I have long hair and prefer to get regular blowouts. When traveling to places off the beaten, that can sometimes be difficult to come by. Before our trip to India I knew that our time in the Tiger Camps would be difficult on my hair so I...
I have always been a big believer in the number 5. Not only was I born on April 5th, but my parents, my sister, and both of my boys have a 5 in their birth dates. So when I realized I was only one country short of...
I wish I could tell you that I found OhZone Clinics after researching the health benefits, but I was actually looking for a place to sweat after feeling bloated for several days in a row. I had heard about OhZone through friends and loved the idea of...

Tie-dye is everywhere this season, and I have to admit I am thrilled! I think it's the Oregonian in me, but I have always loved tie-dye. You have to be careful because you can go overboard, so it's best to pick and choose your pieces. But it...

I am embarrassed to admit, it took me years to work a denim jacket into my wardrobe. They always seemed like they were more suited to the "effortlessly cool girls" and I didn't feel like I was one of them. Once I got my hands on one,...
