These days, how my morning will go is really a toss-up. There are so many variables. Will my daughter be in a cooperative mood, or will she be crying all morning (adding an extra minute to everything I have to do with her)?

“Two-hundred-and-six people is, in my case, the number of people to whom you have to break the news,” wrote Lauren Parker in a Huffington Post essay about her own painful, humiliating experience with giving back the ring. “Usually this is done by some swift combination of you, your family, your wedding party, and your wedding planner, if you have one.” After Parker canceled her wedding, a friend told her that she’d been in the same boat — and her mom was so embarrassed, she made her hand-address 450 un-invitations....
I started thinking about this whole issue again while watching Girls recently. If you haven’t been initiated, it’s the anti-Sex and the City. I swear that show makes being a 20-something look like one grimey, joyless, soul-sucking nightmare. Well in this particular episode, the show’s virgin Shoshanna was getting hot and heavy with a guy in hopes of finally ’losing it.’ Then, as she breathlessly confessed to being a first-timer, the dude bolted....

Enter the “gender games.” You know, those silly, little things women do to torture themselves even more about what the sex of their baby is. Not saying they’re iron-clad, sooth-saying prophecies, but when you’re waiting for week 18, they can be the next best thing....
White ink shows up differently depending on a person’s skin’s pigmentation, and if a person is in the sun a lot — this goes for all tattoo ink but it’s a bit more so when it comes to white. When used right, white ink can mix with color to make the skin an even more stunning canvas. We love the look of white ink over black ink. We are huge fans of the way designs are drawn within other designs with just a bit of white for effect....
