I get it, someone on the U.S. Olympic Committee was tired of seeing U.S. athletes walking the worldwide runway in basic track suits and
Style savvy berets at recent opening ceremonies, so the Olympic Committee drafted the United Lord of Preppy, Ralph Lauren to design a...

Sometimes I have to remind myself that I really am living the dream. Aside from all of the "things" that I have and wonderful people in my life, above all, I am healthy. We generally take that for granted. While I've always had an idea of what cystic fibrosis was,...

1. My dog needs to get a job

My dog clearly is not one of those hyper, panic, and paranoid over reactive, super-barking, warning dogs. She pretty much just snoozed right through the first few seconds of the quake, until I called her name and summoned her (in my most...

Seriously, people have been driving me nuts with this whole turning forty way of thinking. I was sliding out of thirty-nine into forty just fine without anyone doing live commentating on the event. I was gracefully moving along, doing my thing, being the creative now and then girl, with a...

I've been accused of accomplishing more in one hour than the average person does in a day. I have that disease of being slightly over productive, I'm a dedicated list maker, and super task master. I have no idea what made me this way, but this is how it's always...

With the recent passing of model Ruslana Korshunova, the discussion of depression and suicide surface once again.

For some reason I feel as though we are hearing about more depression and suicide than ever before and I am feeling there's a lot of knocking at depressions door and no...

We aren't going to get tired of hearing it, we shouldn't get tired of hearing it; Tim Russert was the real deal. I believe Tom Brokow said it best yesterday when he said "He was a man with a profoundly moral center." In today's media and political environment that really...

I know it sounds slightly sketchy, but I assure you it's true. I slid over to a friend's place Sunday afternoon and hit the condo complex pool, it was a nice sunny warm day in Los Angeles one where if you aren't at the pool or beach you kind of...

Who says you can never go home? I'm home and it's just fine:

Having been born and raised in the islands, a large number of us leave home to go kick some big city ass, because we think living here on the rock all our lives, we've somehow missed...

Hey let's face it: Ikea is the vortex of visual guilty pleasure. It is a giant blue Swedish whale with a tummy full of stuff we all don't really need but somehow we have to have.

Mr. Ikea is no dummy, bring decent design to the masses, and make...

So, I don't know about you, but I personally think after the 300th read of I love You So Much, Good Night Moon and Diddle Diddle Dumpling, you kind of have to step it up and color outside Harold's purple crayon line to keep the brain cells from deep slumber.

I have been the Fed Ex poster girl for 15 years. I signed up for a Fed Ex account before I ever bought my first laptop or even my first car. Fed Ex is more valuable than my refrigerator and maybe even my dog. Fed Ex has always there for...

I am a big rice eater. I was born and raised on Guam, a small island in the pacific and by rule we love rice...I was raised eating the yummy white morsels with every single meal, it's genetic and mandatory -- think of it as the salad of the...

As I received the flood of calls Tuesday regarding the news of Heath Ledger's death, like many of you, it brought a flood of unexpected feelings in the middle of my work day: shock, devastation, questions, confusion and profound sadness.

Once I read the details, crosschecking various websites posting...

As we slide into 2008 and review our all new "revised" January 2nd version of our New Year's Resolutions, I think it's the perfect time to reflect on one resolution that doesn't generally make the big list, but should because it's easier to do than dieting, kicking a habit or...
