According to Liana Satenstein’s reporting, you may want to chuck your knee-high plastic boots in the trash for good. Also, surprisingly, plastic doesn’t stretch as much as other shoe fabrics. “Feet naturally swell in the afternoon, so a person can go from a size [seven] to a size [nine], and plastic shoes don’t expand with the foot,” Positano said. “A leather shoe, or a shoe that is made out of hide, has the ability to expand a little bit....
My first reaction: It’s got to be too good to be true, right? There are tons of things on my to-do list that can’t even be completed in over two weeks time, and just my luck — losing a few pounds is one of them! Just by looking at the loads of before and after pictures on the diet’s Facebook page, it has worked for some. But I have some bad news, ladies....
Now for some reason, if you haven’t spent hours on end analyzing your face in the mirror, and you’re not sure if you have a bad side, let me gently break the bad news: you most certainly do. The right side of your face is your bad side, the left is your good side. Don’t believe me? There’s scientific proof that it’s true. Researchers from Wake Forest University presented observers with photos of people’s profiles, and time and time again, the observers said they preferred the left side....

Nonstick pans do make cooking scrambled eggs — and doing the cleanup after — a whole lot easier. But just this spring a group of 200 scientists issued a warning about the chemicals applied to those pans. And yes, that goes for the so-called “green” versions, too.

In the post, the woman talks about arguments she has with her sister-in-law and her friend (who she calls “Dave”) about using her child support money on personal luxuries. Her sister-in-law thinks the money should go into a separate account that is used only for the kids, and Dave thinks she should use the money she earns from her job to pay for her nails. But she disagrees, writing, “Yes, I do use child support to get my nails done, and no I’m not sorry....

Not liking kids, in general, is a tough confession to make. But when they’re kids of someone you want to stick around in your life? Even more complicated. “It’s hard enough to be patient and loving with your own kids 100 percent of the time,” says Paul Hokemeyer, JD, PhD, a licensed marriage and family therapist who works out of Los Angeles, New York City, and Telluride, Colorado. “When you’re forced to deal with a kid that’s not your own and who brings out the worst in you, it’s nearly impossible....
A little girl and her toy duckie have been duct taped to a wall in what’s become one of the most popular “redneck discipline” forwards to make its way around the interwebs. So why did that one get a big guffaw but Corde Honea is going to jail for doing pretty much the same thing? Honea duct taped his girlfriend’s toddler to the wall, and he was charged with “intentional child abuse” for the act....
It didn’t start out that way. When he first became interested in games, I tried to keep track. I created a stack of screentime cards, 30 minutes per card. He got a certain amount a week, and it was up to him to decide how he used that time. That worked for a while. But I got busier, and he became way more serious about his gaming. I became less vigilant about limiting his laptop time....
Part of me understands the obsession — Supermodels! Wings! Musical performances! It’s everything that people imagine fashion shows are like. But a bigger part of me doesn’t get it at all. I haven’t shopped at Victoria’s Secret for years — but maybe I’ve been missing out. My coworker (and friend) Jessica Torres and I decided to go undercover to see if shopping at Victoria’s Secret would make us feel like Angels....
Both Natalie and Chloe were upset with how the situation was handled. Little did they know that Virginia was only going to add more fuel to their fire. But host Ruth Langford pushed back against the writer, saying that breastfeeding was a “natural bodily function.” “There are many natural bodily functions but we don’t do them in front of other people,” Virginia said. “If you are in a public place it’s not necessarily something you want to see....
“Mother and son do not regularly visit at all — this is one of the first times. I think everything should be done in his son’s best interests, however as an ‘outsider’ I think the sleeping with his mother will definitely cause issues, and the fact that he is allowed no independence,” she commented.

“Activewear in general isn’t bad,” clarifies Dhaval G. Bhanusali, MD, a dermatologist in private practice in New York City. “It’s more worrisome when people don’t change after working out.” Here’s what you have to look forward to (not!) when you sit around in your sweaty gear: Contact dermatitis: “People can have allergies to various materials in workout clothes, including elastic in the waistband,” Dr. Bhanusali says. “Over time, with repeated friction and moisture, the elastic can become more exposed and lead to an itchy rash....
In this situation, if it was a cold, a runny nose, even a sore throat on the mend, I would tell them to come. But vomiting for days straight with only one day with no symptoms? Too risky. Of course, my mom made me feel guilty for saying no. My mom reminded me that it was her job to make me feel guilty, so I understood. I really wanted to see my sister and her family — I missed them....
It’s hard not to notice Dr. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) has been floundering in the love pit that is Seattle Grace/Mercy West. She can never get the guy, or at least get a guy to stick. So it was about time the writers threw her a bone, and what a tasty bone she got. Scott Foley! Yum. Er, rather Henry, a patient who’s plagued with constantly growing tumors that prompt a constant call for surgery....
Amazing hair? Fish for friends? Cool shell bra? What’s not to love, right? And while most of us had “Little Mermaid” merch as kids, none of us had this scandalous Ariel swimsuit that has parents losing their minds. “Me and my partner were quite shocked about it,” she later told the Tamworth Herald. “It only affected a very small number of the swimsuits which were available from George, but we’d like to reassure our customers that we have removed all stock from sale and will ensure this doesn’t happen again....
