There seems to be an annoying pressure that accompanies Spring Break. You open up your favorite social app, and right there is someone enjoying their break much more than you. It used to be okay to just hang out at home during Spring break; now it has to be called a staycation to make the time off feel worthy; and that's if you can weather the sunny posts from your friends who have chosen to vacation someplace warm and (usually) expensive.

I always wonder what those who live in Spring break destinations like Orlando or California do during their breaks. Do they house a lot of friends who want to experience a change of pace, or do they travel somewhere cold?

Regionally, Spring break happens at different times. With the winter this entire country is rebounding from, I'm expecting the airlines to be reporting good profits, and theme parks to be close to capacity. Staycations, on the other hand, offer much more quality radio time while your listener enjoys the benefits of their home city. Truth be told most people don't really enjoy or know of everything their town has to offer unless it's through a child's field trip or Groupon. What can you remind her to check out while she has some time off?

There's an old Bob Newhart (remember him?) sketch that has him playing a therapist that sits across a desk from a new patient. He tells her he will only need five minutes to fix her problems. As she unravels her mind, he listens carefully for the first minute, asks a ...

Working out with the same group of people forms a unique bond of understanding. There is a shared knowledge, and your goal is similar. When you grow accustomed to seeing the same people punch through the same workout of choice there's an odd sense of comfort and ...

My Cardiologist co-hosted with me on the air for Go Red for Women Day. She is a brilliant doctor, highly active in building awareness that heart disease is the number one killer of women. I am one of those women who had heart disease. My story is not the norm as a ...

Valentines candy, Easter goodies, sunscreen and bathing suits line store shelves one behind the other, offering a chance to eat a chocolate truffle, or a marshmallow chick, while wearing a tankini. Or, not. Valentine treats go on sale February 15, so if conversation ...

Summer is happening right now, even if you are living in a place that has been in the throws of winter (that's a majority of our beautiful country) women are thinking about summer. This is the season to seal your child's slot for any popular summer camp. I can ...

I am all about the anti-resolution; the beginning of a New Year becomes stressful to me the more I try to hold to a plan made with the best intention, yet usually leads to failure. However, living a healthy lifestyle, makes sense and that's the route many try to take ...

"People eat with their eyes." This is a common response on a lot of foodie type shows. It's true, if that snowman cake looks fluffy and full of coconut, our mind goes directly to how delicious it must be. There's a television commercial running where a woman shows ...

"That's really wrong of @lululemon to extend their #BlackFriday deals when I was so proud of my initial self-control." "Sorry, we're not sorry @Bethbacall. It's time to treat yourself." And so goes my tweet exchange that has garnered a lot of fun response from my ...

It does not take a lot to show thankfulness. This time of the year soup kitchens and non-profits get inundated with requests for volunteer opportunities. These agencies welcome this mass onslaught of help, but wish it happened year round. I can't tell you how many ...
