8 Was That a Heart Attack or Am I Just Tired?
I was shocked when I first heard that heart disease is the leading cause of death amongst women. It's not something many people talk about, at least not in the same way as breast cancer or obesity. Since I associate heart attacks more with men, I wasn't too surprised to hear that a lot of other women are misinformed too. A study found that almost half of 2,300 women surveyed wouldn't call 911 if Read more
It's February and I'm seeing red! I can't wait to celebrate Valentine's Day in the snow where I'll be shredding all weekend long — err, trying to not fall, that is. Since this month is all about hearts, let's see how well you know yours. Take the Quiz Read more
I'm not a huge fan of overly cutesy Valentine's Day furniture and accessories, so I was surprised by how much I like this Jardin Table and Two Chairs ($249). It has such a great old-timey ice cream parlor vibe, and the heart design on the chair back is just subtle enough to be noticed while not drawing too much attention to itself. Love It or Hate It?

Admittedly, my musical taste veers toward masculine players. My favorite genre is rock, and though some females definitely rock (Debbie Harry, Stevie Nicks, Chrissie Hynde, Janis!), most of my favorites are male bands. But when I discovered the sister duo that is Heart, I found female refuge. The Wilson sisters — Ann the brunette, Nancy the blonde — were so cool. I love to watch live Read more

Rowling has won her copyright infringement lawsuit against a fan who wanted to publish a Harry Potter encyclopedia. — AP Spike Lee is working on a sequel to Inside Man. — Hollywood Reporter 24 is shutting down production for two weeks to rewrite scripts and figure out the end to the next season. — Zap2it The Stand Up to Cancer telethon and associated fundraising efforts made $100 Read more
I know you like to kiss and make out because it's an expression of how much you care about someone (and it feels good too!), but getting intimate can also be good for your heart and your health. I wouldn't equate it with going for a run, but things you do with your partner are definitely considered exercise. Remember that anything that uses your muscles or burns calories makes you strong and Read more
You can never go wrong with a well-designed gocco print card, tagged with a catch phrase or a classic pun. That's why the Paper Wren You Float My Boat Card ($3.50) is just my style. I'm loving the somewhat retro teal anchors and ships; they've got me mouthing "Ahoy There"! Plus, the chartreuse color of the hearts makes any love-dovey notions a notch less saccharine sweet. I also might add that Read more
Here's a hypothetical situation: You've been with your man for seven years and have celebrated your anniversaries in all sorts of crazy ways. The year's plans are to hit up a new restaurant in town and indulge in some yummy food. Since you have been together long enough, you don't need really to stress much about what you'll wear. Still, you want to look pretty for your man, even if he has seen Read more
