My other cover story this month was Eva Mendes for the April 2015 issue of Women’s Health. And the story has been garnering quite a lot of press because the actress/fashion designer/new mom is a believer in keeping her private life private. Lucky for us, she did open a window into her amazing life, and we got to have a fun chat at the […]
This month, I had a sit-down with reality show star turned fashion and lifestyle maven, Lauren Conrad for the cover story in the April 2015 issue of Redbook magazine. We met at the offices of one of her fashion businesses in L.A., Paper Crown, and she was down to earth, super cool and really funny. Check out the full […]
I remember watching an episode of House of Cards in Season Two, when they spoke of a “Deep Web” which most of us don’t know how to access through standard search engines. Well, now I believe the web goes deep. Because yesterday I was searching for something I had written, and I didn’t find that. But I stumbled upon […]
I’ve been interviewed a number of times lately for a few different kinds of stories, but one I come back to pretty often: dating, love and happiness advice for single moms and dads—some of the hardest working people in life-business. Here is some of my love, happiness and dating advice for parents going it alone. […]
My latest cover story gave me someone to truly root for at this year’s Academy Awards: Julianne Moore, who won for Best Actress for her role in Still Alice.

Which means the app now has more than 250 positive ideas to happy up your love life. Can you take […]
I have paint and primer all over my hands. And some on my knee. And I just found some on my forearm earlier. But it’s all for a good cause: I’m re-doing my bathroom. Yes, I could pay someone to do it, but I love DIY and home design, which is why I also love HGTV. […]
Man, I used to be so good at sleep. If sleep was a school subject, mine was like recess: a break so stress-free, that by the time the bell rang, I was refreshed and ready to go. And then things changed overnight—literally overnight. Here’s what I mean: I can still fall asleep easily, usually dozing […]
There’s nothing like some good fitness advice to get us all started fresh for the new year. Which is why I was so personally excited to be able to meet up with Jen Widerstrom, one of the two newest trainers on The Biggest Loser, to pick her brain. For all of our benefit, I wanted […]
I love when someone I interview brings up the subject of happiness while we’re chatting, because—as you can imagine—it’s one of my favorite things to talk about! In this case, it was Hilary Duff, in the December issue of Health magazine. She was talking about her brand new album and her new TV show, Younger, both […]
