It’s Saturday and my fantasy dinner party is coming together. I’ve got a simple, yet elegant, tablescape. The wine chilling is in the fridge. And I’m putting the final touches on dinner and dessert. So which Hollywood couples are on my dinner party guest list? They are couples who have been married a long time, with the exception of one adorable couple whom I still consider newlyweds. I have been huge fans of these actors and actresses for years. I remember watching some of these actors in big budget movies and independent films, and on TV shows. So let’s get to the […]
“School of Life” is a Good Lesson on Life
I stumbled upon a movie on TV the other night starring the handsome, and now married, Ryan Reynolds. I’ve been smitten with Reynolds since Two Guys, A Girl and A Pizza Place. The movie I’m writing about was a made-for-TV movie titled School of Life (2005) and starred Reynolds as Michael D’Angelo.

During this 21-day event, Ulta is offering beauty steals up to 50% off, including special deals on brands such as Urban Decay, It […]

“It’s almost a kick that I’m looking for. I like to push myself, find new sides of myself and see how different the characters are that I can create with my craft.” – Alicia Vikander, Oscar-winning actress and star of the new movie, The Light Between Oceans. When I saw Alicia Vikander take the stage in her yellow strapless high-low dress to accept her Oscar, I knew then that she had a beauty and a style that couldn’t be match by any other actress. This is why she is this month’s “Woman of Style.” Vikander won both the Academy Award and the […]

But at their prices, I can’t afford them. I’d have to save a small fortune every month for a year to be able to afford a pair of red-soled shoes, but that doesn’t stop me from loving and enjoying the beauty and style of these iconic shoes. I have been to high-end luxury store where these shoes are sold and have held them in my hand. A small wave […]
