That’s definitely not the case for the women of Phi Mu at the University of Alabama. These sorority sisters live in a newly renovated home with a $13 million price tag. You read that correctly. THIRTEEN MILLION. This isn’t a sorority house — it’s a sorority mansion. Let’s check it out. title: “University Of Alabama S New 13 Million Phi Mu Sorority House” ShowToc: true date: “2024-08-27” author: “John Cape” That’s definitely not the case for the women of Phi Mu at the University of Alabama....

You can adjust and add to it as you like, but this basic recipe, adapted from Simply Recipes, is a good place to start. If you add lettuce and enough vegetables, you can even spoon it into tortilla shells and call it dinner. Ole! 7-Layer Dip 2 cups of refried beans 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder, Tabasco chipotle sauce, or adobo sauce, more to taste (or plain chili powder to taste) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin Salt 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese 1/4 cup chopped green Anaheim chiles (canned) OR a Tbsp of chopped pickled jalapenos (more to taste) 1 avocado, peeled and chopped 1 tomato chopped 1/3 cup of sour cream 1/2 small can of sliced ripe black olives 1 bunch of green onions, chopped...

And the biggest bra problem? The annoying back fat that refuses to behave. Many bras claim to “control” back fat and create a smooth line underneath your garments — but how many of these bras actually get the job done? We found out. Jovanna and I scoured the internet, and found the top rated smoothing bras, which all claim to smooth your rolls. Do these bras really keep your back fat intact?...

After learning to appreciate my body no matter size I am (or what clothes I had on), I decided to stop wearing extreme shapewear — until now. Because it turns out that body-positive supermodel Ashley Graham has been wearing shapewear brand Squeem A LOT. As an Ashley Graham aficionado, I knew I had to give her favorite shapewear brand a try — and I enlisted my co-worker Lauren to come with me on my journey....

That’s right, friends: sun’s out, legs out. And for many people, adding a touch of leg makeup helps them feel their summer best. But which leg makeup is the best for summer? Which product will give me the glossy, perfected legs of a Malibu Barbie? There was only one way to find out. I tested five different leg makeup products, ranging in price from $12 to $52, to find out which one(s) would give me the Barbie legs of my summer dreams....

I also learned that Vicodin makes my head so fuzzy that I get randomly dizzy and wicked dry mouth and can’t concentrate on anything … but I digress. Do you actually know what goes on when a woman is having her fallopian tubes tied? Different types? I’ll tell you a bit about what it was like, in case you’re considering the procedure, or if you’ve had one, let me know if your experience lined up with mine … As with my past experiences, I remember them putting meds in my IV, then waking up after surgery....

At the time, I told my husband I wasn’t sure if his boob grabs and brushes were accidental or on purpose. I was never sure whether his comments made out of ear shot of our spouses were jokes or not, and I was never sure what to do. A new article on CaptainAwkward.com kind of brought this back. My husband dumped this friend for other reasons (thank God), and I no longer have to tell my husband he isn’t welcome in our home....

The folks at Today recently released the results of an elective survey they conducted through their site. After polling more than 7,000 mothers from around the country, they found that moms who have three kids are insanely stressed — much more than moms who have one or two children — but surprisingly, moms who have four or more kids reported having significantly lower stress levels than other mothers.

Our thoughts and feelings are irrelevant, though, because the treats keep coming! One Reddit user recently shared a photo of some butter she made using her breast milk. As someone who nursed and found it extremely difficult to pump more than two ounces at a time, I commend her for sacrificing even a teaspoon of her precious breast milk to make something as dispensable as — eck — butter. But other Reddit users didn’t hold back and had a lot to say about this woman’s final product....

*We are being 100% sarcastic, by the way. As seen by how much these plus-size women slay, clearly we are not being serious. Plus-size women can be silly or sexy for their Halloween fun, and they’ll look just as great as a thin person doing it too. title: “You Can T Dress Sexy For Halloween If You Re Plus Sized” ShowToc: true date: “2024-10-03” author: “Genevieve Percy” *We are being 100% sarcastic, by the way....

A recent article on Yahoo! revealed that “micro cuts” from cheap, coarse toilet paper (you know, the kind that they use in your office) aren’t nearly as uncommon as you would think. In fact, one doctor who was interviewed for the piece likened generic toilet paper to using “sandpaper on your privates.” Ouch! But, that’s not where it ends. Here are five things to keep in mind when heading into the lavatory....

“Faith” will be the first ever plus-size superheroine to get her own movie. Yes! If you’re not caught up on the comics, here’s what you should know about Faith. “She’s what is called a “psiot,” so her powers are psychically based. In the previous Valiant series “Harbinger,” her powers were unlocked by a fellow psiot named Peter Stanchek. She joined up with Peter and a group of other teenage psiots, who called themselves the Renegades, who fought to bring down the corporations that were trying to manipulate the psiots for their own purposes....

Most of the time when I watch Grey’s Anatomy, I do so knowing that my doctors don’t really talk about their love lives while I’m under the knife (please god). They don’t really all trade sex partners back and forth like horny teenagers instead of respected surgeons and mostly, I watch knowing it’s fiction. However, the (very stressful) episode did feature something that, had I been pregnant, would have had me clutching my belly with worry....

Geez! Can’t this girl get a break? Between Deena’s drunken arrest and unintentionally flashing everyone on the beach, it seems like she’s run into a major bad luck streak. (Or maybe all the extra attention is a good thing?) Ok, back to the wardrobe malfunction. Judging from the pictures, it appears to have happened pretty quickly — and I’m sure Deena was able to make a speedy recovery once she realized she had a major slip going on....

Of course, plenty of people don’t think it’s shocking at all, and in fact, they’re pretty offended that ANYONE would be taken aback by the photo. So then I started feeling like maybe I was a bad person for raising an eyebrow at an innocent image of a mother and child … but then I remembered a somewhat similar nursing scene from Games of Thrones that everyone agreed was shocking....
