We've been secretly hoping for roller skating to return to its early 1980s popularity. And thanks to Kimberly Cole, a soon-to-be everywhere musician and champion roller skater who performed in Jessica Simpson's A Public Affair video, that just may happen.

Recently signed by MySpace Records, Cole will see her first EP, entitled Superstar, drop on January 27, 2009 at digital retailers everywhere.

Right about now, that New Year's resolution may be looking like a distant memory. Yup, at the end of each January, millions of people learn -- and then relearn -- that resolutions are meant to be broken.

That's why this year I "resolved" to make a few minor tweaks in my lifestyle. Eat one more piece of fruit per day. Eat an extra green veggie daily. Work out one more day a week.

Because, while I don't need a complete overhaul, I always aim to do better.

So while you may have already mastered living it up, I've rounded up a few of my favorite tips from Blum on living well while you're at it.
