What did you have for a snack today? Some of your kids’ carrots? If I have to fess up, I’ll admit I had carrots. If I really fess up, I’ll admit I ate an apple cider donut, too. If you’re like me, you’re not alone. Lots of people lie about their snack choices according to an article in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior. Here’s the thing: People who say they’re eating Frito’s and Ding Dongs really will gobble down unhealthy snacks....
The “Wine and Egg” diet was part of the “Crash Diets” section and promises to help you lose 5 pounds in three days. Sure, because all you’re spending most of your day …. not eating. “If an intermittent fasting regimen went on a drinking binge in a henhouse, you’d pretty much have this diet,” she told them. “This random menu (I don’t even want to call it a diet) provides 1,103 calories (by her estimation) with 43 percent of those calories coming from the alcohol calories in the wine!...
But sometimes her decorating style makes my eyes smart. Her tablescapes, in particular, look like someone puked up the clearance section of a craft store. That’s why I was shocked to read that the 13 tablescapes from the latest season of Semi-Homemade will be auctioned off for charity. Now charity is never ever something to make fun of … but these tablescapes? Well, that’s a whole different story …...
But author and slam poet Dominique Christina wasn’t having it.

The top 3 chocolate milks are: Farmland Dairies Special Request Chocolate Skim Milk With Omega-3. Seriously, this is what people loved the most. The milk with the most bells and whistles. The skim milk. What are they putting in that stuff? One tester found it “odd,” though, and another “too sweet.” Nesquick Chocolate Milk (original). This was second-place by a hair. No surprise here. Nesquick Fat-Free Chocolate Milk. I threw this in just to see if the lower-fat version would make a difference....
According to celebrity event planner Danielle Rothweiler, the optimal time for a baby shower is between the four and eight-month marks. “Many women are superstitious about even sharing a pregnancy before the three-month mark, and medically, before that is the time when something could go wrong,” Rothweiler points out. “Also, the first and third trimester are both exhausting, so the shower should be held during the second trimester. This way, the mother feels — and probably looks — better than any other time during the pregnancy and is able to attend events like these....

“Soak your bottom in a warm tub!” the books say. “Apply an ice pack!” What they don’t say is 1) putting an ice pack on your sphincter is seriously unpleasant, and 2) things are only going to get worse. Much, MUCH worse. The problem is that hemorrhoids are often brought on by having … ah, a Difficult Number Two. Of course, your entire gastrointestinal system has nearly ground to a halt in order for your fetus to more efficiently leech nutrients from your system, so pretty much every bathroom visit necessitates a fair amount of effort, which only results in more ass-balloons, and on and on it goes....
It’s no exaggeration that exercise can heal you on multiple levels. Here, 16 women explain how their favorite workout manages to multitask as medicine and benefit them in ways that go above and beyond skinnier jeans. “Working out has always made me way hornier!

More from CafeMom: 30 Nicknames That Make Better First Names Speaking about the latest baby name trends of the last 17 years, Laura tells CafeMom, “Some parents turn to high-impact letters like X and Z. Others look for exotic new name sources, which might mean other cultures, other time periods, common words, place names, or memorable characters from movies or video games. (Even villain names are hot today!) It’s a very different impulse from naming after grandma and grandpa....
Of course it’s great for you to connect with other moms, but how important is it that your baby connect with other babies? Probably not all that important. While it’s never too early to start playdates (especially for mom’s sake), Carren Joye, author of A Stay-at-Home Mom’s Complete Guide to Playgroups, says they don’t have any real benefits for your child until the toddler years. Here’s what you should know depending on your baby’s age:...
I had the pleasure of seeing Katy in concert a few months back, and let me tell you, her costumes did not disappoint. Every song, there was a new sparkly number or a weird grandma-esque dress. It was impressive. And one song even contained eight costume changes. Eight. That’s something to blog about. But that’s not what I’m blogging about. What I’m blogging about is the weird, dear-God-don’t-make-this-a-trend style trick Katy picked up from Beyonce after seeing her perform live....

One photo series is doing its part to destigmatize female sexuality. “I love that we were able to speak so frankly with these women about sex and pleasure," Alberti said in a press release. “When you approach the taboo topic of sex through the lens of humor, people start to open up and share opinions more freely, which can lead to a monumental change in people’s mentality.” title: “These Photos Show Women S Faces Before And After Orgasms” ShowToc: true date: “2024-08-29” author: “Anthony Wills” One photo series is doing its part to destigmatize female sexuality....

So we dealt with the recurring sinus infections, the red nose, the lack of smell, or the ability to chew with her mouth closed — because she literally couldn’t breathe! I took her to our pediatrician and our pediatric ENT and both suggested allergy medicine. Yep, I’d tried that … doesn’t seem to help. So the ENT put a scope up her nose (she got a nice toy after that visit) in order to get a good look at her tonsils and adenoids....
