10 Things I Can’t Live Without

Monday, May 13th, 2013

Good morning and Happy Monday! I hope that those that celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday did so with an abundance of love. Mother’s Day is by far, my favorite day of the year. It’s like one giant tribe celebration of like-minded exhausted people and friends. I love it. I was spoiled by my 3 men with tons of love, and some GREAT cards.

For example…

I got roses from my 6 year old. “Eema” roses actually, it means Mom in Hebrew:

rose

I got this card from my 9 year old. So sweet – he used my name in beautiful french adjectives:

Spring and Summer Fashion for the Working Woman

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

Spring has sprung, and today I wanted to show you some great looks which will take you to the office, and then straight out to date night or girls night out… without needing to go home and change!

It’s no secret I have been loving LE CHÂTEAU especially for my workwear: when speaking, coaching or on tv. In fact, they have dressed me every week for my Weekly Parenting Segments on Global TV. To view those looks on Global, click here.

So, now that the weather is warmer, you might not want to go home and change before leaving the office and heading out at night. Here are some great LE CHÂTEAU looks which transition easily from daytime to nighttime. They’re super fun.

#DoveIsDifferent

Monday, April 22nd, 2013

If you recall, as a Dove® Ambassador, I traveled with them on a Canyon Ranch, Arizona retreat last year. It was truly game changing. There I found myself, there I learned how to meditate (which I still do regularly), and there I learned how to truly care for myself.

It was a partnership I was thrilled to announce. At any given moment, I only work with a few select brands whose message I truly believe in, and can authentically represent. Dove® is inspiring women everywhere, and my mission is to do the same. So I’m excited today to share with you again today, what this incredible brand is up. Firstly, I don’t know if you have seen Dove’s latest video called Beauty Sketches, but I encourage you to watch it. It’s brilliant.

“Jodie Foster Was Here” – And Why That Matters

Monday, January 14th, 2013

Talk about ON THE FENCE. That was the theme in all the social media channels last night during the Golden Globes- “I’m on the fence about whether Jodie Foster’s acceptance speech was epic and brilliant, or a complete nonsensical mess.”

I too watched alongside millions of people, as Jodie Foster took the stage to accept the Cecille B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. Jodie remains one of my favorite actresses since portraying rape victim Sarah Tobias in The Accused. Her performance in that film is stunning, and I have followed her career ever since. But there was something so RAW, so REAL, about her acceptance speech last night.

When I watched it live, I didn’t quite understand what was going on at first. In fact, I tweeted this, and many of you agreed with me.

Wisdom Wednesday: On Aging

Wednesday, January 9th, 2013

I received this from my girlfriend and I wanted to share it.

Here are some very true words to ponder on aging. I hope you enjoy…

As I’ve aged, I’ve become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I’ve become my own friend.

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Erica Diamond New Brand Ambassador For LE CHÂTEAU

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

I am finally able to reveal some exciting news– I am the new brand ambassador for LE CHÂTEAU. It has been a long story in the making…

I remember shopping at LE CHÂTEAU when I was 16 years old – the Sweet Sixteen days. How my mother let me out of the house in crushed velvet bustiers and “hot pants” (remember the short shorts that barely covered your ….), I’ll never know. I guess it was what we wore back then! Then I stopped shopping there for many years, thinking that I was too old, or that the quality wasn’t up to par. Thinking that the clothes were for young girls, and not for a mother or businesswoman.

But, it all started again this summer. I needed a dress for an engagement party, and was walking downtown looking for the perfect dress. I walked by LE CHÂTEAU and saw the most gorgeous dress in the window. Having not shopped there for twenty one years, I walked in to see the dress. When I walked into the store, I was shocked. A complete re-branding. Clothes for the modern woman, mom and career woman. Stylish. Modern. Amazing quality. I couldn’t believe the change. Well, I bought that dress.

I got in touch with LE CHÂTEAU and told them I wanted to represent them – online and in real life. I wanted to showcase their brand as the one-stop-shop for the modern woman, where you can find EVERYTHING – from the perfect outfit, to the clutch, to the shoes, AND the accessories too, all in one store– clothes to wear anytime, to work, and then right out to date night, or girls night out. It was the perfect partnership.
