These Pirates Told Tales

According to Variety, “ Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” exceeded $500 mil at the global box office in early June. In honor of this, I’m taking us back to the real pirates of the Pacific. They hid out in the Sea of Cortez, and stashed their treasures in the cave at Cabo. To them, this was …

Nostalgia is Never Out of Style

Say it isn’t so!!! Landmark Theaters has abruptly closed Seattle’s Seven Gables and Guild 45th. Both places have served up an eclectic mix of indie films, foreign imports, and avant-garde flicks, stirred together with new releases—since well before I was born. The photo above is of the Seven Gables, and the one above that is of me in the theater’s …

Who Has You Covered for Dress-Up Events?

That would be Ted Baker! What I love about this line is how Ted always has me covered, no matter what the occasion calls for…or the weather brings! Since moving to Wyoming, I have experienced the full spectrum of atmospheric conditions—from warm and sunny to cold and snowy. I’ve even learned that we can have a snowstorm in mid-May! So, …

Comic Con Craze

When I heard that Cheyenne was having a Comic Con, there was no way I wasn’t going to be there. Coming up with a costume was an easy choice. Since I’m a reporter for CBS News, April O’Neil was hands-down my top pick. I was fortunate to be assigned to cover these events. Some people didn’t realize that I was …

Dancing Through Cheyenne

The week I moved to Cheyenne, one of the first people I met was the mayor, Marian Orr. When I asked what she was most proud of about the city, she listed her favorites without hesitation. Prominent among them was Ballet Wyoming. Mayor Orr explained that we have talented artists running this company, and the dancers are chosen through a …

Historic Houses on the Move

My News Director and I had quite the adventure chasing moving houses! Three historic houses were being moved across town at a pretty slow speed. That is, until it was time for my live shot. Then, for that brief period, the pace picked up so fast that we were racing after the houses because we wanted them to be in …

It’s Spring!!?

Well, that’s what the calendar says, and I’m so ready for it. But in Cheyenne, Mother Nature hasn’t quite made up her mind, as you can see from these recent photos. Here I’m attending a sunny outdoor activity with delighted little ones: Afterwards, I went home and eagerly broke out my spring clothes that had been hibernating all winter. But …

Couture Conundrums & Exciting Announcement

It’s officially April, and we might be tempted to think that spring sunshine is here to stay. But don’t be deceived into believing that winter has gone on hiatus. I recently moved to Cheyenne for work. I love it here, but Mother Nature has a way of playing tricks on us. The sun can make a stunning appearance, followed by …

SheIn Fashion

When a girl wears something made by SheIn, she is always in! Here’s a little video that I put together wearing my new outfit. I got a kind of carried away having fun using effects while video editing! SheIn sent me these pieces to review and I loved them. They’re great for dancing. </p

Recreate Belle’s Makeup

Who’s excited to see the new production of Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson? That would be me! When I was little, I loved the Disney animated movie so much that I had Belle everything…Belle costumes, Belle notebooks, Belle hair ties. Today, I’m well past the days of carrying my peanut butter and jelly sandwich in my Belle lunchbox, …

Make Me Chic

Doesn’t that name make every style-savvy girl want to check out the company’s couture? I was especially drawn to this ballet-inspired silhouette. It’s flattering with a dash of alluring appeal. The material is so soft that slipping it on feels like wrapping up in a favorite, old, comfy robe…but the design is so elegant that you look like you’re dressed …

Relaxing Retreat

Salish Lodge in Washington state is my favorite spa…EVER. Mind you, I’ve only been to two spas in my life, but even if I had been to 2,000, it’s safe to say that Salish would be a favorite. The Lodge offers seasonal scrubs…like apple/honey, pictured on me below…along with massages and facials. Your treatment comes with an additional two luxurious …
