I’ll be honest, it’s very hard for me to relax. When people tell me they watched six hours of “Friends” re-runs on the weekend I ask “how?” I can’t even sit through an entire movie—my husband has to pause it five times while go get
As a female entrepreneur and mother, I had the privilege of attending the 2018 Mamas Making It Summit last month at The Line Hotel in Los Angeles.
Did you know that statistically as humans we think about ourselves 90% of the time? It makes sense though; we have to be inside our own head and body all day, every day—moving and talking and thinking at a rapid pace; we are truly little
As the founder of Darling, I want to give a special message today to the mothers out there, including my own: You are seen, you are loved and all your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed.
It’s so true; wine calms the mind and is a symbol for relaxation, slow living and contemplation.
If you’ve never been to Los Angeles, you are in for a real treat. I truly believe that each city has a unique personality, a powerful energy and a way of changing you.
It can be overwhelming to know the difference between want and need, materialism and necessary buys.

As a female business owner, lately I’ve been delighted at the amount of women in business that are gathering together to assist, connect and uplift one another in their diverse ventures.
Recently, I was invited by Stilettogal (a media company targeted towards Millennial women in business) to attend the first of an event series called Digital Diva. The event brings in speakers and panelists from various industries to teach women how to build their brands online. On the invitation I noticed that Glamsquad was going to do complimentary hair and makeup touch ups before the panel started, which was just icing on the cake given that we were also privileged to hear from two very successful women: Marleine Pacilio, Director of Digital Global OPI Products and Katie Ann Rosen Kitchens, Co-founder of FabFitFun.
After grabbing a cupcake and a lovely glass of white wine, I settled in at my table with open ears to learn from this fabulous panel.
Growing up, I wanted to be a professional figure skater — wait, who didn’t? I would watch the likes of Oksana Baiul, Nancy Kerrigan and Kurt Browning (whom I loved because he has my same birthday) and my heart would soar with dreams of becoming an elite athlete.
There was something about their confidence, the beauty of their talent and elegance that drew me in. In 7th grade, I decided to get serious. I told my mom I wanted to be homeschooled in order to take figure skating lessons every morning at 6am and ballet lessons in the evening so I could become a competitive skater.
Compete I did. Make it to the Olympics? Not really … but it’ still a secret skill that I can bust out around the holidays on the local skating rink [smile].
Planning for our first big “adventure” to Europe, my husband and I expected to find an easy way to jump to and from the seven countries we wanted to visit with ease. Not “planners” by nature [smile] we of course waited until our flight date

So freely did Elvis Presley “bump, grind, and shimmy” around on stage that Ed Sullivan pronounced him “unfit for a family audience” in the 1950s. However, after selling millions of hit singles, in 1956 Sullivan reluctantly hired Elvis to perform, yet still insisted that Presley
Sometimes in life we forget the basic fundamentals of being human. Caught up in all our technology--phones, texts, tweets, Facebook posts, Instagram--or whatever your go-to is, we need to remember that face-to- face time is the most valuable gift we can give one another. Even
