Ask The Bee: A Virus in Vera Wang
Dear Bee, As cliché as it may sound, I was always the girl who dreamt of her wedding…the big white Vera Wang gown, the overabundance of flowers, the signing of the Ketubah, you name it, I have thought it out in perfect detail. Fast forward 31 years. I met my forever in the most unexpected…
Ask The Bee: Love or Loyalty?
Hi Jule, I hope this note finds you well! I’m reaching out as I’d love your perspective on my current dating situation. A few months ago, I was fixed up with a guy through a mutual acquaintance of ours. Before our first date, we spoke on the phone for over an hour so I was…
Ask The Bee: Moral Compass
Hi Jule, I need some guidance. These past few weeks have left my heart heavy and sad. Seeing how our black community is being treated in this country breaks my heart. As a white privileged woman, I have never had to experience anything like this. I work for an older white female who claims to…
A Father’s Day Love Note to Bazz
If you were to ask Bazz what his number one job is I’m pretty sure he’d say, “Father.” His own parents divorced when he was just six weeks old. His weekends as a little boy were spent packing and unpacking a small, beat-up Snoopy suitcase, its characters faded and cracked. Rather than happily worn from…

Dear Bee, I’m almost 25 years old and I have been on the same career path since I graduated from college. My job is stable and I work at a great company where I’ve made amazing friends. But my boss can be a real bitch sometimes. Not just in the regular annoying boss type of…
Ask The Bee: Crush or Crutch?
Dear Bee, I’ve been with my significant other for 10 years (I’m 30 years old). We’re engaged to be married, he is one of my best friends. That said, it feels like something is missing, but I am not sure what. When I met him 10 years ago, I wasn’t in a good place in…
Ask The Bee: BEEsic Instinct
Hi Jule! Here we go – I’m happily married to the most wonderful man. He’s my best friend. We are so happy and have everything we could ever want or need in our lives, so these issues don’t stem from an issue in our own five year marriage. Here’s the thorn – my husband and…
Ask The Bee: To Sleep With Him or Not To Sleep With Him…That is the Question
Hi Jule, I recently had a guy become distant on me. We had only been dating for a short period of time. Full disclosure: we never had the “exclusive” talk so I continued to see other people. Shortly after we began dating I took off on an amazing trip to Italy. During my time on…
Ask The Bee: The Slippery Slope of Sleepaway Scaries
Hi Bee! My daughter is planning on attending sleep away camp this summer (G-d willing) for a few weeks and I am a total mess about it! How did you handle the first time your boys went away? Is it wrong that I tried to talk her out of it? Any tips for this nervous mama? Thanks…
