We were out and about in California's San Fernando Valley recently, when we discovered this chrome pink Jeep Wrangler parked on Ventura Boulevard in Encino. There was no missing it, actually, thanks to its retina-searing gleam in my absolute favorite color. It didn't take much detective work to trace it to celebrity Amber Rose, affectionately known as Muva, who also happens to live nearby in a swanky south-of-the-boulevard ...

Sometimes, even the best drivers can use a little help with parallel parking. A few months ago I was embarassed when my effort at parallel parking a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen into what seemed like a giant space took more than a dozen attempts -- all while being watched by a gentleman with whom I was about to have a first date.

Posted by AskPatty - Automotive Advice for Women at Nov 16th, 2016 6:00am

Honeybees have been on the decline in the United States for more than three decades due to colony collapse disorder, parasites, pests, pathogens, poor nutrition, and pesticides.
