For those of you that know me you know that my true passion in life has been to find a cure for Heart disease, dominant in my family. This is the No. 1 killer of all Americans, specifically looking at women. Through out the month, the American Heart Association’s “Heart to Heart: Why Losing One […]

Easing Back into Makeup

A closer look into the "No Makeup Makeup" Trend.......

Thursday, January 28th, 2021

Since last March, or since Covid really, makeup sales around the world have taken a nose dive. Skin care, body care, hair care, nail care…even fragrance have all enjoyed growth during these uncertain times. It really makes sense because makeup makes a mess of the mask and the mask makes a mess of the makeup. […]

A Star is Born…Amanda Gorman, the 22-Year-Old That Has Taken the Country By Storm

A deeper dive into the youngest poet laureate in U.S. history and how her presence and style was a highlight of the Inauguration

Sunday, January 24th, 2021

Politics aside, I think it’s safe to say that Amanda Gorman was a star of the Inauguration as Poet Laureate. 22-year-old Amanda is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, and she was the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate. Truly incredible! Her poem The Hill We Climb was written after witnessing […]

Sunday, January 17th, 2021

When the magnificent Rich and Nancy Kinder Building opened in November 2020, we were all in awe of this spectacular building and the works of art within it. However, there was also a buzz going on at the press previews as we saw the empty spaces that were soon to become (2) restaurants. I was […]

Wednesday, January 13th, 2021

As we made our treck (which is nothing by the way, just shy of an hour) down to the bay area to visit this new hot restaurant that I kept hearing about and that my own kids, the chicken people, Nicole & Michael, had visited three times already. It was for me a trip down […]

New Year, New Beauty Resolutions!

Tuesday, January 12th, 2021

Happy New Year! First, let me say that I hope you had a nice, relaxing and restful holiday. Second, 2021 has already shown its ugly side so there are more lockdowns and more upheaval, which only means we need more self-care and stress management in the new year. I’m a silver lining kind of gal […]

It’s 2021…..This Year Choose a Healthy Lifestyle Not a Diet

Each January millions of American’s New Year’s Resolutions include a diet. Unfortunately, most “diets” are restrictive, omit nutritious food groups and are hard to sustain. In 2021 let us shift our paradigm. Instead of a diet, aim to improve your lifestyle for long lasting benefits. What does this look like? Make 3-5 goals aimed at […]

What’s New for the New Year in Our Current Favorite Type of Apparel

We've been living in a wardrobe of comfy athletic wear for almost a year now, and it's time to freshen it up!

January and a new year always brings about wanting to “get back in shape” or go back to the gym (or these days, working out from home) or going back to our healthy ways after an indulgent holiday season. This is usually the activewear departments’ Super Bowl! Well, it didn’t take a new year and […]
