My cat Squeaker’s fluffy white fur looks so good on her, but I don’t appreciate it when she drops it on my floors, the sofa, or all over my black DVF wrap dress. There are definitely days when I feel like I’m on the losing end of keeping my floors, furniture, and wardrobe fur-free. Thanks [...]

I’ve always been more girl-next-door than femme fatale. While generally comfortable with being the “good conversationalist” or “funny” one, I occasionally long to be the sultry vixen whose silhouette commands men’s undivided attention.

One of my friends divorced recently and the only thing she took with her (besides her wardrobe, of course) was her KitchenAid stand mixer. It’s bright cherry red and and is the centerpiece of her new, single-girl kitchen. I never really understood the love affair many women have with these small appliances, but after buying [...]

I will admit that I’m not much of a baker. I have dreams of whipping up moist cakes and sugary-sweet homemade icing (wearing four-inch heels and a stylish wrap dress no less), but the reality is over-baked sweets and store-bought frosting.
