Part of Dr. No was filmed at the Sans Souci resort in Jamaica which, lucky for us, is still in business! It’s now a couples retreat, perfect for Valentine’s Day coming up!, and we went undercover to bring you a taste of the resort . . . plus a few ideas for bringing it home! [...]
A few weeks ago, I received the ultimate invitation (ok aside from maybe a dinner invite from Justin Timberlake!), a chance to take place in a global sparty hosted by Four Seasons! My destination?

With Thanksgiving upon us (and a whole lotta rain here in Cali), we decided to go see Tower Heist with Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller (always so fun!), Tea Leoni and Alan Alda. I’d classify Tower Heist as a cross between Wall Street, 48 Hours, and Night at the Museum. It’s a comedy about a rich baddie [...]
