While there is never a good time for cold and flu season, at the very least it coincides with the citrus harvest – which is a natural way to help boost your immune system. Living in California at this time of year means you can’t help but discover different types of citrus – up until [...]

I remember when I was a child, overhearing my parents talking about their appointment with their accountant to get their dreaded ‘taxes’ done. It always seemed like such serious, big adult business. And now that I’m a full-fledged adult out on my own I realize that I was right – if there is one time [...]

There are some days where you just can’t believe that your life is your own. Today was one of those days. This morning I met up with my friend Caryn at Fashion Island to prepare for our big weekend at the Golden Globes with Diet Pepsi. We shopped, and shopped, and then had lunch before [...]

I grew up watching Hollywood awards shows with my mom. She and I have both always been a big fan of awards season – we are avid celebrity watchers and love a good red carpet. As a little girl I filled my room with Hollywood memorabilia – hoping to one day be an actress and [...]
Continue ReadingHappy New Year! I can hardly believe it has already been 3 months – three whole months – that I’ve been married to my best friend. Our story is one that I’ve shared before, but it never gets old to me. We dated for 13 months before we were engaged and then we spent 21 [...]

In my work with Walmart I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to the hub of all of the action on more than one occasion (remember my trip to Walmart’s Shareholders meeting?) in Bentonville, Arkansas. However, I was especially looking forward to my last trip there because it was the highly-anticipated Holiday trip [...]

It is no secret that I love (love, love, love) beauty products. Not only am I determined to stay 29 with ‘x number of years experience’ for the rest of my life (therefore needing lots of anti-aging products, and most likely a miracle) but it’s just a fun hobby for me. A trip to Sephora [...]

I grew up shopping in Walgreens stores. Our prescriptions were always filled there (I’m a huge fan of drive-through pharmacies) and being an avid photographer I use the photo department pretty heavily. When I lived in Louisiana I literally had a Walgreens right down the street – and now that I live in California [...]

Naturally each year our kids make Christmas Lists. This year some of their highlights include a blue Furby (“Mommy, I hope that when you went shopping on BROWN FRIDAY you remembered to get me a blue furby.”) and Skylander’s Giants. And every year I write about the things the kids want. Which is fine and [...]

A few weeks ago I gathered with fellow fashion, style, and beauty writers to celebrate Salma Hayek’s line Nuance at CVS at Bungalow 3 at the Chateau Marmont. Naturally as a writer and mother of a 5 and 6 year old I can either be found behind a computer, driving carpool, doing homework, or refereeing [...]
