"Get out of my dreams, get into my car". I am going to make my sons rehearse that, not because it's smooth but because it's so insanely cheesy that it will catch the girl off guard, and she'll be too flabbergasted NOT to fall for it.
Read MoreLaughter is a gift, we all know that. But the kind of laughter that makes your face hurt and causes a flood of tears to drench your mascara stained cheeks, well, that's a dozen strippers jumping out of a cake.
Read MoreLet me start by saying that I randomly popped into Norma Kamali in NYC last year, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it changed my wardrobe. I'm hooked. The clothing is super comfortable, sexy, fun, and wait for it...pack able. It somehow does not wrinkle. I'd say at this point 75% of my wardrobe is comprised of it.
Read MoreI always love a nod to menswear. I love things "cocked jauntily to the side". Any excuse just to utter that phrase. A newsboy cap is just plain cool. I have quite a collection at this point. Different textures, colors, materials. I feel like the dude in the classic children's book "Caps for Sale". But without the monkey harassment🙈🙉🙊,which works out better for me.
Read MoreThis is my take on a classic Bolognese meat sauce, and I gotta give myself major props for this one. It's so freaking good. It's one of my famous Jesscipes that everyone in my life truly enjoys.
Read MoreOn this particular visit to Israel, this day was easily my favorite. The high salt content in the water causes true buoyancy. It's so much fun to float! Body and spirit are literally and symbolically lifted. The insanely rich amount of minerals in the water does magic for the skin. It actually really heals.
Read MoreOk, this is currently my crack. I'll begin by saying I have a massive Jeremih obsession. He has a very, very special voice. It is like liquid chocolate that is simultaneously hot and cold. It both excites and calms me, and draws me deep into any song he either sings or guests on. He's one of those artists that elevates any material. This song is a master class in collaboration, led by Dean of the Department, DJ KHALED!!!!
Read MoreOut the gate, it is the most comfortable way to dress that doesn't involve the words "pajama jeans". Or "athleisure" (how did that become a word?). I legit felt like Stevie Nicks shooting an album cover in this ensemble.
Read MoreMy Grandma Shirley made the best applesauce. It was a staple for her, and in my home it is as well. I make it each week, and it's one of the very few things we all like. The secret is using Cortland apples, as well as keeping the skin on during cooking.
Read MoreThank you to all my viewers who were in the delivery room last week, ready to catch this blog baby as I pushed it out. Welcome to those of you now coming to visit it in the nursery. It truly takes a village to raise a child. I need all of you. As a show of thanks, below is a bonus song that honors the Rock and Roll time period that I have always been so magnetically drawn to.
Read MoreWhen we like or purchase items with slogans on them, it's because on some level we agree with what's being said. It's as if we are using the shirt or the bag to speak for us, but it's a weird crutch. It's like “hey man, I bought something that says "Badass", so I MUST be one!!”
Read MoreI adore fashion. But for me, it must look effortless. I am an organic human to the core in all I do. If an ensemble took more than a few minutes of thought, and appears to be based on too much effort, I feel uncomfortable and whip it off. I am never happy looking rehearsed. If I have to overthink it, no bueno. I wear my clothes, they do not wear me. Never ever let an inanimate object overpower you. It’s your message, what you wear gets life from YOU! That’s why I prefer sexy, undone hair, natural nails and makeup.
Read MoreI adore food. Eating it, cooking it, grocery shopping, ordering in restaurants. A supermarket for me, or better yet, an outdoor market is a Zen space where I at once relax and also feel sparks of excitement at what I can create. The colors, textures, literally endless possibilities. I’m grateful my deep love of creativity translates into feeding others.
Read MoreMusic is my life. Always been breath to me. I have chased the feeling music brings me like a junkie chasing her next fix. Music is the only thing that can truly distract me from the messiness of my thoughts. The beats enter my body, pour through my bloodstreams, and I’m in the zone.
Read MoreSo I'm on this feverish kick not only to live life to the fullest, but to document it. Having been so shaken to the core by my Mother in Law's untimely passing, I am furiously making and capturing memories for myself and my family. I wish we had more of her life on record. It's a mix of trying to squeeze as much as possible out of the present, while securing our emotional future. As morose as it sounds, there is no way around us simply not knowing how much time we have. We cannot control the length of our lives, though we try so very hard, but we can absolutely control the quality. Hey, I'm too much of a New York Jew to not obsess about death.
