One of the key factors to success in anything we do is by pushing through, becoming a bit more fearless. No, I am not talking about jumping off the cliff; but I do want you to take a few chances on your style!

Uber has its roots in German language dating back to the 1800’s when philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche coined the term “ubermensch” to describe a higher state he felt men might aspire (superior men). It was brought to [...]

It’s been a very long winter here in the south and it seems as if we’ve just launched right into summer. This has sent everyone who is allergy prone into a tail spin. Walking the other day and seeing all the pine pollen I had to acknowledge this was the cause of everyone’s misery.

This is the 3rd and final post in the series on what to wear to a wedding. This final post will be a bit different since destination weddings ARE different.

A new season of American Idol is underway, and although I normally catch the final rounds, I tuned in this past week to see the top 12 women compete.
The women range in age from 16 to 24. Their talent is pretty amazing-it was the first time the audience had the opportunity to see each contestant [...]
