I was looking through some of the ASME award finalists yesterday and came across an article from O Magazine last year. The piece was a two-part series about this woman who subjected herself to the 60 day Bikram challenge. She was at a bad place in her life and decided...
There is so much Royal Wedding fever going on, it’s insane. On the one hand, I think it could be kind of un-patriotic for an American to go googly-eyed over the royal nuptials, what with us being founded on the concept of rejecting royalty. I get it, that’s all politically...
Seeing as I am an avid reader, there have been numerous opportunities when I have had the option of buying some sort of e-reader. And while I love the designer covers for the Nook, I just haven’t really understood the appeal. The other night over dinner, one of my sisters...
There are all these people in the subways and streets of New York prophesying about the end of the world and the second coming of Christ and yada yada yada. In case you haven’t heard, the world ends May 21, 2011. http://judgementday2011.com/ Of course, as my journalism professor points out,...

You know how when you wear red lipstick, you go around with this goofy little mysterious smirk? It’s such a thrill, one can’t help but feel empowered. Well underwear does the same thing. I skim Women’s Wear Daily in the mornings and they have a regular section called “innerwear,” completely...
Happy Sant Jordi!! There are apparently some pretty standard things to eat on Sant Jordi, but they’re all way too complicated for me. Plus, I just love love love breakfast, especially when it includes carbs. Unfortunately, I don’t have a kitchen. But I might be commandeering someone else’s to make...
I’ve always had a weird relationship with music. Back when I was a little more involved in it, I would hear harmonies in my head. I could sometimes hear two different songs playing at the same time. Even now, there’s always something playing in my head (Currently “Paperweight” by Joshua...
I’ve been trying to be good lately about, well, everything. I’ve cleaned out my closet (mostly), eliminated clutter (mostly), and been on a health kick (as long as you don’t count the daily chocolate binge and ice cream for breakfast). But really… The lovely Laura Max Nelson has also got...
