Marthas Vineyard Diet Detox

Posted on by

Sure, they promise that you’ll lose 21 pounds in 21 days but before I start explaining how this works, you should know that the authors named this the Martha’s Vineyard Diet Detox because that is where they live. You should also know that it is my opinion that they live there because they can afford to. This 21 in 21 system will cost you a serious chunk of change and there is no money back guarantee. According to the authors, all sales are final. Reassuring, huh? Roni DeLuz is the founder and director of the Martha’s Vineyard Holistic Retreat at … Continue reading →

Martha Stewart Disses The Donald and Tim Gunn Disses Britney

So much for starting 2008 with a clean slate… It appears Martha Stewart can hold a grudge with the best of them. The domestic diva recently revealed to reporters that she is still mad at Donald Trump—-two years after they first exchanged unplesantries during a heated war of words. You’ll recall the verbal sparring started when Trump came out swinging at Stewart shortly after her Apprentice spin-off debuted on TV. “Donald said some things in all the hastiness that were unforgivable and I don’t have time for people like that,” Stewart told reporters at a public event yesterday. Instead, the … Continue reading →

Martha Stewart: NOT A “Good Thing”

You‘d think with all her ideas for hosting the perfect party that Martha Stewart would be able to make (and keep) more friends. Or, at the very least, not be so despised by the people who live around her. It seems that the domestic diva’s feud with some of her Westchester County, New York neighbors is getting ugly. Some may even say the melodrama is turning melodic. The war between Stewart and her neighbors has inspired a protest song that’s making its way around the Internet. The song was written by Katonah (located about 40 miles north of midtown Manhattan) … Continue reading →

Make December Meaningful

Posted on by

Last year at this time I was frantically planning our ward Christmas party. This year, I hope to be relaxing a bit more and taking care of a newborn babe. I have worked hard in previous months to get things “done” in an easy way like shopping online, leaving the decorating to someone else, and not planning too many activities. I look forward to sleepless nights with my little baby because I hope to be nursing by a Christmas tree and thinking about what is truly important this special time of year. I hope the slower pace will help me … Continue reading →

What Kind of Decorator are You?

When it comes to Christmas, what kind of decorator are you? Is your home decorated in a more traditional, old world style? Or are you more modern? Maybe you are somewhere in between. I’ve always had this Martha Stewart vision of a perfectly decorated home that looks like something out of a magazine. The reality is something quite different. Ever since that baby I brought home from the hospital was big enough to help with the decorating my tree was far from magazine perfect. It’s a collection of ornaments documenting my daughter’s life. When she was little all the ornaments … Continue reading →

Stress That Comes From Family Can Cause Angina

Posted on by

Some of the heart problems that run in your family could be due to the amount of stress that your family members cause each other.

Have You Seen the Modern Homemaker Line?

I am a homemaker myself. I made that choice when I decided to have kids. But, the term “homemaker” has always sounded old-fashioned to me. Anyone else feel this way? Well, whether or not it sounds old-fashioned, when we make the choice to stay home with our kids and be Moms, and give up careers, or other interests, we are in fact, making homes…right? Well, there is a line of scrapbooking papers and embellishments that I have to admit caught my eye. It is called Modern Homemaker by October Afternoon.
