I was surprised to hear recently that a friend of mine is seriously considering plastic surgery. I was even more surprised to hear that it was her husband's suggestion. Previously, I'd always thought of her as a strong, successful woman, but clearly there are some self-esteem issues if she's so willing to try to become the perfect “trophy wife.”

It seems like just yesterday that my fiancée proposed, and now here I am almost a year later in the final stretches of planning the wedding! We sent out our invitations this weekend and I could not be more excited.

Planning a wedding is hard work, but for me the real hard work was in finding a relationship that gave me the foundation I need to be as successful as I can be. What could be more romantic than that?

I am by no means a fan of so-called reality television, but on occasion even I stumble across these shows, and I couldn't be more horrified when I do. All these women degrading themselves in every way imaginable for a chance to become some non-celebrity's chosen slut du jour.

I can't imagine what would cause someone to go on TV, drink to excess, make out with total strangers, and completely humiliate themselves in the name of "love." That's SO not how you achieve success.
