Does Your Guy Enjoy a Little Pampering?
On Thursday in Los Angeles, Rob Kardashian, from E!'s reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, was spotted getting a manicure, pedicure and a neck and shoulder massage at a local salon. A lot of men feel that this kind of thing is just for the ladies, but I think it's great when guys groom their hands and toes.
Typically they just go for a buff job instead of getting any colour applied, but it keeps their cuticles and calluses smooth, and it also helps exfoliate their dry, scruffy feet.
Lessons From the White House Chef
Part of Michelle Obama's master plan to reform eating habits in this country includes the directive of a young chef named Sam Kass. Kass has been the Obamas' personal chef for several years now, and when the Obamas packed up and moved to the White House, he did too.

How Often Do You Support Small Businesses?
It's a sad fact that the recession is bringing many family-run businesses to an end.

Just when Kanye West was defending "Single Ladies" as one of the best songs of all time, Glee swoops in with an entire episode dedicated to the tune.

Fab Tip: Resole Your Brand New Shoes
Geppetto, the local shoe cobbler, and I have a very special relationship. See, I take my weathered, beat-up, neglected shoes to him and he magically turns them back into the beautiful creations they used to be before I exposed them to life's harsh elements. Such handiwork costs a pretty penny, but it's well worth it.
American Craft Council Show Kicks Off Today in SF
It's no secret that crafting has experienced a rebirth over the past few years. But there's a difference between the découpage magnets I make for my refrigerator and May Luk's handmade ceramic vases with antique-inspired illustrations. It's called skill.

Is It Fair For Public Schools to Ask Parents to Contribute?
The school bell's ringing, but are there enough teachers to adequately educate your child? That's the question many public school districts face as budget cuts have forced administrators to remove special ed teachers, aides and supplies from our kids' classrooms.
