I became attached to Bobbi Brown cosmetics before I had my first boyfriend, went to my first prom, or even entered high school.

Recently, I went salsa dancing for the third time and it was mega fun. For those of you who’ve never been to a salsa club, it’s much different than a regular club. Everything is partner-based, and people constantly switch partners as guys ask girls to dance. Bold women do blaze the trail and ask men, but it’s more common the …

Intricate detailing is another Derhy trademark. I bought …
When I read about these adorable cohorts in The Wall Street Journal, I just had to post about them. They prove that natural enemies can become the best of friends. These three were rescued from an Atlanta basement years ago and now reside at Noah’s Ark, an animal sanctuary in Locust Grove, Georgia. No one thought that ferocious carnivores, like …
Some people think that only mega stars with their armies of stylists can be mega beautiful. But I say, not so! Anyone with a positive outlook and a healthy lifestyle is radiant.

…for a successful, loving relationship. Sure there are unions built on one-way love, but at some point the person putting in the effort wakes up to reality and feels lovelorn. Dr. Sue Johnson, a psychologist and couples therapist, uses biology, neuroscience, and clinical psychology to present a strong case for this hypothesis in her book, Love Sense: the Revolutionary New …
Okay Fashion Friends, a while back I stopped counting the amount of Milly dresses I’ve worn on this site. Can that fashionista help it if her creations are so covetous?! What I adore most about Milly is that her dresses are timeless. I had this find rung up about five years ago at a designer super-sale and the style is …
I just emailed Steve, director of the Toronto Independent Film Festival, famously known as “a headline event for micro and no-budget films” running in tandem with TIFF. We became friends when I attended the festivals last year. I passed on my wish to clone myself so I could cover my responsibilities state-side and still hop a plane to Toronto 2014:) …
I’m ignoring the fact that this morning I detected a hint of gloomy skies. I’m making the most of every last ray of summer sunshine! Before the summer flowers began to fade, I got to attend a garden party for everyone who volunteered at the Pacific Northwest Flower & Garden Show. I’ve been fascinated by flowers ever since I can …
Whenever someone says, “Elizabeth Taylor,” beautiful is one of the first adjectives that come to mind. Just the way she walked exuded feminine allure. So for this Beauty Trend Tuesday, I couldn’t think of a better person to focus on. And even though she’s no longer among us, her sentiments have stayed. As Elizabeth once admitted, “I never face the …
Last weekend, I celebrated this stunning woman’s marriage. And today, for Meeting Men Monday, I’m sharing her love advice. Molly’s family and mine have been close friends since I was two-years-old. As you can see, she was like a big sister to me. She even taught me the importance of cookies as a pre-bed snack:) Well, after more than twenty-five …
What happens when Nordstrom unites style with charity? Treasure&Bond! This trendy line, which just launched in 87 stores and online, shares its profits with organizations dedicated to empowering women. I attended the debut and found that one of the hottest spots in the TBD department was the dressing room—where I got to try on the designs. The hard part? Narrowing …
Whenever I see celebs dressed in their red carpet best for awards ceremonies, I want to mimic them. But – flash to reality – I don’t have a stylist, a stash of designer gowns, and a calendar full of black tie events. So this time when I watched the stars pose for the paparazzi, I decided to take the hottest …
I was feeling like a little end-of-summer change. Last weekend, I went dancing and one of the girls at the club had an adorable short haircut with a luxurious cascade of layers.
