Everywhere I look, I spy people doing their holiday shopping—whether they’re dashing down the street on a lunch break or hitting the mall in the evening. In my dad’s mind, no matter where he is, holiday shopping involves heading straight for the candy store. Mom wanted him to try on some new clothes for events they’re attending. On his list …
With holiday decorations emerging, parades gracing city streets, and carolers starting their serenades, it’s no secret that the magical season is here! For me, one of the highlights of the Thanksgiving weekend was seeing beautifully-decorated trees about to be auctioned off for Children’s Hospital… …and another was shopping. I had so much fun joining the happy crowds converging on Main …

As the official day of gratitude draws near, I share the sentiment of Henry David Thoreau, “I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.” Top by Current/Elliott from Nordstrom.
With Thanksgiving approaching, I’ve been thinking about all the things I’m thankful for. One of them is, of course, all of you and the other is those who have so graciously jumped in to help me with this blog. Since it is what I call “homegrown,” my “photographers” are always those close to me who so graciously offer to take …

I wonder how many couples have passed over this bridge. Before I started dating Tom, we went on a walk and magically happened upon this romantic spot. So for my photo shoot in this Alice + Olivia dress, I went straight to the Love Bridge. What’s your favorite romantic spot?
Her newest music video, Focus, is too fun not to dance to. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial so you can learn her moves. But be careful…when you do them to her tune at a club or party, the focus in the room will probably be on you. In this how-to video, I teach the choreography from 2:16-2:28 and 2:59-3:08 in Ariana’s …
This is one of my favorite holidays. When I was little I’d start choosing my costume months in advance. I was the first to start trick-or-treating and the last to be hauled in. As you can see, I’m a devoted Halloween fanatic! I love everything about it from the decorations on my front door… …to the carved pumpkins. Here are …
Is romantic love really something a person can look for? Love is one of my favorite topics and so I like to read about it. But according to experts, finding love is a highly debated subject. Does love find you? Do you find it? Or, does love appear when you aren’t looking for it? I was thinking about all this …
This sassy singer is one of the most-requested when it comes to dance tutorials. So many of you have asked me to teach choreography from her music videos that when her latest one came out, I headed right to the studio and filmed it. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown.
At dinner, I was laughing with a friend about the mishaps that can occur when a girl is in a rush. I recalled an evening when I had to leave a business dinner and go directly to a party. While waiting on the sidewalk for my ride, I leaned in to use the window of what I thought was a …
Do you want to break a sweat, or what?! Here, I’m giving a step-by-step dance tutorial to the choreography from Becky G’s latest music video, Break a Sweat. I’ve been receiving so many dance-tutorial requests lately, and I love it!
Makeup mavens, here’s a tutorial for Lauren Jauregui’s smudged cat-eye look in the Fifth Harmony music video, I’m In Love With a Monster. After posting my dance tutorial to this song https://youtu.be/ZML3Fkhd9nQ, I received the following request: “Guys can be such monsters sometimes!! It’s like they drive us crazy, but we still gotta have em!! I think KCC should do …
These pictures were taken as the fall leaves began turning while the summer weather lingered. I agree with William Cullen Bryant that autumn is “the year’s last, loveliest smile.” Somehow my camera has a creative mind of its own, as you can see from this change in colors. I didn’t even alter any of the settings. We could say this …
