Bridal Beauty Countdown: 7 Weeks
Time for part two of our bridal blog series with the jaw-droppingly beautiful Karen Cummings-Palmer (she's the very definition of 'lit-from-within'). She stopped by our offices to chat supplements, skin care, exercise and stress-relief... and left us all feeling serene, inspired (and more than a little bit jealous of her genes (and leather jeans)).
Why are parabens bad?
Where once our Elizabethan counterparts spent their days fretting about whether "to be or not to be", our contemporary selves are plagued with far less existential concerns. To text or not to text.

What would Wes want?) Bill Murray, Adrien Brody and Willem Defoe are also well-up on my it list, so it should come as no surprise to you to learn that "I wanna die" (in the words of Raleigh St. Claire) with excitement over The Grand Budapest Hotel. Although I'm playing it preeeetty cool (not) - after all, Margot Tenenbaum wouldn't hyperventilate with anticipation over a film screening. WWMTD?
