Meet Ashley. I've known Ashley since college and watching her blossom as a woman alongside me has been a wonder to watch. Since our days in musical theater, I have seen her definition of "beauty" evolve. Her work as a makeup artist now is all about enhancing the inner...
How to Network (Without Being Sleazy)
One of the things that I have heard people say over and over again (in business, when I was an actress, and even from mommy friends): "I hate to network? How can I network and not feel sleazy?" I get it. And not because I don't like to network, but because I don't...
Suzette says I am More Than My Numbers
Meet Suzette. Suzette and I are "primas". What that means, in Spanish, is cousins. But we didn't meet each other until we were both adults. You see, our parents are actually first cousins and in adult years lived far from each other. Suzette's last name, and my maiden...

Learn to Love: Your Belly
Oh hey there, Belly. Tummy. Stomach. Gut. Abdomen. Whatever you call it. Learning to love this part of my body has been a real doozy for me. The two parts of my body that I hated the most were my thighs and my tummy. Ever since I had the awareness to recognize it, I...
Rachel Kara says I am More Than My Numbers
Meet Rachel Kara. I've known Rachel Kara since college, but I really got to know her in another classroom. We were both enrolled in a summer Meisner technique acting class in 2006, and that technique goes deep. Deep down into the "who are you really and how do...
Say Hurray for Your Morning Routine
Style notes: I'm wearing a PJ set courtesy of Bluebella, and a bra from Rosy Paris {which I bought at the amazing Galereis Lafayette in Paris. The most amazing department store I've ever been to!} Photo by Becky Yee during the Hurray Vacay in Paris in a beautiful...
Becky says I am More Than My Numbers
Meet Becky. Becky and I are pretty unlikely colleagues. We met at a weekend women-in-business mastermind, and bonded over my vintage style and Becky's recent pin-up photography clients. She invited me to do a shoot in her new studio. It started as a casual...
