I'm a total beauty product junkie, and my favorite part about receiving a package from Sephora in the mail isn't the product I actually ordered... It's the samples. Maybe it's my Grandpa Gil's genes (he used to sneak butter dishes out of restaurants to use them for cat food), but nothing gives me a rush like snagging something awesome for free. And beauty products are so expensive these days; I feel like such a chump when I buy something I read was amazing, and it's a let down. Plus, once I find something I like, I stick to it (like that pink dress I wore every day for a year when I was a kid). So, samples are a commitment-free way to test drive something new. And this lipstick, which I discovered through a sample, is my new go-to...View Article

We asked our bestie (and my bridesmaid) Barbara's daughter Matisse to be our flower girl this weekend. As you can see in this video, she did NOT have the response we were hoping for...View Article

In the latest installment of Coffee With Friends, I'm super excited to introduce you to my dear friend Leah Sprecher, who I met, wrote and performed with in The Groundlings Sunday Company. She's a hilarious triple threat - not only can she write and act, she can also sing and dance (so I guess she's technically a quadruple threat) - and is gorgeous, AND is a former Rockette. But you can't hate her because she's also a kind and wonderful human. She wrote and stars in a one-woman show called "Old Lady Parts" that incorporates all of the above-stated talents, and it is spectacular. I saw it when it first premiered at The Groundlings, and you can see it tomorrow night, June 9th, at The Rockwell here in L.A. (use discount code OLDLADY20 courtesy of Leah!) I'm chatting with her here about how the show came to be, and her advice for aspiring comedians...View Article

Tony and I are less than two months out from our wedding, and all of the final stages of planning are kicking into high gear. We just found out that Tony's schedule will allow us to go on a honeymoon, so we're having the most fun scrambling to figure out where to go (please comment below with any ideas!!) I'm still riding the happiness high from last weekend's perfect bridal shower (as I write this, I'm listening to the playlist my sweet friend Corey's boyfriend made especially for the party), and am looking forward to a weekend packed with All Things Wedding - we're trying to track down a tuxedo for Tony, and are shopping for our wedding rings tomorrow! Here are all the things that put a smile on my face this week... I hope you have a fabulous weekend packed with over-priced diamonds, beautiful soul music, unaffordable tuxedos and leftover cake, too! HAPPY FRIDAY!View Article

Hola Dudes and Dudettes,
Annie and I just got back from my first tuxedo fitting and I need to cut some weight for the wedding ASAP, like Foxcatcher style! I'm taking over HITH for the day because Annie had to get laser beams shot into her face or eyes or something, but I'm totally in love with her face and everything about her, so that's tight. The wedding is only 58 days away...View Article

I know that at its core, this wedding is really about Tony and me and the life we're creating together, so this may seem silly to say, but (aside from the day Tony proposed), the wedding has never felt more real than this past Saturday, at my bridal shower. I've been planning the wedding for so long that Pinterest is haunting my dreams. I've spent more time agonizing over the logistics of parking and who we've forgotten off the guest list than I have thinking about what I'll say to Tony in my vows (I know. I'm ashamed.) But this Saturday was all about the women I love who love me, coming together to support and celebrate me...View Article

This weekend was a whirlwind of happiness with my bridal shower (blog on that epic magic tomorrow!), Tony's School of Rock wrap party, and having three of the women I love most in this world in L.A. - my childhood bestie and co-Maid of Honor Jax, my mom and my Grandma Marilyn. It was all capped off by my very first wedding gown fitting yesterday!View Article

Four years ago today, Tony took me on our first date and asked me to be his girlfriend (he moves fast). Today is my bridal shower and, two months from Monday, I'll marry him. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. In honor of our anniversary, I'm re-sharing The Dateiversary Anniversary, which I wrote last year about all the reasons why I love him...View Article
