At any rate, Bridezillas aren’t the only ones to turn a party into a nightmare. Introducing the Baby Showerzilla — the woman who terrorizes her baby shower guests with her outrageous demands and behavior. Here’s some of the worst real-life examples women have ever seen. It’s generally considered unusual for a woman to have a shower for her second baby, especially if the baby is of the same gender. One woman had a second-baby shower and requested cash only instead of gifts....

I have a 13-year-old sister who is already is 5’8”, and I want her to feel confident in her body. I don’t want her to think being tall is a negative thing. I want to be a good example for her; I decided I needed to investigate The Tall Society. I needed to find these tall, empowering women that I didn’t know were out there. We spent the day laughing at all the strange pick-up lines we hear....

When I went to Neutrogena’s website to see if there were any other incidents of allergic reactions, I found there were several similar complaints. As of May 2018, the ingredients listed on the website were: “Water, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Isostearyl Palmitate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Hexylene Glycol, PEG-4 Laurate, PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Sucrose Cocoate, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Benzoic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Fragrance (EU 1279).” So it’s unclear what exactly could be causing this surge of allergic reactions, or if there’s a real surge at all....

But you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a great matte lipstick — but which affordable, mass-market brand makes the best matte liquid lipstick of them all? I went on a mission to find the best matte liquid lipstick at the drugstore. I went to my local CVS having done zero research into the brands and formulas available — you know, like in the ancient times before Google and YouTube would tell you exactly which brands to buy....

Most people run on similar internal clocks, but there are some people who biologically prefer the nighttime, so in that case, it’s better to keep a consistent sleep schedule rather than forcing yourself to wake up earlier. title: “This Is The Best Time To Have Sex” ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-17” author: “Luis Her” Most people run on similar internal clocks, but there are some people who biologically prefer the nighttime, so in that case, it’s better to keep a consistent sleep schedule rather than forcing yourself to wake up earlier....

That stress is only worse if you’re a passenger that’s plus-size. Twitter user @yrfatfriend revealed what it’s like to fly when you’re “a very fat person,” and it’s horrific at best. title: “This Is The Sad Reality Of Flying When You Re Really Fat " ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-10” author: “Sandra Gray” That stress is only worse if you’re a passenger that’s plus-size.

One TV star is officially done with that ridiculous stereotype and is representing for plus-size women everywhere. A post shared by Nicole Byer (@nicolebyer) on Mar 19, 2018 at 11:08am PDT A post shared by Nicole Byer (@nicolebyer) on Feb 19, 2018 at 11:06am PST

Some of the locals think it has to do with the drinking water, but geneticists disagree even though they haven’t been able to come up with a more scientific solution (but they suspect it has to do with genetic isolation and inbreeding). Still, there’s been a recent decline in twin births since the town switched from drinking spring water to drinking underground well water. So maybe it is something in the water after all....

After all, once your vagina stretches to accommodate your bundle of joy, it seems dubious that it would snap back to its original shape. Odds seem good that it may suffer some wear and tear, and maybe even feel “looser” than before… which may have you worried whether sex will feel as pleasurable for you or your partner. Good news! While this is a common concern among women, the outlook isn’t as bleak as you might think....

Mom Arla Jan Wilson originally posted the photo to her Facebook page with the disclaimer that she doesn’t like to vent. But the sad photo, so simple and yet so startling, has become a lightning rod for parents across the nation who are more than happy to vent on Alex’s behalf. What happened at the multi-school choral performance at the Georgia high school was wrong. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon. Being separated and singled out from their peers is “normal” for these “different” kids....

Sure, it’s one big lovefest now, but I’ve gotta be honest: about six weeks ago, my husband and I were losing our freakin’ minds. Up until then, they had been such sweet, easy little bundles, and we were sure it would just get easier from there. But before the “it gets better” part, they decided to take a detour and steer us toward a crazy-making place where no one ever sleeps and the cries just keep on coming … At 6 weeks old, it’s like my babies suddenly discovered their voices and weren’t afraid to use them....

So we decided to check out some alternatives: Maple-flavored syrups. We lined up seven different syrups plus a homemade maple-flavored syrup for a taste test here at the CafeMom office. And just for fun, we threw in some real maple syrup to see if people could tell the difference. The results will reassure those of you who’ve been buying the imitation maple syrup — looks like you’re not really missing out on much....

I’ve already admitted that women in vintage-style lingerie make me feel, er, let’s just say they make me feel a little bit funny inside because, well, they’re HOT. And the ladies of Mad Men are making high-waist briefs (a.k.a. granny panties) — as well as girdles, long line bras, pointy bras, garter belts, and stockings — sexy again. What Madonna did for the bustier in the 1980s, Joan Holloway and Betty Draper are doing for underwear trends today....

College students were polled. College students?! Yes, college students. Lisa Oakes is a graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio and she polled 221 students, both men and women, and asked them their thoughts on women with tattoos. Those involved with the survey were shown photos of ladies with and without tattoos and then asked to rate their intelligence, ability to commit, sexiness, desirability, and level of warmth....

Dear twins, I really cannot wait to meet you, but do you think you can stop kicking me in my cervix? That would make mama really happy. Also, maybe we can use the kicks to our advantage. Dad and I are having a hard time with choosing names, so maybe we can tell you a name and you can kick if you like it. Just not to the cervix, remember?...

Then you probably haven’t met the sanctimommy. You know, that lady who manages to make you feel worse instead of better after you leave the real or virtual playground with a look, or verbal admonishment. Or perhaps you are the sanctimommy. But how do you know if you’re one of these moms that thrives on being right while telling everyone else they’re doing it wrong? Read on! If you believe your parenting “philosophy” is the only way and post links on message boards that back up said superior methods — you might be a sanctimommy....

Well, if the culinary capital of the nation can’t get it right, does anyone north of the Mason-Dixon get it right? And what are we doing wrong? What exactly goes into the quintessential red velvet cake? A red velvet cake is a devil’s food cake (not a chocolate cake) with red food coloring and cream cheese frosting. Legend has it that the cake was actually born in the North, at New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel....
