Last weekend, I was honored to meet Pierre Dulaine, four-time ballroom dancing world champion. Pierre’s passion is creating “Dancing Classrooms” in public schools, where troubled youth learn to overcome hostility and insecurity through dance. This was the theme of the film, Take the Lead, with Antonio Banderas portraying Pierre. Together with Pierre, I attended the Northwest premiere of another film …
Last Thursday, I took a trip down Memory Lane and relived winning the Royal Reel Award…but I left out the Beauty SOS that made a big difference. I entered the festivities exhausted from work, and facing a frantic schedule that I wanted to be fun. The night before it began, I checked into my hotel and checked out the dark …
I’m referring to my dare devil brother. Sisters have certain bragging rights, so here I go… Clay is one of the best rock climbers, doing vertical nerve-numbing routes, testing climbing and skiing equipment for manufacturers, doing rigging for shows, and being showcased in premiere climbing magazines! Last year he was on the cover of this issue. Yes, that’s my brother …
This 1. STATE jacket has been flying off the shelves. I chose fireworks as the background to these pics in celebration of the company’s grand opening. This jacket creates a versatile look. For warmer weather, just unzip the sleeves. I paired mine with 1. STATE’s contrasting long cotton top and pleated shorts. Each of these items is so versatile that …
I wish! Actually, it’s the one-year anniversary of when the Canada International Film Festival awarded me the Royal Reel Award for my short film But I Do. That trip was when my love for Canada began! Shortly after winning the award, I was a guest on a national Canadian show produced by Shaw TV… and got to dish about men …
Most women go on a shopping spree to buy the threads they need for a special event, but Rent the Runway offers another approach…and it’s catapulted them to success. The season of proms, college formals, and spring business soirées is upon us. Instead of popping hundreds or thousands for a gown that could be deemed passé if worn twice, you …
The song I chose for this video describes Tricia, the stunning Bobbi Brown makeup artist. Here she shows how to get false eyelashes to dry quickly by using a very high tech cosmetic fan. Just joking! Her secret weapon is merely paper. Watch and see this and the result of her work on me… https://instagram.com/p/nGlFLrCfD7/
Longing for more love in your life? I’ve got a tip backed by research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. If you show support for your amour when something good happens to him that will increase his trust, contentment, and emotional intimacy, and cause him to believe that you will be there for him if something goes wrong. …
The calendar may claim that the first day of spring was March 20th, but in my mind it’s this Easter Sunday! I’ve sleuthed around for spring shopping finds. Two of my top picks are this Nordstrom coral hat paired with Chloé sunglasses. Now I’m ready for a long run of the sun! Happy Easter everyone!
I love this holiday and learning of different traditions. For me, it’s a quiet day to reflect, attend church, spend time with loved ones, and pass out treats to neighbors and anyone feeling alone. For others, it means spring, Easter outfits, and social events. I can appreciate that sentiment. If you fit the latter category, there is an abundance of …
…Infused with delicious! After wearing my “Piece of Cake” tee in my Meeting Men Monday Pillow Talk video, I got the urge to bake a cake for an Easter party. My cousin Tina, the Cake Queen, gave me tips. Tina says using a box cake mix is nothing to be ashamed of. But you need an excellent one. Her favorite …
I’m talking about Laila, the scent created by Geir Ness, Norway’s perfume genius. Laila was #1 in a test of which scents men found most attractive on women! It’s sold today because some powerful men asked for it. Geir spent almost five years creating Laila and named it after his mother. He secretly imprinted a copy of her signature on …
The lovable girl featured in my video is in a love dilemma…
Okay Swifties, I’ve got the lowdown on Taylor’s Keds Collection after attending her Nordstrom showcase. Items were brought in especially for the party! And this really was a party, complete with Taylor’s music blasting over speakers…which naturally led to impromptu dancing. One of my top picks is this striped cutie that goes with a wide array of casual wear. The …
That sums up a major reason why I love spring! Seattle’s Pike Place Market is a favorite. And Kate Spade is sundress paradise. So I combined the Market and this floral confection. Pike Place, the longest running farmer’s market in the USA, was founded in 1927. Unique stalls, shops and restaurants cover three floors and the other side of the …
