One of my favorite looks for a dressed down day is casual street wear as it provides an urban, edgy look with comfort.
3/4 sleeves offer the perfect complement to changing fall temperatures and paired with a twill camo jogger pant and lace up boots I am ready to make any street resemble a fashion runway.
Unsure of what style shirt best highlights your upper body shape and assets? A raglan sleeve as seen here looks good on nearly everyone as the lines the design creates draw attention to s...
Roasted chicken in 45 minutes? No problem! This technique of starting bone-in chicken breasts on the stovetop and finishing them in a hot oven with vegetables gets a hearty but healthy dinner on the table in a hurry. While everything roasts, you still have time to make a quick pan sauce with shallot and Dijon mustard. Serve with a spinach salad. I’m not a fan of potatoes, so I substitute roasted eggplant, roasted, turnips, squash or cauliflower. Just toss one or more of these root veggies in...

This easy-to-follow program can increase your speed when running, while being more enjoyable. Try it out! Here’s...
I love creamy pesto sauces over pasta dishes but hate the little two digit and sometimes even three digit numbers attached to them! And I’m not just talking calories. It’s the other things like fat, sodium, etc. that exceed daily recommended allowances for three meals, not just one. Creamy sauces are definitely rich and yummy and I do just go for it when I’m feeling the craving because how can you ever replace cream and butter in Alfredo sauce? We've all had those days where we just want a tr...
When it comes to finding a hot fall fashion trend, people often turn to their favorite celebrities for inspiration. While many of the styles may be appropriate for Hollywood, some do not work well for those of us outside the shining lights of Sunset Boulevard. There are several things to avoid when it comes to fall fashion including:
