I am a self confessed product junkie. In the olden days of my youth (the eighties) it was the quest to find the perfect shade of lilac for my nails, lips or lashes (I had a phase, I'll admit). But as I age it's less about makeup and more about skin. — Read More —

It’s the topic of conversation at every dinner I attend, especially if it’s taking place in a restaurant. It usually starts with someone holding the menu at arms length, squinting, as they try to make sense of it. “Is this writing tiny or is it me?” — Read More —

I love accessories. A hat, scarf, sunglasses, bangles, an ear cuff and I'm a sucker for a good belt - not all at the same time of course. When done well, accessories can cement your getup as solidly fashionable. The right bauble takes you from a plain Betty to a pulled together, sophisticated and maybe even a little glamorous Veronica. So I am currently loving the accessory for the ages: The iPhone case. — Read More —

Sunshine, heat, ice cream and beach time – YAY! Shorts, skirts, bare legs and bathing suits – BOOH! Ladies (and some gents) may know what I'm talking about. I call it shed dread.

If you happen to be heading there and you happen to like food (if you don't we can't be friends), I encourage you to check out the following list.

If you are anywhere in the Pacific Northwest area right now, stop everything and head to your nearest fish monger because I've got tonight's dinner menu planned for you. Copper River Sockeye is in season for just a few weeks a year and if you haven't tried it before, you'll thank me. And if you have, then you know what I'm talking about and you've already had some. It's the best fish in the world. Full stop. — Read More —

I’ve been eating (predominantly) gluten-free for over three years. In that time, the number of GF products on the market has exploded. And while the selection has improved, the taste of these products hasn't always kept pace. — Read More —

Forgot your password? Try "password". And if that doesn't work, give "123456" a shot. Given those are the two most commonly used passwords, chances are you've used at least one of them. Shame on you. It seems every week another major story about hacking hits the news - this week it was eBay - yet our password laziness lives on. — Read More —
