About Catherine
Far from perfect, but enjoying life as a non-perfect and flawed individual at 60 years young. I'm still wondering what I'll be when I grow up!
The characters in my life's screenplay include my better half.
He is a refined Frenchman who grew up in Paris and summered in St. Tropez.
I grew up in Long Island and summered in Long Island.
I am not refined.
My three grown children are also a big part of my life.
For their sake, they happily live where their careers have taken them! But I can still mother them from a distance!
I write about the mundane. I write about deeply shallow issues. But whatever I write or muse about--it'll always be a bit on the humorous and positive side!
It's all good!

In another month Bonaparte and I will be back in France. This time it’ll be different because we won’t be in Paris. Since Daniele’s passing, Bonaparte finds it very difficult to return. I can’t blame him. I had another good … Continue reading →

A few posts back, I wrote about the StriVectin sample I received at the High End Department Store where I work. Well, over two weeks later I’m still using it, and, as promised, I’m reviewing. StriVectin is a cream that … Continue reading →

I’m still in pain from the mad rush of last minute Mother’s Day shoppers yesterday in the land of Retail Hell. My once-perfect, narrow feet—now growing bunions, are screaming and barking and not happy with the swelling that comes from … Continue reading →

Hey! It’s May! Many of us will now be making plans for vacation. Here’s a few pointers. Quite honestly, I feel like a lazy slob for reblogging this, but I”m going to work today, Saturday, and will be retailing all … Continue reading →

Summer is fast approaching. And with the warmer weather comes that lighter wardrobe. I’m a fan of simple, easy, non-complicated clothing during these warm months. Simple shifts, maxi dresses, white jeans and a fitted Tee are the perfect choices. And … Continue reading →

Audrey Hepburn thought Paris was always a good idea. It is—no doubt about it. Oh Audrey. You little Coquette you. Paris IS a good idea but sometimes…… New York City is always a good idea too. And that’s where Bonaparte … Continue reading →

Yesterday was my “Take-care-of-me” day. My roots were soaking up jet black dye. I am not part of the grey/gray/white/silver movement. Black Roots Matter is my hair color mantra. And now you know why it is far better for me to get … Continue reading →
