This is her story, in her own words. Learning to Cope: There is life after SIDS. “I will love you forever, this, I promise.” The hardest job in the world is undoubtedly being a mother. The job that no one ever wants to have is being a mother who is bereaved. When my Aiden died on June 15, 2004, I felt like I was in a whirlwind of chaos and misunderstanding....

This Week’s Secret: My daughter is 4 months old and I know the whole, “you are supposed to warm the bottle” nonsense. My mom is always telling me, my friends are always telling me, and on and on. But I give my baby bottles of pumped breast milk directly from the fridge and she doesn’t seem to mind at all. So is this really so bad? I feel like I am being some kind of insensitive mom and not attending to her needs in the best way possible, but it also seems like a waste of time if I can just skip the step....

Although the items were affordable and the line was somewhat size-inclusive, I still had a difficult time shopping, thanks to some size chart confusion. The issues with the Savage x Fenty size chart made me wonder if the brand had really considered the challenges plus-size shoppers often face. There’s definitely a lot of potential for the Savage x Fenty lingerie line, and I can’t wait to see what drops next!...

If you’ve been thinking of playing with new hairstyles but don’t want to cut or color it permanently – rose braids just might be your new go-to!

For the first time since that incident, we can now watch it, too. The killer whale attack video has just been released to the public. And just like the spectators, even though we know it’s terrible, we can’t help watching anyway. This wasn’t the only animal attack at SeaWorld, either. Tilikum, a 11,000-pound killer whale, has fatally attacked trainers three times. The last time was in 2010 when it pulled trainer Dawn Brancheau under water, leading to her death....

Well, today is your lucky day. Because the restaurant Moe’s Southwest Grill has conducted some microwave oven experiments on behalf of curious eaters everywhere!

So not only does this video show what happens when you nuke an array of random ingredients — it shows how they explode in slow motion....

More from CafeMom: 21 Things ’80s Kids Did That Would Horrify Us Now And while some of the birth trends are somewhat predictable (more developed countries tend to have older first-time moms, while the majority of countries with very young moms are in less-industrialized nations), some of the statistics might be surprising! So what is the normal age for women to start having children? The answer has so many variables it’s hard to give a definitive answer....

From showing Desi (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) performing analingus on Marnie (Allison Williams) to showing Natalia (Shiri Appleby) crawling on all fours before having rough sex with Adam (Adam Driver) to showing Shoshanna (Zosia Marnet) smoking crack, “Girls” has continually nudged the “appropriate” needle. However, it seems even HBO has its limits. “From the beginning, we were aware that what we were doing was sexually provocative, and that’s what made it interesting and new and fun,” Apatow said....

If you’re planning on making it a lazy Sunday today, and you’ve got a hankering for something delicious, I highly recommend you make yourself a batch of these super-yummy muffins.

Fuller lips? A huskier, more womanly voice? (Why did I get stuck with the unattractive pregnancy symptoms, like nausea, gas, skin tags, and cankles?) It makes me wonder, are there other totally oddball pregnancy signs I’ve never even heard of before? There are plenty of physical signs of pregnancy that I’m either personally familiar with or have heard referenced time and time again. For instance: upset stomach, a super-enhanced sense of smell, restless leg syndrome, congestion, hemorrhoids, exhaustion, headaches, nonstop peeing, giant hooters, itching, constipation, food cravings/aversions, larger feet, heartburn, skin tone and texture changes, hair growth, bleeding gums, clumsiness, a metallic taste in the mouth, ‘pregnancy brain,’ and excess saliva....

Of course I don’t scream for fear of waking up our kids who have recently decided to go on a sleep strike leaving us to rarely get any touchy feely time in anyway so I should really take it when I can get it. But I’m trying to make the best out of every touchy feely moment — trying to make the best of this moment for everyone. So here’s my list on the places a man should never touch on a woman’s body along with the worst times to do it....

But it’s not all awesome. Along with this accessibility comes the pressure to be ~perfect~ at all times. From YouTubers abusing FaceTune to no-makeup looks that require 15 products (but are still tagged #IWokeUpLikeThis), the stress is REAL — and one Instagram star is getting real about it. “Love yourself, it’s 2016,” wrote one commenter. “You don’t need to tear yourself down smdh,” wrote another. “YOU’RE STILL PERFECT DON’T HATE YOURSELF,” wrote someone else....

You heard me. According to Instagram beauty “experts,” the secret to perfect skin has been in your mouth this entire time. What a world. The fact that it’s shocking enough to get those Instagram views probably doesn’t hurt, either. But that’s not what she shows. Far more pressure than you should be applying with a flosser, that’s for sure. title: “This Blogger Claims You Can Remove Blackheads With Dental Floss” ShowToc: true date: “2024-10-02” author: “Margaret Leitner” You heard me....
