Work it Out: Surviving seven exercise classes in seven days

by Heather Bouzan, 01-08-2008

IT'S NOT LIKE I'm obese or anything. It's just - well, let's just say I was never the athletic type. My parents pushed me into a childhood's worth of ballet classes when it became painfully obvious that I preferred practicing my twirls...

Testing My Resolve: One man’s (embarrassingly public) quest to choose a New Year’s resolution

by Michael Diskin, 12-17-2007

I'VE NEVER been a big New Year's resolution kind of guy. I can't remember the last time I resolved to stop doing anything on the first day of the year. (Except in 2002 when, face down in a hotel toilet, I declared I would never, ever drink...

Planning committee: What are you doing for New Year's Eve?

by Heather Bouzan, 12-14-2007

NEW YEAR’S EVE: we can never decide whether to love it or hate it. Somehow we’re always making grand plans that never materialize — and when things have panned out, too often we’ve spent the evening nine cocktails deep and making out with whomever happens...

Better to receive: Having trouble forgetting the worst gifts you've ever been given? Purge your memory with these cooler alternatives

Worst gift: Rocking the reindeer sweater won’t win you any style points. And if Rudolph’s nose blinks, all the worse. BETTER ALTERNATIVE: SNUGGLE UP IN THE PRINGLE CABLE-KNIT SWEATER ($175) FROM INTERMIX (186 NEWBURY STREET, BOSTON, 617.236.5172). IT...

Nouvelle New England: These are not your great-great-grandfather’s hoecakes

by MC Slim JB, 11-16-2007

NEW ENGLAND’S culinary tradition may be America’s oldest, but it’s not often considered its most delicious. After all, our local cuisine originally sprang from the British Isles, land of the boiled potato and overdone roast, and the Pilgrims, whose religious...

by Heather Bouzan, 10-05-2007

IT SOUNDS like a bad joke, doesn’t it? At least, that was the reaction we got from the majority of unsuspecting partygoers we ambushed at Rumor (100 Warrenton Street, Boston, 617.482.6958) on a recent Tuesday night. With two top hairstylists and one of...
