Our refrigerator broke unfixably, which meant we had to get a new one (above). I actually hear angels singing every time it opens, I love it so much.

One of the videos I shot in Colorado last April for BetterTV is up! Check it out here.

I spotted these little dishwasher-safe (and adorable) trays in a store in Warwick, N.Y. last weekend...and they were so beautifully made that I couldn't believe it when I saw that they cost $12 each.

They're perfect for serving things like olives and nuts or for stashing your keys by the door, and make a great gift (try buying a few to spell out someone's name or a word).

Q. Dear Jordan,

In less than a week I'm going on a big family vacation with my boyfriend. He and I are from totally different worlds: his family on both sides are pretty well off and I grew up eating discount Cheerios. I contribute as much as I can to help even the score, but I still feel like the lovable tramp dragged in from the street a lot of the time.

His parents invited me to come along on their vacation to a resort/spa/golf course and while I've accepted, I'm kind of at a loss in terms of what I should actually do once I get there. My boyfriend will be golfing every day and the women are supposed to go to the spa together. Despite the fact that we've been together for a year and a half, I feel uncomfortable not only with the idea of invading their spa/vacation time, but also the idea of letting them pay for extravagant services. My guy says they can super afford it and they "like to be generous." I really don't want to insult them by either turning down their invitations or being too cavalier, but I'm a struggling grad student, and I'm kind of at a loss.

So far, my best ideas are being the girl who cried work and sitting in our room on my laptop, making them think I'm a workaholic, or hiding away in the fitness center all day and making them think I'm an exercise addict. If there was any way for me to pay my way, I would! That would make me feel much more at ease.
