Giuliana Rancic announces Breast Cancer




I'm not big on celebrity news or gossip but I was just sitting here watching the Today Show and  just saw Giuliana Rancic announce she has breast cancer. I was instantly empathetic to her emotions when you're told you have a "something" showing up in your mammogram.  It was about  5 years ago when a routine exam for me led to the discovery of a mass.  For me it turned out to be nothing, but because at that time I didn't have health insurance, it took almost 3 months to get the necessary follow-ups to find out. All those programs for breast cancer treatment and help, only applied to women over 35 or 40, and at that time I was 28. I hope those limitations have changed, and I hope she's going to be alright as well! The 36 yr. old reality star talks about how she will continue invitro treatments as well

I've been Robbed!

Well, while I've  been  contemplating my next move professionally, the universe came through on what is finally, my FINAL move with my home life. My husband has finally gotten his dream position which happens to move us only about an hour and a half from family and friends.   Last week while hosting a very Fun and Fabulous Ladies night at my boutique The Little Blaque Dress in St. Louis, I received a call from the husband. As I was yet again listening to my Watch the Throne CD  it only took him uttering  two words that  changed my life.
