Okay, all you dancing darlings, it’s time to get our groove on! Here, I’m breaking down the steps to Fifth Harmony’s, Worth It. The other day, I heard a guy say, “The sexiest quality in a woman is confidence without conceit.” In Fifth Harmony’s video and performances, they strut their stuff while belting out the lyrics with a carefree appeal. …
I snapped this picture with my phone while relaxing on my beach chair in Cabo; it’s paradise in one click:) Here is a variety of touching/adorable/funny comments from couples around town: “I’ve been with my husband for thirty years and each day I fall more deeply in love with him.” “Bars were invented for men to wait in while their wives …
Hello my dears, it’s official. I’m off to Cabo! And I can’t wait to get the adventures started. I’ve been there before and recall what lively groups that town draws in. People were partying on the plane well before we reached Baja:) I’ll definitely keep you posted on my trip, but meanwhile I want to share an email from a …
According to popular teen romance author Sally Brandle, “A good romance should validate that none of us are perfect. It isn’t easy to find the right partner.” When I was young, a close family friend, who was like a second father to me, once said, “No one is perfect. When you do settle down with someone, make sure you can …
Seeing someone you love go through a tough time is so hard. But sometimes it’s even harder to know what to do to help. I recently received an email from a reader who asked for suggestions to help a friend recover from the loss of a companion. She said that the more suggestions she presents, the sadder he becomes. I …
There is something about homemade cards that makes the sentiment written inside them extra special. I had the most charming evening filled with great company, dancing, roses… …and these sweet origami hearts with custom messages. The handmade touch made the night that much more memorable. So for Meeting Men Monday I’ve decided to present a DIY romantic card tutorial. Anyone can make …
We’ve said goodbye to Valentine’s Day, but we don’t have to say goodbye to the feelings we had on that holiday and the way we expressed them. I believe that love isn’t merely a word to be used in a moment of appreciation or passion. It’s an ongoing desire to be with – and there for – someone. And since …
A male reader sent me this love question: “I know people have different opinions on Valentine’s Day, but I think it’s the holiday when men should treat their Valentines and the women should just get to enjoy themselves. I want to do something really special for my fiancé. What makes a woman feel loved on this day?” For the response …
We love you, Seahawks. Last year in honor of my team making it to the Super Bowl, I created a dance video that was a spin on the Legion of Boom, called the Triplets of Boom. And since our boys did it again, the Triplets are back to cheer them on! It’s Meeting Men Monday, and you all know what …
Valentine’s Day is now less than a month away. Is someone maybe getting a little prematurely excited?! Wouldn’t be the first time. In honor of this upcoming holiday, I found some romance research that will make you lovebirds with a lack of cooking ability happy. And I definitely fall into that category. Unless you consider smoothie making cooking;) I can …
For all you ladies who have loved Grant – the businessman I featured last week who unwinds as a stand-up comic – he’s back again by popular demand. Before we get into the interview, I just want to say I enjoy hearing from all you girls and reading your relationship questions. I figure it’s best to go straight to the male …
Meeting Men style…. There was no doubt that my friend Grant had the trifecta of great traits going for him…fun, witty and hot. So once I learned that he did stand-up comedy, I just had to collaborate on a skit. I had a concept for a vignette depicting a calamity of gym errors. I knew everyone would be working out …
If you’ve never seen Pacific Northwest Ballet’s (“PNB”) famous Nutcracker, now is the time. This Seattle tradition – choreographed 31 years ago by the Company’s then artistic director Kent Stowell with vibrant sets by esteemed children’s author Maurice Sendak (“Where the Wild Things Are”) – will be retired when the final curtain comes down. The production is close to my …
With this DIY holiday hairpiece, you are always under the mistletoe! After blogging about the origins of the kissing plant last Meeting Men Monday, I couldn’t help stopping by the nursery for some fresh mistletoe full of berries. Then I put three short sprigs in my hair with bobby pins. I edged the look with three little decorative red bows …
