One of the best things about Los Angeles is the ability to find excellent restaurants with outside seating to take advantage of 74 degree February days. Now, I know that many of my readers located in the Midwest and East Coast have just moved on to a new page, but I did not mean this
I had an ongoing fantasy as a kid that I would someday become one of the “Precise Girls”. You’ve seen them: clothes are perfectly tailored and starched, jewelry is appropriate (and on), hair has never known a flyaway. I tried. I really tried. I owned Lisa Birnbach’s “The Official Preppy Handbook”. I even read it.
As an award-winning blogger (shhhh—let’s live with the delusion a bit longer), I feel like I should be imparting daily words of wisdom. Somehow “relationships suck” is not going to cut it anymore.

I received an email letting me know that this blog has been named among the 50 Best Relationship Blogs (I’m #7 in the main list) by Guide to Online Schools.

It isn’t unusual for me, at this time of year, to look back and take stock of my life. Naturally, work is a huge part of this reflection. Have I made a mark? Am I valuable? Can I continue doing what I’m doing without slitting my wrists? You know–the basic questions everyone asks. I won’t
Top 10 Reasons Vajazzling has me concerned: I originally heard about this process from an ER doc. One word: extraction. I’ve heard women say that they do this to feel better about their vaginas. Far be it from me to take away something that makes you feel better about your body, but it didn’t occur
