This past weekend it felt like summer even though it was only the second weekend of May. After a long week of teaching and tennis, I was more than ready for a day of relaxing at the lake. (I’m playing on two USTA teams and had four matches this week, two of which started at…
In March I first tried Rocksbox, a jewelry subscription service similar to Stitch Fix. A Rocksbox stylist sends three pieces of jewelry based on a style profile and wish list that you complete when you sign up. After the jewelry arrives, you wear it as often as you’d like for a month. At the end…

School pride is a big thing around here and it probably is in your area as well. When my friend Sally’s daughter went off to college, she noticed that the majority of fan gear was casual: ball caps, t-shirts, sweat shirts and sweat pants. Wanting something more fashion forward, Sally put her art skills to…
