By: stef on 03/21/10 @ 4:40 pm

The Myth of Disappearing Baby Weight

By: Rakisha White on 02/24/10 @ 12:07 am

My youngest daughter, who is also my first biological daughter after years of infertility problems, turned 3 on February 20th and I still have yet to return to my pre-pregnancy body. I added 15 pounds to my clinically-defined-as-obese frame during the gestation, and another 15 during a very stressful maternity leave (a newborn with [...]




My mortifying first period story

By: stef on 02/16/10 @ 10:44 pm

Sure, I’ve heard more terrible first period stories (during a book report, wearing white pants, in gym class) but I would bet that few are as cringe worthy and funny as mine…
Like many people I know, my parents were divorced when I was young. I went to see my father every weekend throughout my childhood, [...]

By: stef on 01/30/10 @ 8:41 am

Our Photo of the Week is of the impossibly handsome Jon Hamm, who hosts Saturday Night Live for his second time tonight. I had a hard time picking just one (seriously, can this man take a bad photo?) But this especially dreamy number is from Best Life magazine in 2008 (now defunct). Is it [...]




JUMBO size products? No thanks…

By: stef on 01/25/10 @ 11:14 pm

Did you see the email that Sephora sent a couple of weeks ago that proclaimed “Jumbos are here!” They were toting ginormous, economical versions of their best selling products. But for me-bigger is not always better, at least when it comes to beauty.

While strolling through the fashion highs and lows from the Golden Globes over at go fug yourself, I came across this adorable shot that is my Photo of the Week. Most of the time, happily in-love show biz couples displaying public acts of affection leaves me rolling my eyes and mocking, but Joshua Jackson [...]

Lots of nice words about both we heart this and Julie Hewett, happiness about new pregnancies, positive medical news, jokes that [...]
