A while back, the talented designer Sandra Evertson sent me some of the items in her Relics and Artifacts line of cast resin. They look so beautiful on their own, I wasn't sure how I would decorate them. But with Star Wars fever in full swing just days un ...
First of all, let's get one thing straight. I am not wearing confederate flags on my lapels. They're British union jacks. (I used to be a British citizen before I was an American citizen.) And now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about the b ...
My show "Style with a Smile" airs on the Home+ channel in Israel, so I'm pretty much an honorary Jew. I've been been learning a lot about Jewish traditions, and one of them is a Tzedakah box. Tzedakah means charity, which is a fundamental mitzvah in Jewis ...
