Mint pesto has so many uses — you can toss it with pasta and veggies, spread it on sliced baguette with goat cheese, or use it as a fresh dipping sauce for grilled meats. Try it tonight for something different! Mint Pesto 1 1/2 cups cup packed mint leaves 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves 2 medium garlic cloves 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (or more) Salt Pepper...
I couldn’t wait to get the girls in them. They looked awesome with the sparkles highlighting their little bellies. Then I remembered … swim diapers! I couldn’t exactly put infants in warm pool water without them. Clearly, they could not be trusted to not pee. But when I slipped the suits on them again and the high-cut sides revealed Nemo-covered diaper instead of chubby legs, well, the look was not the same....
Bruce Y. Lee, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who wrote about the challenge for Forbes, cited two separate cases of women who accidentally ingested condoms. One suffered from pneumonia, while the other got a small piece of the condom lodged in her appendix and had to undergo surgery. This is a bad idea, kids. The most important thing we can do as parents is communicate with kids and keep an eye on their social media presence so we know when they’re up to no good....
According to the EWG, 75 percent of the products the organization examined offer inferior sun protection or contain worrisome ingredients such as oxybenzone, a hormone disruptor, or retinyl palmitate, a form of vitamin A that may harm skin. Scary, right? More concerning is the fact that despite growing awareness of the dangers of exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, melanoma rates have tripled over the past three decades, EWG states....
This is not to say it’s not a worthy endeavor. It is. So much so. But it can also be a long hard slog, especially in the early months, and it never fully gets easier. To be 100 percent responsible for the nourishment and growth of another person is both an awesome and overwhelming responsibility, and that’s to say nothing of the pitfalls — mastitis, nipple scabs, engorgement, TEETH. Now that I am three kids deep and five months into my last nursling’s exclusive nursing phase, I can say I have learned a few things along the way....
The pareo is basically an infinity dress for the beach. It’s a lightweight piece of cloth that can be worn many different ways. Tie it around your waist to get snacks at the pool or loop it around your neck and make a quick dress so that you can run an errand without changing. I love the pareo because you can turn it into a cover-up that suits your own body type, whether you want to bare a lot of skin or just a little....
While normally only contributed to women, a recent study and personal experiences confirm it: Men totally get baby fever. Researchers decided to look at three possible causes for baby fever: Obviously, feminists are going GRR at that first one, breastfeeding dolls are often blamed for the second (but bottle-fed babies aren’t … huh?), and the third is the biological clock, like I said. But for men, how much of these are really applicable?...

Usually his head is protected with a hat or his hair, he told Yahoo. So this kind of exposure was unprecedented — and clearly powerful. (FYI, a sunburn is essentially when UV exposure causes inflammation to the skin.) In a later comment on Twitter, Huckabay admitted that he was in the sun for 14 hours.

But what those commenters failed to realize is that all those freckle tattoos look so dark in photos for a reason, and they certainly don’t stay that way. How do I know? I got freckle tattoos myself. As pointed out to me by my tattooer, Bethany Wolosky, the limited blood flow drains the skin’s color around each freckle, and the heightened contrast makes them appear very dark at first glance....
Thanks to Cara Delevingne and plenty of bushy-browed activists, fluffy brows are now back in vogue, though unibrows are still one of those taboos I let my threading professional take care of. Model Sophia Hadjipanteli, however, is all about her unibrow. And she’s using it to send a helluva message. “If you’re in a family where your brother and dad also have really nice eyebrows, you’re never really self-conscious of having thick eyebrows,” she revealed in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar....
Motherhood is a beautiful thing, but that certainly doesn’t mean it’s easy. From the minute you find out you’re pregnant, there are body changes, mood changes, schedule changes — oh, and then at the end of it all you assume full responsibility for another human life. French illustrator Nathalie Jomard knows a thing or two about the pitfalls of parenthood, and she’s captured the experience in dozens of hilarious cartoons that perfectly sum up the indignities (and totally LOL moments) of #momlife....

Before you have your heart set on taking your date to that hot spot everyone is Instagramming, you might want to have a list of options based off of both of your interests. With so many places to choose from, use this simple criteria to help get you through the anxiety that is choosing a place.

It’s not the goal of yoga, but it seems to be happening more and more, and it’s not just women who benefit. Men can, too. On a physical and biological level, it makes sense. When a yoga teacher tells you to squeeze your pelvic muscles, or pull up from your root chakra, or whatever woo-woo words they use, you are, essentially, working your pelvic floor muscles, also known as doing Kegel exercises....
We know that the absolute youngest a child should be forward-facing is 2 years old, but kids can get testy, bratty, and bored before then. So, along with my own solutions, I asked around and came up with a great list of ways we can keep toddlers rear-facing and happy and safer all at the same time. Yes, it’s possible! Utilize older siblings — have them sing, make funny faces, or even just talk....
The Kardashian-Jenners don’t have the best track record when it comes to body-positive style. Khloe’s denim line needs a bit of work to be TRULY size inclusive, and Kylie + Kendall’s clothing brand stops at a size 8/10. But Kylie has friends — like model Jordyn Woods — who are plus-size. Surely her official merch line would take that into account and be good for all body types! Right? And to our surprise, it’s AMAZING....
Who came up with the idea for an open relationship? It was very mutual. We have always been “open.” We both had open and monogamous relationships in the past to varying degrees of success and knew that it was something that we both wanted in the future. It was something we discussed on our first date. Are there rules? The only rules are due to safety. He likes to meet my dates — it makes him feel more comfortable to put a face to the person I’m meeting and so he knows who to go after if I get hurt....
For one Australian mother it now is. But before breastfeeding advocates get all hot and bothered, it seems the multitude of stories that say the mom was breastfeeding her kid too long have it all wrong. This isn’t a case of breastfeeding. It’s sex abuse. Says News.com.au: The court has banned the mom from breastfeeding him, but if the kid was asked to suckle by his mom … and there was no food coming out, is that really breastfeeding?...
But before you start crying in your cocoa, know this: you’re not alone. There isn’t a mother out there who hasn’t been foiled by the holiday photo shoot.
