A few years ago Chris and I were talking about where we would love to live. We like Orlando but it is always fun to think about a change. Chris decided he wanted to move to Napa Valley and run a winery

I have a rebounder I keep in my office for when I get cold. We live in Orlando, Florida - it really doesn't get cold here. But when I sit still at my computer for too long I start to get cold even if

Have you tried this Surf Spray from Bumble and Bumble? I have used it a few times and I feel like it roughs up my thin wimpy hair just enough without it being too messy. My hair tends to get oily quickly
