Sunday was  Mother’s Day.  Regardless of how you define the relationship with your mother, it is an indelible bond, part of your DNA.  I loved my mother, fiercely, depended upon her support, and listened to most of her advice.

This week’s Intimate Discovery: Two capital boutiques cater to quality
I usually don’t get an opportunity to visit lingerie shops located outside the NY metropolitan area. What a treat it was, then, to stop by two very unique, very different and very well merchandised boutiques when I traveled to Maryland this week to visit my sister and do a little sightseeing in Washington D.C.  I was impressed at how well … Read More
