Clare Vivier and Heather Taylor have perfected the art of hosting by dividing responsibilities, with Vivier focusing on wine and Taylor on flowers and dessert. Their friendship of 20 years has led to a seamless collaboration that enhances the dinner party experience.

We are in the studio, still working towards a noisy, messy, 'unreasonably colourful' album to play LIVE... which is where U2 lives. We still look to vivid rock n roll as an act of resistance against all this awfulness on our small screens.

Lindsay texted Ella, 'ARE YOU WATCHING? WE HAVE TO APPLY' and within hours they hatched a plan to make the video and enlisted the help of Ella's twin sister, Olivia Dombkowski, to help.

And focus on your health, your style, hobbies, mental clarity through expunging all the toxins built up from ... mistreatment in your childhood.

Ever wonder why you're exhausted trying to maintain relationships with everyone from your high school lab partner to that person you met at a conference three years ago? Here's something that might surprise you: anthropologist Robin Dunbar's research suggests our brains can only handle about 150 social connections, and of those, only five make up our innermost circle. That's right, five.

Throughout my childhood and adolescence, my closest friend was "Kate." We kept in touch throughout college but drifted apart a bit afterwards. Kate stayed in our hometown after I moved away.
