What is the definition of vanity?
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I was standing in line at CVS the other day and witnessed something interesting. A woman and her pre-teen daughter (probably 12?) were ahead of me to check out. While we waited for the cashier, the young girl picked up a lip-gloss from the aisle display. Her mother’s response? “Put that down! Don’t be so vain. You do not need lip gloss.”

On Your Table: Lighten up and deconstruct
By Cathy Branciaroli, Food Correspondent, The Times
Lightening up familiar favorite dishes is a great way to please the family while serving healthier dishes.
If the recent spate of springtime weather (this week’s crazy winter weather notwithstanding) has started you thinking about summertime and bathing suits, now is the time to start lightening up food choices.
And, by the way, this doesn’t...
Couples as…gasp…Twinsies?
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I have a confession to make. I like when couples coordinate their outfits.
Calm down.
I’m not talking matching identically…but, putting a little effort into complimenting each other is chic, in my opinion.
I stumbled across this article about a couple from Japan who has been dressing alike for the past 37 years!

New month, new Super Six for your Sunday
It’s the first Sunday in March….so, that means it is time for the Super Six! This monthly article is a “Kelly hodge podge” of ideas/stream of consciousness/ window into my personality. I must confess that I don’t really have any rhyme or reason for my selections. They are (literally) what I have been perseverating about since last month’s rendition. So, without further ado…

Spring fever coming just a bit early this year
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I am (blissfully) typing this article while sitting out on the patio, sans coat, iced coffee in hand. In February. Although it is highly unlikely that these 70 degree temps will continue long term, I am happy to soak it up now. Even when the weather returns to normal, the brief respite from winter is enough to force an early transition of the contents of my...

By Cathy Branciaroli, Food Correspondent, The Times
Mardi Gras, the New Orleans celebration of Fat Tuesday which is marked by eating, drinking and parading. The raucous event preceding the start of Lent will soon be upon us. Let’s face it, Mardi Gras is an excuse to party, or at least host friends over for a festive dinner. And gumbo in its many variations is at the heart of Mardi Gras celebrations.

A few fashion tips for the guys
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Last week’s article was a flashback to my amazing NY Fashion Week experience from 2015. I was thrilled to witness, first hand, the energy of a runway show. It was a revealing introduction as to how the inspiration of haute couture trickles down to the trends that end up in our favorite stores.
Great fashion is NOT for “females only.” I think that men...
Invest in your child’s future by caring for their teeth
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times
Let’s start from the beginning, that’s right great teeth start from great care of our kids. We have seen decades of dental disease declining in kids who receive routine preventive care and early intervention of dental problems. For most people taking our kids to the dentist twice a year is just want we do. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always...
