Lauren Sanchez’s Inauguration Fashion Faux Pas

Lauren Sanchez opted for a white suit to the 2025 Presidential Inauguration, and so many are up in arms about her look. Styled by Kelly Johnson, the Alexander McQueen suit was previously worn by the author and journalist when she spoke at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit on September 11, 2024. Is re-wearing an outfit the fashion faux pas, or does this particular style lead to raised eyebrows? Although I love the fantasy of fashion, what I love even more is when we get realistic about how often we wear…

How on earth can a pre-shampoo routine lead to a perfect bun when shampoo is used to wash the hair (not styling)? Take a peek at the video above as I walk you through the steps. My pre-shampoo routine…

Resources For The Los Angeles Fires

Los Angeles is known to experience fires and earthquakes, but the Pacific Palisades fire is a disaster that the residents have never seen before.

Expanding to more than 17,200 acres, the Palisades fire left thousands of people displaced from their homes. What makes this so devastating is there are multiple fires taking place in different parts of…
