Cy Twombly isn't new to the art scene, but this is for those who don't know who he is. His pieces are typically on large, neutral-covered surfaces with scribbles and abstract images. He is very well known for incorporating messy calligraphy. I do admit that some of his pieces look as though…

1. Deborah Lippmann I wrote a bit about the new yellow color I added to my crowded polish collection in my "follow the yellow brick road" post, but I didn't want to leave out the other two colors I purchased today. They sparkle a little bit more, but there's nothing wrong with a l…

I tend to get cravings for a little sugar in my tummy, but why does that one sliver of cake, bite of a cookie, or scoop of ice cream have to contain so many calories? If only the things I really enjoyed were healthy. I can either keep dreaming of the day sweets won't go directly to my thighs, o…
