“To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation will suffice.” — St. Thomas Aquinas
Literal Metaphor. Every woman runner knows the man who won’t be passed.
Good Grief. This $38 Liz Claiborne dress is nice for work in black or a late summer wedding in pink.
Sorry, Not Sorry. A Gmail plug-in to remove unnecessary apologies from your work emails.
Definite Maybe. This Anna Beck Cigar Band is to die for. This $40 band is also a nice option.
Old News. Why sexist coverage of women in politics matters.
Magical Realism. M.Gemi is having a sale. These low-heel sandals and breezy mules caught my eye.
Awfully Good. How to give constructive criticism without making it awkward.
Open Secret. This pleated skirt in taupe or black (petite) is on my summer-to-fall wish list.
Bittersweet. Demystifying the postpartum female body.
Plastic Glasses. Still my favorite blue-light blocking glasses.
Minor Miracle. How to beat summer breakouts. I use this tea tree face wash during the oily, sweaty summer months.
This weekend, Kyle and I are headed to Montana for our last pre-wedding planning meeting. I booked a hotel with an outdoor pool so we could get some much needed relaxation time. And when I’m poolside, my favorite activity is to read magazines, but I always forget how expensive they are at the drugstore.
After dropping $30 on reading material on our last vacation, I decided it was time to re-subscribe to my favorite magazines. And Amazon makes it so easy.
Real Simple? $10 per year on auto-renewal. Vogue? $6 for 6-month auto-renewal. Vanity Fair? $20 per year. Marie Claire? $10 on auto-renewal. And The Economist? $12 for 3-months on auto-renewal.
Amazon has all the magazines you could ever need to read at significantly lower prices than the newsstand. And you can cancel through your Amazon account at any time. Just remember to recycle those pages when you’re done, either in the blue bin or through Soldier’s Angels (a charity that donates them to female military personnel serving overseas).

Abra – I just want to say I really loved this post – from the quote in the beginning about faith to the info about Soldier’s Angels. The Ladies of Liberty program speaks to my heart. I am so glad to find out about it. Much of your blog and brand is about women helping women. I find it positive, empowering, and also enjoy the fashion and life tips. Thank you!
Cindi, the quote was from this ESPN special about a former Villanova women’s basketball star who became a cloistered nun. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I watched it.

I read that article too. As someone who grew up Catholic (and not too far from where she played her senior year in high school), it was an incredibly interesting read.
Thank you for posting about the Soldiers’ Angels – I subscribe to a bunch of magazines and I always feel guilty just recycling them. This will be perfect!
And that women runner article… Ugh. I am not a fast runner, but there’s always some guy like that.
Wow, what an article! Thanks for sharing.
If you have Amazon Prime, it includes Amazon Reading (or whatever it’s called). In addition to books, you can also download magazines and read them on the Kindle App on your iPad or tablet (phone too, but that’s not magazine-sized) in full color.
Awesome tip, thanks.
Another place to get a single edition of print magazines at a discount is Costco – they’re sometimes 50% off the print edition posted price. The magazine rack is usually near the snack section.
