It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
When the temperature drops my nails dry out so quickly that it is all I can do to keep them from splitting and chipping. And with dry cracked nails come dry cracked cuticles that bleed and hurt and look awful. I have tried all sorts of creams and lotions and fancy oils but nothing seemed…

There was a mix up with my neighbor’s mail this weekend, and the postman delivered the Barbie Collector Holiday 2010 catalogue to my house. My daughters are in their teens, so I have been out of Barbie mode for a long time, but I have to say that I was shocked at the evolution of…
It seems like every fashion magazine out there has been hyping Military Chic as the hot trend for Fall. From jackets to boots to utility belts, olive green and camo prints are everywhere. At least in the magazines. Even the current issue of Us Weekly has 3 full pages of military style, and giving credit…

Gisele Bundchen was recently interviewed by Harper’s Bazaar where she suggested that breastfeeding become a mandatory, “worldwide law.” Unless you live under a rock, I’m sure you already heard about this… Her comments have apparently sparked a massive outcry against the supermodel mom. For what reason? I can’t really figure it out. Maybe it’s because…
When I had the opportunity to interview $100 Makeover’s Leslie Segrete, I immediately asked her about a topic that’s been on my mind lately: everyday elegance. Whether it’s true or not, I have the impression that my grandmother used to entertain in refined style on a regular basis. I have visions of her serving hors…
I’m originally from Alabama, and my home state’s gorgeous Gulf coast is precious to me. Even now that I live a short distance from the dramatically beautiful beaches of Malibu, I still prefer the soft dunes and clear, warm water of the Gulf. (No offense, Malibu, but those sugar-white sands stole my heart years ago.) A few…
When my husband and I agreed that for the month of May we’d spend no more than $100 each week on all of our food and beverages, I had no idea how it would turn out. This kind of budgeting was totally new for us, and I had no idea if it was realistic here in pricey…
MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 15 “Prince, How Did We Fail You?” Well, I would like to say that the Senate Committee killed bill #6625 because of my comment about Larry David and the lone Ninja swan attack. But, that would be far too simple an explanation. There were much larger entities at…

Well, it looks like I’ve been proven wrong, because you can get great coverage from the sun without hard chemicals…
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love to trade recipes with my friends but what makes us more excited than anything else, is getting a good deal. In the past, I had been too lazy to search for deals but now it’s a social activity and a fun one at that! A handful of…
Jasmere.com is trying something new and different (as well as positively amazing, if you ask me!) for today’s deal starting at 12pm EST. What are they doing?
