Hallmark’s recordable storybooks are absolutely incredible!  My newest favorite – All the Ways I Love You – is a book that I recorded for my son William.  I actually had to record it 3 times because I kept crying as I began it… this is why it’s so special to me… I will treasure this book forever because if why [...]

As much as I was excited about going to the Emmy Awards and seeing all the stars and all the Hollywood glamour… I was just as excited about getting ready for the Emmy Awards! Last year at BlogHer, I missed the chance to have Luke O’Connor work his magic on my hair.  After seeing so many of my friends get [...]

Exactly one year ago, I was wrapping up an e.l.f. Makeup At Home party that Audrey and I hosted at our parents’ house. I had spent the previous week in NYC, going on job interviews as I prepared to move there. A few weeks prior, I had met a guy named Brian at a runners’ club and we had done [...]

I landed in L.A. without a dress to wear for the Emmys. Seriously. (OK, I did bring a back-up dress, the one I wore at my Getting Gorgeous event 3 weeks ago, but I didn’t want to wear something I had just worn; not to mention, it wasn’t “fancy” enough for the Emmys!) I don’t know what I was actually [...]

Suave gave me the opportunity of a lifetime… head to LA, interview Sofia Vergara and attend the Emmys. OK. Absolutely. When do I leave? As I mentioned yesterday, Sofia worked with Suave Professionals and allowed her fans to vote for her Emmy hair style. Sofia would have looked stunning heading to the Emmys with a ponytail, jeans and a tee… [...]

Suave Professionals products and Suave Professionals Stylist Jenny Cho will be creating the incredible and talented Sofia Vergara’s red-carpet hair style tonight for the Emmys. America has been able to vote for which hair style they like the best for Sofia… the voting has ended [...]

One thing every woman needs to have in her emergency fashion arsenal is Tip Toes! Stick them right on the front of your shoes, below your toes! I love that they’re flower shaped so cute and chic. Why Tip Toes? Well… here’s my top 5 reasons: 1. Your feet will not slide forward in your heels any longer. 2. They [...]

During my 30 years of teaching English & Reading, I stumbled upon some rather unique and I dare say ingenious Cheat Sheets (not that I ever condoned this practice, but kudos for originality).  I always told the would-be “cheater” that it would have taken less time to study than to develop the Cheat Sheet scheme. So how do I now [...]

If you were at our Getting Gorgeous Event in NYC on August 6th, you had the pleasure of meeting the amazing Sarah Potempa! Sarah is a celebrity hair stylist who has worked with celebs like Tiny Fey, Julianne Moore, Anne Hathaway, Brooke Shields, Faith Hill, Patrick Dempsey, Ryan Reynolds and so many, many more! She truly is incredible at hair [...]

Back-to-School Shopping.  Oh, my… the time has come too fast!  My William starts kindergarten next Wednesday, September 1st.  I’m very emotional about the whole thing, my first child entering school.  The piece that I love knowing is that he’s going to a great school, with wonderful teachers and filled with lots of kids that he already knows.  But still, my [...]
