**Update: As of Sunday Sept 6th, Nicole Arbour's videos have been disabled. Per Nicole, YouTube has diablos her account, but YouTube has denied this claim lending merit to the speculation that Nicole herself has disabled her account in order to gain more exposure. Ironically, this tactic is working for her as many news sources are now covering the story of this shut down, such as CNN. I hope that the channel and all of the videos are put back online, because as I do not agree with the content, I do believe in freedom of speech. I also believe that important conversations were brought about by what was said in her video.  There are so many things in this video that are inaccurate, that I don't even know where to start. I'll start here: Did you ever think that your "bomb of truth" might injure someone? Your channel gaining followers due to some viral videos (which is probably the motivation behind this video) the shrapnel from your "bomb of truth" may

I recently received three new, pink lipsticks in a swap with one of those awesome online friends I have never met in real life, but whom I have known for about 15 years. I decided I would try each of them and share my impressions with all of you. I'm going to go from pale to bright - just because I feel like it. #1       First I tried City Colors Creamy Lip Stain in Flirtini. The color was subtle and a little paler than I usually like. It wasn't as creamy as I was expecting and had a more velvety feel. There is a slight rose scent, which I was really not a fan of. After a little while, I blotted to see if this "stain" had any staying power and it came right off.       I wouldn't buy this color for myself,  but it will go into my make-up stash at home in case I find occasion for it. maybe for a job interview or something?     #2     Next up was NYX Butter Lipstick in Little Susie (BLS12) This is an easy lipstick to wear. I

The Gunn House Hotel Sonora, California A recent house hunting trip required an over night stay in Sonora, California. While our family would usually stay with my best friend and her family, we were without children and opted to spring for a hotel room. There were many different events going on in the surrounding area and we were lucky enough to get one of two remaining rooms at The Gunn House Hotel.       Check in was easy and we were handed an actual key for room 15. Making our way around the building toward our room, we passed through the courtyard. Decorated with some fun antiques and some signs with quirky sayings pained on them, the hotel could be described as "quaint."    Landscaping  Wrought-iron detail Courtyard     Our room was upstairs which was fine , but there was no elevators, so booking a room on the first floor would have been smart considering my husband has some mobility issues. It turned out not to be a real issue for us

I will be the first to admit that I think I'm dying. Every few days, there is something that I feel or see on or in my body that convinces me I have cancer, meningitis, plague or the flesh eating zombie virus. When my face hurts on the left side, I know it has to be a stoke. What do you mean "that's not what happens when you have a stroke"? Although I am a self-labelled hypochondriac, I'm a horrible one. Usually I only tell my husband when I think I'm dying and then we both laugh about it. He is not callous about my health concerns. He just knows, based on experience, that he will suggest I go to the doctor and I will not go. One of the things that causes me more anxiety than that weird mark  on my leg, is spending money on a copay to go find out what it is. (I wonder if I can get them to waive my co-pay based on the deep personal distress it causes me...probably not) All of these facts are just to illustrate how serious I am when I tell you about the thing

No I'm not talking about drinking too much wine and embarrassing my husband. I'm talking about bath time. If you've never heard of LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics, or visited one of their stores, you are missing out. Their products are Fresh and Handmade...duh. The stores smell amazing because most of the products are just piled on trays and plates, unpackaged. You can pick up and try anything in the store, just ask a sales associate. They will be happy to throw a Bath Bomb into a giant bucket of water so you can see how it fizzes. On a recent trip to my local mall I made a stop in this store to have a look around. After our bathroom remodel, I wanted to try out our new tub and wanted some accoutrements. I left with a few seasonal bath bombs shaped like bunnies for my daughters ( Hoppity Poppity ). A Big Blue Bath Bomb , a Honey Bee Bath Bomb , a Sakura Bath Bomb , a French Kiss Bubble Bar , and two Massage bars ( Yes Yes Yes  and Dirty ). My girls loved the Hoppity Poppi
