Exhaustion is simply par for the Pampers ridden course. How to reclaim one's moxie? The mommy field trip: a weekend getaway sans children. My vision of Zen is a sunny and glamorous spot where I can rest my mind, energize my body and rejuvenate my complexion.

Truth be told, I always thought of Cocteau as, yes, important, but nevertheless, second-echelon artist. And I still do. But let me tell you about the experience I had with him and his art soon after we left the museum and arrived at the nearby Villa Santo Sospir.

I love snuggling up to my guy. Drifting off while spooning together feels comfortable, sexy and cozy. Until he starts to snore. I'm a light sleeper -- increasingly so as I get older. So lately, when he's happily dozing, I've taken to giving him a kiss and a cuddle, then going to bed in the spare room, where I have a glorious sleep.

When you don't work on nurturing your body and soul so that you are healthy on the inside, you ultimately end up hurting not just yourself, but the people who love you.

If you haven't thought that deeply about the way you cleanse your face or the lip balm you pick up at the drugstore, these profiles might give you a new perspective on your usual beauty routine. And they'll certainly give you unique beauty ideas to incorporate as you see fit.

We already get that it's in everyone's benefit for us to pitch in at home. You're less stressed and we get more sex. Everybody wins. But you need to give us points for trying.

I was underwhelmed to see that most celebrities went for brand names and popular choices versus exciting and new, emerging talent.

I've come to the conclusion that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Why is it that folks at-large are still labeling those of us who are affirmed enough to say what we mean as an "angry Black woman?"

If the clever design and intricate workmanship wasn't quite enough to tempt you, this might help: 10 percent of all profits from the Elephant Collection will go to helping keep parentless elephants alive.

Creative workers need peace and quiet and privacy, but they need social stimulation. Can you do that in a fish bowl-style cubicle? Drab furniture, white walls, no natural sunlight, and bland, boring spaces do little to ignite the imagination.

Of the 50 people I spoke to (mostly college and high school students) at Madison Square Garden, not one of them was familiar with the Letter from Birmingham Jail. I know what you are thinking: "Thank heaven Alona had a copy!"

I'm going to come right out and say it: I despised having sex with my husband when we were married. And I'm not saying this to suggest that he was a bad person or I was a bad person, it was just my truth. And there were many reasons contributing to my disinterest.
