Some of my fondest childhood memories are of watching my beautiful and stylish mother get dressed to go out with my father. I would stare at her while she applied her make-up, and, usually, she would put a little lipstick on me. I think that’s when my love of beauty products was born. This month, [...]

As most of us do who live along the Grand Strand, I love the beach. Growing up in Charlotte, N.C., my family visited various North and South Carolina beaches several times a year, and my parents finally moved our family here in the ’70s. Photos taken on one beach or another fill my albums and [...]

I have two weddings to attend this month – on consecutive days, so I’m going to be really busy having fun that weekend! Both couples are so much in love; it will be a joy to see them unite. But, as usual, I can not decide what to wear. The first wedding is at 5 [...]

Like most mothers, I think my children are the best things I’ve ever done – hands down. My daughter, now an adult and living her own life, is a lovely young woman whom I adore. She’s smart and happy and doing fabulously well – a job well done in my opinion. My son is also [...]

I have too many houseplants. They are so much fun, and never look as big, or as numerous, in their summer, outside home under my live oak tree in the back yard. I never realize my lack of good judgment until I actually bring them in my tiny little house. Right now, you have to [...]

I received this link in an e-mail recently, www.globalrichlist.com. You enter your income, and it tells you where you rank, richest to poorest, in the world’s population. I was shocked to find out I am in the top three percent! And, I am definitely not wealthy by any of the standards I’ve used to measure [...]

Nearly all of the Sasee women I know love to dress up in a truly beautiful, flattering outfit, with just the right accessories, including, of course, the perfect pair of shoes, and go out for a special evening of celebration. It’s one of our favorite things about the holidays. Then, after New Year’s Eve, it’s [...]

Good manners are something most of us are taught as small children to help us navigate not just social situations, but day-to-day living. Even today, I can hear my mother’s voice telling me not to gossip or speak negatively of others – not that I’ve always heeded her advice. Recently, my friend Daphne told me [...]

Several years ago I was out to dinner with a group of my girlfriends. We were all dressed in our cute summer clothes, and, all of a sudden, I noticed something that every single one of them had that I didn’t – cleavage! Flat as a pancake my entire life, that night started me thinking [...]

I grew up (like many of you, I’m sure) taking piano lessons every week and practicing nearly every day, not so much because I wanted to, but because my mother made it a priority. I banged my way through Bach, Beethoven and Chopin, perfecting that one special piece for the annual recital. I don’t play [...]
