Reebok has just launched its new Reebok Women’s EasyTone Go Outside line — a training shoe that actually works you out as you walk.

I never went to my prom. Instead I chose to flee to the mountains with my best friend Steve and other best friend Ingrid and camp all night as a sign of protest against what I thought was an expensive, bourgeois, and ridiculous attempt at forced school spirit.

Some of my colleagues over here passed around this New York Times news article yesterday about how this whoopie pie phenomenon (not to be confused with the whoopie cushion)  is sweeping the nation as a trend in must-have desserts.

Last week I was lucky enough to have a four-day, three-night spa vacay at Canyon Ranch in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains. Detox was the watchword, as I instantly retreated from my everyday life of errands, toddler-time and work ,and let me-time take over. I went snowshoeing, learned how to circuit train, spent afternoons splashing in water aerobics, mellowed out with [...]

With spring just around the corner (March 20), I’m getting inspired to start some serious decorating. My husband and I moved into our place just over a year ago, and there are a few rooms that haven’t yet seen a paint brush. Some walls are white and some are a beige that borders on boring, [...]
