Smart. Sexy. Fun.
Erotomania is dreaming that someone you don't know, usually a celebrity, is in love with you. It's one of the most common themes in dreams, and I think I had one. There was nothing erotic about it, but it was certainly narcissistic enough. I dreamed I was in a relationship with a celebrity I can't remember. Someone ultrafamous who I'm not particularly attracted or not attracted to — maybe Read more
Whether you think dreams are a window to the unconscious or just exercise for the brain, we all dream the same things. Sure the details vary, and we interpret them differently, but studies show themes transcend culture. A new study set out to see what dreams are the most common and which reoccur (more than three times) the most frequently only to find that dream prevalence and reoccurrence are Read more
For this week's iPhone App of the Week, it's not about makeovers or try-on polish swatches. This week, it's about sweet dreams. However, it wasn't actually beauty that inspired me to purchase the MindWave App ($2) about a year ago. Instead, I was searching for something "natural" to help provide headache relief. While I didn't find that my migraines magically disappeared (more like slightly Read more
Two psychologists have studied over 1,000 people's dreams (join in here), to examine how people assign meaning to them. Turns out we only bother to interpret the ones our waking selves agree with. How so? Let's say you dream your partner saved you from a burning house in one dream and cheated on you in another. You'd probably shake the latter off as a silly dream, and look up "house, burning" in Read more
As I hinted a few months ago, Tommy Hilfiger's new fragrance, Dreaming, is an attempt to appeal to a slightly more mature audience than its teenage base. It is supposed to emulate "the sensation of falling in love," and supposed to make women feel "seductive, tempting, and inviting." Based on the description, I was hoping for something a little more complex. Dreaming is floral at first, and then Read more
Dreams can be so bizarre and seem so real. There have been times when I've dreamt about something horrible happening in my life, like being lost or someone passing away. In my dream I'm crying, but then I start crying for real, and my sobbing actually wakes me up. It's such a strange feeling to wake up so sad and scared, but such a relief to realize that it wasn't real. I've also had dreams where Read more
Now, I've never been a big fan of Tommy Hilfiger's clothing, in part because it's one of those lines that slaps the company logo all over the place. But fragrance is another story, and with his forthcoming scent, Mr. Hilfiger is ditching the All-American theme for a more sophisticated one. Set to launch in February of next year, Dreaming is intended to reach a customer who's more womanly, less Read more

I wouldn't dream of traveling without my trusty plastic folder! Be it for business or pleasure, I recycle the same one, slightly larger than a standard piece of paper that I've used since my college days. Mine's hot pink so it stands out in my travel tote amid magazines and other goodies and extra sturdy with a Velcro flap so things stay in better than pocketed, paper alternatives. While there Read more
