DNF@45% I’m not really into music – by that I mean I am not an audiophile. I enjoy music and I have a large number of musician friends – who introduced me to wonderful music and informed my rather eclectic taste. But I don’t read books about musicians or music…. Read more »

Review: The Meaning of Everything by Simon Winchester
For English is a language that simply cannot be fixed, nor can it ever be absolutely laid down. It changes constantly; it grows with an almost exponential joy. It evolves eternally; its words alter their senses and their meanings subtly, slowly, or speedily according to fashion and need. Dictionaries that… Read more »
Product Review: Jillian Michaels’ BODYSHRED
When I started this review I was out of shape. I was placed on a complete exercise halt due to a bad hamstring sprain for 9+ months. Prior to the [most recent] injury, I would have considered myself an “experienced” exerciser – well, I would have called myself a “heavy… Read more »
Review: Every Woman’s Guide to Foot Pain Relief by Katy Bowman
I first learned of Katy Bowman in a very roundabout fashion: my stylist and I were discussing women’s health issues – specifically diastasis recti – and how there appears to be a dearth of easy to locate information. So I decided to research diastasis recti workouts and books. And I… Read more »
Review: I’m Judging You by Luvvie Ajayi
Here is where I dole out shade, side-eye, and basic-but-necessary advice for the needy – the logic-deficient who consistently come up short in this new world order of 140-character opinions, Facebook beefs, Instagram groupies, and pop culture idolization, i.e., The waste land, where common sense has tragically become the rarest… Read more »

Review: Sliding Into Home by Kendra Wilkinson
As I cracked open Sliding Into Home, I realized I’d hit a new low in my reading activities. I mean, I think Kendra is cute but I never thought she could read or anything like that. Wait. That was mean and unnecessary. I actually like Kendra. When I used to… Read more »
Review: Bunny Tales – Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion by Izabella St. James
Let me start with some honesty: Bunny Tales is not my typical sort of read. I became interested in reading Bunny Tales because I totally used to watch The Girls Next Door which starred Kendra Wilkinson, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt. When I started watching it, my curiosity was set… Read more »
Review: Seriously Delish by Jessica Merchant
I’ve been a follower of Jessica Merchant and her How Sweet Eats blog for quite some time now. I feel I’m pretty used to Jessica and her cooking habits. Which is why I decided to borrow Seriously Delish instead of buying it. And I’m glad I did. Although I’ve followed… Read more »
Review: God Is Disappointed in You by Mark Russell & Shannon Wheeler (Cartoonist)
God Is Disappointed in You is a shortened and comedic re-writing of the entire Bible. Yup. You read that correctly. It’s ok to be wrong once in a while. How stupid you look when you’re wrong is directly proportional to how certain you were right. A wise man will always… Read more »
