Mercury will be in retrograde August 12 – Sept 5, 2017. But we give an extra 5-7 days either side for its energy to return to normal. But what does his mean exactly? Let me break it down for you. Mercury Retrograde is one of those 'New-Age' terms (but not really) thrown around by adults, Astrologers and everyone in-between.

A few weeks ago Edible Skinny was lucky enough to spend a night at the delightful emerald oasis that is the M Resort Spa Casino in Las Vegas. Now I will confess, I had driven by the M Resort for over a year on our multiple sojourns between Sin City and the City of Angeles, never stopping to consider it at all. So when I walked into this shelter for Vegas Locals and those not interested in the craziness of the strip, I was stunned by its elegance. Infused with originality, qual...
Did you look at up the night sky on the 6th and think – wow, that's big. Is it a full moon? If you did, you'd be correct. Not only was it a full moon, it was also a full moon in the sign of the emotional and creative dreamer, Pisces. So, what does that even mean? And what does it really mean for your life?

Dear Rusty: Two years ago, after 34 years of marriage, my wife divorced me. She was a full time homemaker most of those years. Is she entitled to half of my Social Security benefit when I collect at age 62?

Signed: Going Broke Dear Broke: Yes, because you were married for more than 10 years, when she becomes 62 your ex-wife will be entitled to...

However, I know that she could collect now and her payments will grow if she continues to work until age 70 because she had some years in her lifetime with zero earnings. My question is what will be the difference in benefits at age 70 if she waits to collect, or she collects now at age 66 and continues to contribute to S.S.? Signed: Working Wife's...

The trend was unintentionally started by Adeline Waugh, a Miami food stylist, content c...
