Hollywood's baby boom continues on the big screen. While we anxiously await the births of the Jolie-Pitt babies, Tinseltown has delivered yet another movie that deals with motherhood. Heather Graham stars in Miss Conception, a flick about a woman obsessed with having a child. As the character's biological clock ticks, she makes desperate attempts to find a potential papa to impregnate her — Read more
For many women, the idea of a constantly ticking biological clock is stressful at best, downright irritating at worst. Yet when it's handled well, the "single woman planning a family" movie schtick can be pretty fun to watch (see box office smash hit Baby Mama for the most recent example). On the other hand, it can be pretty painful when it's handled poorly — and I'm guessing that's what's Read more
We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! Most of us spend about 40 hours per week at work — in other words, the majority of our waking hours.

There’s no shortage of discouraging research pointing Read more

We're thrilled to present this smart Business Insider story here on Savvy! As the youngest daughter of two borderline baby boomers, like many other Generation Yers, I grew up watching my parents spend cash faster than they made it and had no concept of financial planning whatsoever. When I scored my first full-time job after college, I'll never forget the rush I felt seeing all those numbers Read more
The wise Ferris Bueller once said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Families embracing the concept of slow parenting movement would certainly agree.

On my trip to Holland this Spring, I mostly stayed in Amsterdam, so I missed the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen in Rotterdam. But if I were going back, I'd definitely make a stop at the museum for its exhibition Van Gogh & Roulin. While in Arles, France, Van Gogh painted or sketched 25 works portraying the Roulin family. Now, at the exhibition, a portrait of the father, Joseph Roulin, will be Read more
Jason Wu and CND have come out with a color collection full of subtle delights, including a shade in his signature gray, Miss Wu, and a delectable red the hue of Bing cherries called Veronica (above). But the most exciting shade in the collection isn't a color at all; it's a new special effect polish. The effect, called Anna (also pictured), is supposed to mimic the appearance of tweed wool. It's Read more
