If there's one thing I know a little something-something about, it's packing. I am, in fact, a champion packer. I could pack in the Packing Olympics, if such a thing existed, and I would bring home -- at the very worst -- a bronze medal. (Hey, it helps not to be too cocky about these things, you know? Truth be told, I'd probably get the gold, but I'm going to let you keep believing I'm modest.)So when Kristen came to me with a packing challenge, I knew I had to step up to the plate.  Read more >

I should probably tell you right now that this story is going to be a little bit gross.

Over the years, I've taken a whole gossip magazine's worth of celebrity pictures to my various hair appointments. Nicole Richie's shoulder-length bob has accompanied me on many a visit, as has Katie Holmes' layered shag; heck, I've even taken pictures of various bloggers--don't worry, I asked first--passing the photos off to my stylist as "....uh, my friend's hair.

About Me: 
Holly Burns has a British passport, an American driver’s license, and the tendency to experience a minor identity crisis whenever people ask her where she’s from. Born in England, she grew up all over Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and is very likely scarred for life after attending ten schools before her tenth birthday. Her personal blog, Nothing But Bonfires, traces her life as a British ex-pat in the U.S., where she is never entirely sure which way to pronounce “basil” or “tomato.” She works as an editor for Travelocity and lives in San Francisco with her web designer boyfriend and two embarrassingly enormous cats.
