    You might think, because I post elaborate dinners here, that I never tire of cooking. But, the fact is I burn out sometimes and don’t always feel like making dinner.

    Gwyneth Paltrow gets a bad rap. A lot of which, I think, is caused by her affinity for trying new things. It also seems to have something to do with how good she is at the new things she tries. Maybe it’s our inner middle schooler feeling insecure or snarky, but it seems like whenever she tackles…

    Tribal-inspired pieces are big for summer, and I couldn’t be more excited. For me, there is something that seems so natural about this look for warmer weather.

    A month or two ago, Cooking Light featured a great article on salads. This might seem like a bit of an oxymoron, but it was pretty interesting. It showed groups of ingredients that played well together. Most of these combinations weren’t earth shattering, but for me, they worked more like a reminder. “Oh yeah, I…

Between the fashion and intrigue, I’ve stayed with the show through its rough patches(and there have been a lot) and in the spirit of full disclosure, will most likely watch it no matter how terrible it gets (Vanessa & Nate?). So like most 16 year-old girls,…
