Brewing up flavors... that aren't coffee

Brewing up flavors... that aren't coffee

Anyone who has their own kitchen has picked up some gadget they thought would be a game changer. They religiously use it for a week or two and then it’s forgotten because the novelty wears off. That's exactly what happened with our SodaStream Terra.

I'd rather stay in a hotel than a pushy, intrusive Airbnb house

I'd rather stay in a hotel than a pushy, intrusive Airbnb house

When Airbnb first burst onto the scene, I, like many others, was instantly captivated. It felt revolutionary, a breath of fresh air in the often-stuffy world of travel accommodation. The idea was simple, yet brilliant: why stay in an impersonal hotel room when you could live like a local, stepping into someone else's beautifully curated home, even if just for a few days?

At first I thought Adventure Science Center in Nashville would be for kids. Maybe it is to a certain extent but adults can have a fun time, too. Turn me loose in anything I can light up or make loud and I'm all in.

Just sing the national anthem, don't 'make it your own'

I was recently passing one of our TVs that was showing a racecar event, the kind where the roar of the engines is a familiar soundtrack. As the spectacle ramped up, the announcers prepared viewers for the opening ceremony, of sorts.

I can't stand my mother-in-law

My husband is a momma's boy but I can't stand her. He insists on having regular dinners at our house and having her over all the time. I'm tempted to make other plans so I don't have to be around when she comes over. How do I keep her from encroaching on my home?

Let's see 'em. Show us!

Every other day the world is treated to another vicious video of a teenager being attacked at school while onlookers giggle and record with their phones. (And I use the word “treated” sarcastically because the videos are usually disgustingly disturbing.)

Always the back-up singer and never the headliner. That’s the story of Drew’s life. Once Drew discovered musicals, his life was one big song – whether you wanted to hear it or not. For the most part, it’s the latter.

This does your body good...night sleep!

As someone who is perpetually hot (you've seen me -- you know!), especially at night, finding a body pillow that doesn't turn into a personal furnace has been a lifelong quest -- especially here in West Hollywood. Enter the Plufl Hugl Cooling Body Pillow, promising comfort and temperature regulation in one big, cuddly package.

Sometimes a job is just a job, it's not a life

Sometimes a job is just a job, it's not a life

Let's be unequivocally clear: your workplace is not your family. And honestly, when companies insist on presenting their workforce as a "family," I find it utterly obnoxious, bordering on insulting.

Blindfolded and harnessed

Montreal is usually known for its food. At least, that was my take when researching the Canadian city. The French thing, as a Californian, scared me a little bit because I thought I would feel like I would be lost in a foreign country. I guess, in a sense, I was.

Am I the only one who hates email?

There are moments in life that stick with you – your first car, your first terrible haircut, the first time you realized that artisanal kale smoothies were actually just a fancy way to drink grass.

I'll admit I'm not the biggest techie. In fact, if I could just keep all of the current technology I have now and never upgrade, I'd be just fine with that. Alas, that's not the world we live in.

You want access to my what?

To play a casino game on my phone I needed to give the app access to my address book, photos, videos and grant permission to record audio. Hmm… now, let’s see if I can figure out how my personal information and files could be compromised.
