TABOO TRUTHS

I saw this story on Good Morning America and wondered what other Mom’s think?  My girls are grown young woman and they still are not fond of me having a couple glasses of wine.  When they were younger I was far to busy to think about having cocktails on play dates.  But then again back then they were not called play dates…we just went to the playground!

What do you think?  Is it ok to unwind a bit with some good friends while your kids have fun playing?

Here’s the Story from ABC news.

Of course I take pride in this tip…my daughter is the owner of this custom jewelry designer line!  Lindsay graduated from Grand Valley State University last December with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, moved to Charlottesville and is now renting a portion of a studio to create her vision!  Working full time at another job…she makes time in the studio, sketches creative ideas and is dedicated to her craft.  Angel Jewelry currently are creations of sterling silver sometimes utilizing semi-precious stones, glass and shells.  She is now creating a line of earrings to accent the design of her pendants.

If you are looking for something different, earthy and one of a kind…you’ll find a piece to love in Angel Jewelry!  Lindsay will even take a stone/shell you have and create a design just for you!  Take a look at her current pieces at her Etsy page and on her Facebook page!

My daughter Courtney has been contemplating changing her hair color for quite some time.  For a few years now she has desired to go red!  I “enhanced” my hair color years and years ago.  I went from blonde (bleached, permed, 80′s hair blonde!) to red in one emotionally twisted day!  I love it and have no desire to go back!  And NO…I will not post a picture!

Tina, my sister is the proprietor of Divinity Design Studio in MI and a master of hair color!  She graciously agreed to take on this challenge!  My sisters were in VA this past weekend visiting.  So after a trip to the Cville Market and getting drenched from a sudden downpour…we hit the beauty supply store for the chemical concoction to perform the transformation.

The result?  A vibrant depth of red now matches my girls personality.  Fiery, passionate, short tempered, opinionated….  And yes, for those of you who know me or have met me, I’m talking about myself as much as my daughter!  According to some, “Red hair was thought to be a mark of a beastly sexual desire and moral degeneration.”  from Redheads: Myths, Legends, and Famous Red Hair 95 Hmmm…

Now, most of the personality traits and folklore applies to “true” redheads.  I think by choice or chance…reds are reds!!  Is there a redhead in your life?  Do you agree?
