She Wore What: You can’t beat an oversized t-shirt
I’m not even sure this t-shirt is supposed to be oversized. But it certainly has that feel to it. It slouches off my shoulder and is wide and comfortable in that oversized style. So let’s just say it’s so, right? A while ago the ladies at 17 Sundays told me that they had sourced a…

How to have a difficult conversation without becoming a waffling mess
The lovely Ms Sheri Bomb requested I expand on the “How to have a Direct Conversation” post by talking about how to approach difficult or scary conversations to avoid turning into a waffling, babbling mess.

How the heck do you hope to feel sexy wearing THAT!?
Underwear is something I get asked about a lot. Shapewear in particular. You know that guts strangling stuff that squishes your organs into your spine and causes an unavoidable struggle of epic proportions every time you need to use the ladies? Yeah, that stuff. You tell me that you would like to feel sexy, look…
