Of course, we all know that shopping sales can be an exercise in patience. It’s often difficult to find the items you…
I recently met a jeweler here in SoCal, Single Stone on Mission Street, which has come at the perfect time. Now that I’m well into my thirties, I’m less interested in experimenting with the latest trends. Instead, I’m investing in classic clothing items and expressing my fashion sense through my accessories. These days, whenever I have a little cash to spend, I find…

MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 7 “Then The Lake Froze” Courtesy of International Bird Rescue & Research Living in Washington State at sea level, we rarely see snow and ice, if ever. You have to go far into the mountains for that, and even then, we don’t have the best snow in the…
Image Courtesy of eHow.com When Exactly Did We Start to Hate Our Bodies…? I can precisely pin-point the moment when I started to hate my body. I was twelve years old and my dad was a professor at UNLV, Las Vegas, Nevada. I hadn’t thought much about my appearance until the summer I would turn…
I know there are tons of sites doing recaps of this year’s Golden Globe outfits, so I thought I’d pick two to really focus on: one that knocked it out of the park, and one who really fell short.
