This month has been crazy. I’ll have articles in Newsday (I report on a health topic about once a month), Fodors.com (I’m the health/beauty travel blogger!), CBS’s Mancave Daily (I’m doing a beauty+brains series)  Parenting magazine (I’ll have articles in the next 3-4 issues!), Long Island Pulse (I write beauty reviews in each issue) and more.

Also check out BELLA magazine, I’m the beauty editor and I produce the “Beauty Breakthroughs” section and in the current issue, I also wrote a fun feature article profiling 4 savvy small biz owners. Look for it on newsstands, or read it here:  LEAP OF FAITH.

1. My essay for Parenting magazine is in the February issue. They were chatting about it on the Today show (!) and OMG… CNN covered it as well. Yikes–lots of comments, looks like the essay about ‘why women  lie’  hit a nerve.  

2. I had two (very meaty) health articles in Newsday!  So far, I covered fitness: Made for TV Moves and beauty Foods to Help You Glow. Lots more articles are on the way. If you get the paper, keep your eyes out for my work in the health sections (pages B8-B9).

3. Did I mention I’m now the beauty editor of BELLA magazine? Sooo excited. It’s a beautiful, positive lifestyle print magazine:  www.bellanyc.com In the current issue I covered 5 pages of beauty (lots of tips and cool products)  and I wrote a HOT CHEFS feature–listing the top 10 hottest chefs in the region. (Apparently, I can stand the heat in the kitchen!)

4. I’m also doing beauty topics for the very well known Long Island Pulse  lifestyle/luxury publication.  Look for my first beauty review in the Feb issue: Is Shellac Worth the Splurge?

5. I’m the resident ‘cave-babe’ for CBS’s Mancave Daily (That ought to gloss up my resume, huh?) My latest: Buy Your Way Out of the Dog House,  SuperBowl Survival Kit and How to Make A Mean Chili

6. I’ve been the Parenting and Family Life columnist for The Long Island Exchange for many years–my latest is a Family Travel Guide to Sarasota.

7.  And yet another fun feather for my cap: I’m also a resident reviewer for Long Island Resturant News.  Most recent reviews: Nisen in Commack and Mirabelle in Stony Brook

 In the current  holiday issue (with the very handsome Bret Michaels on the cover)  I cover the entire “Beauty Breakthroughs” section and I also wrote a feature in the middle of the book, “Create a Lavish Holiday Look” where I rounded up some fun items to make the holidays extra festive.  Oooh, and there’s a little blurb about me on the contributor’s page.

If you see the magazine on newsstands, please pick up a copy–so many great articles in there.

• Beauty: The latest issue of BELLA just hit newsstands–please check out the “Beauty  Breakthrough” pages (there’s a bunch of them!)…lots of cool products and beauty tips from me! Here’s page 1 and a sneak peek:

If you’re SO not a morning person but want to rise and shine and get your workouts out of the way bright and early–than read on!

But first…

Many have asked if I have any other funny essays. I wrote an essay for American Baby on how I tell the kids “The Man” will come if they are bad–that was rather laughable.  But if you remember, I had a (totally not funny at the time) health topic that I whipped up an essay about for SELF magazine. I got a lot of letters when this baby hit newsstands…At first I wanted to run for the hills but so so so many people thought it was funny. And the editors really saved my behind because this is a very watered-down version of the original I sent.

Well, here goes…consider yourself warned!

Oh–and here are those Mancave clips in hopes to try to reclaim my coolness.

I’m dishing about my…girl crush! Check it out!

I also have a bunch of fun beauty articles that span 5 pages in this issue, too. Plenty of product suggestions and great beauty advice in the “Beauty Breakthrough” section I wrote. Here’s a little peek, the rest is in the magazine.
