Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

Great organization is the key to a happy home — I swear by this. If my home is messy and cluttered, my mind feels the same way. Sometimes this happens because life gets busy, but most of the time it’s because my items simply don’t have a designated place. Either my drawers can’t handle everything I own, or my cabinets are overflowing. And let’s face it: Living in a small apartment doesn’t help. One thing I’ve learned to appreciate over the years is the value of a great organizer. Whether for your closet, kitchen, or office, I appreciate the help a good organizer provides. One of my favorites — and the most versatile — is a storage cart.

Former child star Jonathan Brandis, who committed suicide in 2003, had appeared in several TV shows and movies by the time he was a teen.

Brandis was only 27 when he opted to end his life.

Knowing her love of gardening, it’s no surprise that Martha Stewart takes any opportunity she can get to bring a bit of the outdoors inside. And in an entryway in her home in Maine, she uses a nearly 200-year-old method to do so. It’s called faux bois — French for “false wood” — and it’s sculptural concrete that’s crafted in a way to look like petrified wood.

If you haven’t heard of Bimini, you’re not alone. This tiny Bahamian island — the closest to the United States, just 48 miles off the coast of Miami — has long been an under-the-radar spot known mostly to avid fishermen who come for big game like marlin and tuna, or for the bonefishing on the shallow flats between North and South Bimini. One such fisherman is a guy you’ve definitely heard of, Ernest Hemingway, who called Bimini home between 1935 and 1937 (his time here inspired The Old Man and the Sea). Prior to Hemingway’s residency, Bimini was a popular hideaway during Prohibition, given its proximity to America and lack of alcohol restrictions, and was once believed to be home to The Fountain of Youth (Ponce de Leon came here searching for it in 1513).

Carnival Cruise Line has issued a clear statement regarding an activity that is not allowed on cabin balconies. You might think you can do whatever you want on a cruise balcony and decorate the railing however you would like. But cruise lines have cameras that are constantly monitoring balconies for unsafe behavior and people going over board.
