How many dresses do you have in your closet that you don’t wear?  It seems silly to buy a dress and only wear it once but we all do it!

With Facebook, twitter and instagram it’s like we all walk our very own red carpet every day. Who wants to be photographed in the same dress multiple times?  There’s a way to solve this problem, get you new dresses, and do good by helping WEAVE all at the same time.

Back when I was getting ready to go to the Golden Globes I was encouraged by one of our faithful NOW 100.5 listeners to donate my gown to a high school student that couldn’t afford a prom dress.  I loved the idea!  Every girl remembers her prom and whether it’s good or bad she at least deserves to feel beautiful.

Holiday Shopping Tips

Holiday Shopping Tips

While I’m a huge advocate of online shopping, mostly because I have agoraphobic tendencies, there are times when going to the brick and mortar store is inevitable. Here are a few things I do to lessen my stress:

1) Go first thing in the morning. Seriously, if you get your sorry butt out of bed and get to the store/mall as soon as it opens, the crowds are not as bad as they are at say 11:30 AM. This tip will probably reduce your stress by half... Read More

48 Hours in Santa Cruz

48 Hours in Santa Cruz

By Alanna Bradley

That did not compute. But, I digress.
