I think we all remember our first photograph. Although we likely stared in the mirror for a long time after we dressed or wore makeup in the early days, seeing a photograph is an entirely different experience. Sometimes the photos make your jaw drop as they capture a side of us we always wanted to … Continue reading Capturing Confidence

A Day at the Museum
Today the MN T-Girls had our monthly outing. It was a dreary, rainy Saturday and we spent the day at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts looking at beautiful artwork. We've been to this museum before and we've always had a wonderful time. If you haven't been, or planning on visiting Minneapolis, I highly recommend making … Continue reading A Day at the Museum
Love Your Dress!
I step out at least once a month, and almost every time I go out I am told by a cashier, a barista, another shopper, or someone simply passing by in the mall that they love my dress. These compliments have all been from women. This makes my day, obviously. Everyone loves a compliment and … Continue reading Love Your Dress!

National Lipstick Day!
I love these quasi-holidays, like Pink Day last month. Today is National Lipstick Day and I thought it'd be fun to learn about your favorite lipstick. I fell in love with MAC's Liptensity Lipstick recently, particularly the BRIGHT RED Mulling Spices shade. I pair it with their Kiss Me Quick lipliner for a really bold … Continue reading National Lipstick Day!

Thankfully tweets are not executive orders and according to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, General Joseph Dunford, "There will be no modifications to the current policy until the President's direction has been … Continue reading Transgender Ban in the Military
