Judging by the 2 candles on the cake, I’d say this was my second birthday, 1978 Today is my 36th birthday. Which means, I am now closer to 40 than I am to 30, and nowhere near 2 – – and that is a bit surreal. I often hear people say I don’t feel {insert …
What Is Success?
Success means different things to different people… or it should anyway, but more specifically, success seems to be almost exclusively tied with fame or fortune – and more importantly, both, without many variables in between. But is success really that clear-cut and uncompromising? If it were based solely on fame and fortune, then would you …
My Life… Photos… New & Vintage Finds…
This week will go down in history as one of the top 5 craziest weeks of my life. Yes, I feel a little dramatic even just typing that but it really has been insane. My manuscript was due to my publisher on Monday and admittedly, I’m a few days late in sending it in. Oh …
Turn Your Favorite Instagram Photos into a Movie with Animoto
I caught this tech post out of the corner of my eye while working on one of my various jobs at BlogHer.com and was IMMEDIATELY INGTRIGUED. I’m in love with Instagram. It accounts for most of the time I spend staring at my iPhone so why wouldn’t I want to make a movie out of …
One look at You & I can’t Disguise
What I’m Wearing* J Brand black coated leggings/jeans {courtesy of J brand jeans}… I love them. They have little sparkles all over them but are subtle and from a distance, have a leather-like look. They’re pretty stretchy and since I’ve lost a few lbs, I could have sized down, but they are comfy!* Vintage black …
My Experience at BlogHer’11 …in a nutshell
Wow. I mean, WOW. BlogHer’11, what can I say? I had a blast. The nerves I had building up to it were pointless. Once there, meeting all the fabulous women, it’s hard not to just settle in and become part of the madness. Though, in fact, I wasn’t so much a part of the madness, …
…around the house, as of late.
The husband prefers to work at the dining room table in the middle of all the “action”, as I like to call it. And even though I love to see our beautiful table free of clutter, I try to look past his piles of notebooks and scripts because I know that’s where he gets his …
Cheers to a Happy New Year Lovecats!
2010 left me pooped! My goal is to make 2011 a stress-free zone …who’s with me? Life is too short to be unhappy and stressed out right? They say reality is all perception, so let’s do our best to change our perspective whenever reality is less than fun. It’s time to start having some fun …

IT WAS …
How I Quit Smoking the Easy Way
originally published on September 19, 2010 One of the best emails I’ve ever received was a thank you from a girl who had read my Dear Lungs post and used it to help her quit smoking. She told me that she printed it out and kept it under her computer keyboard and every time she …
I guess this’s how I’m working through it
I’m not sure that I quite understand sadness …or rather, what to do with so much of it. I know that for so long I dealt with it angrily. And as hard as I try to handle it maturely now, when sadness completely overwhelms me I will still sometimes resort to a tiny temper tantrum …

Fair Game Filming & French Bulldogs
The husband and I filmed a little comedic montage in our home yesterday for the FoxSports.com show Fair Game which will go live next Wednesday and I’m already nervous about it because I hate watching myself on film. Even editing my hair videos makes me cringe. But saying that, I can’t wait to see how …

Vintage Levi’s Jeans
The 90’s were all about vintage Levi’s …vintage MEN’S button fly Levi’s, and finding the right pair was paramount. There was this amazingly disgusting tiny little thrift shop on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City called Claudia’s Boutique that had the BEST selection of ripped up vintage Levi’s for $15 each. Claudia, who seemed ancient even …
