Smart. Sexy. Fun.
We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! Ah, the wish list. It made a lovely debut when we were little, often addressed to a certain Mr. Claus.

And now that we are adults, Read more

I have to admit I love presents, especially Christmas presents! I love giving them, and I love getting them. Not only do they look pretty under the tree, but there's also something exciting about staring at them, shaking them, and guessing what's inside all that wrapping paper.

Later in the day, Jen spent one-on-one time with her eldest daughter, Violet, after school. Jen's been on a break from acting since giving birth to Samuel earlier this year, though she's making her debut on the Internet in Read more
What do you give a photography pal who already has every camera, lens, and accessory under the sun? Gift skin ink of the nonpermanent variety in the form of the Tattly Camera Tattoo Set ($25). Since the photographers we know are rarely without a camera, a tattoo of any duration seems like a natural next step.

We say goodbye to McKinley High's graduating class of 2012 on this week's season finale of Glee, and while we'll be seeing a lot of these characters next year, for some, it was their swan song (pardon the pun). Everyone is feeling nostalgic, not the least of whom is Mr. Schue, who gives the kids an assignment of picking a goodbye song. The episode is mostly devoted to the characters giving each Read more
We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Fitness Magazine here on FitSugar! Over the next few months, families will travel across the U.S. via plane, train or car during summer road trips. Kacie Fischer will be covering the same distance (nearly 4,000 miles, on her route), but on inline skates. . . and in just 74 days. If she reaches her goal, Fischer will also be breaking five Read more
Do you have what it takes to buy a home? Consider this exhaustive guide from Kiplinger. Tired of renting? It could be a great time to buy your first home.
