For years I have subscribed to various magazines, relishing the smell of the freshly printed magazines and the smooth finish of the glossy covers. And for years, after I read a magazine from cover-to-cover, I went back through for one final read and ripped out a page (or pages) here and there and cataloged them: “Fashion”, “Beauty – Hair & Skin Care”, “Fitness”, “All Things Chanel”, and “Articles Worth a Second Read.” I recently went through a huge three-inch binder that held all these magazine pages and made two piles – keep and toss. My keep pile ended up quite […]
A Few of My Favorite Things: Products I Love!
There are certain things that I like, and then there are other things that I love. Here are some of the skincare and haircare products I love and currently use.

Last year she won the Elvis in 1956 Art Contest and received tons of prizes. Check out her winning Elvis […]
A Few of My Favorite Actors…
“Some people get into this business and they’re so afraid to lose anything. They try to protect their position like clinging to a beachhead. These actors end up making really safe choices. I never wanted to go that route. If I go down, I’m going down swinging.” – Matt Damon For me, actors, specifically male actors, can make or break a movie.
