This is probably a rare situation, but it did let me learn a few things about this fair city I call home, weddings and, of course, love. When you channel all the bridesmaid energy in the universe, it’s truly amazing what can be accomplished. For example, the streets of Oklahoma City were nearly clear during […]

Bead adieu
Without delving too deeply into the history and belief structures behind them, malas are basically used as an aide in meditation. As I’m an avid yogini, one aspect of my practice includes not bending, balancing or moving. In fact, a big part of yoga is staying perfectly still. For an extroverted over-committer like myself, that’s […]

Smoked out
The e-cig can be charged by USB. That’s right; it can be charged. I know this because I got extremely curious after several friends touted the product and I noticed a growing number of e-cig shops popping up across the metro. So one day I stopped into Vapor King (3506 N. Classen Blvd.; 528- 2808) […]

Blown away
And no, it has nothing to do with a Scarface scenario or a … well, you know (and don’t pretend that you don’t). It’s better, actually. While a shopping column on where to get gutter glitter locally would most certainly increase my gangsta street cred, I’m relatively sure it would result in an Orange is […]

Bathing beauties
Sun & Ski Sport By: Heather Brown If not, rectify that and schedule some right now. Take it from me: An entire Oklahoma summer sans a dip in an ocean, lake or pool is enough to drive a person a little mad. First, it’s time to get your paws on some swimwear. Because unless your […]

Dear Dad
It’s that special day set aside to honor the exemplary men in your life. Father’s Day is always a sneaky holiday to me. It’s not that far after Mother’s Day, but it’s far enough that it feels like the Fourth of July will be the next thing on your radar. But, hey, now that you’ve […]

Shady business
Sure, sunglasses look cool. But it’s imperative to have a good pair that blocks out UVB rays and guards your eyes against the harsh shift from indoor to outdoor lighting. Who likes to squint? I don’t. Plus, it can give you wrinkles around your eyes. So just wear sunglasses. Most optometrists carry shades. That’s the […]

Mums for Mum
You will likely fall into two groups: those who have presents and those who now desperately need ideas. When considering a gift for someone, always keep the recipient’s interests in mind. For example: Does she lean green? Does she stay busy with her job and rarely treat herself? Does she appreciate quality time over material […]

From runway to OK!
While OFW is still on a smaller scale than New York, Paris or London fashion weeks, this year’s gathering was bigger and included more events than ever before. In fact, it marked the first in which designers came in from cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Dallas and Chicago. The opportunity for Oklahomans to […]

Love and marriage
Moliere Bridal Am I married? No. But ask me how many times I’ve been a bridesmaid. The answer is 13. I don’t mind, because I find weddings to be generally exciting celebrations of love. In my experience, a happy bride makes all the difference. If she can’t check things off the seemingly endless list of […]
