Miss Lori says sometimes all it takes is a feather to lift your spirits
August 16, 2011 By 2 Comments
When I was in my twenties I experimented with changing my haircolor. You see I wanted a change, but I couldn’t cut my hair because of my career. Back in the day it cost too much to take new headshots so none of us actors ever wanted to change our look for fear of having to shell out more money for a photo session and printing. (The “starving” in “starving actor” often got in the way of fashionable experimentation.) But color changes, well that was doable. Usually it was red, or black, or even highlights. Although it wasn’t until I was pregnant with my second child, Kaiann, that I went way extreme… blonde. I don’t know what came over me. Well, now that that girl is older I think I understand where that impulse came from. (HA!)

When I was a little girl I had a lot of hopes and wishes, but my greatest wish, the one that stayed with me through all birthdays, holidays (and Wednesday’s for that matter), was to have a really good friend. Someone who I could trust and confide in. Someone who I could laugh with and cry with, walk with and talk with, oh and dance with. Dancing is very important. I had to wait a while. [Read more...]
Miss Lori says Matt Lauer and the Today Show need to read better blogs
August 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Sometimes you have to stand up and say something when you perceive a wrong. It can be a little nerve racking, I know, but some things need to be done; not just for you, but for the collective “you”. That’s how I felt Tuesday morning watching Matt Lauer on the Today Show. During a piece about a truly cruel blog he made a comment that passed judgment on an entire community that is comprised of numerous individuals whom I have come to respect and cherish. [Read more...]

August 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Sports Nutrition is something that is on my mind a lot. With three young athletes in the house I pack a lot of snack bags. I try my best to impress upon my children the need to nourish and hydrate their bodies during their games, but they don’t always listen and I end up feeling unclear about how to proceed. That was yesterday this is now. because now I am no longer just a mom going to sports events, I am an official Gatorade SPORTS MOM empowered with knowledge and science that I am going to use to fortify my kids and help them be the best athletes-students-people they can possibly what.

Miss Lori says AUTHENTICTY is the key to social media
July 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Last year at the Social Media Master’s Summit, I spoke on a panel with some amazing ladies, Kim Moldofsky, Danielle Smith and Esther Crawford. We spoke in depth about brand and blogger relations. Looking through the footage, one clip jumped out at me. I think it contains a message that is especially important to hear as much of the blogging community prepares to go to Blogher 2011 in San Diego. I can sum it up in one word…AUTHENTICITY.
