At least it’s cheaper than a stockpile of vitamins and easier than making chicken soup. And sometimes I’d consider giving up my last born in exchange for a cold & flu remedy. (Well, only on the days he’s teething.) The FDA’s website even mentions cold showers as cold & flu therapy. Who knew? According to this cool health blog, Own Your Health, all you do is stand under cold water for 60 seconds after your hot shower every day....
They acknowledge that naming the sex educational materials a ‘sex box’ was probably a terrible choice, but stand by their initiative. Other than the wooden penis and cloth vagina, the box includes dolls, puzzles, books, and a teacher’s manual that suggests instructors “show that contacting body parts can be pleasurable.” It also asks teachers to encourage their young students to massage one another and themselves with warm sandbags while listening to soft music....
Offer tampons as one option of many. Sure, YOU might love tampons and laugh at the thought of using a pad, but don’t assume your tween daughter feels the same way about sticking things up her hooha. “A girl should never feel like it is the only option or feel coerced to try something she is not comfortable with,” says Akua Afriyie-Gray, a pediatric gynecologist and professor at Loyola University Medical Center....
Backlash seemed to punch the brand from all sides with Youtubers denouncing Tarte in LOADS and Tarte fans dragging it on multiple social media sites. Tarte initially only reacted to the controversy by defending its shade range, and assuring fans it plans to drop more shades soon. Now it seems the brand has found it appropriate to apologize — but something still feels quite off. “You all know by now that we revealed our much anticipated shape tape foundation… & the final shade range that we launched was definitely not a full representation of all of you....
While you’re picking up socks off his bedroom floor with a pair of tongs, you’ll be happy to know that your son’s intimate relationship with his hand means he’s got a handle (no pun intended) on his sexuality. And that makes him twice as likely as his more squeamish peers to actually use a condom when he moves from solo sex to a real, live girl. A study of teen boys who masturbate found 86 percent ended up using condoms when they had sex....

Researchers reached this conclusion by examining 1.7 million patients treated between 1985 and 2013, comparing what ailed them with the month they were born. They found that a baby’s birth month was significantly associated to their risk of 55 diseases, including ADHD, asthma and heart disease. Overall? Babies born in May have the lowest risk of disease, while babies born in October have the highest. From there, the researchers also pinned the months linked most often to certain diseases....
Not for the first time, I marveled at how far we’ve come in terms of medicine and technology … and yet my state-of-the-art birth control involved having a piece of hardware forcibly jammed into my nether regions. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of my personal birth control, which is the hormonal IUD (Mirena). Ever since it was factory-installed after my second son was born, I’ve been mostly blissfully unaware of its presence, and I love the fact that I have almost no periods whatsoever....
In addition to Benefit’s tireless promotional campaign, the new mascara has been generating significant buzz. Every single beauty influencer on YouTube and Instagram has given it a stellar review — so stellar, in fact, that some fans are convinced it’s all a scam. They feel that Benefit’s massive #sponcon budget and lavish influencer trips may have convinced more than a few beauty vloggers to give this mascara a favorable review....
People often ask me if I’m going to have another baby, and I’m not sure. I am a mom of two extremely active little boys and can’t imagine adding a third child into the mix right now. The chaos level at my house would be unreal. That doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t consider having another baby down the road, but now that my 35th birthday is approaching, I feel like I’m on a deadline....

It means breaking that rule you had before children that you’d never let them paint your nails. It means trying to hold your ground about only painting your toenails because that’s easy to hide but eventually giving in to getting your fingernails painted too because you’re a sucker for a hug from your daughters. It means taking off your socks and feeling a sudden fear that your toes are bleeding because you forget that your 4-year-old painted much more than just your nails with red sparkly nail polish....

Jackie Johnson-Smith was eating at Fong’s in Des Moines, Iowa, when her baby got hungry. She was breastfeeding him and he was quite fussy so after a little while, Jackie went to the car with her infant while her husband took care of the check. What happened next made her speechless and emotional. And I got emotional as well. I reached out to Jackie and she shared the details.

It was irreverent, well made, and size inclusive — almost everything was available up to a size 2XL. Guess Kylie didn’t realize as many things about body diversity as we’d hoped.

Quality-wise, this hoodie was thick and warm, but not worth $80 of human money....
