Here’s an example: it’s 6 o’clock and I’m making dinner. My kids are in the living room, fighting over a video game on their iPads. The TV is on, but no one is watching it. My husband is in the kitchen with me, talking about his day as a teacher. Only, I’m not listening to him — I’m listening to the fight that’s escalating in the living room while I dump pasta in the boiling pot of water, stir my spaghetti sauce that’s been simmering all day, and make sure the garlic toast in the oven doesn’t get too crispy while my husband gets in the way trying to help by setting the table....

The actress/designer teamed with Eloquii on a limited edition 30-piece spring capsule collection called Draper James x Eloquii, which goes from size 12 to 28. Full of versatile dresses, statement jumpsuits, and flirty skirts, the line debuted in early March and pieces immediately began selling out. It always piques my interest when a non-plus-size designer curates a collection for plus-size women, so naturally, I had to give the collection a try and see if it lived up the hype!...

The Daily Mail had several examples of men who were duped into becoming fathers by women who lied about birth control or, worse, used the sperm in the condoms to impregnate themselves. Sometimes it seems like all the rhetoric around childbearing is about women’s rights and men’s responsibilities, but what about in cases like these where the man is clearly duped into becoming a father because of the woman’s biological clock?...

Now, Star’s in hot legal water again for his choice of packaging — but this time, it’s not a limited-edition item. “Efforts to resolve the trademark dispute were unsuccessful. Despite LunatiCK’s best efforts with Jeffree Star, LunatiCK determined it could not, on a consensual basis, stop the larger company’s wrongful exploitation of LunatiCK’s protected mark status and was forced to seek the assistance of the Federal District Court. In reflecting on the litigation, LunatiCK expresses the concern that people appreciate the Company is about ensuring competitors respect our unique designs, not to stop others from marketing their own....

Not worth it. The latest beauty personality to speak out against counterfeit products? Jeffree Star. He’s currently chastising Walmart after fans revealed that fake Jeffree Star Cosmetics products were being sold through Walmart.com. And I’m sure thousands of other people made a similar mistake. title: “Jeffree Star Is Fighting With Walmart Now” ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-15” author: “Dean Roselli” Not worth it.

But just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it won’t get you working up a sweat. Why It’s Hot: The eye-to-eye and skin-to-skin contact makes this position emotionally orgasmic. But be ready for some deep penetration — this one is more about moving the hips in small circles than pumping in and out.

So how could you make this funnier? Why, with porn stars, of course. Wood Rocket asked porn star Johnny Sins to do his real-life partner, Kissa Sins’, makeup — and filmed the entire process. It’s the funniest beauty tutorial you’ll ever see, and spoiler alert: it involves way more saliva than you’d expect. title: “Male Pornstars Doing Their Co Stars Makeup Is The Funniest Thing You Ll See Today” ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-30” author: “Tiffany Smith” So how could you make this funnier?...

And along came the menstrual cup. Little silicone cups that catch your menstrual blood. No huge diaper-like contraption between your legs. No killing trees and filling landfills with those tampons and their cardboard applicators. Sounds like a dream come true, right? So why haven’t we heard of them before? They’ve been around for decades, but the beauty of blogging has brought them back out in the last year or two as the be all and end all....

Let’s review the whole image first. That message is that breastfeeding is natural. Pure. It can and should happen anytime, anywhere. During 2 a.m. feedings. On the couch. While lying on your side. In a restaurant. In a park. At the mall. In a store. While walking. During a conversation with a friend about a serious topic. On an airplane while flying to the beach where you will breastfeed in the sand....

A new mom from England, who asked to remain anonymous, is speaking out after a nightmare birth experience that is beyond most expectant moms’ worst fears. After giving birth to a baby girl last year, this mom found out her midwife, Joanne Lumsden, allegedly had a three-month affair with her partner shortly before the delivery. Lumsden, who has been featured on the British childbirth reality show One Born Every Minute, allegedly met the dad-to-be while he was on a “boys’ trip” shortly before the mom found out she was pregnant....

“For me it was a mix of shock and hope,” she revealed. “The idea of giving birth in pleasure felt like a new world was opening to me!” Mangin said the idea behind orgasmic birth felt incredibly natural to her. “After the surprising effect of the idea, it felt logical. We conceive our babies in pleasure, wouldn’t it be normal and natural to bring forth our baby in pleasure?” At one point, the “waves” got so intense, she says she was forced to do a “weird sexy tribal dance” to keep herself calm....

Shared by Cyndy Gatewood, the post begins by addressing fathers directly: Gatewood goes on to talk about all the everyday moments that show how much love mothers have for their children: when they’re reading bedtime stories, helping with homework, “rolling around on the floor.” All the times that show how “silly” and “beautiful” moms can be. All the times that often go unnoticed because moms are the ones documenting their family’s lives, keeping everything going behind the scenes....

But where better to get honest, un-sugarcoated information than from women who’ve given birth? Here’s what happened to 12 Reddit moms’ ladybits after they had kids: “During the first birth I was torn but stitched back up. I’m the sort of woman who has spent a decent amount of time using a mirror to see what is going on down there. Visually, it looks almost completely the same. You can only see a very small amount of asymmetry where the skin healed from my stitches but you’d have to have really known what to look for to notice....

My friend confesses that at a recent play date, her daughter smeared a gooey snack all over the host mom’s bedspread. She apologized to the mom but didn’t tell her kid she’d done anything wrong. I’ve stopped speaking to my friend on the phone while Megan is awake, because she screams endlessly while we talk, blasting a hole in my ear. My friend never once says, “Sweetie, I’m on the phone....

Little Hawk (not his real name, because the Internet never dies) is 5. He wears a pull-up to bed every night. Sometimes he forgets to put one on, and he stays dry. But sometimes he forgets, and he wets the bed — usually my bed, because he likes to creep in there in the middle of the night. We throw down a towel and I can take care of the pee in the morning....

(Remember when we were little and they showed those montages of kids playing on what were either inner-city, concrete playgrounds or abandoned construction sites?) So I’m not surprised that Sesame Street is addressing the issue of child hunger in an upcoming special, “Growing Hope Against Hunger.” There’s even a new Muppet set to make her debut on the show. Lily is a 7-year-old character meant to represent one of the 17 million American children the Department of Agriculture estimates is “food insecure....

“It’s the law, you can’t date until you’re 18 or older. #WhiteLiesYouTellKids,” another added. “#WhiteLiesYouTellKids They don’t make batteries for that toy anymore, aww sorry,” one user wrote. “The ice cream man plays music when he’s out of ice cream #WhiteLiesYouTellKids,” another parent added. “The WiFi is down, so … no iPad for a while. #WhiteLiesYouTellKids,” one user tweeted.

Back when other cartoons portrayed male heroes as the only ones who could save the day, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were the dose of girl power we needed. Now that the show has been rebooted with another lovely brown sister, Bliss, added to the mix, we’re back to the Powerpuff frenzy like it never left. And celebrating our girls with makeup is really the best way to do it, right?...
