ABOUT THIS EXPERT

Vanessa Green (left), lifestyle editor and Renee Sylvestre-Williams (right), Senior Lifestyle editor, tackle the latest issues, from how to reupholster a couch to picking out the perfect pumps, and encourage you to have your say, too.

Renee, a 30-something city dweller, is always on the lookout for shopping deals (current obsession - belts). She is in the process of getting a dog, looking for a condo (preferably on the subway line) and trying to find enough storage space for her shoe collection.

Vanessa "VG" Green currently resides in Toronto's West End and spends her time enjoying fine wines and dive bars. The 20-something aspires to one day become a kind of Tina Fey/Martha Stewart hybrid, but has fears about the supernatural powers such a being would possess. If given the chance, she'd love to make you a steak dinner and unwind while watching old episodes of Felicity.

    my father died. I am his only kid Im 27. my grandmother took a life insurance policy out on my father. I was never told the details. The arrangements was no funeral parlor 2 days after he died we went to the family church and had mass then went straight to the cemetery. I am unsure of how to find out if I was lied to. or if my grandmother was the one to end up with what ever the life insurance paid off. I have heard that she may have been the primary beneficiary as long as she survived his dying. and I would then be the secondary, only being beneficiary if my grandmother was deceased when he died. can someone put this in perspective for me please?

    Singles & Dating - 7 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Okay,here's the deal. Whenever I like a guy,I don't want him to right away (if at all), so I act uninterested even when he shows interest.It's childish but it's a defense mechanism for me. So there's this guy I really like a lot and I've given him the cold shoulder, even when I tried to show interest (I'm messed up,I know). I want to know if there's a way for me to fix the damage,start over maybe. The only method that I haven't tried is telling him flat out,which I cannot (will not) do, especially since I think he make have lost some interest. If anyone has any USEFUL advice,strategies,etc., I'd greatly appreciate them
