The bright red lips, the navy headband, retro hairstyle and white on white outfit are all signature looks employed by Stephanie Courtney in the long running series of spots. Maybe you'd be surprised to know that Stephanie has been around show business for a long, long time. Here are a few things you probably didn't know.
April 21, 2013 I know our two cats Fenway and Parker (yes, we're Red Sox fans) love boxes. Anytime we bring home something that comes in a box it's just a matter of minutes before one or the other climbs in-or at least tries to-and makes themselves comfortable. Maybe they'll just lie on it or scratch at it or chew it but whatever it is about a box it is simply irresistible. Apparently the same goes for big cats as in really big cats. Take a look.
April 20, 2013 If you are going car buying in Singapore make sure you're ready for some serious sticker shock. A VW Golf that would cost an American buyer about $23,000 goes for $110,000 in that Southeast Asian country. That's just one example of everyday purchases that are outrageously expensive in other countries. A cup of Starbucks coffe in Norway? Brace yourself.
April 19, 2013 I don't know if kids still do this but I remember when I was in grade school I would see a lot of the girls outside skipping rope before class.

April 18, 2013 The price of gold has been dropping recently, not good news for speculators but great news for gold jewelry buyers. Gold hit a record price of $1930.20 per ounce in September, 2011 and has trended down ever since. The current price,according to Reuters, is $1351.35 per ounce. How and when will this effect gold jewelry?

April 17, 2013 As a grandparent myself I know how mystifying and strange technology can be to people of my generation. How these things must appear to those even older than me I can only guess. Here are some video's from The Week.com of grandparents dealing with things---video games and music for example--that their kids and grandkids love.
April 17, 2013 Sure, when I leave a hotel I might grab a bar of soap or a pen as a souvenir but when it comes to amenities like pillows or robes, nope, those stay. Most Americans feel the same way.

April 17, 2013 He may not be a force on the charts anymore but Dwight Yoakam still know how to pack them in. The "Fast As You" singer performed two sold out shows at Nashville's iconic Ryman Auditorium last Friday and had the ladies screaming for more when he performed his signature "hillbilly moonwalk". Don't remember it? Check out Dwight singin' and hillbilly moonwalkin' through "Guitars, Cadillacs and Hillbilly Music".
