Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss is doing what fashion designers often don't do: making women feel good about their bodies.

"I love fashion but it can be frustrating. Yes, clothes look great on tall, thin models but who really looks like that? We're women. We have hips, butts, things...

Losing a political primary can be morale-breaking. But for Terry McAuliffe, it was inspiring.

"I literally woke up the next day rarin' to go. I loved running, I loved talking to people and I'm doing what I said I'd do for the state, I'm just not doing it as...

For fashion designer Maria Cornejo, getting back into fashion on her own terms after moving to America was her greatest professional challenge.

"I'm not a young guy designer in New York City. I'm a woman, I have kids and I struggle."

But the self-described "Brooklyn Mom" believes scrambling to balance...

Cash Warren has it all -- good looks, gorgeous wife (hello, Jessica Alba!) and daughter, popping career -- he's the kind of guy you'd be wildly envious of in high school because he was the star basketball player and dated the head cheerleader. But reality often diverges from Hollywood fantasy.

If given a year sabbatical by CNBC, Erin Burnett would take it in a heartbeat.

"My parents still live on the farm where I grew up so I'd spend time there, spend time with my sisters and go to their kids' games and travel. Travel in that way you...

Not many co-anchors can accuse one another of rehab stints and prison time, and remain the source of unvarnished political perspectives on the questions of the day for DC power players and Midwest hockey moms alike.

Viewers of MSNBC's Morning Joe feel as if...

President Obama called on law makers to forget old divisive ways of doing business and become catalysts for the future in Wednesday's State of the Union address.

"For the challenges we face are bigger than party and bigger than politics," Obama said as he described this American moment --...

After a decade of what he calls too tight, too hard looks and women wearing clothes "five sizes too small", fashion's classiest 'it' designer is spearheading a vision of well-made craftsmanship with a softer, ethereal touch in the new year.

"2011 will be the year of women being women in...

Few people go against convention and actually succeed. Aaron Schock is one of them. The indefatigable, 29-year-old Republican Congressman from Illinois challenged the Peoria school board at age 19 when they wouldn't let him graduate early because of a lacking gym class credit. And he won. Four years later he...

Millennials are being called the most progressive generation ever; they believe in civic responsibility and their own ability to make change. Through blogs, tweets and Facebook movements, Millennials are staging a cyber coup d'etat that's forcing their way to the decision-making table. One of the leaders in this informational crusade...

In today's society, the portrait of Millennials is not always pretty. At a time when many reality stars and young media figures have made being gainfully unemployed and stuck in a purgatory between adolescence and adulthood an enviable success in itself, 25-year-old 2010 U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek is...

"Spoiled," "cocky," "listless," espousing the values of Peter Pan and Paris Hilton: these are just a smattering of the descriptions found in newspapers and studies of "Millennials," the generation born after 1980. Some opine that this group cannot and will not contribute to American society as previous generations have. New...

The average age of first-time mothers in the U.S. is 25.1, according to a 2002 CDC survey. I became pregnant for the first time at 24, so that makes me "average" according to this statistic. But it certainly does not feel that way. In fact, reading the voluminous commentary within...

Full confession: I love The Bachelor. As a devotee of the show, I couldn't believe my eyes when my husband and I saw a former Bachelor at a charity event. Gone was the requisite six-pack, but there he was: a pudgier, smugger version of the bright-eyed Lothario that once was....

I approached it like a congressional campaign, micro-managing every detail to create the perfect façade. We were attending our first political fundraiser with our tiny baby and I was foolishly determined to project an image of a portrait-ready, polished family.

Channeling the political goddess Jackie Kennedy (with a splash...

It's graduation season, and at major universities everywhere, CEO's, news anchors, politicians and others are making commencement speeches and offering guidance to young people on how to achieve their dreams. "In your focus on career, do not sell short the fulfillment of starting a family," UN Ambassador Susan Rice wisely...

Food is the newest "It-girl", the topic du jour. Our First Lady is emphasizing it, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is advocating its safety, and Jamie Oliver is conducting a revolution in its name!
But many people have a complicated relationship with food. Mine can be characterized as a bipolar,...

The first four words of the Polish national anthem are "Jeszcze Polska nie zginela," "Poland has not yet been lost." That line captures the essence of what it means to be Polish: Poles, however disheartening the prospects seem, will not allow their nation to perish, even when the country faced...
