The Undomestic Goddess (Fireside Book Review)
January 17, 2007
My bookshelf is growing and growing! So many great books to read and so little time! That’s why I’m thrilled to report I finally found some time to get back to my new favorite author, Sophie Kinsella. I took a little break from the “Shopaholic” series and read The Undomestic Goddess, which my friend passed onto me a couple of months ago.
Kinsella creates the most real and adorable characters! The Undomestic Goddess is about Samantha Sweeting, a workaholic attorney, who escapes her big city life and legal career after making what she believes is an unforgivable mistake. She “escapes” to a beautiful home in the country where she is mistaken for a housekeeping interviewee. By the next morning she finds herself wearing a uniform and curtseying to her employer!
Samantha’s hilarious struggle to “domesticate” herself is very entertaining. But, the real heart of this story is Samantha’s discovery of what it is like to really have a life. And yes, life as a housekeeper ends up being a dream compared to life as an attorney!
The book has it all, suspense, humor, romance and more. Let us know what you think if you check it out.

Mommys Have Time for Makeup Too!
January 12, 2007
As you know, I love to share my favorite things with my SharpMoms. And,as SharpMom.com continues to grow, people are now even sending me stuff to try out (I feel like Oprah!). But, as I tell everyone,I have to keep it real. So, I personally try or check out everything I receive and/or hear about and only pass the best onto you!
Today, we’re talking about my latest discovery, Mommy Makeup, “designed for chic Moms on-the-go!” Mommy Makeup is a makeup kit that allows you to do your entire face with only a few products. And, for those moms that really need help, the kit even comes with a “Paint by Number Instructions & Face Chart.” It’s really fool proof!
Each kit comes in a range of five shades, from light to dark. And, my favorite part is you can choose from a Pretty-n-Polished or a Clean-n-Casual look. I tried both kits in the “Light Medium” color family. I personally preferred Pretty-n-Polished. I get fair in the winter and I need some extra color. The Clean-n-Casual kit gave me a nice glow, but it wasn’t quite enough for me. Read more
