Birthdays are supposed to be festive affairs and so when Son #3 recently had one we decided to party it up by going to a local Italian all-you-can-eat buffet. It was insanely delicious and we all had a great time. Until. On the way out my son looked up at me with glowing eyes and …
This can’t be real, right? I mean, wouldn’t a rotary phone need to be connected to a wire?? P.S. I totally remember using rotary phones when I was kid. I’m that old. I also had a pager in college. I’m that cool. Mexico overtook the US as the fattest nation on the planet. Scientists finally …
Do you remember the day you got your first period? Of course you do! (Unless you’re a dude and then take a hall pass and excuse yourself for the day. You’re welcome.) Because it was like the biggest deal ever when we were kids! I blame that on not being able to drive, date or …

See? We’re so obsessed with thick, luscious locks that even adorably bald babies are supposed to put a mop on their top to prove they’re a girl! Big accomplishment today: Remember the age-old gym debate of camel toe versus muffin top? You know, when you can’t decide whether to hike your ill-fitting workout pants up …

When I thought this was makeup I thought it was crazy cool but when I found out it was a tattoo all I could think about is how painful and dangerous getting your eyeLIDS tattooed would me. I mean, one wrong slip with the needle and you’re blinded! Or you just got free Lasik! This …
Sitting alone on the exam table, in a paper gown and feeling naked in more ways than one, I stared down at the number on the card in my hand. It was for a geneticist so I could be tested for the BRCA gene, a known marker for breast cancer. “It’s time, Charlotte,” my doctor …
THIS. Just. I have no. Ah. Okay, what in the 7th circle of Dante’s nightmare IS THIS?! (Seriously, pause and take a guess – I’d LOVE to see in the comments how many of you got this right just from looking at the picture!) This picture? Is the back of a man who has just …
“Wanna see my rash??” is definitely on the top ten list of things you should probably never say at the gym. Not that that stopped me. “Don’t worry, it’s not contagious,” I assured the Gym Buddies as I pushed my sock down and stuck my (post-workout) foot in their faces. It’s a testament to our …
Rule #1 of abs: Don’t ride your pants so low that you have to hold a dumbbell for modesty purposes. Okay, that’s actually the #1 rule of life. (Anyone remember when Carrot Top wasn’t scary? Yeah, me neither.) The “Wicked Wiper” is supposedly the ab move to end all ab moves. According to Women’s Health magazine, they …
