The Case for Courtship
Courtship — not an artifact of the past, but a forgotten necessity for the present, is a fix to modern dating modules.
This time tested approach is neither an archaic formality nor a rigid doctrine — it is a deliberate strategy to relationships, guided by discernment rather than impulse. Courtship does not disregard attraction — it simply refuses to be led by it.

Boasting vs. Inspiring: Meghan Markle Is Not Martha Stewart
Martha Stewart built a publicly traded business around the art of entertaining, which she loved deeply and wanted to document to empower regular housewives. With Love, Meghan, on the other hand, proves that for the Duchess of Sussex, “entertaining guests” is merely a facade for her to gloat about her opulent, unrealistic lifestyle.

We Need a Revival of Highbrow Culture
Classical music and opera have always been elevated pastimes. For 100+ years in America, attending opera or symphony performances carried with it a requisite aura of prestige and behavioral expectation that young people in 2025 are turning to again for inspiration. You see this in the rising nostalgic interest in “country club” aesthetics, Ralph Lauren, and galas and balls.

The Must-Knows of Modern Reimbursement Etiquette
Whatever happened to the golden age of etiquette books? Back when Emily Post was practically a household authority and Brooks Brothers casually stocked How to Be a Lady next to the navy blazers. For those of us who endured multiple seasons of Cotillion and live for the art of a perfectly wrapped hostess gift, the lack of modern etiquette guidance hasn’t just been noticed — it’s felt like a gaping hole in the social fabric.

Why Chivalry Isn’t Dead
Dating these days often feels like swiping into oblivion, punctuated by ghostings and vague “u up?” texts. Old-fashioned courtship rituals — like holding doors or penning handwritten notes — seem like museum-worthy relics. But here’s the twist: More and more college-aged and 20-something singles are embracing these traditions, not as a nod to nostalgia, but as a way to recalibrate respect and thoughtfulness in modern relationships.

A Career Girl’s Wake-Up Call: The Surprising Freedom of Motherhood
In a world that equates success with promotions, Instagram likes, and the endless pursuit of career milestones, it’s easy to feel as though we’re falling short — especially as mothers. In the midst of the daily grind — diaper changes, tantrums, and yet another rendition of “The Wheels on the Bus” — we often forget that motherhood is not just a series of tasks to complete; it’s a high-stakes job that doesn’t come with a paycheck, a title, or a boss who’s keeping track of every move. But it does come with rewards that no salary can match (even if those rewards are often covered in spaghetti sauce and glitter).

4 Easy Ways to Kick Off the New Year on the Right Foot
Let’s be honest — January arrives like an unsolicited therapy session. It’s as if the year itself hands you a notepad and says, “Write down what you accomplished last year, what you didn’t, and where you think you went wrong.” But before you spiral into this is the year I become an ice-plunging wellness guru who tracks every habit, let’s focus on smaller, achievable things — steps that are less about “new year, new me” and more about getting your life to feel like it fits just a little better.

Why Are We Yearning for Simpler Times?
In those carefree days, we didn’t know what our old classmate’s breakfast looked like, or that our favorite actor had questionable political opinions. A concert wasn’t an event illuminated by ten thousand iPhones, recording every moment for an audience not even present— it was a memory made. Without infinite access to everyone and everything, there was something delightfully liberating about living in our own bubbles. A world without algorithms meant that life wasn’t curated; it was lived.

A Native Floridian’s Response to Harris’s Hurricane Mismanagement
While families mourn their destroyed properties and livelihoods and search for their loved ones among the ruins, the Biden-Harris administration remains disturbingly detached. Their actions— or lack thereof— show a heartbreaking truth: they are more interested in political theater than in the lives they are mandated to protect.

Reagan: A Tribute to the Great American Orator
ShowBiz Direct’s Reagan likely won’t be the final attempt at a Ronald Reagan docudrama that wows audiences and critics through piercing character development or "deep track" speeches. What Reagan missed in the story of the man, however, it made up through proving that, at one point in American history, the typewriter was mightier than the atomic bomb.
