		<title>The Insider&#8217;s Guide to Life: How to Be More &#8216;Likeable&#8217; in Any Situation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Presenting yourself as the envy of everyone&#8217;s Facebook wall comes down to editing (that we&#8217;d want to do this is a foregone conclusion). As a colleague said recently, &#8220;Editing is the skill of the century.&#8221; Your digital life, unedited? So MySpace. This is Facebook, where the savvy Eye of social discernment is a requisite. You&#8217;ve got walls. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Insider&#8217;s Guide to Life: If These Oms Could Talk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a girl, I once read a book where the main character would frown with great purpose every time she saw a smiley face sign. I can&#8217;t recall the book, but you know the sign: those cheery yellow faces that blithely instruct you with just one word. Smile! &#8220;How do they know I&#8217;m not already smiling?&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Insider&#8217;s Guide to Life: The Essential List of Resolutions Not to Make in 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The season of cocktail parties and last-minute dinners with friends before we all trek back to our respective homesteads (or wing like hell in the opposite direction) is upon us.

		<title>The Insider&#8217;s Guide to Life: The New Chic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What defines the new chic? Grit and glimmer in conscious measure. Over dinner recently, a colleague and I abandoned a hot and heavy discussion about the political zeitgeist for something decidedly more dessert-appropriate: women. The End of Men, the death of the the Death of Marriage myth, Lady Gaga, gay marriage, the endless debates about women getting funded in [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Insider&#8217;s Guide to Life: The Official List of Things You Can Safely Judge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You say judgment, I say intuition, or, in the words of one of our editors: &#8220;It&#8217;s just marketing!&#8221; Few things feel as gratifying as judgment. If, like me, you are saddened by the lack of respect judgment gets these days, is this post ever for you. Getting away with being judgmental anymore is really just [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Insider&#8217;s Guide to Life: Lower Your Birds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I answered my cell phone while pulling up to a stop sign in my car. I will be the second or third to admit using your cell phone while driving is irresponsible; that&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t do it. I use a hands-free set. But I hadn&#8217;t even had the chance to reach for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Insider&#8217;s Guide to Life: My Girls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I write these words, I&#8217;m sitting in a cafe in Pacific Palisades, Calif., a place that in a way is my forever home. My heart is full to breaking with gratitude for the women in my life. And I have to say that here, in the presence of our readers, because while I believe [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Insider&#8217;s Guide to Life: Blast from the Past</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Blue Angels and the Blue Asses who love them. I’ll say it: I hate the Blue Angels. I don’t hate the pilots, especially since one in 10 dies in these shows. Their skill is impressive, but so is ibuprofen’s power to eliminate the headache I had all weekend. What I hate is the hypocrisy and denial [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Insider&#8217;s Guide to Life: I&#8217;m Off Nightshades</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I once dated a bright man who remarked that after years and years of girlfriends, he had simply come to accept the fact that every woman, no matter how sane and healthy she might appear to be, has at least one serious food &#8220;thing.&#8221; One girl might avoid carbs. Another won&#8217;t touch meat. Another has [...]]]></description>
