Bruce Littlefield's Life 101

Life 101 – Behind the Scenes

Posted on March 13, 2014 by Bruce Littlefield

Enjoyed meeting Jenni Pulos, star of Bravo’s Flipping Out with Jeff Lewis on set of the Better Show (Airs: 3/17-Check listings. NYC on Hallmark.) Jenni has a new book, Grin and Bear It: How to Be Happy No Matter What Reality Throws Your Way on how to survive (and thrive) any situation. Jenni’s been dumped by her spouse on TV, told she’d never make it in Hollywood, and encouraged by her family with: “when are you getting a real job?” She showed them! My takeaway: don’t let failure get you down. Grin, Bear it and fail forward. It’s a secret successful people know well.

Gossip! – Bruce in NY Post

Posted on March 11, 2014 by Bruce Littlefield

Thanks Richard Johnson! By the way, Estelle likes cappuccino, and I hereby declare I’ll bring her one everyday on set when this movie gets made! Estelle deserves another Academy Award! Catch her starring opposite two-time Tony winner Stephen Spinella in The Velocity of Autumn, coming to the Boothe Theatre in April. It’s gotten raves in its run at the Arena Stage in D.C. Estelle plays a 79-year-old woman living in her Brooklyn brownstone with bad memory and enough explosives to take down most of the block. Her long-absent son enters as an unlikely mediator on how she should spend old age and hilarity begins…

Gossip! – NY Confidenti@l

Posted on February 19, 2014 by Bruce Littlefield

Gossip presented without comment. Okay, one: “Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.” (From Game of Thrones) Let me also say if you’ve ever loved, you MUST take the time to read 93-year-old Roger Angell’s piece in the New Yorker. You’ll thank me. You’ll also probably take the time to listen to the next elderly person you’re in the room with… And if you’re in a couple, you’ll definitely get into bed tonight and appreciate the sweet warmth of a hip or the gentle brush of a foot beneath the covers. Just knowing they are there.

Lifestyle 101 – At My Desk

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Bruce Littlefield

I think it’s fun to see how people live and work. Here’s a snap of me and my office in the city.

Hansel & Gretel By Paul Heath, the artist known as Dumb.
“Bruce” My sister’s framed 3rd grade essay in which she proclaims me the world’s best frozen French fry chef and ends with “He likes me to just be myself.”
Balloon Santa My doctor’s husband made him for me after my back surgery. (That was two days before Christmas and I’m feeling much better than balloon Santa).
Handmade dog A gift from my friend Barbara when Bedtime Book for Dogs came out.
Fun in a Bottle A game I created and sold years ago.
Middle school yearbooks I’ve been picking away on a memoir.
A WWII Army towel Inscribed with my grandfather Pop’s name.
Assorted photos Scott, Westminster and me (and an early modeling shot)

What does you work space look like?

Talking About My Friends

Posted on January 23, 2014 by Bruce Littlefield

Meet the Mikearoon, delicious brainchild of my British pal Chef Michael Ian Hales. I met Michael vacationing in Greece. He’s adorable and his handmade Mikearoons are unbelievably delicious. At left, my Tutti Fruity collection, a rainbow of flavors: licorice, strawberry, pistachio, cotton candy, lemon, orange, blueberry & popcorn. There are lots of flavors and designs, as well as color themed for weddings. If you want something unique for Valentine’s, he makes heart shaped and personalized. Best part: all his Mikearoons are Gluten Free and with discount code: “Bruce” they are also 10% off!

The Life Doctor Is In

Posted on January 8, 2014 by Bruce Littlefield

Providing you with life prescriptions to make life happier, simpler, and cheaper.

Today’s Home Rx :
DID YOU KNOW? Aluminum foil can take the place of a dryer sheet and will eliminate static in your clothes. It can also be crumpled up and used as a scrubber for pots and pans!
QUESTION OF THE DAY asked by my pal Pam: “A woman in my office talks on her cell in the bathroom. It drives me nuts and grosses me out. Should I tell her to knock it off?”
My advice: “If someone wants to have the ambient flatulence and flush, that’s her dirty business. Just do your business and move along.”
And those are your life doctor’s orders!

Holidays – Light it up!

Posted on December 2, 2013 by Bruce Littlefield

Christmas makes us happy like no other holiday. It’s downright fun (except at one-day sales and during light detangling) and presents us all with a chance to be kids again and throw a little twinkle around. For most homes, the tree is the centerpiece — a giant twinkling sculpture showcasing the memories of our past, the glitter of our present, and beneath its branches, the unopened excitement of the future. Picking the tree has become one of my favorite holiday traditions. For all my tips on picking, lighting and decorating your tree, Click here because Visit Vortex features all my secrets.
