinked hard, and tried to pretend that 'said' glance had never happened. Then I did what any typical warm blooded woman my age would do - I reached for People Magazine. People Magazine is my comfort zone. In fact, I have the People App downloaded on my phone to keep me updated on...Indulgehttp://www.indulgedecorblog.com/blog/2013/02/kate-and-her-amazing-snowballs.htmlValentine Gift Ideas All Under 100 Caloriestag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a01157204a024970b017d40d4c433970c2013-02-06T18:23:37-06:002013-02-07T10:13:16-06:00Valentine Gift Ideas All Under 100 Calories If you are the (unsavory) type to use religious holy days such as Lent to go on a self absorbed diet (like I did in the past for so many years, shame spiral), then you will certainly appreciate all our festive Valentine gift ideas under 100 calories, ha ha ha.

I love the idea of committing to a notion and trying to stick with 'said' notion for a defined period of time. Just to strengthen the resolve of 'said' notion, I make a point of blabbing my New Year's determination(s) to several friend's and family members for emotional support hence I stray from my self proclaimed notion/determination path. I find that sharing my New Year's notion amongst close friends is also beneficial in a - "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours."- grand gesture.

On my trip to the Cote d'Azur, I came to the startling realization that I am actually living vicariously through myself. It's as if I exist in some type of incredible John Malcovich work/luxury travel portal in which I get to travel to all these fabulous places in the world for work, and it (luxurious travel) is legitimately expected of me.
