Okay, so I’m jumping the gun a little here, but after a brutal winter full of snow storms, the fact that it’s supposed to be 70-degrees here in New York this weekend has me doing my happy dance, and I am already thinking of frozen cocktails. One of my favorite frozen drinks is the strawberry daiquiri. My girlfriends and I used to get virgin daiquiris at the local TGI Fridays when we were younger … we thought we were hot stuff....
That’s the first thing that jumped out at me about Shannon, the girl hooked on drinking gasoline who recently made an appearance on TLC’s My Strange Addiction. She’s addicted to something that’s not even intended for human consumption, an addiction her mother is aware of, and still it seems no one is stopping Shannon from keeping gallons of gasoline under her bathroom sink for convenient daily access. WHY? This girl is the definition of “danger to herself....
This injured mourning dove in my backyard stole my morning. Find out how… Now I LOVE birds. I’m a bit of a bird maniac, in fact, and I love all the birds that come into my backyard. The pomegranate tree is blooming, which means hummingbird time! Yesterday, I caught sight of a whole flock of white pelicans circling overhead. I have the regulars too: scrub jays, mockingbirds, sparrows, finches, crows, the occasional hawk, and, of course, lots of mourning dove pairs....

Farouk Systems Creative Artist Danielle Bucco-Regazzi shares with us the very simple steps on how to achieve the fishtail braid. It is the look actress Jennifer Lawrence will be wearing in the movie The Hunger Games, so we think it’s going to be even more of a must-have style than it is now once it premieres. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to fishtail braid. Start with dry hair. Bucco-Regazzi suggests you will need:...

How to Frame a Picture Like a Pro by Pat McNulty Framing pictures can be a difficult proposition, but it is worth the effort to preserve art to keep it safe for years.

So along with making sure you’ve got it installed correctly, that you’re using it correctly and age appropriately for your baby or older child, that it’s not expired … you also have to think about what happens to your car seat if you actually DO, god forbid, get into a car accident. Even if your baby’s not in the car, or your car isn’t totalled, there are multiple things you need to consider, because a car seat that has done its job in an accident often will have damage that would prevent it from being safe in a second....
I started painting my nails when I was 10, as a way to help me stop anxiously biting my nails. I no longer bite my nails, but giving myself a manicure every week remains one of the most important elements of my self-care routine. As you can imagine, I’ve given myself hundreds — maybe even thousands — of manicures. I have tried every nail polish, at every price point, in every combination....
By the end of her short life, she looked like a skeleton covered in skin. She looked desperately sick. Emaciated. How, you may wonder as you look at her photos, could someone look at themselves in the mirror, see that, and think it was desirable? What’s more, how could other girls look at Isabelle’s photos and want to be like her? That’s the hardest part for me to understand. Isabelle, however, was so brave....
It would later come through the woodwork that their friendship had indeed ended, after Star leaked De Jager’s infamous contract with his arch nemesis, Too Faced CCO Jerrod Blandino, to prove De Jager had been paid unfairly for a collaboration with the brand. Since then, De Jager and Star’s former friendship has been a lingering sore spot in the beauty vlogger community, but it appears it’s finally beginning to heal....
Those are all important things to note, and as a public figure, Star should be prepared to accept and address that criticism. But there’s something else going on in his review, which is that he seems to use it as a platform to take shots at former friend Nikkie Tutorials. “Another thing that was a little controversial the last two days is that beauty YouTuber NikkieTutorials deleted her entire Shape Tape review!...
Rebecca, who is a pediatric nurse at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital doesn’t play around with car seat safety and admits that she comes across as an overprotective mom — but that doesn’t stop her. “Because I know my husband, I’m sure that he laughed at me and rolled his eyes before tightening the car seat and fixing the chest clip,” she wrote. “My precious little bundle of joy was so well restrained in his car seat, THAT HE DIDN’T EVEN WAKE UP,” Rebecca wrote....
“Having kids separated my abdominal wall like Moses parting the Red Sea,” Mazza wrote in her post. “Yeah it’s not good and my stomach kinda points out like a cone. So you know, I am trying to get fitter and fix it so was suggested by a [doctor] to try yoga.” Hilariously documenting how self-conscious she felt getting ready for and set up in her first class, Mazza revealed, “I’m thinking, holy s–t, this is real yoga, not like 5,6,7,8 and stretccchh....
“I’m a hairstylist by trade,” she tells CafeMom. “I just love taking photos of my kids.” You can hear her 3-month-old daughter, Liberty, gurgling in the background and her 2-year-old son, River, asking his mom, “Mom, where is my napkin?” But such is the life for a busy working mom who is juggling two kids and while her recent passion project has quickly gone viral. Between her parenting duties and her career, Wexler has somehow found time to become a whiz with a needle and thread....
Instead, Rothenberger felt like she was just at the mercy of strangers and that the relationship she had built with her doctor was “all in vain.” By the time her baby boy finally arrived, she was too physically and emotionally exhausted from what she went through at the hospital to even care that she had a baby. “I was so foggy from all the drugs, I didn’t know what to think....
According to many ladies, dating a short dude is a big no-no. What’s even more concerning is the fact that only a small percentage of men actually meet women’s height “requirements.” “I also deal with so many ignorant men who make a huge deal about my height, probably to bury their own insecurity or intimidation,” a woman told BuzzFeed. “They make endless unwarranted comments, trying to reassure me that I don’t seem ’too tall’ or ’too big....
But deciding to embrace who you are isn’t something you just do once — loving yourself is a journey, not a destination. Since I started at Revelist, I’ve done emotional work I didn’t even know I had to do in order to love myself and my body fully and completely. But despite all that, there’s one body insecurity that I’ve never been able to shake… until now. I was 14 when someone called me “bacne” for the first (but not the last) time, and that idea that my imperfect, blemished skin was disgusting and shameful really took its toll....
I struggle to identify my emotions. I identify my dominant emotion as anger. I am angry because the first video I saw of this story was the video of Alton’s son struggling unsuccessfully to control his emotions on national TV. He, a child, now knows senseless loss. I think about the 4-year-old daughter of Philando Castile’s girlfriend, who instinctively took on the responsibility of comforting her mother. My heart breaks at the burden of trauma these and so many other kids of color will carry with them throughout their lives....
Following the surgery, the incisions had to remain open and packed so that the milk could continue to drain out for an unknown recovery time. “The heartbreaking news of it all — I have to stop nursing on my right side completely, nor can I pump. I’ve tried so hard and done everything I could to exclusively breastfeed my baby, so when I originally stated that I see the survivor of a six week battle in the above photo — that’s exactly what I meant,” she wrote....
One of the ways to make departures more efficient is by finding or creating spaces for our stuff to land upon arrival. Whether you only have the wall space behind your door or a complete mudroom to work with, there are plenty of creative ways to keep those backpacks and shoes from ending up dispersed throughout the house for someone else to trip over. We’ve rounded up several ways some creative bloggers have done just that....
