Makeup Can Lift Your Spirits

This week sure has felt like an eternity and was quite a struggle. After Brody was born, I found that I was experiencing some pain that on a scale of 1-10, was an 11. I blew it off, as I absolutely hate doctors. However, by Friday I was to the point of sobbing and made […]

Brody is born!

Well girls, Brody has arrived! I went into labor around 1am Monday morning and then decided to head to the hospital at 4:15am. We got there at 4:50am and Brody made his entrance at 5:57am. Most of the moms reading this will know that this means I was unable to get an epidural…I’m still reeling […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope every mom is enjoying their day today! Here are my 3 guys playing with their Super Soakers that Steve (PMPR boss) bought them to celebrate their brother’s birth. Aren’t they beautiful?
Speaking of their brother’s birth…tomorrow (Monday) is induction day (again), but I am having some pretty big contractions as we speak. So who […]

14 hours, contractions every 3 minutes and….

Absolutely nothing. It appears that you can be tortured and your baby still can say, “Nah–I don’t feel like being born today.” Kind of reminds me of that Aflac commercial with the goat. So after 14 hours of being on Pitocin with contractions every 3 minutes, they sent me home because my body made no […]

Latest Baby News

The voting is now closed for the baby contest. Since today is not over, I can’t rule out if the baby will be born today or not. I’m actually hoping not because my midwife is not on call today. Instead its a doctor who had to be the one to tell me in January 2006 […]

Baby news–sort of

I’m just sayin. I know something YOU don’t know. I certainly don’t want to spoil the contest and it’s killing me not to share the news with some of my friends who have ventured a guess for the contest.
Which, by the way, the prize is a gift certificate to Sephora. I realized in my […]

A Contest That Is Totally Off Topic

I have makeup sitting here just waiting for me to write it’s review…yet today I feel a little lazy (and fat as I eat this double chocolate swiss miss cake roll–but it’s for the baby!)
So I’d like to have a little contest regarding my baby. Yes, I know. I am totally baby-focused at the moment […]

She Unlimited: Bait & Switch Tactics

I had put this whole She Unlimited fiasco far behind me (For reference to what happened you can read here and here ). I mean, it happened in December after all and was blogged about in January. So when I received an apology letter about a week or so ago from the CEO, I wondered […]

Jay Manuel–my secret crush revealed!

Most people who know me, know I LOVE Isaac Mizrahi, but when it comes to beauty I have another love. I decided to write about this man that I admire the other day with Steve (my boss) knowing that I secretly had a crush on Jay Manuel.
So imagine my surprise today when I looked at […]
