Actually, she’s wearing white pants and as anyone knows you can’t have your period and wear white pants at the same time. Or ride white horses. Or play tennis in a white tennis dress. I’m guessing she’s the girl whose babysitter showed her Jaws at age 5. “Hormonal” is not generally seen as a compliment. …
I’m not against ALL “fitspo” pictures. Like this one. Nothing motivates me more to workout hard than the thought of getting dropped into a gladiator arena with a bunch of teenagers on a reality show. The other day as I sat happily pinning away on Pinterest, a taut, perfectly chiseled six-pack caught my eye. No …

No I don’t think I’m guilty of this one. Or, at least, I’m no more guilty of it than all the other girls who wear leggings or yoga pants to the gym. Although feel free to disillusion me in the comments. So many sins, so little time, really… No, really. It’s 11:30 at night and …
This pic is completely irrelevant except as a subtext for telling you that the closest I’ve ever come to a celebrity in real life was sitting just a few rows behind Billy Corgan at a basketball game in the 90’s. It’s my one claim to fame and I’m sticking with it. Plus, Batman is always …

“Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you? Smelly cat, smelly cat, it’s not your fault!” Phoebe’s second best song, right after the hair one. You know you laughed. Motivational speakers are famous for saying things about leaning ladders against the right building or shooting arrows at the right target or marrying the right …
Haven’t you heard of an ear thermometer!? Gasp. This is not the first noise you want to hear when your baby is born. “What? What’s wrong?!” I struggled to sit up as best as a woman who’s just had her entire abdomen rearranged like a Rubik’s cube can do. Nurses, doctors, husband – all were …
This is my friend Tania. When I first met her, I was incredibly jealous. I’ll admit it. This picture doesn’t do her justice – she could easily win Miss Universe she’s that gorgeous. And she’s had two kids. But then I got to know her and she’s one of those rare types that are as …

My favorite reader questions are the ones that you think would have a simple answer and yet instead of just saying “yes” or “no” I take the opportunity to turn it into a story all about me and only tangentially address their question. Today’s question in part 4 of my Help a Reader Out (by …

Swanky restaurant (read: menu I can’t afford to look at much less order from), all gussied up (read: hair, makeup and heels!) and in good company (read: my hot husband and some of our friends): the stage was perfectly set for a romantic (read: child-free) Valentine’s dinner. So when one of our friends leaned back …
