A bunch of us are going to Ruby Skye on Saturday for a friend’s birthday party. I haven’t been to this club before but it’s one of the most popular dance spots in San Francisco. It’s supposed to rain all Saturday and will probably be about 110 degrees in the club….so what to wear?Flared V…

L’Occitane is having a sale. Stock up on fabulous candles, skin saving shea butter and delightful perfumes! Visit L’Occitane (pronounced “loxitan,” see earlier demoralizing post) online or in stores to pick up some goodies from Provence. My picks: rose bath soap, shea butter travel set, guest soap collection and rose pepper candle. I’m addicted and…

It dawned on me last night that the reason I feel spring has sprung is that I just received my White Flower Farms catalog.

Has this ever happened to you? You’re typing away happily at work, listening to your iPod. All the sudden, a song you’ve never heard before comes on. What’s happening? Where did this atrocious song come from? Am I drunk right now? This just happened to me with a song from “P Money & Scribe.” Apparently…
