There has been a “War on Christmas” for years now in the United States and I am here to set the record straight. CHRISTMAS … Is NOT a war on human happiness, it is not a competition nor a protest on peace. It is not a Day to emotionally injure and offend those who believe […]
The color Black has a Power that I like to call … “Accidental Sophistication.” It can declare to the world, “I am Type A, Fear me!” or … “I just stepped off the runway and would rather not be noticed, thank you.” The rules of dressing in All Black are not too lengthy, making this […]
When it comes to wearing leggings, there is one point you must never forget … They have not, nor will they ever be pants! If you are guilty of going outside of your home wearing a pair of securely fitted, silhouetted pants without a covering for your bum … […]
