Ladies, who is the clueless authority that said exercise had to be a boring chore? Let’s all hang him by his toes. The best way to shape and sculpt those lovely silhouettes of yours is to get them moving in whatever way gets them to move again and again. So why not sculpt with revitalizing music coursing through your being, a gentleman on your arm (or not), a smile embracing your lovely face, and the night at your beck and call! In order to claim the kind of curves that demand respect, drive men to their knees, and beg your little black dress to dazzle, you must make exercise a way of life and not “a thing to do.”

Every Secret Crime by Doug M. Cummings is a murder mystery set in Falcon Ridge, a wealthy suburb of Chicago. Local TV reporter Reno McCarthy sets out to solve the crime, having noticed early on that something is not quite right with the investigation.

Two other books I’ve recently enjoyed fall under the category of Christian fiction, as they have to do with miracles: River Rising by Athol Dickson and The Prodigy by Alton Gansky.

I had no idea when I started reading Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth that I’d be interested in the building of a church. Yet the plot and counterplots surrounding the lives of the principal characters were so captivating and engrossing that I found myself reading far into the night and early morning, not wanting to put the book down.

The earth is in trouble. The news is rife with reports about natural disasters caused by man-made activities, causing many of us to fear. But is the earth really in danger, or are we in danger of extinction?

The only way I’m getting into a “teeny-weeny bikini” is if I make it my mantra to make it a fit and firm summer. I used to be one of those 5-days-a-week gym goers who was able to slip off her heels and slip on her running shoes almost simultaneously. That was about two years ago, when several other factors didn’t zap my energy, three of them being: work, work, and work.

This morning I had just washed my hair and was staring at a white box which contained an invention publicist/co-inventor Anthony Turk sent me to try out. I decided to try it after hearing about how women’s lives have been made a little easier, at least when it comes to blow-drying their hair. Because of the heat during summer in Los Angeles, blow-drying my hair was the last thing I have wanted to do. So I have been wearing it—how should I say this—au naturel. I opened the box and stared for a minute at the contraption. It looked complicated. But I pulled the device out, followed the directions, and when I was done . . . . I emerged with salon blow-dried hair!

Lisa Curran’s line consists of a sophisticated, versatile collection of swimsuits. The styles are tailored-made for just about every type of woman, with suits ranging from skimpy to a more modest swimsuit that hides the tummy and allows for bigger bust lines. Curran’s swimwear has been featured in numerous publications (Glamour, In Style, Allure, Self, Sports Illustrated, Seventeen, and More) and worn by countless celebrities (Drew Barrymore, Jenny McCarthy, and Kaye Walsh).

Nicole Saenz is the brainchild behind Nicolita, which is a swimsuit line with a Latin/Cuban flair and just the right amount of retro “old Hollywood.” Her swimsuits flatter the figure and really do justice to the woman with curves. As I sit here writing this, I’m wearing my Nicolta swimsuit that Nicole gave me when we first met all those years ago. And excuse my expression, but I do have a little junk in my trunk. As I close my eyes, I like to envision myself as maybe Raquel Welch or Sophia Loren, walking down Saint Tropez or perhaps stranded on a desert island with Carey Grant with one common theme—all cameras on me, the leading lady, wearing Nicolita.
