Motherhood is not easy. But I want to remind everyone that there are lots of ways to be great at it. Working mothers often feel guilty for splitting their time between home and office, or worse—actually receive criticism for carrying these two roles. But in my opinion, even if have to juggle, you can still…
It’s good to go through life, knowing what you know. For instance, I know not to get into a conversation with my 28 year old son’s best friend about multi-paradigm computer programming language. I know that if a pipe leaks in my house, I send somebody else to Home Depot. But if there’s one thing…
Ah, that special time of year. Spring: the time for falling in love, and cleaning your closet. The time to be strong, and to get yourself to fall out of love with those purple patent sling backs you bought at the Barney’s warehouse sale last season and have worn exactly never. But when it…
Holidays can be fun. Sometimes. If you’re invited to someone else’s home, can hire a celebrity chef or are married to one. For the rest of us mortals, there’s the hours in the kitchen. Cooking. Baking. Getting cookie batter on your vintage Dior blouse. Serving. And then cleaning it all up. It’s one time when…
There is the ideal world. Where you have more than enough time to go to the gym daily, hike mountains, pack in the pilates, and adore your body and the way you look in a bandage dress. Your partner does the dishes every night, without asking, feeds you homemade chocolate chip cookies with no calories,…
They say that on St. Patrick’s Day, everyone is Irish. If only that were true! Chances are, if you are one of the 11.9% of the US population who comes from the emerald isle, you have that gorgeous porcelain skin that makes the rest of us green with envy. However, as beautiful as it can…
Yes, I know you’ve heard it all before. ‘Sun protection is the most important step you can take for the health of your skin.’ Yada, yada, yada. Well, as someone who herself has had a basal carcinoma, I want you to hear it again. And really listen this time. This is your doctor speaking! Sun…
Cold Weather Beauty issues got you down? Well if you are located in one of our cooler areas of the world, the answer most certainly is yes about now. Even in some of the warmer areas, we can suffer from dry skin induced by the elements we encounter almost daily. Our beauty thus suffers!…
By the power invested in me as a dermatologist, friend, and author of this blog, I hereby declare February the month of love. And now that Valentine’s Day is out of the way, we can concentrate on the important stuff—loving yourself. The right way, appreciating who you are and all of your potential, not like…
I’m definitely the first to admit that I love Valentine’s Day, even though I’m no longer in my twenties. But perhaps not for the reasons you’d expect. Believe me I like an ocean view candle-light dinner as much as the next girl. Roses or for that matter any floral arrangement is great. Jewelry is divine.…
With Valentine’s day just around the corner, what better time to think about improving your pucker? The mouth is such a sensuous feature—one we love to play up with lipsticks and glosses. (Be honest, how many tubes of lipcolor are lurking in your makeup bag?!) Too-thin lips may make you feel like your pout is…
If you’re like a lot of people (myself included!), your new year’s resolutions probably include a promise to take better care of yourself and put your best face forward. As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing in my dermatology arsenal better suited to serving that purpose than lasers. And no better time than now to…
