Last weekend, a friend pulled me into a local knitting shop -- her hobby, not mine. I was under-caffeinated, and feared this might trigger a narcoleptic response. To...

On November 25th St. Martins Press will release a book that has already been published--from my quick count--at least five times. This isn't the sixth printing of one book, but rather the sixth different book with a seemingly varied title but the exact same core material. The sixth time is...

It's been a bit of a whirlwind since we launched the International Life magazine and the www.internationallife.tv website both at once within the last month. The project is very diverse - containing fashion, psychology, beauty, business and more. A delirious mix of blogs and galleries.

There's been so...

How far would you go to get Brooke Shields-caliber eyebrows? Some women who have put their brows through the ringer via waxing, tweezing, and shaving are now turning to brow transplants for salvation. Not a far cry from scalp hair restoration (think Hair...

At the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, an Australian observer wrote this letter to the Sydney Morning Herald: "Thank God we got the convicts and they got the Puritans."

For me, the legacy of the Sixties has been my journey from Puritan to convict, or at least renegade. When...

I think it's fair to say the general conversation about the economy borders on, well, the hysterical. I'm certainly no economist (not that they know anything about the economy anyway!) but radical changes in spending and behavior may be completely warranted. Even for people like myself whose job has not...

In this installment of What's My Logo? Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss talks about her eponymous clothing line, inspired by her own shapely figure, whose mission is to create dresses and swimwear for women of all sizes.

If the stress of the economy is starting to show more lines on your face, don't worry because help is on the way. I recently attended the American Society for Dermatological Surgery's annual conference in Orlando, learning about the latest advances in aesthetic medicine. One of the recurrent themes...

Tanya Steel, editor-in-chief of Epicurious.com and co-author of the new book, Real Food for Healthy Kids, mourns the lack of humor in today's food shows, fights for daily indulgences, and dishes on brioche French toast and British accents.

LM: You were born in London and raised here...

You've heard the rumors about European women's uncanny ability to stay slim even while eating buttered croissants for breakfast (France), sausage and beer for lunch (Germany), or deep fried seafood for dinner (Spain). Perhaps you've even done research in the form of spending a week in Paris, ogling the lank...

OMG, this list is, like, sooo amazing! Literally. (Not).

If that sentence made your head want to explode, you're in good company. Researchers at the University of Oxford have compiled a list of the Top 10 Most Irritating Expressions in the English language. You think it's annoying when someone starts...
