There’s a lot of noise in the media right now about the diet and weight-loss culture. I’m not going to claim that I haven’t fallen down that rabbit hole or have wondered whether I should get that “magic shot” that everyone across America (and not just rich celebrities) seems to be getting. I also don’t think that people should be vilified if they do decide to go that route because if it works for them and they have a medical team or doctor … [Read more...]

Pamela Adlon_Ilana Glazer on the set of Babes

Last week I saw an early screening of Babes, starring Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau. Not only is Ilana a lead actress in the film, but she also co-wrote the screenplay with Josh Rabinowitz. Babes is director Pamela Adlon’s feature-length directorial debut and the subject matter is one that she is very familiar with. After all, she is the co-creator, writer/director and star of FX’s Better Things a TV show about a single mom who is a … [Read more...]

Don't Tell Mom - Nicole Richie and Simone Joy Jones

This was a busy week and I haven’t written one of these "Friday Feels" blog posts in a long time. With two fun events happening in the same week, I thought I’d share a quick recap!

While certain parts of the country … [Read more...]

Cheers to Financial Freedom - Erin Gore_headshot

Thankfully there is Cheers to Financial … [Read more...]
