Get Noticed with Neon!

July 8, 2009

Even though your fingers probably aren’t the first thing that people notice about you, they still play a major role in your overall appearance. So this summer, why not bring attention to your fingers with a flash of neon on your nails? Electric pinks, dazzling yellows, and outrageous orange shades are all the rage this season. If you aren’t bold enough to wear these attention-grabbing colors at your fingertips, use these pretty polishes for your pedis!

Get Your Gams Ready for Summer!

July 1, 2009

When it comes to shaving, Schick is my favorite brand! I’m already a huge fan of their other razors so when I recently tried their Intuition Plus Moisturizing Care razor, I knew that I would be completely satisfied with the results.

This handy razor actually lathers and moisturizes as you shave, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. Plus, its four blades are accompanied with shea butter (the one I used) or milk and honey so there is no need for a gel, soap or body wash. This is the perfect razor to get your gams looking gorgeous for the summer!


Schick Intuition Plus Moisturizing Care razor available at www.drugstore.com for $9.99

A Legend Lost: Michael Jackson 1958-2009

June 26, 2009


The man who brought us some of the best pop songs in music history, Michael Jackson, has died. The King of Pop, 50, died from cardiac arrest on Thursday, June 25th.

Please share your favorite Michael Jackson songs, moments, etc. I must say, one of my favorite MJ moments was seeing him dance with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, a few years ago on the BET Awards. I have many others, but that one stands out to me the most right now.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson.

BGG Update

June 24, 2009

Dear BGG Readers,

During the summer months, I’ve decided to cut down on posts from 5 days a week, to approx. 3 days a week. I know that people are not inside as much on the computers during the warmer months so I think this will work out well.

Thanks so much and as always your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated! Do you have any summer plans? Weddings? Reunions? Vacations? Please share!

Enjoy the summer!
