Dark Sharp Girls 1: Discreet Malice

Celebrated author, Gillian Flynn, has given me some of the greatest reads and subsequently some of the greatest watches of my life. As an avid reader, that is saying A LOT….. David Fincher said something to the effect of “she’s that 13yo girl watching a movie with a bucket of popcorn. She writes like an audience…

An Amazonian Dress Code?

Justice League was released two weeks ago. One of the first complaints I saw about it was the costumes of the Amazons. This bugged me to no end. The complaint was that they were less covered in JL vs Wonder Woman. The main difference here? a male vision vs a female vision. Now these people…

Wonder Woman: Love’s Champion

Oftentimes, people like to place you inside a box with a label. We were taught to resist it. “A simple answer is dishonest.…

The Longest Winter

Dear Reader, I have not written in a while.  I have 7 or so articles just sitting here unpublished. I can blame the holidays, I can blame my kids and our busy schedules or I can just be flat out honest. Honestly, recent events both personal and in this country have left me speechless…. devoid…

Haus of Beauté in Houston!

Ok ladies, here’s my first review of a local business! I plan on doing more reviews and being as honest, informative, and entertaining as I can. Let me start by saying even before the brow craze hit the Internet, my eyebrows have been SO important to me! They frame your face, and mine are thick…
