Although those traits might Read more
I've always chalked up my rare party planning to the fact that I get stressed easily trying to please a large group of people all at once. But since I've discovered an increasing number of easy killer apps, I've begun to second-guess myself. Case in point: this smoked mozzarella spread. It's meatless, mind-bogglingly easy, doesn't require cooking, and only calls for four ingredients. And with its Read more

The croquembouche is most certainly a delicious trend – we had one at our wedding and it was quite a hit! — but these magnificent sweet sculptures are more complicated than they may appear. To get an inside look at how these profiterole towers Read more
Miranda Kerr always looks beautiful, but last night at an NYC event, she was absolutely radiant. While you can chalk it up to good, clean living, it's also excellent proof that a luminizer can be a girl's best friend. To create Miranda's lit-from-within glow, makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift used her RMS Living Luminizer ($38) multiple ways. First, Swift combined it with concealer to form a glowy Read more
We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! We remember those days long ago — or not so long ago — when we thought the only thing standing between us and a great night out was a fake I.D., and the days when every hurt could be soothed with a new pair of shoes.

My friend just booked a trip to Hawaii on Travelocity.com. It was a great deal, but he was confused about some of the charges on the bill. When I took a look at the receipt, I spotted a $30 charge for Aloha VIP Transfers Oahu that he said he never signed up for. He thought it was mandatory, but when I clicked through the deal myself, I noticed that it was already checked and you can actually opt Read more
