Even worse, they often begin to expect that everyone who plays against them will also lose. When this happy state of affairs doesn't come about too often, the little face... Continue Reading →

Our Inner Diva
We come across articles online or in the papers about the divaesque behavior of the celebs. But what about the diva that lives within us all? The one who is temperamental? Volatile even and turns away in a huff? The one who turns up their nose at some transgression-imagined or otherwise. I am very closely... Continue Reading →
Coffee Is The New Glue
