New Source for New Music
The Band of the Day iPad app not only helps you discover a new band and great music everyday, it also creates a playlist, “Mix Tape” of other bands just like it you can listen to while you work.
When it comes to apps, design and functionality count. BoD delivers on these levels as well.
After I discovered I love Civil Twilight on BoD, I went straight Rdio to add their album to my...

When in Rome, get outta there!
Over the past few weeks friends have been telling me they are off to Rome and Italy for vacation. (Lucky devils.) My concern for them was that they had booked so many days in Rome and not enough time in smaller towns. While I have great respect for Rome and truly love its history, the metropolitan life set amongst the ruins just doesn’t do it for me, especially in comparison to the...

More creative gift wrapping ideas
As I always say, if the package is pretty and the gift is thoughtful, the cost of the gift doesn’t matter. Due to your effort and the beautiful presentation, the person will love it!
I’ve done several videos on gift-wrapping, the “how to make the perfect bow” being the fan favorite, and now I have one more to add to the mix.
In this particular video I was presented...

I finally bought a new pair of running shoes!
After much deliberation and hunting, I finally bought a pair of Brooks running shoes to carry me through the summer. Some of you suggested them so they were on my list to try. It was love at first slip on I tell ya. I’m not a big runner, but with all of the upcoming travel and my twice a week Blast900 classes, I’ll be running more and need something more supportive than Nike...

These rules to living skinny aren't so bad
According to Trainer Bob (from The Biggest Loser), rules are meant to be followed, not broken. His new adage is live 80/20. In other words, follow the rules eighty percent of the time and give yourself the freedom to be human the other twenty. To me this not only sounds reasonable, but also a healthy way to live.
In his new book, The Skinny Rules, he outlines how you need to eat 80% of the time...

Lena Dunham - creator, producer, director, writer, and lead actress of HBO’s new series Girls - is brilliant. (She’s the one in plaid.) I’m three episodes in and totally addicted. And totally happy to be OUT of my 20s listening to their dilemmas! The cast and characters are eclectic in a way that almost keeps you from buying into their lives. But YOU CANNOT DENY...

Help! Which dress should I wear?!
This weekend is Dominique Sachse and Nick Florescu’s wedding at Becca Cason Thrash’s house and I have NOTHING to wear!!! I realize those names mean nothing to most of you, but let me put it this way, it’s the Houston event of the year.
Back in the day when I lived in NYC or LA, getting a dress at the last minute was easy because I could just call a showroom and have a few...

Real Fashionistas Are Going Nude
After watching the Fashion Police review of the atrocious Met ball gowns last night, I think the actresses would have been better off naked! Of course I’m kidding…
What I’m really implying with the title is that fashionable women are neglecting color and opting for shades of nude, combining creme, beige, khaki, gold, and pewter to create super soft and sophisticated spring...

Find new group fitness classes around you in one...
I am a HUGE fan of group fitness classes these days because I just can’t motivate myself to go to the gym. I never thought I would feel that way, but here I am, looking for excuses every day.

What if the airport was a huge farmer's market?
Just go with me for a second.
When we go to their airport, we walk down an aisle of fast food and are forced to choose between the lesser of many evils - processed snacks, frozen and then fried meals, food infused with preservatives, sterilized or canned veggies, over-sized desserts, and candy bars galore.
Carrying my homemade salad, I pass by these “restaurants” feeling so bad for...
