I was at brunch the other day next to a loud group of young twenty-something women. One of them was blabbing about how, the night before, she walked out of a date after 15 minutes. She described the guy as nice, but dorky and boring. Apparently, they had zero chemistry. She picked up her purse, threw down money for the drink and walked right out of there.

One of my closest single girlfriends just came back from a solo Eat, Pray, Love type trip. She bopped around the world for six full weeks and, I swear, she’s come back a happier, healthier person.

You know I love me some Housewives. I have really good girlfriends on the show, but I also love watching just because it’s good entertainment. And I have to say, this season of Real Housewives of Orange County is starting off particularly strong. I’m fascinated by Gina Kirschenheiter. She’s bold and brash in a way I love and I’m impressed with how she’s handling this split with her husband. She’s so calm and mature about the whole thing. It’s really amazing. Read more
