When surf’s up you’re the number one shredder.
On land, no one tops the way you tear it up on blades or the slopes.

But when it comes to keeping your look current you wipe out every time.

Not to be catty but we’ve heard whiskers that you’re a glamour puss on the prowl.

There was the time you clawed through a crowd for that last pair of Tory Burch kitten heels. Or that night you tailed the stock boy into the back room to search for that Read more »

It starts with leftover Halloween candy and ends with sugar-loaded cocktails and canapés sometime after midnight. Welcome to the start of your Season’s Eatings.

The only workout that fits in your busy holiday schedule is bicep curls with your Black Friday buys.
