Her dark and deep dark kit options have been called out for not truly catering to women with dark skin. Here’s more proof that the collection underserves darker women. Kim recently admitted that she uses her creme contour sticks in shade dark. If she, a fair-skinned women, is using these products in the second-darkest shade the brand makes, then what exactly can they meant to do for darker women? Short answer: Not much....

It’s estimated that only 5% of women naturally possess the body types portrayed in the media. Those constant images of perfection make it hard to appreciate our own bodies — whether they’re punctuated by thick thighs, rounded bellies, or decidedly not perky breasts. That’s why more diverse body representation is so important. You NEED to see curves and plains that look like your own. And after a while you will start to see the beauty of your form....

In all, after 15 years as a vegetarian (I just passed my “anniversary” last month), I’ve realized something: we vegetarians confuse the heck out of most meat eaters. And so I offer you all a simple guide in what NOT to feed a vegetarian who comes to your house: Pepperoni pizza with the pepperoni pulled off. It’s not “exactly the same as a plain slice.” But it does taste exactly like a slice of pepperoni pizza....

It’s probably naive of me to be shocked at how many parents spank their babies. And it’s clearly … wait, hold on here. I have to stop in the middle of writing this post to point out how weird it feels to even write the phrase, “spanking babies.” SPANKING! BABIES! This is something people are doing?!? That’s so messed up, people. So messed up. I can’t imagine that if you’re already spanking a child that young, it’s not part of a well thought-out disciplinary program....

But after you see this quick and easy recipe for microwave pancakes from Oprah.com, morning meals will get a whole lot more satisfying for your entire family. (That Oprah. She’s always on top of things.) Who doesn’t love a stack of hot cakes dripping with butter, syrup, and all sorts of sticky goodness? Forget busting the griddle out tomorrow morning — all you need is a few minutes, your microwave, and the ability to push the buttons for a yummy complete breakfast....

The name Jace can be for a girl or a boy and there are different ways to pronounce it. Some moms go with the one syllable Jace, rhymes with Chase, while others go with two syllables — so it sounds like Jay-see. The pronounciation Jay-see is mostly heard for girls. There are quite a few ways to spell the name. The name Jace is said to mean healer. For a boy, spellings include Jace, Jase, and Jayce....

The only downside? That film REALLY lacks diversity. Seriously, it would make you think there weren’t any Black women in the 17th century — much less the ’90s! And as a Black woman who loved all things magical as a child, never seeing characters that looked like me took a toll. It sent the message that these movies weren’t FOR me, and that if I wanted to imagine myself as a powerful witch, I also had to imagine myself as white....

She had a lumpectomy and eight cycles of chemotherapy. Then, a week before her treatment was due to end, she found a second malignant lump. So then Hannah had a mastectomy, followed by five weeks of radiotherapy. The entire process has been grueling and heart-rending to say the least, but make no mistake: Foxley is a fighter who isn’t backing down and refuses to be anything less than positive. So much so that she chose to pose naked in Cosmo, revealing what her body looks like today....

Even though I had her when I was young and unmarried, I didn’t want her to endure seeing a string of pointless relationships start and stop at our doorstep. No sneaking Mr. So-and-So out the front door before she woke up for school, no letting dudes weasel their way in with little blended family-esque outings, even if they had kids her age. There was a complete and total separation of church and state....

But one designer must work under the “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” philosophy — because that’s really the only plausible explanation for why Alexandre Vauthier debuted his “nip-slip” dress at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Yes, I said a “nip-slip” dress — basically a dress that fully (and deliberately) exposes one’s boob for the world to see. Don’t believe me? Or do you think I’m exaggerating a bit?...

“Next to impossible,” one mom said. “Principals always defend their teachers and you will be looked at as the problem.” So I went straight to the sources in Teacher Mommies (a private group that requires joining) to find out if that’s really true. Several teachers gave their perspective of the issue to help you decide if and how you should pursue this course: mariannainidaho: “The best thing to do is to talk to the principal directly and be prepared to answer a lot of questions....

Rick Hanestad rescued Wiley after his mother was killed when he was just two or three weeks old and has been a beloved family member ever since. He is especially close to Hanestad’s 8-year-old daughter Hailey, who sleeps with him and even playfully howls at the moon with Wiley in the evenings. He’s treated just like a dog — going for walks on a leash, playing fetch with a tennis ball....

But depression isn’t something that should be taken lightly during pregnancy. If left untreated, it will only get worse and could turn into postpartum depression. There is hope if you’re feeling blue, though. Here’s everything you need to know about identifying depression and what to do about it: Who’s At Risk: Prenatal depression doesn’t discriminate. If you have a close family member with depression or have a history of depression yourself, you may be more susceptible to prenatal depression, but anyone is still at risk....

Oh, and affordable! The five-piece set retails for $27 at BoxLunch.

It’s not your typical cream soda: This one is homemade using soda water, flavored syrup, and cream or milk. I used to drink them all the time when I lived in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, thanks to Cornerstone Coffeehouse where my sister worked. She made them just right, and I had to restrain myself from gulping it down. Since moving to NYC, there are very few places I can find them. They make them at Crumbs but that’s a hike for me....

With my mom friends, we all kind of get that all plans are tentative until confirmed. Kids get sick, they stay up too late, they nap off-schedule, and on and on. I have had friends show up an hour late for playdates without batting an eye because, hey, that’s motherhood. But with our child-free friends, that stuff doesn’t fly. If the friendship matters, keep the dates you set. Make them so you have a sitter and, unless you’re deathly ill, show up....
