Questions to Ask Your Mother (or Father) Before It Is Too Late
Pretty much without fail — I call my mother every single day. I love checking in and seeing how her day was and filling her in on mine. I realize not everyone does this — but I love the relationship I have with my mom. If it’s one hour or one minute — we always check in with each other. It’s very comforting.
I recently did a teleseminar with Meggin McIntosh and of course my mom was listening on the line.

Not everyone talks to their mother every day but as Meggin writes in this guest blog — there are some questions you should be sure to ask the next time you talk: Read more
Making Visual Lists With Pinterest
There are lots of different ways to make lists — handwritten, apps, typed out in documents, by calling your voicemail, and even by drawing pictures. The website Pinterest.com is changing the list-making game. I have been dedicating some real time to getting to know it and it’s fabulous. It’s so much fun and once you start you won’t be able to stop! My guest blogger Jennifer Anastasi is addicted!

Have you heard of Pinterest? I’m a do-it-yourself, crafty type so I always have a list of project ideas a mile long. Previously, I thought I was pretty organized by keeping my ideas in a 3-ring binder and going through them every few months to weed out things that I’ve done or no longer plan to do.

No more magazine clippings, random notes and paper scraps! I’ve gone paperless with Pinterest and you can too. Read more
Remembering Charla Krupp: Look Fabulous, Not Frumpy
I’m reposting this blog post as a tribute to an amazing journalist. Sadly — beauty and fashion expert Charla Krupp lost her battle with breast cancer last night. She was 58.
Charla has changed the way women think about their bodies and about what they put on each morning. Charla was a former Instyle and Glamour editor turned New York Times best-selling author of “How Not to Look Old” and “How to Never Look Fat Again.”
You may have seen her on TV through the years — she has appeared on every major network giving tips and tricks for looking your best.
When I first started this blog — she graciously wrote a guest post for me. Here are her tips for looking fabulous – not frumpy!
17 Tips to Look Fabulous — Not Frumpy
by Charla Krupp
1. If you have back fat, a tummy, or thighs that need slimming, wear shapewear. There are a lot of comfortable options– even for swimsuits with shapewear built-in.
2. Pick your girls up as far as you can hoist them…in the right bra! If you haven’t had your bra fitted in years, you are likely to need a bigger cup and a smaller band.
3. Collar-length hair is more flattering on a full face than a bob with short bangs. Read more
