Of course, one woman’s dislike could be another one’s turn-on, but after delving into this list, chances are most of us will be shaking our heads in agreement … or at least understanding each woman’s feelings and thoughts. Maybe it will even cause women to look at their own relationship and think something needs to change. For anyone who’s made a list of the types of guys they’d never date, many qualities listed here may be on it — and many of them are fairly universal....

“Parents don’t want to just write the circle of an O, like Robert,” explains baby naming expert Laura Wattenberg, founder of Baby Name Wizard. “They want the ‘oh’ sound itself.” Certainly, some celeb parents jumped on the “oh”-sound bandwagon early on. Brad and Angelina have Shiloh. Nicole Richie named her daughters Harlow and Sparrow. “But trends this big don’t come from celebrity names,” says Wattenberg. “There’s a huge overarching desire right now to choose names that contain long vowels and crisp consonants....

I think it’s pretty normal to want to know all the details and to speculate on what’s going to happen next. It’s also really easy to assume that a person would know what to would do in that situation and to assume cheating is always going to be a deal breaker. But women who dealt with their own cheating scandals, it seems like the reality is a lot more complicated than what they might tell their friends or share on social media....

Drip wedding cakes feature perfect drips that melt down the sides of the cake. They are often done on every layer of the cake, but they can also only appear on one (usually the top layer). Drip cakes are done in a variety of different colors and flavors. People have made the drips out of chocolate, caramel, and various frostings, of course. They can be done in almost any color from vibrant hues like pink, purple, and orange to elegant rose gold or silver....

When the options are limitless, how does one know they’ve made the right choice? Well, it all comes down to what type of first day the young kiddo is going to have. Any kid who’s the superstar of recess and likes to run and play needs a style that’s going to stay put all day long. Other kids, however, do well with leaving their hair down and returning home with minimal tangles and knots....

Lollapalooza, which is currently raging in Chicago through August 6, is going to go down as this year’s most memorable festival for one reason: a twerking Malia Obama (which you really, really need to see). Aside from Malia and a killer lineup that includes Jay Cole and Lana del Rey, Lolla is also bringing the heat with stylish AF outfits. There’s the usual boho stuff (fringe, Lennon-esque sunglasses, bandanas) but there’s also a ’90s-grunge-meets-hip-hop aesthete that’s just so Chi....

Your sternum — aka underboob area — is basically a blank canvas waiting to be filled with whimsical artwork. Unlike chest tats, sternum tattoos usually start between the breasts and then swoop underneath them, playing up the body’s natural curves.

A few weeks ago, the inevitable happened: I turned into my mother. It happened at Nordstrom Rack where my daughter relentlessly begged for a t-shirt that I refused to buy. “Lily,” I calmly said, “I refuse to pay 20 dollars for a shirt that has holes in it. If you want a shirt with holes, go home and rip one that you own.” And then it hit me. My mother had said the exact same thing to me 30 years before....

It’s not like moms “don’t care.” In fact they do care, a lot, but being the selfless goddesses they are, they often shirk self-care in order to have their other family members settled. And while it is impossible to help moms reclaim every moment they once had to get themselves ready, there are small things they can do to feel more put together and stylish. One unsuspecting way to do it?...

Now don’t get us wrong; breastfeeding can be breathtakingly glamorous, of course — especially when a professional photographer is snapping away gorgeous and sentimental snapshots perfect for social media. But a majority of the time, unfortunately, it’s nowhere near as beautiful or empowering, thanks to the cracked nipples, excruciating mastitis, and painfully engorged boobs that can come along with physically nourishing a growing human being. Yep, it’s true. From nursing moms dealing with milk blebs and passing clogged ducts to fighting off thrush and being bitten until they bleed, breastfeeding simply isn’t fun for everyone....

Instant Pots (as everyone likely already knows) are brilliant because they require little actual “cooking” to get the job done. Just prep the ingredients, dump them in and forget it! And unlike slow cookers, which — as their name implies — aren’t particularly speedy, Instant Pots magically turn raw meat, veggies, and grains into simmering full-blown meals in no time. Plus, there’s way less clean up than cooking the old-fashioned way....
