Some people aren’t down with epidurals, and that’s perfectly fine. Like any medical procedure, they do carry risks, like blood pressure changes and headaches, and they can even stall labor in some cases. But for other people, epidurals might be the key to having the exact birth experience they want. And women should be free to make their own choices, regardless of what some smug dude on the Internet has to say about it....

But, once time has passed and you’ve gotten a couple of good therapy sessions in, you learn to laugh about those mortifying incidents. Today’s embarrassing moment happened on a blind date … that, needless to say, ended early. I was supper skinny as a teen and thought I could wear a size smaller pair of dress jeans that were old but they looked great . Needless to say this was a blind date....

Nutcracker Sweet, which goes on sale in late October, is MAC’s biggest and best launches ever. Where most brands give us two or three sad eye shadow palettes for the holidays, MAC is blessing us with 45 separate products and kits. That’s right; this is a holiday monster. Let’s take a look at literally EVERYTHING in MAC’s upcoming Nutcracker Sweet Holiday collection. I haven’t confirmed this yet, but per this Instagram post, that ASTOUNDING neon pink mascara looks like it might be MAC’s In Extreme Dimension Color Lash Mascara — which, per the brand, is coming this winter....

There were several adults around (including me), and he was yanked out in minutes, if not seconds (by me). However, since that day, I have unrelenting pool and drowning fears, complete with heart palpitations and palm-sweating anxiety. When my unable-to-swim toddler jumped into the pool that day, I don’t know what it was exactly that gave me the post-traumatic stress from which I still suffer when we’re around pools — a) the disbelief that my child had jumped fearlessly and without thought into the deep pool, b) the fact that I didn’t see it happen, or c) how his life flashed before my eyes....

Now Gigi is speaking out about her terrifying ordeal, and it turns out President Obama is to thank for her newfound freedom.

I am a preschool teacher, at a Christian school, and we have a very strict dress code. We must dress professional, business casual, but I’m running around with kids all day, so I need comfort and wash-ability when it comes to clothes. We must wear closed toed shoes, or sandals with straps (no heels). We can wear pants, capris, and the occasional dark denim jean, skirts and dresses, but they must come down to at least our knee....

Beauty brands often whisk influencers away for lavish, all-expenses-paid vacations, and the iconic tropical #trippinwithtarte blogger holiday is a literal who’s who of the makeup world. But if you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering, “How much do influencer trips like that actually cost?” How much are brands honestly spending to ensure that 20 big-name Instagram stars are photographed holding — and using — their products while posing “casually” by the beach?...

While it would be incredibly difficult to imagine living in a home as lovely and stately as the White House, it looks like our outgoing president and the first lady are still going to be sitting pretty. Barack and Michelle Obama will reportedly rent a tony Tudor in an elegant Washington enclave.

The first sign of trouble came at 16 weeks, when they were diagnosed with a placental disease called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. In-utero surgery was successful. Until — pop! — at 19 weeks, Twin A’s water broke and the resident on duty at 4 a.m. suggested we induce, terminating the pregnancy. We said no thanks. We were sent home to await the impending labor, or, hope against hope, make it to 23 weeks still pregnant and without infection....

The Invitations: The Food: “‘Baby’-sized finger foods, such as little quiches, mini-cupcakes, or tiny cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches, may be old standbys at traditional baby showers, but for a co-ed crowd, it’s best to get away from that,” says Haselberger.

I had learned to grin and bear during migraines caused by dehydration or extreme nausea with no actual upchuck. Herbal tea with honey had become a routine or I would merely take baths in essential oils, then lie in the dark attempting to force myself asleep. However, during my last trimester, I received a pain that scared me to no end. The abdominal pain had come back but with a vengeance....

Hear that, nice guys? You really do finish first. Although apparently, you’ll never admit it and that’s why we love you. According to the Washington Post, “humility” is a new hot topic of research. And what’s being uncovered should make us all take a second look at this personality trait — especially because humble men are more likely to have lasting, fulfilling relationships. Now before you start thinking of, say, Walter White during the first episode of Breaking Bad — passive to the point of being a doormat — let us explain....

The camel toe shoes comes with a high price tag ($825 Nordstrom). Maison Margiela produces other similar footwear in various colors.

Cleo De Nile is listed as one of the “Gloom Beach Dolls.” Because apparently anorexic hooker doll didn’t seem like it would get it on the shelves of the major toy stores. Pity, with a waist that’s so thin she almost has none, it would be much more apt for the Monster High mummy. Although the books are aimed at teenage girls (which actually made a “shaving and waxing” doll somewhat palatable), this supposed beach babe with barely anything covering her lady parts and the aforementioned non-existent waist is aimed at girls 6 years and up according to FAO Schwartz’s listing for “manufacturer’s age....

After divorcing her husband of 24 years, she started dating the then 19-year-old Charlie. Two years of blissful love later, the kid her fiance is now 21 and she’s 51, making up your typical weirdo B-list celebrity marriage. But don’t feel too bad for Hulk (if anything, feel bad for Nick). After the divorce, he also fled into the arms of a super-inappropriate girl: a friend of his daughter’s.
