Nail a Healthy Glow in the New Year
One of my ongoing skincare goals is to seek out the latest beauty products with the best results for achieving a healthy glow. Healthy and youthful of course go hand in hand. Oh, to have my nine-year-old's gorgeous skin and go back in time and proactively take better care of it! At 50, I'm in full defense mode. I'm not anxious to start lasering and injecting...

I realize I’m going against the grain (lol), but I still believe there is something quite magical in savoring a piece of warm, homemade bread. So delish.... Plus, have you ever read the ingredient list of all the "junk" that's in your favorite loaf of bread at the store? From dextrose (code for sugar) and soy lecithin to other chemical names that are difficult to pronounce, it's not pretty. The store-bought choices are improving, but they are slim. My daughter’s food allergies provided the ...Read more.

Celeb Style Crush | Mandy Moore
At the Golden Globe Awards last week, celebrities were out in black in full force to show their support for the Time's Up movement, protesting sexual harassment in workplace, including Hollywood and beyond. Awesome! Every woman, whether a celebrity or not, can identify with and get behind this statement. And, even though just about all of our favorite stars were robed in black, they made sure their personal style shone through and kept things interesting with gorgeous details, pops of color and statement accessories. So many ladies looked stunning and strong, from Reese Witherspoon (va-va-va-voom!) and Dakota Johnson ...Read more.

Angela’s Lab | All Black is Always Chic

And, by investing in different textured fabrics and embellished pieces, it's never boring. Black is also the perfect backdrop to make other colors and statement jewelry or accessories really pop. Bonus -- stains don't show as readily and less expensive clothing in black automatically looks richer. Black is a girl's best friend, truly. ...Read more.
