    McDonald's fries and the Latte's reel me in. I get their skimpy salads. Had not thought to add a burger for extra protein ~ I toss bun if they won't "hold" it - diabetes carb counting. To the pico/guac on my garden salad! Thanks.

    Their salads now have five types of greens (Including spinach and kale!) and I have been adding all the sandwich "guts" (no bun) to the top of the salad. Try the maple bacon Dijon on the salad with extra Dijon for the dressing...YUMMY!!!

    Sam, Thank you for this wonderful post about my grandfather, Bob. It truly made me happy. Everything you said about him and his personality are spot on! He retired from teaching when I was very young, but he was always an English teacher for me! I was given the gift of being great at English and Literature (which probably came from him), but he still helped me out with my papers and resumés throughout college. We always had so much to talk about when it came to papers, books, poems, etc. Luckily, he was able to see one of his grandchildren graduate from college before he passed away (me). We were very close, and I miss him so much. Not having him anymore is unimaginably difficultfor me. However, I'm very happy to hear that he had such a huge impact on you. It means a lot to me. Thank you for writing this article. It has made me even more proud of my grandfather than I already was! - Caitlin Brosnahan

    Caitlin, Your grandfather was one of a kind! I hope this brings your family some comfort and I thank you all so much for sharing him with us. He truly encouraged every single student to be MORE than they were, and there is NO greater gift an educator can give.

    Keep it going! We have lots more to share but saying NO more often allows us to say YES to the things we really want to, right? It's a process and I'm 47 and still figuring it all out. Thanks for your feedback!

    Jay, YES!! Fashion is theatrical and many people grow up and forget how empowering those moments were as kids! I would LOVE to have you contribute an article on men's style sometime! Sadly, I think many guys are missing the mark.

    Sam I love this three ways to wear! It's hard to pick a favorite look but I think the third, with distressed denim just wins. Gonna try this with my skirt, thanks for the inspo! Xx

    Good morning, Moxie Mama! It should come as no surprise when I tell you, we are pretty much on the same page. My loves: Diane Krueger Allison Williams Dakota Johnson Laura Dern These women nailed it! Believe it or not, although it didn't photograph well, I loved something about Sarah Jessica Parker.. When she came out on stage, I was wowed. Perhaps it is her innate ability to "own it". I have to say, this might be the first time I've been disappointed in Kate Hudson. Hugs and happy new year wishes to you!

    You totally nailed it! My hubby is 6ft 4 (a whole foot taller than me) so I'm not sure I'll have as much success as you but I'm gonna go raid his closet now to see what I can find!

    My hubby is 6'2" and the son whose closet I raid is 6'4" so I get it! I've actually had some shirts of my husbands cut down a bit once he's retired them. Still roomy but less voluminous~

    I’ve been wanting to try charcoal tooth-whitening for forever! I actually think I WILL try it because, regardless of the “my teeth are dried lava” look it creates DURING the process, your results are awesome!

    Well this post lifted my heart, and not because you mentioned Parks & Rec, which is an all-time favorite of mine, but you cherish the power and necessity of female friendship. Women happy and supporting one another is when I see women at their most beautiful. Your energy lifted me up on this recovery day. We WILL grab that coffee sometime and let's have no agenda when we do, okay? Happy Galentine's Day Sam!
