    Carrie's Back!

    No, not the scary one from the Stephen King movie. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda ... along with Mr. Big - all return for "Sex and the City", opening May 30th.

    I was wondering if they'd be able to re-create the magic of the show now that 4 years have passed. But if today's Oprah show is any indication, it's going to be fantastic. If you missed it, you can see the whole cast with Oprah on her website.

    Of course we can't give away any secrets, but they showed a tantalizing clip of Carrie & Mr. Big talking about an apartment together.

    The movie website has more tidbits, just in case you want to see what crazy expensive fashions Carrie wears now.

    Carly, Carole & Joni

    Before Madonna, Mariah and Whitney were musical idols, Carly Simon, Carole King and Joni Mitchell were the female icons to emulate.

    It's always been a challenge for women in the music industry, especially challenging to stay true to their art. So how did they do it? Get some insight in the new book, "Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon and the Journey of a Generation".

    The stories of how Carole Klein became Carole King and how Carly Simon first met her future husband (and ex), James Taylor - who was dating Joni Mitchell at the time - are fascinating and entertaining. Despite their stardom, they've faced the same issues at work and in relationships that we all do.

    Silk for Mom

    Mother's Day is just around the corner - May 11th. Are you at a loss for what to get Mom for a gift? Of course we all know that just spending time with her is the best gift you can give, right? But if you do want to have something wrapped in a package to hand her, consider this.

    Instead of the traditional perfume, jewelry or sweater, how about a silk or satin pillowcase? It's one of those little luxuries that Mom might not buy for herself. And the benefits go beyond just the sigh of comfort when you put your head on the pillow.

    Both silk and satin can help eliminate the morning 'bed-head' look, when your hair is trying to go in all directions at the same time. They also help minimize sleep lines on the face, keep your skin better moisturized, and feel cool even on a hot South florida night.
