It’s hard to believe, but Women’s History Month is only 24 years old. It wasn’t until 1987 that Congress declared March as National Women’s History Month in perpetuity. This act was the culmination of efforts by many to gain official recognition for the contributions of women to United States history.
Dear Tamara:
My fiancé has asked me to move in with him. We have been together for three years and engaged for almost a year now. We have not yet set a wedding date because we each have another year of school left and we both want to wait until we graduate college before getting married. In a way it makes perfect sense that we move in together.

”Why can’t I get a job?” “Why am I always so broke?” “Why can’t I lose weight?” These seemingly valid questions can wreak havoc on your life and your success.

”THE FIGHTER”: Mark Wahlberg shepherded this superb drama through the production process for years, but ironically, he was the only major cast principal not to score an Oscar nomination for the true story of Boston boxer-against-the-odds Micky Ward.

Russell not only draws superb performances from all of them, he also generates an indelible sense of the tale’s setting. DVD extras: “making-of” documentary; audio commentary by Russell. **** (R: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray)

Typically when I see someone doing accessories wrong it’s either one or two things. Either the person is under accessorized or they’re over accessorized. I am a big fan of accessories because if done right, they can really amp up your outfit. Now you may be wondering why accessories are so important.
