Recently I happened across a GREAT blog for freelance writers and editors, called Freelance Writing Jobs.
I’ve been wandering around blogger.com lately, trying to figure out how to make my blog look as cool as the Freelance Writing Jobs blog. I want to put ads on my page. I want to offer relevant information to [...]

Lately, when I tell friends how I made the leap from PR/Journalism professional to becoming my own boss as a freelance writer, they want to know how I did it.
There are lots of technical issues to starting your own business that I will blog about later if it is requested. But today I want to [...]

I’m a journalist/PR professional who recently started my own firm, where I work from home and write articles, press releases, Web content, promotional brochures, etc. I have a room dedicated to my work. The walls are my favorite color green and I have bright curtains that let in light from five windows. There’s nothing gloomy [...]

I’m laying out in the sun a lot lately. I know it’s not good for you, but I am going to California to be in a beachfront wedding next month and I’m not having people whispering amongst themselves about how pale the girl from Florida is. Plus, I drown myself in Mary Kay skincare products [...]

My friend and I recently underwent our fourth laser hair removal treatment at Ideal Image. This time, we were looking forward to it because it was the first treatment we had while using the optional numbing cream.

In 12 weeks, I completely forget the clothing routine and for some reason I strip for this treatment. As I’m lying naked on the paper-covered table, [...]

I’m blogging about the laser hair removal process my friend and I are undergoing through Ideal Image. If you would like to read my first two blogs about this, they are appropriately labeled “Laser Hair Removal- Part 1″ and “Laser Hair Removal- Part 2.”
When our second treatment comes, we are actually looking forward to it. [...]

I had been informed during my initial consultation that the procedure was not painless; that the “discomfort” was “manageable,” but if I preferred, I could have a prescription for a numbing topical ointment to put on prior to my treatment. They described this “discomfort” as being similar to a bee sting. Well, a bee sting [...]

I’m sick of shaving. That, combined with Ideal Image’s quest to flood every form of media with advertisements about being hair free for life, recently convinced me to do something about it.
First of all, let me say that I’ve tried myriad hair removal methods. I’ve shaved everything. I’ve plucked in places I can barely see [...]
