San Diego is a critical distance from Los Angeles: just far enough away from to feel as though you've escaped the rat race. Coronado Island, across the bay from San Diego via a high, arched bridge, takes you another step further from your harried life. The Loews Coronado Bay Resort, five miles down a narrow strip of sand from Coronado Island, takes you as far as you can go without getting on a boat. Obligations and worries drift away with the sea breeze as you open your car...
Dimples, dents, divots, lines, ripples, lumps, bumps, saddlebags, sagging skin, any which way you label it, it's the one thing that no women wants to be caught dead wearing: Cellulite (with a Capital C). But according to Ashley Black, self-described Fasciology guru and best-selling author of The Cellulite Myth: It's Not Fat, It's Fascia, the ban of women's existence, Cellulite, doesn't really exist at all. "Fat is not what's making everyone dimply and dented," states Black in...

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? She currently gets half my pension from work, and having her also take half of my Social Security benefit would kill me financially. 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...

Dear Rusty: My wife is now 66 and not collecting Social Security. She wants to wait until age 70 to collect the larger benefit. 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...

A magical new food trend has taken over menus across the country and has become nearly ubiquitous on foodies' social media feeds.

Even Starbucks – albeit for a short period of time – recently sold "unicorn Frappuccinos," which were made with mango syrup and layered with a "pleasantly sour blue drizzle." The trend was unintentionally started by Adeline Waugh, a Miami food stylist, content c...
