So, what do you do? This is one of my most-fielded inquiries. As a society, we use “what we do” as a way of defining ourselves… and for 15 years, I worked in the loss prevention field. I was roughly 22-years old when my cousin called me one morning. “Wassup foo, you like to fight right?” I replied, “Bro, you know me!” Then he told me to come up to Rite Aid the next day. Actually, what he said was, “If you want a job where you’re going to fight, I can get you in.” I went to th

The Star Wars series is arguably one of the greatest cinematic displays in the entertainment industry. Not just because of the story line, or the fact the series has been around for 45 years, but all the philosophical quotes provided by the great and wise Yoda. Yoda’s primary role was to train Luke Skywalker to be a Jedi, but also to mentor him to learn the ways of the Force. There were challenges, failures and self-doubt at numerous turns for young Skywalker, but Yoda was al

While penning this month’s column, the Wall Street Journal published an article with the attention-grabbing headline, “Who Can Afford Napa Now?” The article went on to describe rising prices for everything in the storied wine region – from luxe hotel accommodations and Picasso’s model of second home ownership driving up housing costs to the wine tastings where thousands flock each day. The author, a noted wine columnist, concluded the piece by saying she’s now exploring more

In March of this year, I found myself for the first time in Uganda, the pearl of Africa. It was my first time venturing to the eastern region of the Continent, but unlike most foreign debutantes of the beautiful, sunny nation, I wasn’t there to backpack through one of its many stunning forests, or to go gorilla trekking, nor to even go on an epic safari tour. My mission was single-minded and urgent, to meet and learn about the incredible story of a young contemporary artist r

After a three-year, pandemic-induced hiatus, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival made its highly anticipated return at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. The iconic music festival– which took place over two weekends in mid-April– boasted headliners Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd. The festival, is known for its fashionable crowd, unique art exhibitions, and incredible music talent, is put on by Los Angeles-based entertainment compan

Breakfast, especially on a weekday, is usually an afterthought. A stray banana as we run out the door, a quick bowl of cereal before the morning commute, maybe some avocado toast if we›re feeling fancy. But as we continue to spend time at home, breakfast has become a bigger part the day. And after a couple of weeks, it’s easy to get bored of that usual bowl of oatmeal. We reached out to Michelin-starred chefs from around the world to see what they’re cooking for breakfast, an

We all know that when love is good, it’s really good. Research shows that romantic attachments, when they’re healthy and supportive, can be immensely beneficial for our health. Married people tend to live longer than single people and seem to fare better when seriously sick. But as poets and pop singers have long told us, when love goes awry, it hurts like nothing else. After my marriage ended—not by my choice—I found some comfort in art, but what I really wanted was science.

Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham got married on Saturday, April 9, at Peltz’ family mansion in Palm Beach, Fla., in front of family and friends, including Venus and Serena Williams, Eva Longoria, and Gordon Ramsay. The Valentino Haute Couture gown she wore down the aisle had an open back and a column-style skirt that fell to the floor with an accompanying train, all in a gorgeous silk to complement her square-toe satin platforms, an eccentric exchange for bridal heels.
