There are so many sales going on right now that it can be hard to justify paying full price for anything, especially clothes. For this article I challenged myself to find stylish, easy-to-wear pieces under $40. I chose to focus on classic blue, which is Pantone's color of the year for 2020. Classic blue is universally flattering on all skin tones and is a color that can be worn all four seasons, reducing cost per wear. ...

We moved to London for two years and Rachel and I still spoke on the phone, for at least an hour, every day. We moved back and despite the kids being at different schools we remained best friends. Then we weren’t....

You could hear us coming long before you saw us. My kids were in elementary school when I found a friend to run with. As I sat on the edge of a pool at a birthd...
Months after my Marriage, my First Big Love (FBL) and I met up at a wedding of friends from our weekend and house party days. I was surprisingly nervous, sweating in a snug sweater dress....
So, as we move into the cool weather months, for many of us that means like bears, we are moving into a form of quiet and isolation and the question is, what is the best way to stay connected to our friends.
Here are a few ideas that could make winter time a little more upbeat during this Pandemic.

The signs of anxiety didn’t appear all at once. At first, we stopped going to restaurants on Saturday night with white tablecloths. That was a trigger.

Being a nurse is a very rewarding role and can be exceptionally well paid and perfect for almost everyone. That is, of course, if you work beyond the standard r...
Even though winter is (thankfully) a couple of months away, it's time to start thinking about cold-weather footwear. Unsure of when we will be comfortably socializing indoors, many of us will continue to gather outside even if we need to be in our down parkas. Keeping our feet warm will be as essential as wearing a warm jacket....
We all love a cozy knit sweater with an oversized silhouette, but it is important to pay attention to proportion when styling one so it doesn't swallow us up. It's all about balance. To offset the volume on top, pair a tunic length sweater with leggings or skinny jeans. Add a heeled boot to make your legs appear longer. Here are my top 10 oversized sweaters you might want to consider adding to your wardrobe this fall....
Girlfriends are the gift that keep on giving. But, there have been changes in the way we communicate over the years.

I looked up the clinical definition of narcolepsy and I really don’t think I have it. But there are times when I just have to nod off. Call is strategic if you will but the truth is, my family knows that as soon as they start the engines on an airplane, I’m out. Apparently strategic napping is a real "thing".... they are even recommending it in the army. ...

We had a romantic start: museum dates, rooftop bars, cozy corners in restaurants, two snowed-in weekdays in March, sexy text banter. We felt like we were in a rom-com montage. Those early days were heady with lust, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin—a cocktail of feel good hormones.
But those early love-floods hid the cracks beneath the surface....
I tried to keep my eyes on the puzzle but I couldn’t help observing my daughter—now a young woman—gaze at her lover. People say she looks like me with her turned up nose and heart-shaped face, but her coloring is all her dad’s side of the family: deep, deep auburn hair; creamy porcelain skin with a smattering of peachy freckles; and light colored eyes—one blue, one light brown.
