Style & Beauty
Tori Spelling is seriously one cool chick. She’s fashionable, funny, and what I consider to be the best multi-tasker on the planet. From television, to books, to her handsome husband, to her most prized possessions, Liam and Stella, it seems like there’s nothing she can’t do.
I’m excited to share an interview I did with Tori for my friends at Red Tricycle. Check it out!

As most of us scratch our heads amidst work deadlines, packing lunches, soccer games, and the occasional date night (huh?), wondering where in the world they sell that magical pill called “Balance,” there is one mom who seems to be able to manage it all…and then ...Read More
Ladies, I don’t know about you, but when I flip through all the fashion magazines, I am overcome with jealousy. Feelings of WANT and NEED become one and the same and I find myself fantasizing about an intense shopping spree (on someone else’s dime) followed by a jaunt to the Amalfi Coast where I can wear this “weekend-Island-Date Night-travel” look inspired by said magazine. (A girl can only dream right?)
Well, guess what, I’m kind of going to make our/your dream come true. I’m excited to announce that I’ve partnered up with Lucky Magazine to bring you Lucky Shops LA. Lucky Shops is the Ultimate Shopping Event. On April 8th and ...Read More
I don’t often check my stats to see what kind of traffic I get. Even though I’ve been blogging since 2007, I generally assume that no one except my mom and maybe a teenager lost on the Internet in Uruguay reads my blog. Okay, fine, that may sound a little pathetic, but in all honesty, the dial is very seldom pushed by a new referring URL or traffic source.
However, the other day I noticed a spike— from two places… one took research. One did not. The one that took research eventually led me to a lovely little forum where everyone’s avatar/ photo is of Joe Flannigan. (You remember him from ...Read More
When’s the last time you looked in the mirror, and saw those dark circles under your eyes as a status symbol– a beautiful indication of the hours you put into your family and life, instead of a sign of exhaustion and stress? Or when’s the last time you looked down at your breasts (literally DOWN at your breasts, as they now fall below the equator) and considered their (dis)placement as a rite of passage, instead of “the shitty thing about breastfeeding?” OR when’s the last time you looked at your ass in your not skinny jeans but alllmost 2 sizes CLOSER to the skinny jeans, and thought it looked perfectly ...Read More
Dear Bangs,
While looking through old photos the other day, I found a photo taken of me in 1st Grade… It must have been around Thanksgiving time because half the class is wearing what appears to be Pilgrim hats (made out of construction paper), while the other half dons Indian Chief hats (it was okay to say “Indian” back then. We didn’t know).
Anyway, Bangs, this was in 1982…. which means I was 6…. which means we’ve been together for 27 years. We’ve grown up together, you and I… And though I never EVER strayed (with the exception of a very long/side swept thing I tried right after college), for all ...Read More
I am so over the moon and excited to announce that my blog was mentioned in this month’s SELF Magazine as one of the Editor’s and Self.com bloggers picks for favorite Web Diaries. PerfectlyDisheveled.com was their Fitness Tip Bloggers pick along with NieNie Dialogues (which has a huge following).
Thank you, SELF!
This is a pretty big honor and one that definitely warranted me getting choked up at the newsstand over at 8am this morning… Needless to say, my fancy sunglasses are now all smudged from tears, but I’ve got my back up pair on stand by just in case…. Hope Baby-Ko doesn’t mind being shadeless:-)
This weekend, I went to a charity event where there were quite a few celeb moms and their kids in attendance (I have told you how cool I am, haven’t I?) Anyway, maybe its something about being a celebrity that automatically makes everything they do look so effortless, but I couldn’t help but feel totally disheveled in their presence — As they were enjoying the festivities, smiling for photo opps, and whisking around their children from station to station looking totally flawless, I was praying that my bangs didn’t frizz and making sure I didn’t slip and fall on the ice (brought in just for the event), and that no ...Read More
Tonight I saw a promo for a local news segment on a product called Betty Color and I literally had to pause it and rewind it like ten times. Granted, it was channel 9 news which is generally garbage, but they were running a segment on an apparent growing trend: Dying Pubic Hair.
I KNOW. I mean, we all know that for most women, the carpet doesn’t match the drapes. But does it matter? No one’s ever met a dumb blonde and looked at her black pubes and thought, “hmmm, maybe she is smart after all.”
When so many women, including myself, put themselves through torturous scenarios to try to ...Read More
With my five year anniversary approaching next week, I have been racking my brain trying to think of a great gift for T-Ko (preferably one that doesn’t involve killing hookers). And considering that I just spent a small fortune on the said XBox 360, I would love to find something that doesn’t break the bank and/or lead to future marital problems…
Well, ironically, this morning on the Today Show there was a follow up segment about this couple who wrote a book about having SEX 101 DAYS IN A ROW. Yes, in a row. No excuses. No ifs, ands, or “butts.” As I listened to the couple brag to Meredith ...Read More
