YIPPEE! Another AWARD!! 2007-10-13 09:30:00 I have received an award from Corey Irwin at Music Unbound, a fantastic blog all about music without any borders, distinctions or necessary connections. Highly recommend. The award...drumroll please...is of the Best Kept Secret Award. I am so pleased and hope to become less of a secret and more of a known by the fabulous distinction. "We all have a Best Kept Secret blogger or two we visit regularly — a blogger with great style and wit and warmth who hasn’t been discovered yet. Here’s our chance with this award to say, ‘Wow. Check out this blogger!’"To not hold the joy/accolades too long, I would like to pass along the award to a group of other great bloggers, who if not already receiving fame and fortune, SHOULD.

Clothing Tip #3: Undies, Take 2
What to do when your favorite items are discontinued?! We all have had this experience. Missladybug discusses her favorite kind of BarelyThere undies, which were recently discontinued, & launches her own plan of attack to find said undies, or their nearest possible "replacement." Witness underwear madness & mayhem, spiced with a sense of humor.

Beauty Tip #4: Cowabunga, a suncreen I actually will use 2007-10-12 18:12:00 Oddly, as I am living in the Northeast and just getting used to the onset of fall, I have just come across the most delightful discovery...the perfect sunscreen for one's countenance. I am a writer/editor, so I am always finding odd words that come to mind, so by countenance, I mean your gorgeous face. I was off for a walk (yes, for those have read my post about walking, I do follow my own advice!) and realized that the rays were pelting down on my pale skin. As I am acutely aware of the ozone thinning and the need to protect oneself, I went searching for an appropriate cream to slather on. As I'm home, my very hip mother showed me a new product she picked up. So, hence, my latest fab discovery: Glymed Plus Cell Science Proto-Age Protection Cream 30+. Geez, could this be any longer. So, on to the product. I have immense lurking guilt about not wearing sunscreen. From billboards, commercials, and magazines, and the evil, pore-obsessed, confidence-crushing makeup ladies, I am acutely a Read more:Beauty

Clothing Tip #3: Undies, Take 2 2007-10-10 17:14:00 I hate when this happens. You find a product you adore and it becomes toast. Discontinued, no longer felt worthy of production. Alas, one of my previous posts, referring to the glorious Barely There undies, model # 2370 has become part of that stack of items never to be found again. So, in my infinite insanity spawned by my fear of never finding the perfect pair again, I emailed the company. I have PLENTY to do in my day, but I took a small hiatus to reach out to the Undie gods. It is nice to know that you can fearlessly mourn something as seemingly silly as this to someone. So, here's the response: --------Dear Ms. Cooper,Thank you for contacting BARELYTHERE. We are always delighted when Consumers take time out of their schedule to share their comments and welcome the opportunity to address inquiries regarding our products. We regret our company is no longer manufacturing the item you referred to. Consumer response to this particular item did not justify its continued sale. Please Read more:Clothing

MOVING!! 2007-10-19 08:08:00 Hi everyone, Just a quick and IMPORTANT note that I am making the switch to Wordpress. It's a slow process as I'm not as computer savvy as I'd like. So, there are some features that I'm trying to translate over to the new page. Also, expect a lot of cosmetic changes for the good, but at first it may not be as tricked out as I'd like, mainly due to my slow-moving, flattened learning curve. So, if you are already typing in www.ladybugandco.com, you will be directly forwarded to Wordpress. However, if you type in www.ladybugandco.blogspot.com, you will still come here. Thanks for following along...

Health Tip #4: 7 Tips on How to Dig Yourself out of an Emotional Pothole 2007-10-17 13:35:00 Speaking from experience, tough things rarely happen in isolation. I find that I am tested with not one challenge, but several at the same time. Much can be learned from these periods of time, so I'd like to share with you what I've gathered.1. Go by feel.Do what feels good. Not what feels good at the time and will create sadness or guilt later, like swallowing an entire chocolate cake or watching 10 back-to-back movies. If you are honest with yourself, you'll know what I mean as this is different for everyone. And, avoid what feels bad. Perhaps you bump into a person in the grocery store. By their mere conversation, you get "down" and feel uncomfortable by their questions. Perhaps you are not ready to talk about matters, and feel negativity emanating from them. Perhaps you can't even figure out why, but you begin to feel better as you walk away from this person. Perhaps walking through a store brings back sad reminders. Avoid the store until you can handle it.2. Good can come out Read more:Health
