Josh Rossi, of Josh Rossi Photography, is a total badass behind the lens who thinks outside the box when it comes to capturing memorable moments of his daughter Nellee. You might remember his awe-inspiring Wonder Woman photo shoot where he dressed his tot up as the iconic super heroine. Well, now Dad is back with a Disney-inspired photo session that will take your breath away.

She dresses like your best friend, the girl you see walking on the street and admire, the fashion model on her way to a casting. She always looks put together even when in ripped denim. She’s casual, wears yoga pants, isn’t afraid of bold print, and even loves loose fitting clothing. Let’s go shopping with this beauty! Check out some of our favorite street style looks of Dakota Johnson.

But she’s all grown up now — 27, in fact. And her side-boob doesn’t appear to show any traces of the former Disney girl she once was either. And we should probably feel a bit naughty even mentioning the frilly underwear she appears to be starting to pull off in this shot. If she was going for in-your-face sexy, she certainly achieved it. But let’s be honest — it’s not like any of us are all that surprised to see her pictured on a magazine cover wearing basically nothing more than a leather jacket and a sassy facial expression....

But this year I heard about Strauss “Free Raised” veal and it looked really different: the calves stay with their mothers, aren’t confined or tethered, can nurse freely with their grazing mothers, and aren’t given hormones or antibiotics. Then I noticed some of my local, smaller family farms (Raindance and Slope Farms) were also producing veal under the same conditions. The veal is pink rather than white because the calves are getting more iron, but it’s still as tender as, well, baby flesh....

Here, they ‘fess up to all their ex-related search habits–including whether their husbands know, and exactly what they’ve turned up in the course of feverish Googling. Do you Google your exes?

Unlike Thanksgiving and that tiresome turkey, ham is a snap. If you buy a pre-baked one, then it’s almost fool-proof. Of course, some hams are better than others, and I believe that all comes down to the glaze. I love this one I’ve used over the years that’s a simple mixture of mustard, sugar, and honey. It’s got just the right amount of sweetness to match the salt, and it will fly off your platter....

Dinner began with us choosing a live fish — well, two live fish and a live lobster, actually — from an aquarium. Then, the sushi chef filleted and gutted the sea creatures without killing them. He cut the raw flesh into pieces and served it on a plate alongside their assembled bodies and heads — still twitching, still quivering, still alive. It was, the chef told us, the freshest fish that would ever cross our lips....

Eyeball Caprese adapted from Evil Mad Scientist Ingredients: Balls of fresh mozzarella cheese (ideally, mozzarella di bufala) Green olives Black olives Tomatoes Fresh basil leaves Instructions: Using a paring knife, cut a thin, clean, round slice from the tip or side of one of the green olives. This is a shallow cut, so it doesn’t matter if the olive has a pit or not, but do try to make a nearly-circular slice....

Most parents, however, have 250 working days. That’s a pretty big gap that has to be covered in some way, not to mention the days when kids are too sick for school. Add in classroom events, after school sports, doctor’s appointments, and various other extracurricular activities, and here’s what I’m coming to realize: I don’t think I’m ever going back to work full time. And honestly? I’m not sure how I feel about that....

Damn, who peed in your candy corn, Slate? As for MY take on Boo Bags: they’re fun, they’re super-easy (trust me, if they required enormous amounts of time or Martha Stewart-level skills, you would not be hearing about this idea from me), and kids go absolutely crazy for them. Want to spread a little extra Halloween cheer this month? I’ve got all the info you’ll need. The idea behind Boo Bags — also known as Ghosting, or Boo-Gramming — is pretty simple: you put together a little bag of treats, include a note with instructions and a sign, deliver it anonymously to a neighbor, and they ideally do the same....

If you have a few simple ingredients in your fridge, you can whip some up in just 10 minutes … for real. I was amazed when I saw how this works. Plus, It’s a great activity to do with kids, too. See how … Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag from Howcast 1/2 cup reduced-fat or whole milk 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons sugar 2 resealable plastic bags, one gallon-sized and one quart-sized 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 2 trays ice cubes 6 tablespoons salt...

I’m a big fan of body scrubs that combine a gritty exfoliant with soothing oil, leaving skin smooth and soft. Unfortunately, many of them are laden with artificial ingredients that can be irritating, or even harmful, to mother and baby. Not to mention, they can be expensive! The good news is you can whip up your own, all-natural version in just minutes with items you likely have on hand. One of my favorite DIY body scrub recipes uses coffee as the exfoliant and comes from the Organic Skin Care Directory & Resource....

But nobody — and I mean NOBODY — lives larger than Too Faced co-founder Jerrod Blandino. I did the research and the math, and it’s astonishing. Here’s EXACTLY how much it costs to live like Jerrod. Jerrod and his husband are building this mansion from scratch on the California coast — but first they had to get rid of the house that was already there. This article detailed the borderline-crazy demolition process: first they knocked down the existing home, and then Jerrod had a buttload of huge boulders removed from the site....

The anonymous wife used the typical reasons for turning down sex: I’m tired, I have to be up early, etc. But she also had some inventive ones: I’m still sore from last night’s sex (REALLY?!), I feel “gross,” and I’m watching TV (a Friends rerun). According to his notes, she said yes on three occasions over seven weeks out of his 27 “attempts” to initiate intimacy. His wife was not amused with his note-taking, writing, “This is a side of him I have never seen before — bitter, immature, full of hatred....

Even when I’m in a bathing suit at the beach or in my underwear in the gym locker room, my mind immediately goes to what other people might be thinking about my body — how they might be judging or scrutinizing it. And, as body positive as I strive to be, it does bother me. So what possessed me, then, to get up in front of room full of strangers and literally bare it all?...

Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you. I’m not the type of person who believes in “ghost stories.” Or who’s superstitious. Or who reads my horoscope. Ever. I’m more a person of logic. And although I certainly think there’s something beyond the right here, right now, I just don’t think it works that way. That way, of course, being shows like Paranormal State and Ghost Hunters. But last Friday, everything I thought I knew was challenged....

The first time I realized it was better for our social lives if we didn’t go out of our way to tell people where our boys when to school was only a couple months after they started preschool. I was at their first karate class, excited to see them try a new hobby and hoping to meet some new mom friends. I started chatting with another mom whose son was in class with my own....

I also didn’t have to wait hours to get inside, get pushed and shoved, or have any products snatched out of my hand — a common experience at Kardashian-Jenner pop-up shops. Congrats to Kylizzle for a smooth Topshop collaboration. There was just one problem with the Kylie Cosmetics products I bought. I don’t have a favorite nude lip color at this time, so the Topshop associate helped me hunt down the darkest lip kit we could find....
