Ick, I can’t even think about it without getting a shiver of disgust! And with good reason: Sandboxes are one of the germiest places you can possibly imagine, more pathogen-riddled than even the average toilet seat in an elementary school bathroom. Of course it’s incredibly hard to ban your toddler from playing in sandboxes altogether. Ever try explaining to a two-year-old that she can’t play in the sand with her friends because she might get a yucky rash?...
Yup, all attire for females must be pre-screened and pre-approved before teens can purchase tickets to the biggest dance of the year. Sucks if you’re a last-minute shopper! OK, in all fairness, the young men must abide by a dress code as well, and stick to suits and tuxes, but they’re probably not required to show pictures of their outfits before purchasing their tickets. The New York Daily Record reported that Delone Catholic High School in McSherrystown announced their policy in March, about six weeks before the school’s May 1 prom....
So what’s the science behind the stomach sleepers having all the nighttime fun? Researchers hypothesize that sleeping on one’s stomach constricts airflow to the brain, which can result in a feeling of being restricted. And maybe being restricted, aka restrained, is a turn-on for some sleeping beauties? If you’ve been hearing all about how Fifty Shades of Grey has given your friends incredible dreams, and you have yet to experience a sexy-time slumber, maybe swivel from your side to your stomach....
With that said there are some celebrities who have opted for veneers, and, well, they’re not exactly doing them any favors. Take Snooki for instance. Apparently, the Jersey Shore star is now raking in enough dough to buy herself a new smile and it’s … serious. Snooki and her brand new pearly whites are over the place, and I’m feeling a little blinded. Man, that poor little momma meatball. Snooks isn’t the only one with a fake smile that’s just a little too much to handle....
Reportedly, this is an all-boys school. Since it’s middle school, I guess the boys are around 11-13 years old. Besides the fact that kids are tech-savvy enough these days to stream porn on their phones, is there anything really shocking about this? Movies are chock full of scenes of boys around this age doing the deed with dad’s well-worn Playboy stash. I’m certainly not saying the boys shouldn’t be suspended....
Fast forward ten years and I found myself pregnant and in the pool four mornings a week, doing 75 laps a day. What the hell was I thinking? So it turns out swimming is amazing for pregnant women. Not only does it allow you to work all of your muscle groups — but you no longer feel 30 pounds heavier. Like any exercise you do, pregnant or not, you need to start out slow if you’ve not been exercising regularly....
As more women feel empowered to speak out about their own experiences with sexual harassment thanks to the viral #MeToo movement, Instagram user DiAna Channing can’t help but see one form of harassment many people have overlooked. “Speaking of sexual violence, how is telling a woman and child to cover up not sexual violence? Stop sexualizing breastfeeding,” she wrote. “Motherhood is so f*cking fierce. What could be more perverse than asking a woman to feel shame for nurturing an innocent life in the way she was biologically designed to do?...
A couple weeks ago, he tried to win me back. He made us a reservation. He told me he changed. He loved me. Gorgeous. Confident. He would never hurt me again. This was a forever kind of thing. It was hard to take him seriously considering our past. At the time, I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt. You know who was sure? His girlfriend. As in, current one. Nine days after our Thursday night rendezvous, she messaged me to tell me that she looked through his phone, saw him trying to win me back, and that I should know the truth....
Currently, I’m about 14 weeks pregnant — I know, not very far along — and I still feel pretty much like my pre-pregnant self. Well, mostly. There have been a few quirky things here and there. Like, from about weeks 6 to 9, I just wasn’t into the food I’m normally into; I looked majorly pale there for a spell; and I’ve been having some really weird, kind of disturbing dreams as of late....
What’s a CString, you ask? Essentially, it’s an underwire for your crotch. You can wear it either as lingerie or, according to its makers, as a bikini. (Good luck with not getting arrested should you choose to wear this on a public beach.) Believe it or not, I bought a CString and tried it out for a beauty column … Want to know what I thought? Keep reading! Here’s what I wrote for my beauty column in Her Nashville magazine about the c-string: Not only was my CString humiliating, it was also incredibly uncomfortable....
I was talking with a guy friend about this just yesterday. He doesn’t do long distance because he likes having sex too much and he lives in Los Angeles where we, apparently, have the most sex. He says he’s known women who are sexual camels, a term first used on Seinfeld to refer to someone who can, upon having sex once, or lots of sex over a short period of time, go a long while before having sex again....
But that’s all theoretical. Scientists are looking for evidence that acai actually provides health benefits. But you might want to try them anyway, just in case. Here are a few ways to get your acai on. Juices: The most common way to get acai is in fruit juices. Since acai is a berry, its juice blends well with other fruit juices. Or you can even just drink it plain. Here are some tips for using acai juice....

It would be easy enough to say: If you aren’t having sex X number of times per week (once? Twice?), then you have a bad marriage. But things aren’t that simple. Intimacy exists without sex and sex exists without intimacy, and a couple who has oodles of sex can divorce just as likely as one who has almost none. This isn’t to say that sex doesn’t matter, but it really shouldn’t be the be all, end all to the relationship....
Today in absolutely absurd style items: A plastic glitter penis bikini. It exists, and the internet is having some FEELINGS about it. Just a note before we proceed — though there’s no actual nudity in this post, it’s not exactly what you’d call safe for work. Scroll with caution, everyone. “Namilia Glitter Dickini will get your aura pumpin’. This freaky lil top has sum sparkly dix that are lookin’ hella fancy ridin’ on rainbowz with a dope 3D glitter effect and elastic around tha neck and back with a bikini hook closure....
The magic behind Elmo starts with something simple: the color of his fur. It turns out there’s a really good reason why Elmo’s always running around without his pants on, and it’s not just because he’s a stubborn preschooler who refuses to get dressed. Red is the very first color your baby can see, coming into focus usually around one week after birth. Seeing as he’s the only red monster on Sesame Street (in fact, we can’t think of any other kids’ character that rocks the red quite like Elmo), it makes sense that babies and toddlers would naturally gravitate toward his red, fuzzy form....
In an interview with National Geographic Michael said that he and his wife didn’t think too much of their daughters’ differing appearances, “We never worried about it; we just accepted it.”

I fell for these ads, hard. I won’t tell you I donated eggs out of altruism. I was 25, and could no more have fully comprehended the pain of infertility than I could have flapped my arms and flown to the moon. But the $8,000 compensation — or what was left of it, after taxes — was equal to three months’ salary. And after that first retrieval, which yielded more than 30 high-quality eggs, I was convinced that I had something other people needed, and that it would be selfish not to share....
I thought some of her Bento Box ideas would be the perfect thing to make for for a nice summer evening picnic or backyard camping. The Bento shown here contains garlic naan ketchup sandwiches cut into star shapes, whole wheat pretzel sticks, strawberries, peaches with sprinkles, grape tomatoes, a hard boiled egg pressed into a car shape with an egg mold (Wendolonia blacked out the windows and tires with a food marker) and leftover chicken chunks....
