Bye Bye 7 Year Itch The New Hardest Relationship Year

There was a time when I didn’t completely understand that. You see, when my boyfriend and I hadn’t been together even six months, we were hanging out with a couple who had been together about four years at that point. They looked at us as we casually held hands, and I leaned my head on his shoulder, and they said, “Awww, look — they’re still in the honeymoon phase!” At the time, I grimaced a little and thought, “Huh?...

She almost got it in the end, but then when Mom poses the swimming question, she just can’t help herself. Like I said, of course, we as parents want our children to know what to do when a strange man or woman approaches them, but man, this video is one for the books....

Cold Vs Allergies In Kids 12 Ways To Tell The Difference

How do you tell the difference between colds and allergies? Image © JBryson/iStock; © maxim ibragimov/shutterstock Allergies: “Fevers are non-existent with allergies because it is not caused by a virus your body has to fight off,” says Robert Danoff, MD, program director for Family Practice Residency at Aria Health. Allergies: Itchy eyes are common with allergies because allergens (such as pollen, dust, and dander) enter the area, then they begin to irritate the mucous lining in the eye, says Dr....

Colourpop Literally Covered Up Its Kathleen Lights Collab

Fans discovered a pretty huge secret about Colourpop by scratching up its palettes only to find the brand seemingly had a collaboration with Kathleen Lights that never happened — and now some are suspecting shadiness is at play. Let’s get to the bottom of it, shall we? “Holy smokes!!!

Confessions Of Women Who Ve Been Divorced More Than Once

Yes, my former high school friend was getting married again — for the third time — which puts her in pretty rare company. Less than five percent of Americans get married more than twice. I have to say that I’m kind of fascinated by the idea. I can’t decide if getting married after multiple divorces is a sign of real optimism (third times a charm!) or a reflection of someone making the same mistake again and again....

Dos Don Ts Of Removing Ticks From Kids

Here’s what to do if you find a tick embedded in your child’s skin. DO remove the tick ASAP. “The most important thing to know about ticks is almost all of the diseases they give to humans are transmitted after the tick has been embedded in our skin for several hours,” says Aileen Marty, MD, a professor of infectious diseases at Florida International University. “Studies have shown that an infected tick normally cannot begin transmitting Lyme until it has been attached to its host about 36 to 48 hours....

Ew I Swallowed A Bug Now What

Occasionally, though, stuff happens. Like you might actually swallow an ant or a gnat or a pesky mosquito. First of all, don’t freak out. Aside from feeling kinda gross, swallowing a bug is generally not harmful. Here’s why: Said bug goes down your esophagus and into your stomach where it’s mushed up and digested. Then it leaves your body via the opposite end. If you happen to inhale a bug instead — this happens to runners, occasionally — it will travel down your windpipe into your lungs where it will get trapped by your protective mucus membranes....

Gym Confessions Girl You Stink

On those days, please, please, please don’t stand next to me at the gym. During hip hop class–we’re doing Closer by Neo–I kept messing up. I smelled some powerful body odor, and I kept thinking: Girl, you stink. It’s great to get funky, but someone was getting really funky, if you know what I mean. I don’t claim to be a picture of body odor perfection, sometimes my stuff stinks....

Having 5 Miscarriages In 2 Years Taught Me A Hard Lesson

That first year of married life whizzed by, and before we knew it, the topic of preparing to start a family was upon us. I was 39 years old at the time, and my husband was just a couple of years older. But I thought nothing of any issues we might encounter with fertility. I assumed that when I was ready to “do it,” it would happen. Needless to say, all the chatter over the past year had made me more than just a little anxious about the whole thing....

How 11 Couples Stopped Fighting About Chores

According to that survey, sharing the chores fairly was considered more important to a happy marriage than shared political views, having interests in common, and even whether or not you make enough money. I totally get this. The thing about chores is that they are never done. No matter how many times you clean, you’re never done. Things will get messy again, laundry will need to be folded, dishes will need to be washed — for the rest of your life....

How To Decode Your Baby S Cry

There are about a million reasons why a baby is crying. Some days, they all sound the same and you’ll have to do some trial and error work to figure out exactly what she wants.

How To Freeze Your Wedding Cake In 4 Simple Steps

Even though in this case the sentiment means more than the actual taste, you still want to preserve as much of the flavor and the decoration as possible. Freezer burn is not delicious. So here’s the best way to freeze that top tier of your wedding cake. Pre-freeze. If you want to preserve all that delicate frosting decoration, you’ll need to harden it a little, first. This sounds counter-intuitive, but as soon as possible (same day, for best results), put your tier in the freezer uncovered....

One set watched ol’ SquarePants. One set watched something age-appropriate. The third colored. Guess which group showed the worst signs of being distracted after a nine-minute stint?...

I Picked A Wedding Dress That Hid My Plus Size Body

For a plus-size woman who lacked self confidence, being a fat bride was about as awful as it could get. I worried endlessly about how I’d look next to my much thinner future husband (Joe). I stressed that certain family members would remind me how much prettier I’d be if I had lost a few pounds. And, vainly, the thing I feared the most was that a fat bride could never be as beautiful as a thin one....
