Nordstrom’s Makeup Event
Today was what I like to refer as “Crazy Makeover Day” over at Nordstrom’s at the Mall of America. Every counter in the store was giving free makeovers. This of course is an obvious promotional tool, but I also noticed that the bosses of the makeup artist’s were assessing their work as they made-up the hordes of women looking for a free look. So maybe they use it as a “testing day” for their artists too (?). A friend of mine, and yours truly, had 1:30pm appointments with the lovely Laura Mercier ladies. Laura Mercier is some uber-expensive, celebrity-loved makeup, founded by Miss Laura Mercier about 10 years ago. Her makeup is known…

“Oracle” aka Batgirl
Did you know that DC Comics had their character, Batgirl (Batman’s daughter, Barbara Gordon), become paralyzed after being shot by her arch-enemy, The Joker, who then changed her identity to “Oracle”…a sexy paraplegic, computer genius, who ran her team of able-bodied ass-kicking proteges from her home in Gotham’s Clocktower? And the coolest part? WB had a show based on “Oracle” called Birds of Prey, that was on from 2002 – 2003. “Oracle” was played by Dina Meyers; a red headed, blue-eyed, future-esque using wheelchair phenom…this sexy, main character WITH a disability was and still is a big deal to have ever made it to network television. A powerful and SEXY woman in a wheelchair?! Usually VERY taboo…. …

What Do You Appreciate More…Now?
How has your disability influenced you in such a way, that you appreciate certain things more than “everyone else?” It’s funny. For me – over all these crazy years of having a SCI – “The Little Things Tiff Appreciates” list has grown exponentially. Here are mine: – A hot cup of coffee WITH creamer (ok, maybe everyone loves this one, but it had to be said). – Sunshine. Even those blessed 30 seconds when the clouds shift, and the sun shines on my face for a moment in time, as I drive down the freeway and like magic, I warm up, can be orgasmic. – “Fresh scent” oil candles by…

The Perfect Convertible Summer Dress
This is not a dress, ladies. It may look like it is, but it’s actually a two-piece halter top/skirt combo. This is the perfect garment for a 24/7 sitting-down fashion diva: No bunching at the waist, and even better, it’s MUCH easier to put on (have you tried putting on a dress lately w/o being able to stand? Horrendous!). I also bought a pair of black “shaper” cotton yoga pants from this site with extremely long inseams (36″), and was very pleased. You can buy this sassy black and white number for $69.99 from Long Elegant Legs. – Tiff

Since When Did Touch Lamps Go Out of Style?
There’s something about touch lamps that makes this C6 quad a happy girl. I mean, all you gotta do is touch them – ANYWHERE – and then voila! “…and then there was light!” Anyways, I went and bought myself a very cool modern touch lamp from IKEA last week (it’s in my living room next to my couch), and it’s increased my happiness level by at least 50% (for now…of course being human, that’ll eventually change). It even has a dimmer “switch” (which really isn’t a switch; you just hold your hand up against it for a few seconds and it’ll start dimming). What I bought: IKEA Stockholm table lamp…

95% Worth Your Time
Oxygen+ is like an oxygen bar that’s with you wherever you go. And with the shitty air that we all usually breath day in and day out, getting some deep breathes of PERFECT oxygen can really do wonders for your health. I’m a huge proponent of oxygen bars (I particularly love Oxynate at the Mall of America. $20 gets you a massage chair treatment with a soothing sounds headset, flavored oxygen, a head massage, and a shot of something way stronger than Red Bull). Some hot guy gave me a sample of Oxygen+ in the skyway last week (in peppermint flavor), and I’ve been huffing and puffing it daily ever since (you get…

What’s In Your Shower?
I thought it’d be interesting to survey you gals/guys, and see what kinds of products you keep in your shower. An insight, if you will, into your BRAIN! My shower accouterments: – Bead Head Dumb Blonde shampoo and conditioner – Aveda Blue Malva conditioner (I use it once/week to keep my bleached hair from getting brassy. Amazing stuff. Just don’t use it every day or it WILL turn your hair blue) – Dove Go Fresh Body Wash in Lemongrass & Grapefruit scent (I love anything with a citrus scent…mmmm) – Skintimate Raspberry Rain shave gel (Gotta love this crazy foam) – Gillette Venus Shaver (No, I don’t think I’m a goddess. Hate their tagline, love…
