Facial hair: it's big deal for we men. From Ron Jeremy's '80s-porn-star stache to Collin Farrell's not-so badass goatee scruff, there are many different styles—making choosing one a daunting task

When I heard of the tragedy, my first reaction was to be afraid—to hold my children tight. But today is different. Today, I'm angry and I'm fighting back by showing that love is greater than any evil

Hall & Oates proved it's still a solid entertainment duo decades after "Maneater," and outlaw country artist Eric Church rocked the Coliseum (amidst fans who couldn't quite hold their liquor...)

Kids making noises with their armpits, boiled peanut shells tossed out of windows, and cries of "He's touching me!", "How much further?", and "I have to pee!" Let's hear it for family road trips

Sure, it's 75 degrees outside (making the weather somewhat frightful), but no matter... nobody does Christmas like we do

I'll show you how to do it in minutes, without a ladder, hammer, suction cups, or even going outside. Just grab some wreaths and ribbon!

It was Christmas Eve babe / In the drunk tank / An old man said to me: won’t see another one... A slightly unconventional list of tracks that doesn't include Ives or Sinatra (Run D.M.C. anyone?)

Find these—mini cups of hot cocoa, easy-yet-elegant candle embellishments, and place cards that double as take-home ornaments—here, in Part Two of my holiday entertaining inspiration

There's a new anti-croakies, skip-the-cargo-shorts, no-more-visors menswear movement happening in Charleston. Enter fitted blazers and slim-fit trousers and dressing like you mean it...

Bird carcass meets Pyrex meets half-tin-foil-covered mac-and-cheese... A touch of frostbite from fridge-shelf battles equals a good Thanksgiving in my book

My advice for taking in Friday night's show at the Music Farm, in a mere 20 Tips or Less. Really, buy me a Guinness and follow my advice. Only some of it though... Most of it doesn't even work for me

I know, I know, those sourdough starters can be about as welcome as a chain letter. Unless it's been molded, kneaded, shaped, baked into a cake, and given to you by a true friend

A trip to The Pour House to see one of my current favorites (The Royal Tinfoil) yielded the bonus of discovering another (The Whiskey Gentry)

A couple neat pics from Saturday's market, begging this Thanksgiving Week question... Are YOU thankful for broccoli? How about the rest of Charleston's winter bounty?

(Hint: It's right up the road.) For four years running, Asheville's earned top nods for its hometown brews. I've got a list of where to go and what to drink

As candles are one of my entertaining must-haves, the recent grand opening of the Colonial Candle flagship store proved to be an "enlightening" event!

Last week I took a trip to one of my favorite event planning and supply sources, Ooh! Events, and now I'm DYING to throw a soiree. Check out the tablescapes and arrangements that left me so inspired

I can't resist that old-team draw of the Brooklyn Nets. Here's my take on $16 million Deron, lazy Joe Johnson, jail-ball-playing Wallace, and why no serious athlete should date a Kardashian

AAA batteries in a meringue pie. Sweet Junior finding a wife with whom to share the holidays. The image of a “rotund little shorty” chomping on a turkey leg. What about Renae’s post DIDN'T we love?

Shotgun blast explosions in the kitchen, pies with a side of triple-A batteries, portly stepmothers who take to the turkey leg Flinstone-style—these holiday blunders bring out the best in us...
