I am a very healthy person, but wasn’t always so diligent about caring for myself.

After my first child, I started [...]

I hadn’t quite realized that it was spring wardrobe time until my husband announced a last minute vacation down south, leaving me to walk into my closet to realize…I have absolutely nothing to wear. I’m still in winter mode, aka, jeans, boots, layers, layers, layers. I’m not ready to show my body in a warm [...]

We’re living in a material world, and we’re material…well, you know the words. We all have something in our life that we can’t live without – it saves us time, money or headache in our day to day tasks. And because we love it so much, we shout its virtues to our friends, we give [...]

Thumbnail image for True Gender Neutrality?

Recently, a story I remember hearing a few years back was pushed back into the media spotlight  - British couple Beck Laxton and Kieran Cooper had a child whose sex they refused to reveal publicly, in order to avoid pressuring him (her?) into any kind of gender stereotype.

by Elizabeth February 22, 2012
It’s hometown time! You know what that means: awkward conversations about “intentions,” lots of rehashing about failed relationships and girls’ broken hearts, and laying eyes on the people who spawned Courtney.

Our Favorite Whitney Houston Moments

by Meredith February 14, 2012
The world has lost a songbird. From Waiting to Exhale, to singing to our troops on an aircraft carrier for free as they came from the first Gulf War, talent and beauty like this just doesn’t come along every day. No one else can sing the National Anthem like she could. And we doubt anyone ever will again. Personally, my favorite Whitney [...]

Grammy Awards 2012: What the Heck Was That, Nicki Minaj?

by Meredith February 13, 2012
I’m not going lie.  I am not a huge Nicki Minaj fan. Yes, she has killer beats, and her songs are super catchy.  But I didn’t really care for her anymore when I figured out what she was saying so quickly in her hit song, Super Bass. He cold, he dope, he might sell coke. [...]
