No matter what side of the aisle your political passions reside, it must give you pause for reflection and awe — after watching Elizabeth, with Senator Edwards at her side.
She announced that cancer was detected, that it probably had spread and that it is incurable.
Not curable, but treatable.
Which tells us that from now on, our […]
I suppose if even Rachael (do you ever let your guests speak? :) ) Ray is talking about menopause well then everyone must be.
There is one element of this fabulous change in direction in a woman’s life that people are familiar with…but don’t seem to dwell on.
Memory loss or scatter-brain-ness. (And I am just […]
As a business owner, I am a staunch believer that customer service is THE key ingredient to a successful business.
For me, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is a superb example of customer support at it’s finest.
It’s only taken me 20 years to figure out how make-up works, in terms what is appropriate my own color palette and […]
Everyday, I come across a feature story about a stay-at-home mom who takes a simple idea and turns it into a viable and even multi-million dollar business.
From fabric alphabet letters that ended up as a prop on Friends, to scrapbooking, to door-to-door salon services…the thing these women have in common is their desire to work […]
Well, after 15 hours, door to door from Vegas to New York, no thanks to U.S. Airways and the entire airline industry we have returned from our trip to Vegas.
I wasn’t sure about the whole packing thing, because I’ve calculated that since I started The Pet Set, much of my wardrobe harkens back […]
How’s this for a fabulous name for a site: Madonnalicious.com ?
Well, it’s finally happened.
My touchstone to the Avant Garde has joined the ranks of super duper stars who sell reasonably priced clothing at formerly hip (and obscure, therefore hip) department stores.
In this case…the clothing actually looks well made and fun.
I say this because, by […]
I am quite certain that Christina at E Beauty Daily has a much better take on this all-important issue in a woman’s life than I do: hair color.
I have been going to the same stylist for 5 years…Paul has done wonders with color on my fine, semi-damaged hair:
Highlights so delicate and beautiful, they look […]
I received a wedding invitation recently, from someone who has not been a presence in my life for almost 20 years — my father.
He seems to be a person who really needs to be married.
He met and married my mother; they were married for 18 years, then got divorced.
Soon after, he met and married another […]
Oprah, to me, has always been a light and an inspiration…but now she’s just off the charts, in my opinion.
Last night I watched her special on the opening of The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy For Girls.
Gosh, I’ve been following Oprah’s career and her interests since back in the Phil Donahue days of daytime tv.
She […]
Doesn’t it seem that when something is bothering us, we think we’re the only person on the planet experiencing whatever that hurdle is?
Weight gain, career issues, family issues (I KNOW my family is weirder than yours)…kids, husband, house…whatever it may be — we believe we are all alone.
And sometimes it’s not really a hurdle, as […]
I am a big fan of sites that are dedicated to women entrepreneurs such as Ladies Who Launch and career development for women, such as my new fav:
Professional Diva: The career site for the stylish professional.
This is, for all intent and purpose, a job search tool…but with a panache that you will never see […]
I have a dear friend who is a single mother, a home owner, likes to travel and who has an extremely stressful and busy job.
Every minute of her day is accounted for, she barely sleeps, she worries constantly about her clients and her office colleagues.
I always thought of her as someone who went home at […]
I swear, some of the stories I hear about office politics are a clear reminder of why I left corporate America.
As we speak, in one large company here in New York, there is an espionage situation going on that would make a James Bond movie seem like The Care Bears.
A power struggle, complete with lying, […]
Lordy has the entire world gone mad?
Britney shaves her head and looks like a trucker, Anna’s posse comes up with a will with holes big enough that you can drive a truck through.
This Anna Nicole Smith executor and guardian situation grisly alright.
Here’s a clue: Write a will! (and one that starts off “I being […]
No matter how many times we hear some beauty/style “expert” say “…you know fashion magazine photography is fake…everything is airbrushed…”
We still spend half our salaries on mixtures and potions to help us look like the images we see in the magazines. Or at least we spend a lot of time wishing we did.
If you’re […]
