Do Tell: Why Ask, When You Already Know the Answer?

As someone who offers a lot of advice, I’m often asked questions in which it’s clear to me that the asker already knows the answer. In fact, they’re often first to point out that they know exactly what to do, but they’re just unable to do it. I had been thinking a lot about this and then it dawned on me; they’re probably just looking for permission to do the “wrong” thing. I could Read more

Dear Poll: Does It Bother You When People Give Unsolicited Advice?

Dear Poll: Do You Ever Just Pretend to Listen?

If you’re even moderately well mannered, there’s probably been a time or two when you’ve listened to someone else recount a story or gripe over a personal issue that you had absolutely no interest in.

It’s been so nice to have someone to commiserate with over all the bad dates and giggle with after the great late nights.

Is Eavesdropping Impolite?

I love to people watch. I think it's a fun past time as long as you do it in a way that isn't obvious or rude, but what are your thoughts on eavesdropping? It's like people watching but with your ears, and I'll admit that if the opportunity presents itself, I've definitely been one to listen in on other people's conversations. I happen to feel that a little innocent eavesdropping is totally Read more

Self Help:  Keep a Journal

Women spend a lot of time worrying and thinking about things. That's just our nature. If I spend too much time running thoughts or problems over and over in my own head, I get totally stressed out. Plus it clouds my brain and then I can't focus on anything else. Talking to a trusted friend or a therapist is awesome, but sometimes you just want to get your thoughts out without anyone Read more

Killing Them Softly Cannes Review With Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt's gritty new project, Killing Them Softly (formerly titled Cogan's Trade, and based on a book of the same name), made its debut to the press at the Cannes Film Festival this morning.
