Q. What advice would you give someone on how to handle the mean-spirited comments people feel free to fling around [on the Internet]?

The Golden Hour
Where I took my brand-new hair color out for its debut: on a date night with Kendrick to watch the sun set in a local park, followed by sushi at our favorite spot in Dobbs Ferry.
This, by the way, is what photographers are talking about when they refer to “the golden hour” or “the magic hour” – it’s that moment when the sun is just over the horizon and casts a soft, reddish light that’s more flattering for…well, virtually everything. It enhances landscape colors, diffuses the light hitting the face (which eliminates those harsh shadows created by direct sunlight), and makes everything it hits seem to glow.
The Grand At-Home Hair Color Experiment
I listen to my mother when it comes to pretty much everything. It’s generally a good idea, because she’s almost always right. “Almost” being the key word here, because I have found the one thing that she was wrong about. (Sorry, mom.)
Remember that post I put up about how I was thinking about trying an at-home hair dye kit? Well, about thirty seconds after I hit “publish” my phone rang, and I knew it was my mom without even looking at the caller ID. I even knew what she was going to say:
“JORDAN DO NOT DYE YOUR OWN HAIR.”
Starting Out As A Blogger: What I Wish I’d Known
Q. Saw your lovely feature on ShopSense. Can you share more business tips you wish you knew before [you started] blogging?
Elizabeth (via Twitter)
A. Oh, yes. The "business of blogging" is one of my all-time favorite subjects. Blogs aren't just businesses, they're big businesses. And if you plan to make your blog your business, you should treat it like one.

Please Don’t Throw Out Your Mirrors (A Song)
I wish I could write a song called "Please Don't Throw Out Your Mirrors."
It would go something like this:
"Please don't throw out your mirrors. They are useful for so many thiiiiings!"
Or something.
Really? It Had To Be MARSALA?
Ew.
If there is one color on the planet that I can say I actually hate - like, shudder-hate - it is marsala. Which isn't actually a color - it's a not-especially-delicious wine that does, however, make for very yummy chicken - but whatever, I'll let that one slide. What's more important is the fact that Pantone's Color Of The Year is, effectively...
mud.
Say Yes In 2015
I’ve said over and over how much I’m not really a fan of New Year’s Resolutions, mostly because they feel more like chores than anything else (and chores that will be immediately abandoned come January 2nd, at that). But another reason why they’re so not-especially-fun is that they’re all about “no”s. Don’t do that. Or that. Definitely stop doing this.
You know that thing you love? STOP DOING IT.
Ugggggh.
