Mommy Manicures

When was the last time you received a manicure? A real manicure. Not streaks of Plum Passion painted on by your 5-year-old. I’m talking about the real deal; professional nail treatment courtesy of a hired hand. I’m pretty sure the last time I paid someone to push back my cuticles and buff my nails was the day before I got married. That was more than eight years ago. I remember thinking how nice it would be to enjoy a day at the spa following the birth of our daughter. That was more than six years ago. Back then I would … Continue reading

Downward Spiral of a Teen Mom

Let’s face it; even if your baby daddy is not an immature douchebag and your parents haven’t kicked you to the curb for having unprotected sex, getting pregnant while you are still a teenager is not going to be problem-free.

In December, the 21-year-old mother went public decrying her arrest for assaulting Shirley, her on-again, … Continue reading

The Manicure

Jessie did a great job of keeping still and letting me do the painting and not touching her toes until they were dry. She had very nice looking summer toes. We had so much fun and need to do it again. Since I usually end up cutting my nails too short so I decided to treat myself to a pedicure. I had one not too … Continue reading

Hollywood’s Biggest Winners

Now that we took care of the losers, I thought it would be interesting to focus on some celebrities, who for some reason or another are able to keep their winning streak alive. I’ll start with Candy Spelling. With a name like that you would think that she lives a sweet life… and you’d be right. Tori’s mommy dearest has got to be one of the luckiest women in the world (at least financially). Not only did she inherit zillions when her Hollywood TV mogul husband passed away a couple of years ago, but the woman has an unbelievable talent … Continue reading
