It’s said that a foot fetish is the most common fetish that men have. I would bet money that one look at my piggies after a long winter would cure even the most fervent foot fanatic. My feet have paid the price of wintertime neglect and are hibernating in thick socks and big boots, dreaming <... >

I am unabashedly a tanorexic. I spent a lot of time baking in the sun or in tanning parlors. About ten years ago, a disturbing UV picture exposed the extent of my sun damage and scared me pale…for about a week. Pale is cool. Really. It’s just not me, so I invested in self tanners, <... >

When we were younger, we learned that an apple a day could keep the doctor away. As we got a little older, we learned that wine could do more than just relax us during first dates.

The first and only time I’ve been in Paris was back in 1997. I was backpacking, sleeping in hostels and subsisting on not much more than water and bread. French bread, yes, but bread nonetheless. I only understood French luxury and indulgence as an observer. So it’s nice to know that I can experience some <... >

I’ll admit it, I have lash envy. Every time I see someone-man, woman or child, with long thick dark lashes, I curse my parents for not possessing those genes. I long to batt long luscious lashes across a crowded room and have the person at which they’re being batt-ed not think I have something in <... >

I am a hi-low girl. I can spend over $1000 for the necessary “it” bag but $59.99 for a Zara pencil skirt. I splurge on an anti-aging moisturizer at Bergdorf Goodman, but buy my lip glosses at Jack’s Dollar Store. That’s what makes NYC women so savvy…we know which expenditures are necessary indulgences. I get <... >
