  • Summer Bucket List Part Two

    Summer Bucket List Part Two0

    Not going to lie. I’m not huge on vacations. I don’t love not being away from home. Mostly because I am a high-maintenance sleeper. One, I just want my own bed, and leaving my bed is a sacrifice. Two, everything I need to bring with me in order to sleep “decently” is kinda a pain,

  • Summer Flats

    Summer Flats0

    While a great heel will always have its place, who amongst us really wants to be tottering around in high heels during the hazy days of summer? For my money, flat shoes are dominating this season’s warm-weather wardrobe. From barely-there leather sandals to flip-flops to nostalgia-inducing jellies, summer flats can be both comfortable as well as

    It’s your move. Shake the dice, spin the wheel, count the squares and move your plastic piece a little closer to a win. You absolutely love doing this — it’s oddly very exciting — but why? Is your favorite board game one of skill or chance or, as in the new book “Across the Board”

  • What Kind of Man Are You?0

    When you look at the man in the mirror, what do you see? When I look first thing in the morning, I see a guy who desperately needs a cup of coffee. A shower and shave wouldn’t hurt either. The mirror on the wall isn’t the only one a man must consider. There are mirrors

  • Summer Fragrance0

    Personal fragrance comes in many forms and, for my money, is the final touch on any outfit. While I’m a firm believer in having a signature scent, I also think the change of season lends itself to switching out your go-to perfume for a fresh musk to match your warmer-weather looks. Think about it: does

    Oh, what a mess! Quick, grab a broom and get to work. There’s dirt here and, ugh, something liquid spilled everywhere. Careful you don’t track it around or you’ll just make it worse. Seems like you’re the source of the mess, and in the new book “Earthly Materials” by Cutter Wood, it’s unpleasant but totally

    Summer Bucket List Ideas0

    Here we are in the last week of May, and June starts on Sunday. Folks, how on earth did we get here? How are we almost six months through the year? I feel like I just packed my Christmas stuff up yesterday. I didn’t, haha, but it feels that way with how fast time is

  • Transform Jersey Shore Area 2025, August 4-8.0

    Having grown up in the Upstate New York countryside and then raising my family in North Central Pennsylvania, I’ve realized that small-town people care for their own. Let’s be honest: if every time we’re in a jam, we wait for some big agency to come and bail us out, we might be waiting for a

  • The Bookworm Sez: “Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder” by Rachel McCarthy James0

    Call it a difference of opinion. You say one thing, your opponent says another. You thrust and parry, they rant and argue, you both agree amiably, then disagree vehemently. Is there a place you can come together, a consensus on which you can settle? You’ll find it, if you’re patient but, as in the new

  • “Habdabs” or “Heebie-Jeebies”? Down Another Weird-Word Rabbit Hole0

    Some time ago, I came upon the term hab-dabs in my reading — a perfect candidate for these “weird word” columns. When that happens, I look the word up to make sure it’s official, then add it to my ever-growing list — which currently stands at 2,923. Then this week, when I glanced over that

    ARIES – Mar 21-Apr 20 Telling the truth has always come naturally to you, Aries. But tact isn’t always your specialty and sometimes your candor isn’t well-received. Keep that in mind this week. TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 It is time to make peace with someone even if it is the last thing you want

  • The Power of Protein0

    There are no miracles or shortcuts when it comes to healthy eating. Fad diets, supplements, meal replacers, superfoods, and metabolism boosters all come and go. At the end of the day, regardless of your fitness, wellness, or beauty goals, nothing can replace cooking for yourself with whole ingredients for the recommended daily doses of vitamins
