Stacy Lyon has always been an entrepreneur. Her first business venture was when she was 9 years old; she sold worms to Shawano Lake (Wisconsin) fishermen. Then, in college, she started an entrepreneurs club at the University of Wyoming. Now, she is the founder of healthy hoohoo, which is a revolutionary line of natural freshness products for women.
There is no question about it: Stacy has created a very successful brand with products that might not be the sexiest to talk about. Her line is now carried at Whole Foods, natural grocers, spas and wellness clinics

Somehow, I got to baking a lot the past two weeks which meant massive amounts of dough/batter in a short amount of time.
Very briefly, I’m going to share with you just a couple of quick fixes that really helped speed the process along:
Grated Butter
The worst part about baking is realizing I have to cream together some damn butter and sugar, and forgetting to let the butter out to sit to get to room temperature. Not a problem anymore. I just grate the butter now, which softens it and makes it much easier to cream anyway.

February 11, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleI love Paris. On our first day there, we just sorta wandered aimlessly, and it was lovely. We probably walked a total of 5 or 6 miles, but it is the only way to see the city. While Paris is beautiful during the day, it is absolutely breathtaking at night…there is a reason it is called The City of Lights.
While I die for the food, coffee, history and art in Paris, the thing I love most is the effortless chicness of the Parisians people. Less is more.
If you plan on going to Paris, I have a few recommendations

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was a kid I wanted to be a lot of things – a pro athlete, a Fly Girl on In Living Color, the editor of Vogue, an NFL cheerleader or a TV personality. As I grew older,

February 6, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleI have a series of really random things that I happen to love. Street art is one of those obsessions. I am not taking about tagging/graffiti, but art that actually has some talent/thought behind it (I am sure anyone that actually knows art is rolling their eyes right about now because I have no idea what I am really talking about). I am not sure why I love it so much, but it makes me happy.
My all time favorite place for street art is the Wynwood area of Miami. It is basically the coolest neighborhood ever because each building

February 3, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleGreetings from London!
My bff, Katie, moved to London, so I obviously had to come visit her. So far we have only been here a day, but we have accomplished so much.
A quick rundown of the last 24 hours: Landed at Heathrow, went to Camden Market, had a real British tea at Fortnum & Mason (I consumed wayyy too many scones with clotted cream), quick pit stop at Liberty London, had a pint at The Holly Bush in Hampstead Heath…and then, that brings us to dinner at Byron –

1) When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
So many things! I wanted to be a veterinarian until the first time I saw our vet take my cat’s temperature – that was a real deal breaker for me. After that, I wanted to be a teacher, a writer, and

This is really only a question I suppose a 40 something can answer and after perusing this site and reading some of the posts I whole-heartedly agree with their advice. It’s all very sound and practical and wise. None of which I usually am, and I especially wasn’t in my 20’s.
I had a great career, made good money, had a couple a great boyfriends. Then, I lost the good money and

January 21, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., LifestyleYes, this is another “Dear Diary” type post. Yes, I have become a typical gen-y female whining constantly about her love life (or lack there of). Yes, I know it is extremely annoying. Yes, I know, I am probably the reason I am still single.
Okay, I have to do a blog post about my date, so I can get it off my chest, and move on with my day. After taking a major break from online dating, I decided to re-activate my OkCupid profile a few weeks ago. So last night, I met up with a fellow that I
