As I once again prepared to pack up my belongings for yet another move, I sat back to count the number of times I’ve moved since leaving my parents’ house for college.
If there’s one piece that instantly elevates an outfit, it’s black leather shorts. They’re polished but edgy. Classic but bold. And when styled thoughtfully, they can work for brunch, date night, travel days, and even creative office settings.
About four months ago, I got my hair cut and colored by the best stylist I’ve found in Orange County so far. And as the adage goes, you get what you pay for. It was a great haircut and hair color job that I really loved.
The moment a stylist spins the chair around to reveal your newly coiffed hair in the mirror is one of life’s lesser appreciated emotional crossroads. A good haircut gives you confidence; a bad one can bring you to tears. I recently got the worst haircut of my life. I got absolutely butchered. Gone were six…
Most summers, I go back home to visit my parents, old friends and extended family. This summer, I’m bringing Rocco with me so I can introduce him to everyone. The thought of lugging an infant and all of the things he needs so I can take care of him while away (diapers, formula, baby food,…
If you’re a curvy girl, you might think you can’t wear a printed skirt. Up until last year, I was sure I couldn’t (or shouldn’t) wear printed skirts. I thought my hips were too wide and that they looked terrible on me. Then, I tried a floral printed pencil skirt and it finally worked.

I love floral off shoulder dresses because they feel so light, airy and romantic for spring and summer. I’m also so glad that stores aren’t only carrying obvious styles – read white eyelet or lace – but also vibrant colors and interesting floral prints.
My son is wrapping up his kindergarten year and my daughter is starting kindergarten next fall. With these major milestones, I figured it’s about time I teach my kids how to tie their shoes. I’d heard about the bunny ear technique, so I honestly thought teaching kids how to tie shoes was going to be a breeze.
Denim is one of the hottest trends for spring. I’m absolutely loving the resurgence of denim everything. Of course, denim has been popular for many years, but the denim on denim trend only comes and goes. This year, the more denim, the better. I recently found this long denim vest or long denim jacket and I absolutely love it.
Despite my best attempts, I totally failed to complete my 10K training program. About two weeks before my first 10K, I almost quit, but decided to stick it out. Even though I was not at all prepared to run the 10K, I decided to head to San Francisco to give it a shot.
Chocolate covered pretzels, especially chocolate covered pretzel rods are one of my favorite treats. The sweet and salty combo is always a winner and there is something so appealing about the crunch of chocolate dipped pretzel rods. I like them dipped in milk or dark chocolate and I like white chocolate covered pretzels even more.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are only weeks away and I’m sure many of you will be traveling to visit family and friends.

Since 2003, I’ve lived far away from my family and many of my friends. Luckily, my parents spend a few months each winter in Phoenix near us. My sister and nephew always make a trip to see us to escape the cold. But unfortunately, we don’t get to see our extended family very often. Making custom Christmas cards for my family and friends is a great way to keep in touch with everyone who lives far away. Plus, who doesn’t love to get mail?
After a long day at work, I hurriedly rush into my kids’ preschool, only to find them covered in slime. I’m tired. It’s been a long day. Now I get to help peel slime off their hands, clothes, arms, so they won’t taint my car with that sticky messy stuff.

But they love slime so much, I’ve pulled the 11 coolest slime recipes I could find.
Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s time to get creative in the kitchen with some ghoulishly delightful treats.
